Very clever, NMS, cancelling the event within itself will allow it to be fired again from inside. Adding the cancel code to this code from the API 29 version cancels the event inside of itself and then fires it again. This works in 1.9a1. (if (gr close 10) (block (desire) (setq desire (subtract now ...

Thanks. I got it working in 1.9a1 with the provided code but then discovered a bug when you move the mouse when the code is running. I haven't tried cancelling the event first then re-firing it. That might help with the bug. Not sure.

I have updated the Rotating Ship Pointing mod ready for release on the Multiverse. This mod rotates the ship automatically to the nearest cardinal point to help with lining up long range weapons fire. It is initiated by an added action in the Ship's Interior screen. Pretty much everything I know abo...

Got it working! Yippee. Thanks everyone. That finishes the mod except for a few minor changes. I couldn't make the 'paneInit' code work successfully so used the 'deliveryMission' event. The 'destID' value is set to Nil if the player can't fit all the supplies on docking. A recurring event, "CheckScr...

Excellent mod, AdmiralZo. Nice work getting the angle that the playership is heading to as opposed to pointing at. Very clever. And thanks because I now know a bit about effects too (well, OK, I just searched the source and tried every style I could find :lol:). I fiddled around with the mod a bit b...

Thanks. I'll give it a go.
I tried 'enum'ing orders back onto the ships but not with the formation. Fingers crossed!

Let's run through some XML jargon. Elements, tags, attributes, subelements and text. What is an XML element? For modders it is anything inside '<' and '>'. There are two different ways to enclose an XML element. As in the "Image" XML below which starts with '<Image...' and ends with '.../>'. Or as i...

You are absolutely right, Balentius. All the mod does is increase the number of orbits. It looks a bit messy. A better way would be to add more stations to each orbit but I haven't the slightest idea how to do that! I could only do this because I copied Shivan Hunter's original code. Which could lea...

Looking to upgrade the Binary System Stargates mod. This mod puts a small stargate near each star in binary systems. The player can use the gates to jump to the other gate rather than fly all the way between stars. I have the next version already jumping autons and character wingmen to the other gat...

Awesome. Thanks. Downloaded.
I love it when someone else writes the code!

Early version of a mod which splits the cargo hold into sections. This means selected items can still be in the cargo hold but not be jettisoned unless they are "moved" back to the Main hold. Uses the new 'tab' functions so requires 1.9a1 . Seems to work OK without interfering with anything else. Th...

An update of Shivan Hunter's System Density mod. http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1625 Add more stations to the game's barren systems. Probably not the tidiest way to do it but it works! Thanks to Shivan Hunter for the original mod, tiber for the reminder and digdug for a copy of 1.3 for testing.

An update of Betel's broken Storage Stations mod. http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1624 Players can store known items in the stations for a fee. These items are safe from Salvagers and NPCs. There is also the option to have the items transported to one of the other storage stations. Also for a f...

V2 uploaded to xelerus.

The main dockscreen of both autons now shows how much cargo space they have left.
And code has been added for compatibility with the Commander's Log mod.

Enjoy.

I love the idea of having a tractor beam which could drag objects behind the playership. So many applications spring to mind. Pirate other NPC ships and sell them to the Black market. Drag wrecks to tinkers or a shipyard for salvage. squalus10 had a great idea for a mission using tractor beams as we...
