I also found it helpful to download the entire Hammerhead mod from Xelerus so I could see the code as a whole, run searches on it, and look at what's inside the Resources folder. The 'Hammerhead Playership' mod (by Peter) on Xelerus is not the 'Hammerhead II' as described in the tutorial. The tutor...

also if its possible, do you think you could maybe highlight what changes are done through the steps, i find it a bit difficult, but not impossible, to decipher which bits of code have been modified and added to your hammerhead code. I think maybe it might simplify things a bit perhaps. Originally,...

This has been an annoyance for me for a long time. I fixed it in Black Market Expansion by making the behaviour of repair items (barrels, patches, repair kits, patch spiders and patcher arms) behave equal to what stations (and Domina) do: don't repair if damaged for 75% or more. One of the results ...

Nothing is wrong with the current system. Slower repair services, no matter how implemented, would be nothing but pointless boredom. The one thing I dislike about the current system is while armor repair services cannot repair armor damaged by more than 75%, armor repair devices and consumables can...

Cannon Fodder was great (and damn hart in later levels!) my all time favourite is (nowadays considered abandonware, playable on dosbox): The Aethra Chronicles, Volume One: Celystra's Bane ( shareware version ) The Aethra Chronicles is a shareware fantasy RPG based on the Role-Master system, a Pencil...

The problem with that (which I've always hated and removed in my mods) is that the XM300 Reaper does exactly the same thing, and is milspec and militia-issue weaponry. It's only used by the sapiens and really should be a unique illegal missile....but it isn't. Simple solution: replace the 'Military...

I set up a local MediaWiki installation and will try to build from there. However, I'm currently living out of the back of a car, sleeping (wildcamping) in a tent with pretty unpredictable weather (UK), no regular power supply (I need to pop into a pub to recharge my netbook) and lots of daytime act...

From what I observe, I always thought that the 'ok' button started the game creation. Maybe there is a bug lurking somewhere?

I can now read types from the xml source code. some armour types as an example: Array ( [0x00004008] => Array ( [unid] => &itHeavyPlasteelPlate; [name] => [segment(s) of ]heavy plasteel armor [level] => 5 [description] => This is a stronger plate of the popular plasteel armor. [frequency] => common ...

(Finally found some time to look at this again.) A <Library> statement is a reference to a library, not an include directive (like a module). The core engine keeps a list of all extensions (libraries, adventures, whatever) by UNID. When it sees a <Library> reference it just looks up the extension, m...

This may turn out harder than anticipated :-( ~Pixelfck Sorry about that! It's my fault for not using a standard XML parser. Don't worry about it. It should all work out Ok, and the fun is in writing the script anyway :-) question: I'm somewhat surprised at the amount of double reading/traversing t...

Well, my script now reads itself through all the files as specified by <Module>, <CoreLibrary>, <Library>, <TranscendenceAdventure> and <TranscendenceExtension>. I'm somewhat surprised at the amount of double reading/traversing the inclusion tree; CoreTypesLibrary.xml is, for example, visited 22 tim...
