[MOD] The Network

[sdw195]

well you would have to have quite a few ships there and i dont know if its possible to have random images, they would alos have to have wingmen settings in them.. so yeah thats why i said random ships like the battle arena

[Drako Slyith]

Perhaps. Right now I'm working on making the doors open and close then completely go away when a shield generator is destroyed. The onDestroy for my station is this:

Code: Select all

					(block nil
						(objDestroy (sysFindObject gPlayership +unid:&stPrisonWall;))
					)

I comes up with a "No Binding for Symbol" error message. Any ideas? (&stPrisonWall is just a replica of the battle system walls)

[sdw195]

you can change the image variant to make them look like they are opening and closing search the tdb for "(bam"


i think that your sysfind would be retuning a list of stations
you would have to enum through it

and add some "quotes" around the

Code: Select all

 (block nil
                  (objDestroy (sysFindObject gPlayership +unid:&stPrisonWall;))
               )

eg

Code: Select all

 (block nil
                  (objDestroy (sysFindObject gPlayership "+unid:&stPrisonWall;"))
               )

I know that's how it's done in the battle arena, but I want to destroy all of the wall so the wingman doesn't get stuck.

i edited my post like 5 times

that is whats wrong


EDIT
you could add a black square to the image for the towers that would make it appear like it was destroyed (as you can not ever get rid of stations completely (iirc) they will always leave a wreck )

[Drako Slyith]

Just reuploaded. I fixed an issue with the topology near Rigel. I also fixed New Alcatraz and streamlined it.

[RPC]

You can destroy stations completely (like the shatter effect, where it becomes a cloud of pixels). Just use staSetStructuralHP and there you go.

[Drako Slyith]

I've never seen a station destroyed by shatter (except for shipwrecks)

[RPC]

I've seen a Ranx fortress go poof.... It is very unnerving to see it for the first time.
I just had this happen to me in the network:

Is ther any way to stop stargates spawning weirdly?

[Drako Slyith]

I think I could fix it, I just haven't got around to it. I'll fix it in my next update.

[RPC]

Ok, there are too many Charon and not enough Ronin in the Korolov vs Charon storyline. I don't know if it was meant to be so, but even my GN Particle field can't stop the onslaught of 20 Pirate ships.

Look at the bottom of the LRS. Where are those ships coming from?!

[RPC]

Wait. Disregard my previous post. I have an old version of the Network, but please check if it still happens in the new version.

[Drako Slyith]

I do know the balance of that needs to be shifted. The problem is that the most powerful commonwealth ship at that level is the manticore, but that tends to decimate the charons, so I tried heavy IAV's and they got mauled, so I have a lot of Centurions. I'm planning to rebalance it soon.

BTW has anyone seen a corporate cruiser? The ship has a 2% chance to spawn a corporate cruiser, but I've never seen it and I'm interested in how effective it is.

[Atarlost]

I'm not sure of the exact context, not having played the mod, but what about using manticores but upgrading the Charon ships? Swapping KM100s for KM120s or KM500s or even KM110s could make things more even. Most of the real Charon firepower comes from missiles which are an easy swap in script.

Alternately use Centurions or Heavy IAVs but change the ratio of Corsairs to Vikings to Corsair-IIs and reduce the missile stocks of frigates and Drakes.

[RPC]

So that's why the Cruiser was there! I thought the Charon blew up a weapons dealer.
The Corp Cruiser sucks. It has the ability to decimate the Charon (its armor is invincible to laser and blast) yet because it has the orders to "leave when shield is down" it tends to only matter when it actually comes back from running away.
