CFW - Companion Framework

[RPC]

Yeah, but I got that from Prophet, so....
I haven't had a chance to play T yet (making a tutorial on how to make ships) but you might be interested in <OnGameStart>

(plug for wiki)
There's also a list of events here:

[schilcote]

you might be interested in <OnGameStart>

I looked at all those things, but <OnGameStart> apparently only works inside an adventure .xml. Dunno why we can't have it in a normal extension...

Here's something I noticed:
The ares commune shows up at the center of the sun. To fix this, just change the image of vtCFWStation to

Code: Select all

<Image			imageID="&rsStations7;" imageX="0" imageY="0" imageWidth="1" imageHeight="1"/>

Can you explain why you commented out the virtual="true" on both virtual stations? (I noticed because green squares show up on the sun)

I think if you create them in every system they can still run events and receive objectdata even if they're still virtual stations.

[schilcote]

Uhh. Did I?

Is there a Trak or something for Transcendence so I can bug someone to add a way to have code that just runs, without having to screw around with virtual stations?

Here's trac link:

Trac!

Trac!

That's incredibly helpful.

So apparently Trac died in the last few days :/

I just uploaded a new version to Xelerus. Again, comments and suggestions are appreciated.

How to make your companion mod work with CFW (in three easy steps!):

1. Call (cfwRegister ship) when your companion joins up with the player.
2. Add <Events> that allow the companion to react to things that are happening! As of V0, the only event is <AngryTentacles>, which happens when the player is about to get eaten by a Teraton fabricator.
3. Add <StaticData> that tell CFW how much your wingman wants to react to the events taking place around him.

Look at CFWOverrides.xml and examine the three vanilla wingman overrides for an example.

Hm, does this still work with 1.6?

Maybe. It's like eight years old now.
