Here is the Random Equipment mod, version 2- Mod on Xelerus

In this version the following ships make use of a dynamic weapon and shield selection:
Corsair, Corsair-II, Viking, Viking-II, Zulu, Zulu-II, Oromo, Sotho, Raider, Centauri Commandship, Corp Cruiser, Hammerhead, Hammerhead-II, Wind Slaver, Steel Slaver, Earth Slaver, Xeno Fighter, Himal Interceptor, Meth Enforcer, Helio Gunship, Ranx Gunship, Barbary Gunship.

The weapons are chosen with a filter and are compatible with weapons mods. Future versions may need to tighten up the filters for selections so the weapon and shield choice script is located in a convenient global rather than in each individual ship.

The ships make use of an OnCreate that passes a code to the weapon script, and a percent chance and code to the shield script. It is fairly self explanatory if you have some experience with the mod scripting.

Suggestions on improving this mod are welcome, please test it! It is easy to install, just drop in the extensions folder- runs with either the XML or TDB game versions.

<Globals>
<Image>
<ItemTable>
<ItemType>
<ShipClass>
<ShipEnergyField>
<Sound>
<Sovereign>

I can even say for myself I have been the Globals element for testing in extensions.
Crying is not a proper retort!

No way! How do you implement it then?

Or, why won't this work? :

Code: Select all

It works fine when the Globals tag is removed and the intSetWeaponConfig is placed in the <Globals> tag in Trans.xml

I have seen no working globals in extensions, but they do work in modules.

an example of Global in an extension
http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=66

looks fine to me the only guess that I have is that you need the globals defined before they are used or that you need it to be in a block (no idea why that would be though)

add that, then check out the new and improved RandEquip- just copy code, adjust and go!

one thing that will make your code shorter instead of passing stuff like 5b pass "---vc uv--- ----- -----" that way you don't have the switch and it is more flexible for the levels

hmm... but then the ships contain their own data anyhow, so why go for a global level control at all?

I was building this with the intention that other interrupts can be added to the global to affect entire ship classes or faction styles, or whatever- the concept was to remove control from the ship to a general source that can then be tapped into by other methods, or giving it a switchable On/Off feature.

Global ship functions would work because you can store the data in a static data in the ship (you are storing data in ships when you say 5b). The whole reason to make Globals is to not repeat code.

OnCreate can be called with event fire so that is not a problem. (if you take it out of events you need to define gsource anyway, maybe pass it in)

Yes, I suppose. Anyways, I did it like that. Anyone is invited to improve the method.

For now, the tables to adjust ships are all in one place, easy to read and mod.
The ships use a single global, with very little actual impact on the memory and the entire set up is simple to expand on.

Or, in other words- everything we wanted to see in a version 2 of the Random Equip concept...

I am not saying its bad, if you have more than one ship using a certain thing like 4b then your way would be better. It really depends on how you see it working and how do you want it adjusted.

To tell the truth I wasn't thinking of the case where you wanted to adjust multiple ships at the same time that is a good idea 8)

edit: in that case I would make stuff like 4b as global functions that just pass back a string you have the flexibility of changing multiple ships at once and you get rid of the switch.

I was also thinking that the flags (4b, 4a, etc) could evolve a little over time- perhaps some major factions could have their own tags like 'ranx' which could have the equipment selected from a new function that offered dynamic evolving configurations.

The luminous could be treated in the same manner- compiling the function they use into the equipment manager script set would be easy, and could then be more freely ported to other mod ships, don't you think?

if you want them to evolve over time then make them functions (you can delay the running of the function by making it a string then using one of the function functions to run it)

that way each group can evolve in different ways you can even change what you pass in over time too (not that you need to but still)

this would be easier on irc ;)

that is what notes and logging are for 8)

if you want weapons to evolve over time then you want to remove the old weapon and to do that I would store the random weapon created in the ships data (I would call it currentWeapon) that way you can call onCreate every so often (or whatever the global event would be called) every time you want the weapons to change. If you want weapons to change at different rates then I would also store a data saying how long you want to keep it (a conditional). This way you can call all the weapon changing code often and weapons can change at different rates for different groups.

any thoughts on this?
