Solar and Wormhole Phase Disruption.

Solar and Wormhole Phase Disruption.

from Sins Forums

Has anyone tried this, and or do you know the code for,

adding the type of phase disruption that the structures have

to stars and wormholes?

 

When you just cut and paste the structures ability it crashes the game.

I want to make it so it effects the whole grav well, no rings.

Ideas? Thanks.

its giving me a clickable button on the star and saying "sting not found" i cut and pasted right from this post

obviously i changed the name and desc to "hyperspace disruption" because i do not have a cease fire one. but that shouldn't matter

 

this is the first error log:

Text FileArchive missing Label.

EviliroN, are you using 1.11?  Because if you are, then "isPassive" needs to be changed to "ResourceCostType".  And instead of TRUE, it should say PASSIVE.

GAH! thanks this is why i need help sometimes! thanks

 

And tested and still same error as above. I'll keep fiddling

Oh wait.  I haven't really looked at the 1.1 files yet, so try what it said.  Namely, "useCostType".  And I just looked, and that is the line they use.  So try "useCostType" this time.  It should still say PASSIVE after it though.

OK this is what I have:

AND instead of returning this error at game load:

Text FileArchive missing Label.

File: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\v1.11 Evilmod\GameInfo\AbilitySolarPhaseInhibition.entity

End of quote

 

IT gives me this error again:

Entity 'STAR_BLUE' can only support passive abilities and ability:1 'AbilitySolarPhaseInhibition' is not passive
End of quote

 

WHICH means that it is now half fixed...right?

It's a direction at least.

thanks guys let's keep running :)

It should say Passive instead of Invalid as the entry for "useCostType".  I did mention that before.

yeah and when I tried passive it gives this message:

Text FileArchive missing Label.

End of quote

And:

" enums
End of quote

or something like that

then the above about sun and blah blah

Passive has an "e" at the end.  So its "Passive" not "Passiv".

Reply #60 from Sins Forums Top

yeah I know it's a typo here not in game

Reply #61 from Sins Forums Top

I know the problem.  Stars can only have one ability.  Its a hardcode.  You need to add the buffs to the star's Solar Radiation ability, and change the strings around so solar radiation isn't slowing down your phase jumps.

 

Don't worry, planets can have four abilities.

Reply #62 from Sins Forums Top

I'll give that a try tonight, if I can

Reply #63 from Sins Forums Top

Sounds like a good solution. Hopefully this turns out!

Reply #64 from Sins Forums Top

Before I try this it should be noted that the planets that I place this in also are unable to initialize the game also.

such as:

Entity 'wormhole' can only support passive abilities and ability:1 'AbilitySolarPhaseInhibition' is not passive
End of quote

 

So imho if the planets can have 4 abilities it doesn't seem like changing the code into the sun's would do me any good since it still hasn't fixed the problem for the planets.

 

Maybe I should give up?
