Recently I have thought of a weapon idea, but I have no clue how to implement it with modding if it is even possible to do so. The idea is that a large projectile will explode, then spawn smaller projectiles like a cluster munition. Would it be possible to mod, or is it not possible to make something like this currently?  I am not a professional programmer, but I know some of the basics and with a bit of help I believe it would be possible if you would not mind. 

Thanks!

Tao is a total-conversion mod for Avorion.

Steam workshop link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3007442662

It's "headline features" are:

* less overwhelming loot system
* galaxy & combat overhaul
* massively better performance
* quality of life improvements

What to expect:

* a fun sandbox experience
* a reasonably balanced "1.0"-quality release.

What not to expect:

* Any story, or tutorial. Play the original first!
* Multiplayer hasn't been tested at all.

It's really easy: Just make sure that the music you want to add is in .ogg format and put it in the appropriate folder. Since most music is .mp3, you'd probably need to either use a software program to convert them, or find a website that will do an online conversion for free. (Try searching for "mp3 ogg batch online convert".)

Myself, I used the free Audacity audio program because it allowed me fine control of quality and file size. (I used a quality setting of "4", which is good enough for me. But "5" may be slightly better.)

But doing it that way was tedious. There are sites and programs that can batch convert dozens of songs at the same time, which is obviously much faster.

Background (ambient) music is located here:

{Steam folder} \steamapps\common\Avorion\data\music\background

Action (combat) music is located here:

{Steam folder} \steamapps\common\Avorion\data\music\action

Don't get me wrong: I love Avorion's music! However, there are only 8 background tracks and only 8 action tracks. After a while, they can start to sound a little repetitive. So, I wanted to add more.

In case anyone else would find this useful, here are the tracks in X2: The Threat that fit a background / ambient theme:

And here are the X2 tracks that fit an action / combat theme:

IMO, another game with music that sounds rather reminiscent of Avorion's is Eve Online.

By the time we reach Jupiter Station, I don't want their engineers to have a thing to do but give us a wash and a wax.

No longer must you play research station lottery or the shopping list game to fill a factory if you already have a turret you like. This mod allows you to cannibalize other turrets to upgrade an existing one. Please consider this mod BETA - while I have play tested it myself quite a bit, nevertheless it is still new and doing things nothing else is and nobody else documented.

You select the turret you want to upgrade and drag it to the big box. Then you can select up to 5 additional turrets to destroy and drag them to the smaller boxes. The more turrets you select, the bigger the upgrade performed to the selected turret. The tech level of the turrets you scrap is also part of the upgrade math, use turrets greater than or equal to the tech level of the turret you want to upgrade for maximum effect. The rarity of the turrets you are scrapping also affects the final result.

The better the turret you are trying to upgrade, and the better weapons you use to upgrade it, the bigger the upgrade will be. Here I upgraded the damage on a crappy turret using more crappy turrets.

Additionally, autotargeting can be added, and the colour of the projectiles and beam can be customised for credits. You want red beams and bullets? Then get some red beams and bullets.

Upgrade Options

• Heat Sinks - Reduces the heat generated per shot, and increases the cooldown speed.
  
• Capacitors - Reduces the base power requirement of a turret.
  
• Transformers - Reduces the rate the energy use climbs.
  
• Ammunition / Power Amps - Increase the flat damage of the turret.
  
• Drive Motors - Increase how fast the turret can turn.
  
• Barrel / Lenses - Increase the range a turret can hit at.
  
• Trigger Mechanism - Increase the rate of fire.
  
• Stabilizers - Increase the accuracy rating.
  
• Phase Filters - Increase the efficiency rating of mining or scav gun.
  
• Targeting - Add or remove self targeting for the turret.
  
• Colour HSV - Drag the sliders to change the colour of the beam or projectiles.
  
• Fix Auto Nerf - Undo the game's nerfing of turrets that are generated with auto-targeting. Must not have been upgraded yet.
  
• Convert Anti-Fighter to Flak Cannon - For at least 3 other AF turrets you can convert one into a Flak Cannon. https://streamable.com/0bbso
  
• Reinforced Mounting - For 5 other orange or better turrets, reduce the slot cost of a turret.
  

Install / Update

If you do not know how to manually install mods you should be installing this via the Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2017677089

If you wish to customize the settings of this mod you may copy ConfigDefault.lua to moddata/DccWeaponEngineering/Config.lua then any changes you make will persist when this mod gets updated.

MULTIPLAYER NOTE: This must also be installed on the server to work. You know, so you can't just level up turrets without everyone else being able to as well. If installed on the server, clients are not required to install it if they do not intend to use it.

[*]To allow players to use the /tmod command you will need to add it to the admin.xml file for the galaxy. See this post for info.

Usage

While in one of your ships use the chat command /tmod this will attach the Engineering Weapons Bay to your ship, adding an icon to open the main window in the top right corner of the screen. It looks like a little turret with a wrench on top of it.

1) Drag the turret you want to upgrade to the big box.

2) Drag 1 to 5 more turrets to the smaller boxes. These are the turrets you will destroy to upgrade the selected turret. Each turret you add will change the percentage displayed above the scrap bin. For example, if this says 2%, and you want to upgrade a turret that does 10 damage, after it will do 10.2 damage. If the turret does 20 damage, after it will do 20.4 damage.

3) Click one of the avaialble upgrade choices. If your weapon heats up too fast, then upgrade the heat sinks. If your turret fires too slow, upgrade the trigger mechanism. Hover over each button, the tooltip tells you what will happen. Clicking one of these buttons will consume the turrets in the scrap bin and upgrade the selected turret.

Stats which are already maxed out, or do not apply to the selected turret, will be greyed out.

4) You can add targeting and change the colour of the weapon for money. If you if you are just doing targeting and colour, you do not need to add any turrets to the scrap bin.

Notes

Targeting only costs money because I believe if you are paying the gunners to sit there then they can do their one job of pointing the damn gun for you. Consider the money an investment in a really comfortable chair for the douche that's gonna sit there and aim it.

The colour you set will change after clicking the button. That is because the code takes the colour you choose, and then modifies it a bit to try and produce laser beams that won't look as stupid as the colour you picked.

Item rarity and tech level are both used as part of the math to try and keep the usage of the Weapons Bay balanced. To get a good upgrade you are going to have to sacrifice good parts.

If you think a turret disappeared, double and triple check your inventory to be sure it did not stack with another. Avorion does a little bit of a dumb with the inventory where it stacks items after rounding their values, so if a turret is really close to another one in stats but not exact it can still be stacked. To combat this problem, every time a turret is upgraded it will have a Mark Number added to the name. "Double Mining Mk 2 Turret" means this is a turret you have upgraded twice, but I've totally stacked Mk 2 turrets before. It is not perfect.

Future Plans

Make it a system upgrade chip that drops from combat/scavving instead of the chat command to attach it to your ship.

If they ever allow adding custom blocks via mods, it will become an actual weapons bay where the quality of the mods is determined by how much weapons bay you build. Probably shouldn't hold our breath on this though.

The problem is notes won't show on a map, but show in console just fine. Not sure where is issue here, can someone explain?

I started playing Avorion recently (coming from Eve Online) and the game caught me by surprise. Liked it a lot that i am continuously playing for hours and the single player server is running 24x7. I felt some of the features could really make this game more interesting and challenging. One of those are the "Armor Tanking". (I did not like the concept of adding 5 to 6 of "energy shield booster" in the end game to play).  I have been going through the scripts/documentation and have few points on how this can be achieved. 

Armor Plating Mod

I am a big fan of armor tanking than the shield tanking. but unfortunately, its not balanced yet right now. 

Advantages

1. Its a sub-system
2. Provides defense against "Physical", "Anti-matter", "plasma", "energy", "electric"
3. multiple sub-system can be used. but with heavy penalty.
4. defense rating varies depending on the rarity, starting from 4% to 35% (for the maximum)
5. slightly increases the durability.

Penalty

• usage of single armor plating
  • Armor plating increases the overall mass of the ship. 
    • Affected stats - Thrusters, velocity, acceleration.
• Usage of multiple armor plating
  • Doubles the affected stats.- thrusters, velocity, acceleration.
  • gives diminishing defense ratings.

How it is implemented.

• A series of new sub systems are introduced which can be installed by the player. 
• Once this is installed, it affects the ships stats.
•  I  could not find any exposed interface for armor. But the script only exposes the "Durability" factor. Durability cannot be used for this defense rating. Though it will be slightly improved when this sub-system is installed.
• Hence i am listening to the onHullHit event and modifying the incoming damage to the ship, based on the damage type and the damage amount. (This script will be added to the sector). Please do let me know if there are other ways to achieve this.

Kindly do feedback on the same.

You can download current package from GitHub: download link.

Once you have downloaded and unpacked, move scripts/ directory into your <Avorion>/data/ directory.

If you plan to host a public server with some of these commands available for players/moderators/other groups, you will need to configure admin.xml located in your galaxy root directory.

If you want you can clone it into <Avorion>/data. and then use git for updating.

Suggestions for new commands, feedback, bug reports or pull requests are welcome. Enjoy!

This mod will allow you to connect Factories into a single "Complex", where their production power is focused.

I got the idea for this mod, when I was shipping goods between ~15 of my own factories and felt too bored to continue. From my game experience of the x-Series(The space sim, not X-COM) I knew complexes would be the solution.

Combine all the Factories!

Tutorial

Tutorial

known issues:

    - Stations founded before the installation of this mod, can't start a new complex.

      However: You will still be able to integrate them into any complex within the sector, from the next station placed after installation.

Installation Guide:

Download the mod-File.

Go to your Avorion installation Folder.

Put the content of the zipped "data" folder into the avorion data-folder.

Put the content of the zipped "mods" folder into Avorion\mods\. It should look like this: Avorion\mods\complexMod\ ...

MODS that work very well together with this:

First of all, the mod isn't mine, only those missions are.

There are two missions to add in your mod, they're simple to add, if you have Military missions mod, you just can add those files in your military missions  directory and add those lines to your config file. You will see the mission pirateWarlord there, just copy the code right after it.

{bulletin = "mods/MilitaryMissions/scripts/player/missions/dffBulletin", probability = 50, maxDistance = 300},
{bulletin = "mods/MilitaryMissions/scripts/player/missions/braveHeroBulletin", probability = 20, maxDistance = 225},

Well said, let's talk about the missions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First mission: Defend Faction Factories

Objective: Destroy the pirate leader in the target sector.

That mission is like the wipe out pirates one from the vanilla, but the size of those ships are OP to the area, for example, in vanilla, usually the Hull points from the ships in Iron area are around 5k (Faction defense ships), the most strong is around 100k (Station)

Those pirates can have too much more than that. In the tests, those ships has Hull points between 80k up to 300k in the iron area.

They haven't a OP weapons but they will take a lot of time from you, if you don't have the right weapon to destroy it fast.

Second Mission: Brave Hero

Objective: Destroy the Unknow ship in the target Sector.

This one is tricky, You will fight against a unknow ship from an unknow faction. The ship has futuristic weapons and has better material in the ship. On the tests, the boss has trinium or xanion in the iron area. So it's an opportunity to  get better materials.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have any issues while trying those missions, email me at sysgabriel.6te.net@gmail.com.

Remember, those plugins are under development. You should expect some bugs or some issues.

Changelog: 0.1.0

I would absolutely kill to ally/fight stuff like this haha!

I am enjoying Avorion right now.

But I'd like to learn much more about everything that happens in the file "internal/stylegenerator.lua".

I've checked the documentation provided with the game, the front page of the Internet website, DuckDuckGo, the Avorion wiki... but I was sadly unable to locate any documentation, noting that the documentation is "not necessarily complete".

The best documentation would simply by the LUA code. According to forum moderator koonschi's comment number 25054, "we don't encrypt anything". I have a legal copy of Avorion. What would be the best way to obtain the LUA code (or detailed documentation) for the "internal/stylegenerator.lua" file?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Looking to get a little advice on a mod tweaking assets. I am having issues with 2 of the 3 assets I am trying to replace. 2 of them are not working but the 3rd is. I did this to test my method of saving the .png files is working. I used the example mod as a base for replacing assets and got it working with 1 of them. But not sure why the other 2 are not working. 

Published what I have here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2772023731

Basically just trying to replace the map-ui assets for the green / yellow blip. I have the avorian.png in there as a test to make sure how I created the .png's was valid and its working. Just the 2 map-ui items that dont seem to be recognized, green / yellow blip. 

Any help would be appreciated on why these 2 assets are not being loaded for this mod. 

Thanks

I've been able to increase the inventory no problem, and include page left/right scrollers no problem (similar to the sell items back to the equipment doc page)

However it appears I'm doing something wrong, or there is a hardcoded limit in the engine for the visual line items that are listed on buying items.

The issue appears when you go to (equipment dock buy gui) page 2 in the listing of the sold items. While the title caption, colors, icon, price and buy button all update to the correct information, 2 items do not update, and use the information from the initially created 1st page listing, which are the item mouse hover tooltip and the actual buy information for the item. They seem to be cached/only set once they are created and do not update. 

So for example, if I scroll to the 3rd page of turrets or subsystems and I mouse over the 1st line item on page 3, it shows the tooltip information from the 1st page. The buy button is highlighted correctly (greyed out or not greyed out, based off reputation) but clicking it attempts to buy the item from the 1st page. 

So basically the gui line items element fields ALL properly update except for Tooltips and Actual Button item for purchasing. 

I'm at work so don't have any source code to provide, however all I really did was take the SELL section (which has multiple pages and shows correct tooltips on page 2 or 3 etc) and adopted it for the buy section. But the tooltips/buy item populate once, then are locked do not update from that point on (but the other items do populate correctly, like title caption color, mineral, price etc etc).

Curious if anyone has experience with this or if its a engine limitation.  I can provide code if needed when I get home. 

Perhaps I can make a clear/re-build function for the tooltips / button item buy per page change. Not sure why it works in sell mode and not in buy mode. 

[Edit] I figured it out, I had to over ride the item in both the Buttonbuy function and hover functions in the shop.lua file to have the correct item

On top of those, I wanted to make sure my new galaxy would have a lot more personality, so I really wanted to start by adding some faction packs, but boy did I ever hit some hard walls!

1) As of this writing there only NINETEEN faction packs in the Workshop, and most of them are Trek or Star Wars. Am I crazy or didn't there used to be a LOT more, including many original designs? What on earth happened? There's dozens of amazing sets of modular ship and station parts - where are all the faction packs?

Okay, I guess I'll be making some faction packs of my own. No worries, there's all those resources from great modders. But wait...

2) I also realized that most of the faction packs which do exist are very block intensive (as are most ships, period, but it's less of a problem for player-only ships). I get that everyone wants the super-pretty ships, but the difference between someone's 10,000 (or 20,000!) block frigate versus the average procedural ship having less than 1,000 blocks is kind of massive! I know the more thoughtful modders add build-screen screenshots with all their ship's stats, but isn't there ANY way to filter the workshop search by block count? Help?

Well, fine, I guess I'll make my own damn ships then, and THEN make faction packs out of them if each ship is only 1k/2k-ish blocks, that's not a huge job, right? Though it's a lot more work than I wanted to do before starting a new game. Hmmm...

3) Okay, so the game does the works of balancing ship volume and Omicron, so I don't need to worry about those, but what about all the other factors? There's a great article on making faction packs (here), but there's nothing there (or anywhere else I could find) about how fast or manoeuvrable to make the ships. If I just want them within vanilla parameters, or a range close to that, what values do I need to be setting??? Sure, I can start a creative galaxy and look at some of the starter ships as a reference, but about the regions inward from that? What benchmarks do you use for, ships from a faction centred around radius 350? What about around Radius 100?

3b) Also, does difficulty scale these attributes? What's the correct capabilities to give to a ship meant for a game set to Veteran? What if I want to try harder or easier modes... do I need to actually make ships faster or slower?

At this point I've gone so cold on starting a new galaxy. If it's going to be this hard to make a new game with a bunch of factions which actually look and feel different from the procedural ones, that just sucks all my enthusiasm right out the proverbial airlock. I'd really appreciate some help here. Anyone? Anything?

Lead Sight Module (or LSM) completely tosses the original mod on it's head.

I had some real fun with scripting the functionality of Lead Sight into a system. It is in my eyes, such a powerful capability for your ship to have on board, so it is set to be a very rare module to find! While I was developing this, I explored and implemented a range of randomizers to how the system works.

Upgrades to the original include:

• Brutal pricing, all scaled against its' stats. Can be worth a LOT of money, 40-50mil at the top end for legendary. You could also get fairly lucky and get a bargain bin variant for only a few mil.
• LSM fixes an issue with the original mod burning CPU cycles needlessly. It now checks for changes less frequently and filters out invalid targets. I really don't feel the value is there such that you need a lead sight module to hit asteroids at speed....
• LSM has ongoing notifications to tell you the state of the system
• LSM will limit itself to active ballistic weapon systems that are NOT set to automatic fire. As with the original, all valid weapon ranges and shot speeds are averaged.
• LSM does not burn CPU cycles for targets that can't fight back (ie: rocks)
• LSM comes with a limiter of maximum range for most grades, but there is the possibility to find a module that can calculate out to 100km... woof!
• LSM introduces a link delay when selecting a new target before showing the leading sight. Rarer modules are faster at linking and "acquiring" the calculations
• Variable power consumption stats, derived at random. I wanted the system to be a HARD choice for the player to consider against other modules. Although, the stat can require hilarious levels of power consumption. I feel it is fairly balanced for LSM's rarity and what it brings to your ship
• LSM will overheat periodically when targets are selected for extended periods, due to the incredible amount of heat generated during data processing. Different modules have varying tolerance levels... Hard to cool off in a vacuum you know! Don't worry, LSM will re-engage shortly.
• Exciting tooltip descriptions, including special flavour text (psst: Easter eggs!)
• LSM contains some modifications for the drawing of the sight cross from the original. Mostly to alleviate (hide) the issue of the cross being rendered behind objects. Only the largest objects (or closest) continue to have this happen.

Overall, this should make your cannon fire so much more satisfying!

Note that this is untested on multiple player servers. Let me know what quirks out and I'll try to address it. There "might" also be a icon display bug, even though it follows the same formatting as other system modules in the game...

I don't have Steam for this game, so if you are so inclined please proceed to upload it with attribution so others can enjoy!

I'd really like it if there was a mod that let you buy other factions stations/mines etc.

Ofc the price whould be above the prize of building one on ur own but it whould let you get those sweet 6 mine systems under ur control to setup a station system.

Going to war with a faction to buy stations seems to be the only way atm but I'd really like it if there was a diplomatic way.
