Description
With this mod, automated mining ships (with captains) will continue with regular asteroids, when there are no resource asteroids left.
Client/Server
The modded code is performed server-side, and therefore it could be used for single-player and server-owners!
If you use this mod as mutli-player client, it won't have any affect.
Installation
1. Open up data\scripts\entity\ai\mine.lua
2. Below this line:
local noAsteroidsLeft = false
add this line:
local noResourcesLeft = false
2. Replace the whole function AIMine.findMinedAsteroid() with this modded version:
-- check the sector for an asteroid that can be mined
-- if there is one, assign minedAsteroid
function AIMine.findMinedAsteroid()
local ship = Entity()
local sector = Sector()
local faction = Faction(ship.factionIndex)
local x, y = sector:getCoordinates()
local coords = tostring(x) .. ":" .. tostring(y)
local mineables
local nearest
local dist
minedAsteroid = nil
-- Start with resources
if noResourcesLeft == false then
mineables = {sector:getEntitiesByComponent(ComponentType.MineableMaterial)}
nearest = math.huge
for _, a in pairs(mineables) do
if a.type == EntityType.Asteroid and (a.isObviouslyMineable or ship:hasScript("systems/miningsystem.lua")) then
local material = a:getLowestMineableMaterial()
local resources = a:getMineableResources()
if resources ~= nil and resources > 0 and material ~= nil then
-- only try to mine asteroids that are mineable by the available mining lasers
if material.value <= miningMaterial + 1 then
local dist = distance2(a.translationf, ship.translationf)
if dist < nearest then
nearest = dist
minedAsteroid = a
end
end
end
end
end
if minedAsteroid then
noResourcesLeft = false
broadcastInvokeClientFunction("setMinedAsteroid", minedAsteroid.index)
else
if noResourcesLeft == false then
noResourcesLeft = true
if faction then
faction:sendChatMessage(ship.name or "", ChatMessageType.Error, "Your mining ship in sector %s can't find any more asteroids. Progressing with normal asteroids."%_T, coords)
faction:sendChatMessage(ship.name or "", ChatMessageType.Normal, "Sir, we can't find any more asteroids in \\s(%s)! Progressing with normal asteroids."%_T, coords)
end
end
end
end
-- Continue with regular asteroids
if noResourcesLeft == true and noAsteroidsLeft == false then
mineables = {sector:getEntitiesByType(EntityType.Asteroid)}
nearest = math.huge
for _, a in pairs(mineables) do
if a.type == EntityType.Asteroid then
dist = distance2(a.translationf, ship.translationf)
if dist < nearest then
nearest = dist
minedAsteroid = a
end
end
end
if minedAsteroid then
noAsteroidsLeft = false
broadcastInvokeClientFunction("setMinedAsteroid", minedAsteroid.index)
else
if noAsteroidsLeft == false then
noAsteroidsLeft = true
if faction then
faction:sendChatMessage(ship.name or "", ChatMessageType.Error, "Your mining ship in sector %s can't find any more asteroids."%_T, coords)
faction:sendChatMessage(ship.name or "", ChatMessageType.Normal, "Sir, we can't find any more asteroids in \\s(%s)!"%_T, coords)
end
ShipAI():setPassive()
end
end
end
end
Enjoy!
