    Lifter Dance

    in Bugs

    Posted

    I didn't find (yet?) any particular reason why this happens so posting here instead with bugtracker.

     

    Image describes the problem:

    avorion-dance.gif

     

    For now it happens for every passing trader in that spot. Pretty sure it is just this spot, near this station, in this sector, in this galaxy, but still... It may happen somewhere else in the full game (if it wasn't repaired already in there).

    Demo Compatibility

    in General Discussion

    lol why didn't you simply make the demo basically the full version but with a set of booleans in place to turn off the features not suppose to be in it?  Would make it easier to maintain compatibility.  That said it'd open the door to hackers turning the full version only stuff on. >_>  Other than that little snag it'd make things easier to maintain so you don't maintain two games at the same time.

     

    It's past. No purpose in thinking about that.

    For pirates just open

    data/scripts/startsector.lua

    find line

        Sector():addScript("data/scripts/sector/events.lua", "events/pirateattack.lua")

    change to

        Sector():addScript("data/scripts/sector/events.lua")

    And it should work.

     

    For ayy lmaos

    in data/scripts/player/attack.lua

        if Server().difficulty == Difficulty.Insane then
        updateSuperAction()
    else
        updateNormal()
    end

    change to

        if Server().difficulty == Difficulty.Insane then
        updateSuperAction()
    else
	local x,y = Sector():getCoordinates()
	if x ~= -139 or y ~= 427 then
		updateNormal()
	end
    end

    Note that you will need to change -139 and 427 to your home sector coordinates.

    Avorion Script Tutorial Request

    Protip: Use lua.  8)

     

    But seriously, right now there isn't a lot to write about. What I am doing is simply reading and analysing what I see. Wait for the API documentation which will be hopefully released one day.

     

    I really don't see anything special I could share with you, but if you have some specific questions then just ask. Someone will answer them for sure.

    Clean-up script

    especially not the hundreds/thousands of asteroids

     

    thousands of asteroids

     

    ca. 1,200 asteroids in sector.

    I have just deleted over 4,000 wrecks from home sector  8).

     

    I wonder if I can do it more selective way, just to leave some newer wrecks in their place. Anyway, thanks again. (:

    Clean-up script

    Posted

    Actually I almost did it after writing this post using some really weird logic and ideas but it seems to work. Anyway, thanks a lot. Your suggestion will help it making cleaner (haha, got it? Cleaner code for clean-up script  8)) for sure!

    Clean-up script

    in Mods

    Posted

    I'm in need and I have ran out of ideas. Maybe someone in here has an idea or even completed script.

     

    I need to clean up wreckages in a sector. Can't call Sector() in command or even serverstartup.lua. Most of Galaxy() function names I have tried do no work too. I was thinking of attaching script to a ship but I would need to modify existing one (Station Founder maybe?). But the part of guessing name of getWreckages() (I would laugh if it is the one) function will still be a problem. Another thing will be trying to run proper loop if wreckages function does not return proper array.

     

    Any ideas?

    RarityType is a hard-coded table; at least that's what lua says about its type.

     

    Rarity(n) function takes <-1; 5> as a parameter and returns selected RarityType value.

    n color .. RarityType key

    -1 Grey ... RarityType.Petty

    0 White .. RarityType.Common

    1 Green .. RarityType.Uncommon

    2 Blue ... RarityType.Rare

    3 Yellow . RarityType.Exceptional

    4 Red .... RarityType.Exotic

    5 Purple . RarityType.Legendary

    Adding new station scripts

    in Mods

    Posted

    After trying creating station with a custom scripts it throw an error that the custom script  is illegal and cannot be used. Is there any work-a-round for that? Or is it hard-coded demo limitation?

    Stay with us, Storm, you can learn things here too!

     

    Anyway, I have got screenshot that is terribly wrong and only people who were on server can get what's wrong in it. Its title is "Hauling cargo to The Luseodcyebh Station"

    Server files

    If you don't mind I would strongly suggest to release dedicated server separately as a tool on Steam (a lot of games do that, actually). It will help server hosters in updating and managing Avorion servers (making it easier even for normal person) which may possibly result in bigger amount of servers leading to easier popularity gain.

    Hey Aki. What are you running the server on? I have  16gb linux 4core machine 4U rackmount server i wanna host this game on. So some assistance would be cool :p

    I have couple of 32GB, i7-4790K running mostly on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS. If I find time then I could help a little bit, but, like I said, "if I find time"... I'm preparing guide on hosting Avorion servers on linux, but to be honest, I'm waiting for Steam version arrival to write it only once.  ;)

     

     

    Anyyyyway. It took 14 day of pirates and alien attack to destroy repair dock in our home sector. Shall we do a reset?

    Server files

    Ok, so you are going to be on Steam. And here goes the question.

     

    How will be server software provided? With the game after purchase or will it be available for any Steam user as a Tool for game? Or maybe it will be downloadable from the website. Or maybe it won't be available separately from the game?

     

    And I mean just the server files. Not game itself.

    Why should i play this over Starmade or From the Depths ?

    in General Discussion

    StarMade is a voxel-based 3D sandbox space shooter (copied from their site).

     

    From the Depths is about boats but it is also focused on combat.

     

    On the other hand Avorion is more into space-sim genre. At least I feel so. By space-sim I mean games like X, Elite, Freelancer, Pioneer, XFrontier, Evochron series (Starwraith games), Vendetta Online or even EVE Online. A game in which you can do anything you want and building your own ship is just an addition.

     

    I hope it will have much higher focus on economic, management or long-term combat aspects than just pure building.

     

    Avorion describes itself as procedurally generated sci-fi sandbox.
