[[Discussion] Mod Loader]

I've been super busy so I haven't had time to dig into this. I like the progress that's been made though. I am excited to see what comes out of this discussion. If you need some help testing it I would be more than willing to do so. I could adapt some of the scripts I have now to try to use your system.

[[Discussion] Mod Loader]

I was thinking of something like this as well. I want to be able to update the game, and not have to tracked down all the single changes that were made to customize the server.

 

I was trying to implement something like you laid out that was pulled from a git repo on restart so I didn't have to login to the linux box every time I wanted to update a mod.

[[REQ] Sector Callback Example]

Thanks for the tips I think I was confusing myself over thinking it. This should be more than enough to get me started.

[[REQ] Sector Callback Example]

Calling all experienced modders. I have been trying to figure out how to hook Sector onPlayerEntered. I am looking to have it executed on the server.

 

I have been playing with it, but I haven't had any luck. I am new to LUA and have some cool mod ideas. I am mainly confused on where should I be defining the hook. I tried to place it in server.lua and several other spots.

 

Not looking for a 100% example, but some tips on where I should be putting the code and maybe file structure.

 

Thanks in advanced for any input.

[REQ: Mod to respawn resources (In starting sectors)]

hi, thx for that script.

i lowered the respawn time on server to min 10.0 and max 20.0 to test that script.

does a server restart and a start with a new galaxy.

but it doesn't work. then i copied the file to my client; no result, too.

 

i'm running a dedicated public server with ubuntu server.

 

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"

VERSION="16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"

 

I'm having the same issue as you. I am looking to hook the sector entered event then use that to add the script. I don't know if it's the correct way, or if it will work...
