[A way to to add script to player without involving server]

what do you mean by GUI?

 

And yes to get an icon on the top right you need to attach to an entity, i suggest using my shipScriptLoader mod  to keep the icon(script) with the player

[Hello new to game, Was wondering how to lower attacks of pirates and aliens]

You'll want to modify the server files,  looking for file eventscheduler.lua

[A way to to add script to player without involving server]

The most you can do is hook into a vanilla client function and initiate your code from there.  You'll be limited in capability if you do it this way.  An example of what you want would help me understand.

[[MOD] MoveUI v2.2.1]

1.4.0

  --Added Clock UI, Thxs  DNightmare

  --Added FactionNotifier UI

  --Added ability to delete scrapyard licenses data from the UI

  --Removed Vanilla files from zip, follow installation instructions please

 

I am currently working on version 2.0.0 which i hope will have far better performance on the client, aswell as a some more UIs

[How to register Galaxy callback for a namespaced mod?]

and to help clarify why your method doesnt work, your "Loading" your file into the original server.lua at which point the c engine has already parsed server.lua and did not detect any namespace, since the "Loading" of your mod is done after the fact.

 

The namespaeing isnt true namespacing as other programming languages would have it. Whats happening is the game engine is parsing the files before their even loaded detecting the namespace, and launching the scripts in its own isolated lua engine.

 

 

[How to register Galaxy callback for a namespaced mod?]

the best method ive found to having your own server.lua for your mod and changing as little as possible in the original file is to do this:

 

local s, b = pcall(require, 'mods/MoveUI/scripts/server/server')
if s then if b.onPlayerLogIn then local a = onPlayerLogIn; onPlayerLogIn = function(c) a(c); b.onPlayerLogIn(c); end end else print(b); end

 

As you can see this is designed to attach itself to the onPlayerLogin event, but this can be adjusted to any of the other functions.

 

see my mod here: http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,3834.0.html

 

This mod uses this example.

Here is what the mods server.lua looks like

 

local MoveUI = {}

function MoveUI.onPlayerLogIn(playerIndex)
  -- Adding script to player when they log in
  local player = Player(playerIndex)
  player:addScriptOnce("mods/MoveUI/scripts/player/MoveUI.lua")
end

return MoveUI

 

as you can see I have my own onPlayerLogin event in my own server.lua file, here i can do ALOT more then just add a script without worrying about messing up the original server.lua

 

not to mention its easy for installation, with instructions saying "Drop these two lines at the bottom of server.lua"

thats it you dont need to worry about explaining where to put a specific line or any of that nonesense.

 

I hope this helps.

 

 

 

[How to properly get player craft in turrets system scripts?]

system (modules) are attached to the entity not the player, so you want to use:

 

local craft = Entity()

 

there are a few places inside an entity where you can call Player() particularly on client side functions like onPreRender and onInstalled to name a few

 

In which case if you want the players craft you need to do this

 

local craftIndex = Player().craftIndex

 

    local ship = Entity()
    local player = Player()
    if not player.craftIndex == ship.index then return end

I didnt realize you guys were spending so much time on the test/public server. I hope your using Dirty Server Manager to handle your auto restart needs. My manager has handles thousands of server crashes flawlessly restarting when a server hangs or crashes.

[Is it possible to add new user groups to admin.xml?]

Yes, use the moderator group as an example.  Only include commands in the new group you want them to have.

[How do I clear my players to use a command I add?]

Editing admin.xml needs to be done when the server is offline.  The server hold the file in memory and saves on shutdown.  So changing three file while online has no effect.

[[Forum] Splitting the Mods Area in own Sub Area]

Maybe split it into subforums like: (Mods WIP is for mods that are not finished and need tests)

 

The idea isnt bad, but would mean lot of work for admins to move topics when mods stable version gets released. So it would be better not to do this imo... it would not work. Creating a new topic when mod gets stable makes all older discussions from beta version abandoned... not the nice way too i think.

 

I agree, sticking to

 

Mods

Modders resources

Modding questions

 

would be best

[[Forum] Splitting the Mods Area in own Sub Area]

The idea sounds intriging, but I dont understand how that would work.

A sub forum for each mod?

[[MOD] Event Balancer (aka less annoying exhaust pirates and xsotools)]

This mod works, but i was thinking of remaking a similiar mod to work slightly different in how it decides to initiate events, as well as an easyer config

[[Request] Any talented modders out there willing to make a cinematic camera]

I dont think something like this is possible yet.

Much of the game is still protected, so we dont have access to everything yet.

[[mod] Ship Script Loader (A small mod to auto load scripts onto a players ship)]

I would imagine a mod like Carrier commands could benefit from this as you currently have to exit/enter the ship for commands to appear and this seems to correct that issue :)

 

Exactly what those mod is best at,  any mod that has a menu/interface has to be attsched to the players ship. For example carrier commands, sector overview to name a few.

 

That is why this mod is primarily a modders resource.

[[mod] Ship Script Loader (A small mod to auto load scripts onto a players ship)]

ShipScriptLoader

 

A small mod designed to automatically load a script onto the players ship, regardless of if they change ships or not.

The script will always be loaded.

 

This mod will be extremly usefull to other modders and server owners.
