Dirtyredz Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Regenerative Asteroid Fields COMMANDS /regen start Will force a sector to become a Regenerative Asteroid Field Sector. THIS WILL NOT overwrite anything already in the sector. Turn your start sectors or your players home sectors into regenerative Asteroid Fields. /regen stop Will Remove the Regenerative Asteroids script to be removed. This will not remove any asteroids, just the script. Will also make the sector safe for uninstall. /regen now Will force the script to calculate asteroids and the sector limits, instead of waiting on a player to enter the sector. /regen set x Will set a sector to maintain a specific amount of minable asteroids. This will be Priority over MinableAsteroidLimit and MaintainNaturalAsteroidLimit options. INSTALL simply copy the DATA and MODS folders inside your steam avorion folder (steam local folder) usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Avorion THIS MOD IS REQUIRED ONLY TO BE INSTALLED ON THE SERVER NO CLIENT INSTALLATION IS REQUIRED UNINSTALL STEP 1: Replace sectorspecifics.lua with orignial. STEP 2: Delete all files associated with this mod. After which you need to delete every file installed by this mod (except sectorscripts.lua which needs to be modified) STEP 3: Add my Uninstall script to data/scripts/sector/ then add the data folder included in "UninstallRegenerativeAsteroids.rar" to your Avorion directory. this will add script to terminate and remove the script from each sector you visit which contains the RegenerativeAsteroids Script. Step 4: Visit every sector which was a Regenerative Asteroid Sector The uninstall is safe to leave in place as it does nothing but kill the script. Otherwise if your confident every sector that had the Regenerative Asteroids script has been visited, you can remove the uninstall file aswell. WARNING - Failure to remove the script before deleteing the mod will CLEAR the entire sector of every entity (including your ship) All messages except for those alerting the player to the sector will be sent to the console. by default you can access the sector with the ' key.

Devious Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I like the idea and am willing to give it a try :) Tried messing with adding a script that would respawn resources in all sectors but it seemed to be a bit buggy. Is a player also alerted when he finds a sector with regenerating asteroids if the function to broadcast to server is turned off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyredz Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 I like the idea and am willing to give it a try :) Tried messing with adding a script that would respawn resources in all sectors but it seemed to be a bit buggy. Is a player also alerted when he finds a sector with regenerating asteroids if the function to broadcast to server is turned off? The player is alerted via the player notification, the same for neutral sectors, regardless of server announcement. I wanted to keep the frequency average with the other sectors. Thats why I made a point to add a configuration for it, some people might feel they want it to appear more often then not. Thxs for giving it a try let me know what ya think.

Devious Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 The mod seems to be working nicely, haven't fully tested it yet but our players are loving it already. One thing we found is that when a client doesn't have the mod installed they will freeze during loading upon entering the sector that has regenerating roids.

One thing we found is that when a client doesn't have the mod installed they will freeze during loading upon entering the sector that has regenerating roids. I ran into the issue of clients required having the mod installed as well last night. Im looking into it today but my knowledge of the games hasnt revealed the answer. to be sure im not done with this mod I think there is more to add and I would like to remove the depends of clients needing the mod. How do your players like the balance? I wanted it to only regenerate when a player enters a system to discourage afking all night long. As well as it being random through out the galaxy. I turned on regeneration in my start sector and thats it. My friend suggested making all neutral sectors into regenerating sectors whats your thoughts on that? ps. I noticed the server wide message wasn't working properly, Ive already fixed it and it will be in the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, your 1.1.0 release notes does not provide any hints as to whether or not an install is required client-side or not. My apologies for being unclear, my mod was always intended to be server side only. Unfortunately with how Koon had some of the client side working, the client was required to have the same files the sector had. With today's update Koon fixed that so now all my version are 100% server side only. No client side installation is required with ANY version. The reason for my first posting being contradictory to the previous posts is that I modified the post to reflect the mods current state. I hope this answers your question.

Dirtyredz Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Some fixs to the console, sucks that the client can see server console messages. Also by popular demand, apparently some players like knowing when others are inside these sectors. Version 1.2.1 -Removed console print out from asteroid regeneration, forgot that everyone could see the server console.... -Added config option Debug, if true you can see all messages about a sectors regenerative actions. Warning all players can see server console print outs. -Added config option for Repeated sector entry. By request to broadcast a message whenever a player is inside a regerative sector.

Crazey Wayne Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 My server host installed the latest version of your mod for me and all Avorion seevers they host if renter want it, but after editing the config file restarting the server and using /regen start and /regen now, and getting an alert when I entered the sector I see no asteroids that can be mined.

Does it take some time to spawn them? https://low.ms/ It depends on how you have the configuration setup. There is a debug option which will output more data to the console if needed. Some of the configuration such as MaintainNaturalAsteroidLimit if true will never exceed the natural mine-ableasteroid limit. ex, if it had 0 to begin with it wont get any more. If you like that option but still want a sector to produce more mine-able asteroids use the command "/regen set 10" followed by "/regen now" That will override the Natural option and make it so there will always be 10 mine-able asteroids available. Asteroid generation is immediate, as in no delay. If your still experiencing an issue, ill ask you to turn on the debug option, run the commands i showed. Screen shot the console and your config file, and post them here for me to help you. Im glad to hear your server host is offering my mod as option. I look forward to helping you resolve your issue, and making this mod a unique and powerful mod for all to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazey Wayne Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Dirtyredz, Thanks for the help figuring out what I had done wrong. If people read this make sure you have this mod installed before you mine any asteroid it will make it much easier. Other wise you will need to go to each sector and and regen set a number to spawn. Mod is working well now that my error was found. Crazey Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyredz Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 To clarify when using the naturalspawm option, it will only maintain asteroids for those sectors at the time of the installation. If not using that option, regardless of how many asteroids available it regen to the default setting of 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidurian Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 i had a Strange issue with your mod installed together with MineCorp from NexusNull Once installing both the same time the Sector generator kinda crashes in game (without crashing the game) keeping it empty. i tackled the issue down on my own and found the problem: Yours and His Config are named the same. They clash with each other causing a problem. i dont know exactly why it does it but i got the stuff working again. Renaming your config file (and the table inside) to RAConfig amd changed that in every file of your mod made both usable again. Sorry for my sometimes poor english. german here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyredz Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Interesting I have not heard any report of this. I have however experienced what your talking about several times. Ill look into the issue asap and see what can be done. Obviously as you have said changing the config was all what was needed. This actually won't be any issue when the next game update comes out since koon is working on namespacing the files allowing for separation. Don't worry im not going to say we should wait. Ill get the config fix asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lendarker Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Love this mod. However, is there a toggle to only regenerate true mineable asteroids, and not spawn empty ones along with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
