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

[darkconsole]

ABOUT

 

This mod will help you adjust how often you get attacked by pirates/aliens. More details than you care to know, as well as installation instructions are on the main mod page.

 

• Main Page URL: https://github.com/darkconsole/avorion-event-balance
  
• Install Scope: Server Side Only (Unless you want it in SP)
  

 

WHAT IT DOES

 

[*]Increase the delay between events. There is no reason to get attacked by pirates every 10 minutes space is huge come on.

 

[*]Look at the average volume of ships in the sector. If a sector is beefy pirates will not attack they have no chance. If a sector is too small it is not even worth the fuel to attack.

 

[*]Even if your sector is too stronk, there is a chance the pirate is so drunk he is like whatevs and you get attacked anyway.

 

[*]Even if the sector is in the perfect range for attacking, space is huge come on, adds a flat chance that the pirates just wont find you.

 

 

FOR SERVER ADMINS

 

You WILL Need To Tune The Settings To Fit Your Server's Playstyle Mmmkay. The default values I have tuned for how I want MY server to be, which favours slightly smaller vessels than I build so that pirates leave me the hell alone lol.

Thanks for this mod!

[ErthParadine]

I've been using this on our public server SpaceBits for a couple days already...and the annoying pirates are finally gone; players can choose to pick a fight, instead of waiting for a recurring surge to slaughter. Thank you so much!

I've got this mod installed on my server and it works beautifully! Due to the small size of the fleet I'm running there haven't been any pirate or alien spawns.

 

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows... The headhunter spawn rate isn't controlled by this mod and has jumped to 1 spawn just about every 10-15 minutes. Nowhere near the constant "event every 3-5 minutes" that I had been dealing with previously, but almost as annoying and disruptive.

 

I haven't found the scheduler for the headhunter events yet, do you think that you'd be adding them to the next version of this mod?

[darkconsole]

i havent seen a headhunter in forever.

This is a mod i want but i dont know how to install it for single player and there was no instructions on the mod home page

Have you tried downloading and putting the files located in the data/scripts/ folder of the mod's main GitHub page into your own Steam installation directory of Avorion (usually something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Avorion\data\scripts\)?

 

I don't think there's different install methods for this mod whether you run on a client or a server.

 

Just pretend the instructions on that page that say "Server", say "Your Local Steam Installation Directory" instead - does that help?

[Jazz0411]

i have never installed any mods for this game so yes that helps

[Shrooblord]

Great! If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask. :)

[DeusWilk]

Thank you great person for fixing thing that annoys the f**k out of me.

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

[Malaras]

This still working? just bought the game yesterday.

[MainTango]

I'd like to know as well  :)

 

Edit: Not that I understand much about these things but what I see in eventscheduler.lua looks quite different from the vanilla file  :-\
