[MOD] NoNeutralCore

[Dirtyredz]

No Neutral Core

 

This mode stops Neutral Zones from generating. (prior to that sectors discovery)

It is advised to add this mod prior to players entering the core.

 

The distance modification can be changed by changing the number 150 to any value you would like to measure from the center:

 

   

if self.templates[i].path == 'sectors/neutralzone' and distanceFromCenter < 150 then

   

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

You have two choices:

A). Download and drag and drop the data folder into the Avorion directory.

    This option is NOT advised for servers with multiple mods, as replacing the sectorspecifics.lua file will revert other mods changes to this file

      Clients are not required to have this file when playing on a server.

 

B). Edit your current SectorSpecifics.lua file and change/add these lines of code:

    Use the Downloaded file or view the github source to identify the precise location inside sectorspecifics.lua you need to change.

 

     

    --self.generationTemplate = self.templates[i]
    --Commented out by Dirtyredz | David McClain

    --Begin Added by - Dirtyredz | David McClain
    local distanceFromCenter = length(vec2(x,y))
    if self.templates[i].path == 'sectors/neutralzone' and distanceFromCenter < 150 then
        print('Sector is set to a neutralZone and inside the core, Reverting to a Colony sector....')
        self.generationTemplate = self.templates[1]
    else
        self.generationTemplate = self.templates[i]
    end

Not many reactions, yet I consider this mod to be VITAL for some MP servers, meant to be hardcore in the way that people are more threatening than pirates!

 

For example, the excellent mod regenerative asteroid mod you made, it's way more interesting (Imo) to have disputes and large scale deadly battles for potentially-infinite-resources zones, than just "farmlands" where you just battle to tag asteroid before other players!

 

I just hope you'll keep updating this mod!

[Dirtyredz]

Yeah made it for our mp server specifically. we had hoards of players setting up in neutral zones, to the point that the neutral zones were so packed they were causing severe lag. much better in our opinion to force them to setup outside the core and jump in and farm when they need to.

 

Ive got plans to continue developing for this game, most of my time goes into my server manager and my server. If you have any ideas for any of my mods, let me know in there respective forums.  Maybe i can add those features with some configs or what now to allow you to style it to what ya need.

Hmmm.... Creating an "avid agressiv miner" option, like a pirate attack, but from a normal factions, with military ships and miners, trying to take over some of the zones that are ressource regenerative but not neutral.

 

That way, you can't just hop into a regen-sector when server is empty and mine to your heart content with just a tinyminy miner ship!

 

That way, players would have to count on their alliance to take over a full sector, (creating station, patroling AI squads, ect), to defend their members when they mine, without having the player having to warp in with an armada by himself (causing probably way more lag), and making Alliances even more important in the next update, adding a cool gameplay feature!

 

A simple check with a customized event script "if regen=>check if neutral => if not => launch factionattackonshipexaustionpipepoundingmuchwow.lua every 15-30minutes" and the combination of both mods make a whole new sense!
