Yeah, I'm currently dead, sorry for inconvenience. I'm awaiting for some necromancer to raise my corpse or something.

Using this mod you can't as of now. But overall it is possible: you need to create Weapon, then create TurretTemplate and add weapons to it. From TurretTemplate you can create InventoryTurret and then, finally, add it to your inventory.

What you can look for are keywords and server/client-only objects (e.g. GUI Elements for Client, onServer() or onClient() statements, updateClient(), updateServer(), invoking functions on client/server, using server-only methods on common objects and so on). Check API documentation to find those. Another thing is to check what script is attached to: Entity, Player, Upgrade, command script etc. Actually I would risk saying that most of the scripts you will find are server-side, but you really need to watch for invoking and GUI/display related stuff (so, it's not actually most of them, kek). Spend some time with docs and read some scripts you should get it in no time.

_t is nil.

Localization files are in /data/localization/ (from Avorion's root dir). They use PO file format. Magic behind %_t is made true in /data/scripts/lib/stringutility.lua. Lines from 17 to 46 inclusive. Additionally there are comments with explanation. Pretty much: __mod (modulo, hence %) of Strings' metatable is set to interp from stringutility. Localization happens in GetLocalizedString global function (see docs). It is a valid lua code.

I can't maintain list in this thread by myself. I can't give someone permissions to edit original post either. But I can do this and then see what happens next: [color=white][b]Mod:[/b][/color] [color=green]MineCorp[/color] [color=white][b]Desc:[/b][/color] So what does this mod do? Well, it adds an abandoned station into the game, which when you refurbish it gives you free resources for life.

Unpinning due to lack of activity.

If you want to access beta version and use manager at the same time it would be the best to change line 83 from: $STEAM_DIR/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ${INSTALL_DIR} +app_update ${APPID} validate +quit to: $STEAM_DIR/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ${INSTALL_DIR} +app_update ${APPID} -beta beta validate +quit I'm planning to finally add that to config section but I still don't have time to do it the way I want.

The problem is pretty simple and it lays in the dot and the way the functions are selected. They are selected by name - you give function name that should be invoked to invokeServerFunction. You can use wrapper to use it: -- lib/cmd/foo.lua local M = {} function M.request (script) invokeServerFunction(script) end function M.print () print("M.print") end return M -- player/cmd/foo.lua m = require "data.scripts.lib.cmd.foo" wrapped = m.print function initialize () if onClient() then m.request("wrapped") end end It should be also possible to unpack module into wrapper functions, or just set global functions in required file (what's the point of module then, though, heh), or some other, similar, solutions. If we could get the function that is called when the invoke request comes, then it would be pretty simple to change its behaviour to properly follow tables. Not suggesting anything, cough.

It is impossible for players to use command without having permissions for them set in admin.xml. At least it was the case the last time I checked (week or so). If you really want to use selected ones: copy lib/cmd/* (everything), commands/?.lua (selected), player/cmd/?.lua (selected if exists; for /whereis -> whereis.lua AND tellposition.lua). Getting everything from lib will make it easier and you won't worry that you will break commands.

I'm not sure what are you asking about but it goes pretty much the same way. First you need to get players or factions you want to edit relations, then you modify them. local a = Player(1) -- or faction local b = Faction(2) -- or player -- You can get these object in any way you want! Just make sure they are at least of Faction type. Galaxy():setFactionRelations(a, b, 11111) -- or one liner: Galaxy():setFactionRelations(Faction(5), Faction(6), 42) Write function that does that or put it wherever you like - in command script, entity, sector script etc. Then just call it.

This relation is set in scripts/server/factions.lua in function initializePlayer, lines 104-108: -- make sure the player has an early ally local faction = Galaxy():getNearestFaction(home.x, home.y) faction:setValue("enemy_faction", -1) -- this faction doesn't participate in faction wars Galaxy():setFactionRelations(faction, player, 75000) player:setValue("start_ally", faction.index)

I know it is solved, but I would like to add one more thing: Default start resources are handled by scripts/server/factions.lua (lines 112-118): if server.difficulty == Difficulty.Beginner then player:receive(40000, 5000) elseif server.difficulty == Difficulty.Easy then player:receive(20000, 2000) else player:receive(10000) end

It is possible if you modify lib/cmd/upgrades.lua. I didn't add it on default because they are lore items. I'm not sure if this is a good place for this? http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,830.msg8203.html#msg8203 Sorry for just linking it. It should be changed a little bit now because of the new version of /sethome, but the template (if statement and price) for paying is the same. Repair is their internal name. It has been changed in the new release - now it is possible to use both "Mechanic" (mec, mecha, Mech etc.) or "Repair" (or variation). New commands added: /fighter and /agoods, more in first post.

Change line 83 from: $STEAM_DIR/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ${INSTALL_DIR} +app_update ${APPID} validate +quit to: $STEAM_DIR/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ${INSTALL_DIR} +app_update ${APPID} -beta beta validate +quit
