[MOD]Custom Factions Mod[Mod + Resource]

LogicSocket · February 26, 2017

I have created a custom factions mod. This is also a modders resource for those who want to

create their own factions.

I created 8 new factions based on the old Starflight universe.

The factions are:

Velox - peaceful

Thrynn - peaceful

Elowan - peaceful

Dweenle - peaceful

Gazurtoid - hostile

Spemin - hostile

Tandelou - peaceful

Humna Humna - peaceful

To see more about these races read here:

To find these new factions simply explore green dots on the map. The new factions will generally be connected to

standard vanilla sectors.

Example of New faction in game:

Notes to those who want to use this as a template for their own factions:

There are two parts to this:

#1: sectorspecifics.lua where you will add your new faction colony templates

#2: your new faction colony file that will go in sectors folder.

simply examine the files in my mod download to see the specifics of how it is done.

if you have any questions let me know i'll be glad to answer.

This is great! I was hoping someone would make a mod like this. Going to read through the lua when I get home tonight, hopefully I can have my ideal Star Wars vs Star Trek vs etc. universe that I've always dreamed of!

confused on how i would add this very new to this kind of modding

GrandMasterK:

download the file, unzip/unrar somewhere drag the data folder onto your steamapps>common>avorion folder and merge.

When I first installed the factions I could get it working by changing the capitals of Spemincolony but now I don't seem to get it working anymore so could you please have a look at it?

Edit:

I remembered the changes I made, now that I think of it it is probably due to the script calling "Spemincolony.lua" while the file is "spemincolony.lua".

After changing that an error came for speminsector and dweenlebreeder, I commented those out and now the map is working again.

It appears that there is no file for the dweenle breeders and speminsector is probably double there since there is already Spemincolony.

Hey there Devious,

can you please try the attached and see if it fixes your issues? Apologies for the bugs.

Hello.

Is it possible to lock the Faction in one System? I wan't to have one of the Factions in only ONE System. There the faction should build all relevant, own stations like Shipyard, Upgradefacility, Research-Station ... and all you need. Is it possible somehow?

EDIT: oh .. and i wan't to make it friendly to Players of my choice. :p

My Plan: The Faction should be something like a housekeeper. They should be friendly to Mod and Admins, but enemie to all else Players. For that i already had modified the script.

        faction.initialRelations = -100000
        faction.initialRelationsToPlayer = -100000
        faction.staticRelationsToPlayers = true

Devious · March 28, 2017

The fix indeed worked :)

One thing we noticed is that the new factions appear randomly through normal factions their territory instead of having their own.

We found one vanilla faction that had all the custom factions spawning in it's territory, each custom faction with just one sector.

Midnightar · March 29, 2017

Is there a way for this mod to allow you to insert your own ships into the custom factions to use?

Andy-Blackknight · March 29, 2017

können spieler bei dem mod auch fraktionen erstellen?

wenn ja wäre cool

Servermod oder server und client mod?

funktioniert es auch bei beta?
