@RAID_HOOOT

Hello, apologies for late reply.

I've looked at "Category -> C_Economy -> E_Supply Demand.lua" but have no idea what that character is, doesn't seem to be there?
Could it be an encoding artifact from a text editor?
Lua files have used cp1250 encoding, which does not cover Cyrillic.
( My mistake for not using UTF )

The "%2%%3%%4%%5%%6%%7%%1%" name is something I've seen, but have no idea why and where is that name coming from.

As for tags in rarity field. Tags won't work as filters without # special characters. Not sure if those should be translated at all?

Mixing numeric values and texts, that is auto generated from data.
To be fair, I've never done localization support, so there's probably a lot of work to be done to fix this.
I'm not modding anymore, so most likely wont have time to fix this.

@LM13
Please correct these errors and exclude special characters in the texts.
I also ask you to separate the text fields from the values, if possible, because if you add a numeric value to the text field, then for localization it is necessary to specify the entire text and value as the msgid.

@LM13
Hi, I'm from Russia and decided to fix and expand the localization of the mod, because not everything was done to the end.
I found two bugs and problems in the text inside the mods.
Mod "Xavorion: eXtended Scripting Framework" -> data -> scripts -> Encyclopedia -> Category -> C_Economy -> E_Supply Demand.lua
line 15 and 19 have the characters "�", which are not displayed in the game, and thus do not allow localization of these lines
There are similar references elsewhere in the encyclopedia.

I don't know which specific mod and file the bug is in, but some weapons have a normal name instead. "%2%%3%%4%%5%%6%%7%%1%", and in the rarity field there is a part of its name, for example, "Reconstruction Beam".
And similarly to the above, it happens that in the "rarities" field of the enhancement module, its tags are written, for example, "#GYRO" or "#ENERGY #BATTERY".

@SuperWhiteGuy

Thanks :) Still, took longer than I expected.
Hope there are no new bugs this time.

Thank you for your swift updates. It was a little disappointing when it broke on me after the game updated. Big fan of your work here.

@LM13 I'm pretty early in my modding adventures. I haven't identified a specific class from your library that I'd like to use yet, nor anything I could contribute to your code, so I won't push you to publish this any time soon. I expect that as I start to work on integrating my functionalities with Xavorion, I'll identify cool things from this library that I'd like to use and possibly extend.

One thing I see already that I'll probably use, but might have to adapt on my end a bit, is your Plugin system (e.g. XAIComponent). It's amusing to be once again approaching an entity logic plugin system in a space game, when I did the same thing 8 years ago for Space Engineers - https://github.com/zrisher/SEGarden/blob/master/Logic/UpdateManager.cs .

This is a much better game, and a better modding environment, so I'm excited.

Thanks again!

Thank you for your reply and hard work.

@은신헌터

I'll make a separate mod after Class Upgrades gets released, to allow randomized shops with restock mod. It will be added to "Optional Tweaks" collection at main mod page - as all other XT series tweaks.

There were others asking for that too, so It's probably best for me to do it.

Thank you for your response.
I have 2 questions

First one.
Can you tell me the exact meaning of replace _EntityiIDString with shop seed string?

local _EntityIDString = Entity().id.string
local _SeedString = _EntityIDString .. "CargoUpgrades"

I replaced the _EntityIDString in these two lines with the shop seed string, but the tab for that item in the shop disappeared.

Do I need to find and enter the value of the shop seed string instead of just typing "shop seed string"?

If so, how do I get that value?
I looked in [shop.lua] in [\Avorion\data\scripts\lib] but couldn't find anything relevant.

Secondly.
If I replace it with shop seed string, will the shop items become 'completely random' by any chance?
I'm a big fan of the segmentation of equipment for sale by station, like mining related equipment at the materials station and repair equipment at the repair station.
However, it would be a bit disappointing if this resulted in completely different equipment.

@은신헌터

Extended shops have station-uniqe selection of items, it's not random. Rift shops are unchanged and should work.

It can be modded, but requires modification of all extended shop files:

Xavorion-SectorGenerator/data/scripts/Merchant/*

in function .shop:addItems()

there a stable random init:

local _EntityIDString = Entity().id.string
local _X, _Y = Sector():getCoordinates()
local _SeedString = _EntityIDString .. "CargoUpgrades"
local _Seed = IGalaxy.GetSectorSeedForProperty( _X, _Y, _SeedString )

-- Stable random - make all shops offer same wares, always
local _Generator = UpgradeGenerator( _Seed )
local _RNG = IGalaxy.GetSectorSeededRNG( _X, _Y, _SeedString )


All you need to do is replace _EntityiIDString with shop seed string ( which is rolled by Shop Restock mod if I remember correctly ).

New Class Upgrades module will modify ALL of those shops really soon btw.

@DrChocolate

Thanks, glad anyone was crazy enough to look at the code ;D

I've only considered publishing on git. There wasn't much reason for it so all I have is local repository for personal use.

I could post it at some point, but that would take some time and cleaning up.

That error in logs is a typo - missing include path in AI plugin. Fix will be pushed with new update soon.

File in question seems to be "BasicAI.lua" with missing line

package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/Config/?.lua"

I want to use Shop Restock mod, but it is not compatible with this mod.
Pressing Restock will only change the grade and material of the equipment in the discount item.

However, vanilla stores have restock operations, such as vendors and Rift-affiliated stations.

Therefore, I would like to modify Shop Restock mod, but I would like to know what difference is there between store stations and vanilla in this mod, so that they are incompatible.

@LM13 I've finally started looking into Avorion modding, and I'm so glad to see a lot of excellent utilities in this workshop item. In my experience, this is the most fully-featured utility library out there right now. A couple questions:

* Do you have this posted on github somewhere? We can review the code locally, but if I wanted to discuss it or raise a PR, it would be nice to have it somewhere the community can contribute.

* It seems from the description that this is intended to stand on its own, but if I run this item without 2923179923 I get the following error spammed in the logs: https://pastebin.com/QB9PDf70

@Mas

Thank you. Glad it works :)

thank you LM13, I've not tried Avorion for years, but the mods you have out brought me back into and even though im just in the starting faction region i am have a blast with it!

Yeah, there's a lot that could use some attention, but I dropped the ideas other than sector generation and combat.
That turned out to be much more work than I thought.

For sectors, it's an idea from 1.3.8 alpha with new, but simplified versions of features that I had to abandon, but combat...
that is something I'd really like to get some feedback on after "release".
I'm not sure, but it could be the largest gameplay change from all other stuff.
Also, not sure how it's going to feel like for others. ( Uh, yeah, sounds convincing ;D )

These are really awesome news! In my opinion the amount of different sector types really needs more attention. I am also curious about the changes that you came up with for combat and more different stations.

@Cy

Hello :)

Almost there, both of those modules.

Mostly done, but requires some bugfixing, balancing and implementing few minor missing features.
I've mentioned few times that it's "few weeks", but that stage really tends to stretch.

It is in no shape to release for public tests just yet, but I'm 100% sure it will be by the end of this month.
I need to take a break anyway, but I really want to upload something that is at least playable.

By the way, thanks for asking :)

hi LM13, this looks really fun. I am wondering what the current status of sectors eXtended and Combat eXtended is. Those sound like a lot of fun. Any idea when they might roughly be done?

Update #2:

- [Script] Added custom System Upgrades support
- [Script] Added upgrade framework with sub-types support
- [Script] Added simpler way of adding upgrades and properties
