Greetings.  Me again.  ( I may as well start living in this forum.  )

My hard drive recently died, and I switched over to a duo-boot system.  ( A split SSD for my OS and a 1TB HD for my main storage system. )  And it seems to have broken my mods.

My game ( Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, through Steam. ) is stored on the 1TB ( E:/ ) while my my main OS ( Including C:/Users/X/My Documents/My Games/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion/Rebellion 1.82 ) is on the SSD.

I've made a few mods that change research, mainly the ability to research it multiple times ( I've tried to change Mass Transcendence and Advent armor, among other things. ) and when I go to the mod menu to enable it gives me a checksum indicating that the mod is, in fact, working.

However, when I load the game up itself, it's still showing the same level limits, as if the mod didn't effect the game.  Can anyone think of why this might be, and provide any tips on how to get my mods to work?

Hey Unikraken here from Sins of the Prophets, we're currently working on our faction economy and I'm curious if anyone has any data-gathering techniques for that kind of thing that can speed up how we're able to visualize what's going on?

I'm having trouble making a new ability. My aim is for it to fire a missile just as if it were firing as a normal weapon of this kind. I would like to combine the control and cost of an ability with firing such a weapon.

In the past I have done this by using ApplyBuffToTargetWithTravel. However this makes the missile fire regardless of the relative position of the target ignoring the weapon bank directions front, back, left right.

To overcome this I have tried to combine this with ApplyBuffToTargetsInDirectionalCone. So in the ability.entity I set buffInstantActionType to ApplyBuffToTargetsInDirectionalCone and make it play a buff.entity with ApplyBuffToTargetWithTravelNoFilterNoRange To make it fire at ships within the weapon bank direction.

Unfortunately, it does not work. It will consume antimatter for firing but I can't get a buff.entity with ApplyBuffToTargetWithTravelNoFilterNoRange to be triggered by ApplyBuffToTargetsInDirectionalCone.

Is this simply not possible or am I doing something wrong?

Well ApplyBuffToTargetsInDirectionalCone can do any one of the four banks, but it applies it to all targets in the cone.
I dunno if you can use it to trigger other buffs to simulate weapons fire though.

That is what I was trying to say. ApplyBuffToTarget seems to only refer to the original target that the ability was cast on. ApplybuffToTargetsInDirectionalCone was programmed to place a buff on targets and that is it, it does not have the ability to provide ApplyBuffToTarget with a different valid target.

man that is some buff ballet going on there lol

This is a fine idea and I have just tried it. Unfortunately, it still wont trigger. It seems that the sequence stops with ApplyBuffToTargetsInDirectionalCone just as GoaFan said it would.

Thanks for trying to help. I think I will try and create an ability that enhances the firing of the missile instead rather than firing it directly as a compromise solution.

Hello guys!

Does anyone knows why AbilityMicroPhaseJump with needsToFaceTarget TRUE setting, is ends up with turning the ship but not to face the target location rather broad side and then its jump.

I relay would want to create a sort jump capability for my frigates, but the AbilityMicroPhaseJump behaves such a silly way, by tossing the ships trough space, while they are having every kind of facing.

My question is why would any ability set needsToFaceTarget TRUE, casts itself with the ship using broad side stance?

Interestingly when needsToFaceTarget  is set to false (only in the case of AbilityMicroPhaseJump ), the ship will cast the ability immediately, while when needsToFaceTarget is set to true the ship will perform a turning maneuver until it achieves the broadside stance.

I belive the "ApplyArbitraryTargettedBuffToSelf" is buggy or rather the needsToFaceTarget True part of this "method" gets the wrong data.

Simply put it is a bug. And since there is no other method which takes ArbitraryTarget as a "parameter" (targeting space and not a ship or other fix entity), therefore i dont have a substitute way to this jumping to one place to another facing toward the damn place, where i want to jump!!!

Unless anyone else have a better way to do it

The quoting thing seems to be affecting the whole forum at the moment
