Hi,

So the Generated Faction Leader names seems to be generated different to standard pawns.

In the Faction Def the code

Code Select Expand

<pawnNameMaker>NAMERFILES</pawnNameMaker>

This only seems to apply to other Pawns generated but not the Faction leader? is there a way to control the faction leader name in Custom factions?

So when i was looking into the orbital strike feature found this in the "ethereal_orbitstrikes.xml" file saw the colour code and was surprised by it, though i would ask the question on what it is doing.

Hello,

Could someone explain this four digit color code?

<color>(255, 77, 77, 242)</color>

I understand the 3 digit ones as RGB decimal, but i don't understand what the four decimal digit above come from? Sorry bit of a newbie where color codes are concerned?

Could someone point me to an online tool for this perhaps?

Updated for B18 and fixed links..

Is it possible to increase the capacity of the Transport Pod in XML?

So i cannot see anything in the XML to do this, and i assume this is a DLL type thing?

Anybody know? Thanks in Advance...

Worked Perfectly... Thanks.

Mrofa... Thank you... will give it a try.

So i have a small issue, i have created some custom items as floor decorations that can be made using any leather/material.

However when the items are created they seem to have a shader over the top of them altering the colours slightly, and i cannot fathom why, as i want them to look just like the texture being used without any colour overlay..

How can i stop this?

Here is my code incase you need to see..

Can anybody tell me how i can force a pawn to use a new joy item i created to test its function?

I'm creating a few of them and have used the -20 joy tool but they never use the Joy items usually go stargaze or something, if there a way to force them to use a particular joy item in the debug mode?

ok thought so..

I might look into this in C# to use to learn, anywhere you would suggest to start?

So wondered if there is a way to create damage by passing through an object? say something like barb / razer wire using standard xml editing?

A17 Updated for all my Mods...

A few changes please see the change log.

I have also left links to the Legacy A16 mod for those that want them.

I don't usually monitor this thread that much, but feel free to post bugs here as i will actively check at least one a day for a week to squish any A17 bugs in my mods.

Thanks for the Info, and personally i prefer the A16 release as is rather than not..

As for my own mod which has alot of research options, I just offset my research to start on x-20 onward which made it a little more tidy. Mods with little or not research should be fine auto placing within the first 20 X columns.

For Y though the limit is basically 5 because there is not scroll down feature, though in reality just having a scroll down feature to say 50-Y would likely allow auto-placement to be fine for people running quote a few mods. Unfortunately adding a scroll down to the window is beyond my expertise as i assume it need assemblies?

@Skallywag, there is def an issue, not sure if a bug or a feature. If a person has enough Mods and those mods dont use the X,Y co-ords or too many use the same X-Y co-ords then eventually some items in the research tree will push off the bottom of the research screen.

As a work around you could use the DEV mode and click the complete all research button, this would at least give you all research, and let you play your current game?
