Ah, yeah, I missed a spot.

On around line 88 you should see something like this:

Code: Select all

        this.$assassinFrequencyFactor = 1;

Add the following line directly underneath:

Code: Select all

        this.$traderFrequencyFactor = 1;

And see how that goes.

Works! Thanks amigo, as always.

Try this:

Tried these but the populator nuked the system, it was like flying through a ghost system. Checked the log and saw that nothing had spawned but asteroids, the buoy, and the galcop. Checked the in game config and got this:

*Daily minor request: I'm running Ngalo's Configuration Populator and I'm looking for some places I can increase trader spawn. I think I just want more traders in my ooniverse, both a more frequent flow in/out if possible AND more spawning initially and overall, maybe 50%-100% more. I want my lanes ...

Just found out about this setting: There is also the not very well known reaction_time ship property (ship.reactionTime for the JS equivalent), which defaults to 1.5 sec. This is the time an NPC will need to make a decision when tracking its target. Reduce that enough and your NPCs get superhuman r...

Maestro: is this simply a case of the javascript AI's "trumping" the AI.plists? That was my first conclusion. The problem with the conclusion was that scripts referenced by the NPC ships alone were not accounting for all observable behavior. I am aware that this is my first day lol. Speak...

It almost seems like AI.plist files don't work anymore: AI.plist fighting routines that used to work fine...act completely broken. I think this is in fact the case. I've been prying and jimmying the AI plists and scripts on and off for a day and a bit now and I conclude that pirateAI.plist at least...

In hindsight, it's probably better to only do the setParameter for oolite_flag_behaviourLogging on a single ship using the debug console. What you're probably seeing is the AI list from *every* freighter in the system. I don't have the exact code to paste in, but I'll track it down tomorrow if some...

It almost seems like AI.plist files don't work anymore: AI.plist fighting routines that used to work fine...act completely broken. New traders arrive at a system...and take off in a random direction instead of heading towards either the sun or planet/main station. AI.js files seem to work, but not ...

My suggestion was relevant to the second point I think in that a weaker player requires less adversaries for the same challenge. As long as lasers weren't also weakened then combats would take less time as a result. The reason this was originally (and still is) an AI problem and not a specs problem...

Actually no, that isn't just what I wanted. That was half of it. What I really wanted was for the universe to feel as dangerous as the lore and the mechanisms would warrant. If piracy is really so out of control as to be present with some success even in commy and demmy systems, then pirates are eit...

I am currently scarecly surviving anarchies and feudals about 30% of the time I visit them. Scarcely surviving is exactly what I wanted. By that I mean I am getting hull damage and/or nearly running out of fuel. I am running Astrobe's missile OXP where all missiles are ecm resistant, so it is never ...

I'm over a year into my experimental overhaul to rebalance Oolite for myself which is to say: increase danger and difficulty of AI. Just this month I have taken it into overdrive, and thankfully, it's starting to get hard to survive! I made good on my dream to give Qbombs and jammers and cloaks abro...

holy smokes
we're pushing new levels of gorgeous here

How easy is it to code the randomization of such a dockable as a replacement to a normal main Cori? Like, any given cori system has say a 1/100 chance of this, and by the next exit and return it's back to normal? Is that an easy write up or a big hassle? Also the obvious effect would be pricing. Off...

You guys are always outdoing yourselves, that is amazing. Isn't the most obvious idea that this is the pirate-overtaken Anarchy GalCop that everyone has been dreaming about for the last decade? Why not? EDIT: I mean they clearly took it by force, most anarchy GalCops are hanging on by a thread and c...
