The Feudal States

[DGill]

I'd also like to try it out, as feudal states is one of my most played oxp's, the estate management is a welcome addition!

Ok, I've sent you a PM with the links. Any problems give me a shout.

There's a small problem with the shipdata.plist file from the Feudal_States_Extended.oxp. Some of the ship keys are duplicates from Dictators and then create problems with spawning.

Here's and adjusted shipdata.plist which should clear up the issue.

Thank you, I was not aware of the issue.

The version of Feudal_States_Extended you have has lots of scripting errors. I have updated and corrected most of the ones I'm aware of but still two to sort out.

Regarding planetfall 2 compatibility I have the script in feudal-mission.js

(missionVariables.feudal_Enfeoff_estate is true if the player has been awarded an estate to manage.)

The code seems to works fine probably because the feudal_states_extended loads after Feudal_PlanetFall2.


Is that method OK or is there a correct way of doing it?

[Cholmondely]

Any problems give me a shout.

I've a horrrrrrrendously long, edited descriptions.plist to send to you for Extended (mostly to make it AppleMac friendly). Too long to fit on here without divvying it up. (I've yet to marmalise Tibecea for you, sorry!)

And, two issues.

i) The P.A.D. is not quite working on my AppleMac. I appear thrice - twice as myself (in Player Data and under Persons 1/2) and once as "Commander Jameson" with all the feudal trimmings under Persons 2/2



ii) Might it be possible to change things on the docked F4 screen?

On landing at the spaceport at Onarmala I found three entries under "Contracts" - Royal Bureau of the Privy Council, Royal Court Offices and Royal Palace Administration Office. Ditto at the Royal Hunting Lodge, again under "Contracts" - Royal Hunting Lodge, Royal Lodge Challenge and Royal Tournament.

But
(i) I don't think that these have anything to do with vulgar "Contracts"
and
(ii) I feel that they should not all be together - the Royal Court Offices and the Royal Palace Administration Offices are not at the Spaceport, but at the Royal Palace.

Perhaps under "Activity"? (like "Disembark from your ship", "Log onto BBS", "Visit the station bar" etc.) - see https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/F4_pa ... nterfaces)




I've also one or two suggestions for the flitter screens. Which look absolutely superb, by the way!

From PlanetFall2's point of view, as long as the overrides have been added in startUp, everything should be fine.

To get your overrides to happen in the right order, you could do the following:
Add this line of code to the end of the startUp function in "Feudal_PlanetFall2"

Code: Select all

    delete this.startUp;

(I'll add it to my copy as well, so it will be included in future releases).

Then in the startUp function in "feudal-mission.js", add these lines at the top of the function:

Code: Select all

    if (worldScripts.Feudal_PlanetFall2.startUp) {
    	// force the startUp function to execute first
    	worldScripts.Feudal_PlanetFall2.startUp();
    }

Now it doesn't matter which function is called first. If your mission script runs first, it will force-execute the Feudal_PlanetFall2 script to run, which will then autodelete itself and so won't be run twice by the normal startUp processing. If Feudal_PlanetFall2 runs first, it will auto-delete itself after running, so when feudal-mission runs there won't be a startUp script to run, so it will just continue on anyway.

i) The P.A.D. is not quite working on my AppleMac. I appear thrice - twice as myself (in Player Data and under Persons 1/2) and once as "Commander Jameson" with all the feudal trimmings under Persons 2/2

On my PC I get similar for P.A.D. Once under the GALCOP category - presumably related to GALCOP Missions
and twice under the PERSONS category the first entry seems generic then my added feudal systems player data. I presume if some one else has an oxp that uses P.A.D. it will also put info in the PERSONS category confusing the issue even further.

The problem seems to be how P.A.D. is coded but it is too complicated for me to fathom.
It would be nice if one could define a seperate categories so each oxp (such as Feudal States) could have their own place to display data. It may have such capability - I don't know.

phkb recently added a new category to P.A.D.for storing and displaying GNN notices perhaps he could advise if anything can be done to improve the situation.

To get your overrides to happen in the right order, you could do the following:

Thank you - I've made the changes suggested.

But
(i) I don't think that these have anything to do with vulgar "Contracts"
and
(ii) I feel that they should not all be together - the Royal Court Offices and the Royal Palace Administration Offices are not at the Spaceport, but at the Royal Palace.

Ok, I've moved things around a bit. Is this what you are suggesting:

[Cholmondely]

Ok, I've moved things around a bit. Is this what you are suggesting:

1) As previously adumbrated, I'd add in "Visit" just before "Royal Court Offices".

Might it make more sense to leave out the description?

How would I know any of that? What about just replacing it with "Office in the Spaceport Lobby"?

2) I do like the second screen - nice!

3) Descriptions.plist for "Enhanced"

Code: Select all

line 4 (towards the end) - Marauders (not Maruaders) !
lines 578 & 579 each need a comma at the end
lines 605, 609, 615, 619 ditto
lines 623, 627, 631 ditto
lines 638, 641, 644 ditto
lines 647, 650, 653 ditto
lines 656, 666 ditto
lines 670, 674, 678 ditto
lines 682, 686, 690 ditto
lines 694, 698, 702 ditto
lines 705, 708, 711 ditto
lines 714, 717, 720 ditto
lines 723, 726, 729 ditto
lines 732, 735, 738 ditto
lines 741, 744, 747 ditto
lines 750, 753, 757 ditto
lines 761, 765. 769 ditto
lines 773, 777, 781 ditto

I'm sure you will recognise the pattern. That, blessedly, seems to be it (unless I've a mistake in the above... - but I did double-check the line numbers)

I've not worked out how to compare files in SubEthaEdit or Atom - just in Visual Studio Code.
I've really only found that JSLint (https://www.jslint.com/) is good for linting Javascript. (And I forget which is my favoured Openstep .plist linter. But I'll need to work it out again for your Tibecea!)

[DGill]

3) Descriptions.plist for "Enhanced"

You mention commas at the end of lines 578 & 579. does the comma go after the semicolon on line 579?

578 "You're too good for me - I give in!",
579 );,

Strange, I'm running 1.80 and the Prinz are a pushover. I guess it's about tactics...

The duel starts at some ~5 km distance, so if you hit injectors the moment he goes hostile, the Prinz won't have time to land significant damage before you get to close range. And AI isn't smart enough to cut throttle for turning, and doesn't have injectors, so the speed and turning advantage of Prinz compared to Cobby III mean nothing.

There's a new version of Feudal States if you are interested. Be interesting to have your feedback on it.
