Path of Hesperus

Arexack_Heretic · Post by **Arexack_Heretic** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 2:34 pm

A (set of) missionscript I've been messing with lately.
For those who like to pick code apart.
This is still embryonic as in barely any testing done, but it's a big baby already.

The idea is to follow in the pawprints of Captain hesperus and sell trumbles to valued clients.

A major obstacle still is understanding java-script as I want to be able to affect/read the number of trumbles on-board the playership.
-As of this writing, the trumbleChecker.js script is still not functioning.

At first I had written the main body of the script completely in JS, however writing a missionscript seems to be much easier in plist format. (for now.)
So yesterday I wrote the entire thing again, but in plist.
Eventually I decided to split it up into several partial scripts, and a worldscripts-file.

Currently I use an additional test-script that forces some variables, that rely on the JS-part to be set.

-trumblecheck_farmer.js
: trumblecheck trumbleCount +
: sets customCargo, rewards for burning trumbs.
-trumblepusher.plist
: asks player to make a lifechoice when loaded with trumbes.
-life_of_a_trumble_salesperson.plist
: if the player has succumbed to the darkside ,
: asks to push a trumble at stations. /rinse, repeat.
-trumble_force
: Brute force setting of mission_variables because I'm a fuckup with JS.

Next posts: buggered code.

first time I really try to do a missionscreen based script,
(excepting GetHesperus as I never got to testing that)
there's bound to be lots of misplaced clearmissionscreens etc.

at the moment I'm stuck in :
comparing "GUI_SCREEN_CONTRACTS" (NSConstantString) to "GUI_SCREEN_MARKET" (GSMutableString)

the market screen seems invisible, while the contracts scren is not.
I wanted to use a specific GUI screen to trigger the missionscreen, in order to avoid clashes with mission that splash the mission-screen on docking.
The trade screen seemed appropriate as you are supposed to have a hold full of trumboids, so little need to use that screen otherwise....maybe I should try using the MANIFEST screen instead. or the contracts.
updated the wiki with the current GUIscreen_querryable states.

-The /n (or //n) in missiontexts does not seem to work. (for 1.69.1)

Eric's fix of just adding:-

"gui_screen_string oneof GUI_SCREEN_STATUS, GUI_SCREEN_EQUIP_SHIP, GUI_SCREEN_MARKET, GUI_SCREEN_SHORT_RANGE_CHART" as a condition to displaying the screen should do that.

Worked for me to stop Assassins clashing with Thargoid Wars. If Thargoid Wars bagged the mission screen by sending the player out to squash bugs, the assassins script waits until the screen is anything other than the mission screen (ie the player has seen the Thargoid Wars briefing and either picked up his medal, refused to go or been scambled.) In the event that the player launches, then the Assassins message is displayed when he docks after the battle.

Arexack_Heretic · Post by **Arexack_Heretic** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 5:24 pm

Yeah, that was what I was trying for.
The problem was that GUI_SCREEN_MARKET is broken, it works fine with MANIFEST.

I made a mistake in the choice processing though...stuck in LIFECHOICE_OFFERED....gotta fix that now.

Might be because I put the set:mission_ OFFERED after the choice...

added Erik's missionscreen-conflicsavoidance missiion variable.
/cleaning out new typos.
/weeding out redundant clearMissionScreen methods etc.
/accidentally had an always valid condition through uncarefull else usage.
/Got past the OFFER and am now a PUSHER.
/more tyos introduced
/extra resets for Eriks variable.
/trumple pusher part looks good now.
/switched to pseudoFixedD100_number as d100_number is rerolled each time the script is tickled. Now I need to jump to get progression.

///bug1: UseSpecialCargo does not prevent scooping cargo, this may be related to the can-scoop-more-than-cargospace bug.
///bug2: UsedSpecialCargo dissapeared in a savegame, need to check:\
//edit: the special cargo is not saved to the savefile. makes sense given its origin. There would be no saving possible.
/fixed vanishing cargo with workaround. added descriptions.

Yes, I can confirm that, as mentioned elsewhere (just don't remember why) GUI_SCREEN_MARKET is one of the broken ones. So it also makes no sense in Eric's code.

Ahruman had put a list of the working gui_screen_strings somewhere in a thread, and I had added the ones working and not working for me to that. I think you should be able to find that with a quick search.

This should start with your name or a similar tag for uniqueness. JavaScript does not qualify. ;-)

Scripts do not run (that is, there is not tickle event and as such no legacy script running) on the Market screen, because popping up a mission screen when the player is in the middle of pressing enter to buy/sell stuff would be annoying.

Arexack_Heretic · Post by **Arexack_Heretic** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 12:34 pm

/scriptname fixed.
/trumblepusher altered to compensate for use of specialcargo.[/]
/wrote small JS script to make speacial cargo not go away.
/should also remove any scooped cargo.

That feature of the market sceen might be exploited in some way?
Maybe to avoid immediate missionscreen 'pop-ups' (in JS otherwise it will be too late.)
nah. switching to the marketscreen does not matter, you'd be better of just triggering your-mission-before-thargoidwars.js missionscreen directly.
