I guess because that would be a lot more work: You'd have to carve out a lot of each Monastery, and completely re-design the docking bay. Just imagine all the monk cells and office space that would be lost in the process!Diziet Sma wrote:So how come it hasn't occurred to anyone here that maybe the docking bay should be enlarged instead?
Would that make it a monsterstery?Tricky wrote:Build a bigger monastery!
Thanks Eric, i've re-uploaded the oxp as v1.43 with your recommended changes to the dock, the defense ships now do get angry a lot quickerEric Walch wrote:This problem can be avoided by making the dock a bit deeper. I now changed in the dat file the 4 numbers -250 into -450. The dock still looks okay than.Eric Walch wrote:I just installed the monks. When a defence ship launches, it jumps after a few hundred meters in 'behaviour_avoid_collision'.
On launch a ship first travels 2 dock lengths outside the station before the ai becomes active. By making the dock longer it takes a bit longer before the ai starts active working on the attack and the ship is outside the trigger range of getting into a 'behaviour_avoid_collision'.
I haven't tested a value of -350. Might also work.
Edit: I was wondering why this was no problem with normal stations. Now I think i know why; it are the 4 spikes that are pointing downwards. When launching 2x a dock length of 250 meters, the ship is still too close to the spikes when normal AI starts.
Yep, for quite a while. It was discussed earlier in this thread as well, here.Griff wrote:oo, Good catch. I think this is the same AI as in random hits.oxp, i've made a copy of that AI, renamed it black monk specific and upated the oxp to v1.44, it looks like it's been missing from the oxp for ages

<string>A device designed by the Assassins Guild for the Bank of the Black Monks. The unit transmits singles though sub-space allowing ships with the appropriate receivers to infallibly track the marked ship.</string> Thanks for spotting that Switek, i've changed that and updated the oxp (now version 1.45)And while you're at it, the word after "singles/signals" should probably be "through", not "though".Griff wrote:
