Known problems or Future work (Jan 7, 2019)
- Partially solved. Real-time updating of wares and distances. detail
- In progress. Subordinates frequently take a coffee break (“Fly and Wait”) between tasks (eventually they return to work, so may not a problem). detail
- According to the report, “Fly and Wait” may directs the commander’s position.
- Subordinates can only have same default order as the commander. E.g. They cannot protect ships in the same wing.
- For now, you can request unassigned ships or different wings to escort them.
- I think one of the solutions is that adding assignment commands to the right click menu of ships. (Alternative idea is also welcome.)
- Compatibility with many order mods.
- In order to solve it fundamentally, the basal framework of this mod should be changed over from aiscripts to UI because the function for enumerating order-params is only provided to UI.
- Exploring Fleet.
- The problem of one-by-one clicking remains yet here. However, I think Exploring is more delicate issue than other. For example, the map visibility can be degraded according to the size of explored regions.
- "Exploring Fleet" is suggesting a interesting subject that how to explore sectors automatically by multiple ships. Any idea?
In this try, aiscripts/lib.request.orders.xml was a key part to determine a default order because all existing orders are canceled by an assignment. You can find "Ship assigned to Ship” block that issues Escort, ProtectShip, and Follow orders at the rear of the file. The codes were inserted above that block. In addition, to refer to the value of order-params in aiscripts, "ship.order.$param_name" seems successfully worked (and "order" can be replaced with "defaultorder"). Feel free to modify this patch and share your edition.
