[X3LU] Mayhem 3.21b

[Joubarbe]

2D 4X in space, with an emphasis on political influence (realtime). Nothing like X3.
A devlog? Maybe when the whole thing will start to look like a game. Right now, I'm working on the GUI, which is not the easiest part.

Greetings.

Please tell me, is it possible to expand the field by two lines?

Russian text is cropped. It is necessary to the second line and text wrapping.

If not difficult.

Thank you. The screenshot shows the location.

addon\scripts\Menu.Mayhem.Ministry.SM, line 1228.

(not sure what you're asking, you're probably aware of that...)

[alexalsp]

I apologize. Text does not fit on a line. Is it possible to add one more line for the text of missions.

I'm not going to add another line just for the Russian localization (because in that case, I should do that for Korean as well, and for all the people who use bigger fonts). Change the text somehow, and make it fit... Or edit the file.

Hey Mayhem users.

I've been working on a little pet project -X3 Mayhem Web UI.
The point of it is to provide a Web UI to do Sanctuary management tasks, like jobs and thresholds. But getting that done is step 5(-ish).

Step one though - X3 Mayhem Stats - is operational.

What is it:

• Stats generating plugin...

• ...and Grafana to look at them

If anyone is interested in using this, please PM me - it is not packaged in any sensible way yet, but I got the zips with necessary configs, and the instance above is running in Google Cloud and can be used.

You can login and check it out here:

Credentials are guest/guest.

Wow... Data come from custom scripts I presume?

[sepa]

Data comes from parts of your Export scripts, slightly modified - using CSV instead of XML
Plugin is exporting stocks of one sanctuary every 10 seconds, round robin through all of the sanctuaries.

I also got some more complex export scripts that output XML + Spring Boot App to load it and expose as JSON over REST, and the beginning of Angular web app (so far only shows sanctuary list). That pack is intended to form a Web UI eventually.

Big Problem. cannot Boarding

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8GsPiQBxg0

Watch at 4.55 minutes. Do you have a different version? Because the screen is supposed to look like that (or it's two different ones, in which case I suggest you try this Boarding one instead of your Board Ship). Then just do what he does, which is autofill and launch (don't move your ship or it can cancel like autopilot). Once you have it done, you'll get a message.
Then you can follow it through the personal console.

Beware, boarding can be very slow (based on the size of the target). If there are other factions around, they are likely to blow the ship up before you get it captured. The boarding started at gametime 26 minutes. At 1 h 07 min the last phase 3/3 started. The ship was about to be capped at 1h 24 min. So 1 hour of gametime for Xenon P. Once its' done the marines will return to the Sanctuary's barracks.

When boarding Xenon P takes an hour, it's a challenge because you have to babysit or choose a really quiet spot. Or maybe use a little too few marines like I did for this quick test. Even with Seta 1000% M6 takes around 10 minutes. But I guess it's very rewarding for the first times.

Download the latest Mayhem version if you don't have it and then just follow the video (auto-fill -> start boarding). I just tried and it should work. You don't even need a quick key like he says. It works also by pointing your mouse at the target and mouse 1 click menu has the option to board right there.

Don't mind this destroyed bit. I just had a quick test where I went for the Xenon gate and used god mode. Border control Atlas blew it up immediately once it was capped (godmode turns itself off with these kind of changes).
Yellow text is where the boarding successfully started. 1h 24 min is the "captured" with marines returning.

I get this "Attack: Launch Marines" by left clicking the ship when I have marines on board.

Another way is to use the Special menu.
Current Ship->Autopilot->Command Console leads you to the 1st pictuire below, then just click Special, which leads you to the 2nd picture where you can click Launch Boarding mission.

But that clicking the enemy ship with mouse button and Attack: Launch Marines does this same thing faster.

Here's the easier way once again. If you don't have a Transporter Device on your ship (Springblossom start doesn't include it, so if you test via cheats just add transporter device and marines), it will produce a red warning text. That is required to telport the marines into the enemy ship.

Once it's going, you can follow progress from the Personal Console's Boarding Reports:

Completed boarding looks like this (the ship gets sent to your sanctuary):

I don't know. My game works from that attack launch marines, where your seems to stop.

It's possible that you don't have 2.9.13 since I never got that Board Ship screen by doing what I did. I got Boarding screen and it had the auto-fill + launch.
As you can see from the video at 4:55, he also got Boarding screen, not Board Ship.

Let's wait for other people. In the meanwhile, you can try the springblossom (easy start) and use the cheat menu to add transporter + marines and then try to repeat what I did.

This doesn't look that it should require a reinstall, but who knows.

I try Cheat Mod

That is. If you don't have this, your install is messed up.

But man https://i.imgur.com/OqSzqCD.jpg

[Joubarbe]

Bad install. Something's wrong. (and you probably have A LOT of problems in your game)
It probably has something to do with the .cat files.

It probably has something to do with the .cat files.

Re-install is the easiest option.

Updated to 2.9.13
Apparently OWP without weapons and shields (i'm using them as decoy) think of themselves as of traders
So they give message about running away from enemy to nearby station, if attacked

On side note.
Small weapon test with EBC

aamon - EBC - 42 sec until empty battery - around 13% shield damage to m7
penatron advanced - EBC - 42 sec until empty - around 13% shield damage to m7

o_O

Does it mean laser reload generator is relatively useless, if you go with heavy burst weapons?
they have nearly same capacitor size, and 39MW vs 46MW makes no difference at all.
They both got dry at same time.
Also jeez, EBC are hitting harder than corvette weapons, insane damage burst for fighter weapon.
(or it was some kind of error during update to *13 version)
