It's more that G Workaround And Right Click API (Immediate Order's prerequisite) is not compatible with Sir Nuke's Mod Support API (my mods' prerequisites).

I have

Code: Select all

Immediate Orders
G Workaround And Right Click API
Sir Nuke's Mod Support API

installed simultaneously - and everything works. Troubles start only when I add UI: Trade analytics

Yeah, because until a mod explicitly uses any of Mod Support API's functions, Mod Support APIs is "dormant".
I had a look at G Workaround, and it looks like it rewrites the Interact Menu. It's likely that any mod that adds right-click commands with Mod Support APIs (e.g. KUDA AI Tweaks) will be incompatible with G Workaround.
Do the right-click commands added by KUDA work with Immediate Orders? Do my other mods with new custom UI menus work with Immediate Orders?
This is what suggests to me that G Workaround is overwriting the Interact menu:

I have a dozen of extensions that depend on Mod Support APIs installed and working, including five of yours, they all work fine, the only issue is with Analytics
This is how it looks, both KUDA and Immediate Orders commands are present:

[kuertee]

so weird, eh, considering that trade analytics only adds a new menu in the transaction log - which has no connection with the Interact Menu at all?
Willhave a look

I have some problems here with Wear and Tear 4.2.07

In my new game all my ships have (almost) full service crew (albeit with just one star). In unit-overview, the mouseover text, however, an Elite will see "Maintenance crew 0/2 0%" (and damage to hull/shield, for example). The same for all other ships

Funnily enough, the bottom line is that neither hull nor shield are attacked and have full values. Somehow I don't think it's supposed to look like that, right?

Ok, this version is intended ot work with X4 4.2 (i have 5.1) - and i'm running VRO - then mostly all of your fine mods (but they are unlikely to be the problem)

AI Tweaks v5.1.00081 - I order ship to 'disable avoid high-risk enemies' from right-click menu, avoidance order disappears from map, but appears again a second later
If I disable the option in settings (M ship), then it works, but shouldn't manual override be working even with the option enabled in setting?

found the bug, but have not been able to test. busy at the moment.
mind giving it a test run? https://drive.google.com/file/d/17YQ-5l ... sp=sharing
would appreciate it!

hmm, I see no changes, avoidance order disappears from map, but appears again a second later

I noticed an issue today that might be tied to one of the three updated mods from the last couple of days.

I loaded my save and was able to see my current missions list. I received a rank from the Teladi. After that, I could no longer see the mission list: clicking the icon resulted in no effect. I can still see the available missions, just not the missions I've taken. I didn't notice this issue previous to the updates from the 11th and 12th.

Hey, kmunoz! Sorry, I've been a bit busy and my updates have been spotty.

I did notice a Lua error after I uploaded one of the updates.
But I soon uploaded the fix. Can you check the logs, please? There are instructions on how to generate one in the read-mes.
Then load the game and go to the menu you had problems with. Unlike some MD errors, Lua errors simply stop the script instead of skipping over them.
Send me the log at kuertee@gmail.com. Thanks.

Also, I uploaded another Reputations version a few hours ago to return the Guild Network button to the Mission Offers menu.

I think I'm running the current version, I updated about 1 hour ago.

I did some testing (took out the last 3 updated mods) and once I was back up to all 3 installed, things were still working right. From that I suspect the issue resolves itself on a game reload. I'll see if I can get the logs to check on that.

[ScandyNav]

I don't know what's happened, but surface element targeting mod stopped properly working for me. It worked fine just a couple of days ago: after destroying one target it switched to another one.
Now I can select surface elements, but after destroying one of them this mission guidance disabling itself and current target deselected.

Can it be because of latest UI Extensions and HUD update?


EDIT: It's super strange, but it start working again as intended. I didn't change anything.

Would it be possible to have the bank loans from NPC Reactions to scale from 1 million to something like 5-10 million after you reach a certain reputation requirement? I was looking in the kuertee_npc_bank_loans.xml file to see if I could adjust it to something like that, but I'm pretty sure I'd end up breaking the bank functionality if I start changing things too much lol. I know there's other bank related mods out there, but the way yours does it seems to fit perfectly within the UI as an extension of the Accounts tab, and having to worry about paying off a much larger loan (allowing me to expand rapidly in the mid-game) would be pretty nice. Alternatively, even have shady guys offer larger loans but have larger interest rates or something along those lines, which would fit with the overall theme of the black market.

In the .xml file, I see the line for <set_value name="UserSettings.$interestRateShadyGuy" exact="0.05" />, but haven't yet seen a loan offer from shady guys (might be looking in the wrong place).

Hey Igor, yes, I never got around to adding loans from the Black Marketeer. It was a planned feature.

And, sorry, I'm waaay behind updating my mods - several of them with long-standing bugs. I plan to release updates next week (but I said that last week, and the week prior).

Anyway, I'll add what you're requesting to the mod but unsure of when.

But did you know that there is no limit to the number of station managers you can get loans from?

That would be great! Thank you. Been using your mods since forever, they're all really good.

What I've been doing so far is hopping multiple stations to get 1mil loans, currently have like 20 loans outstanding due to a station I was constructing lol. But it does get slightly more tedious later on when you're needing something like 50 million, but I suppose there's not a limit so I could just teleport around if I truly wanted to

Here are this month's updates.

Particularly new things are:

• UI Extensions support for the updated Subsystem Targeting Orders mod.
• The new combat cam/auto-watch feature of the Auto-camera. Here's an unedited (apart from the soundtrack) video that the combat cam can produce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLZpvP4JQeo
• Bug-fixes in Emergent Missions mod, Reputations and Professions mod, and Social Standings and Citizenships mod for bugs that I introduced when I integrated those mods into Star Wars Interworlds.
• A big update to DeadAir's and my AI Tweaks mod.

These updates get me to a point where I can add new things to them. The bugs were in the mods for too long. It was unfortunate that I got quite busy last month that and I could only work on my mods a little bit at a time. Anyway here are the change logs:

UI Extensions and HUD https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/552
v5.1.0301, 17 Jul 2022:

Spoiler

Show

• Returned feature: Support for Subsystem Targeting Orders.
• Bug-fix: (For real this time.) Re-enabled custom HUDs.

KUDA AI tweaks https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/839
v5.1.0301, 3 July 2022:

Spoiler

Show

• kuertee: New feature: On new module targets: L and XL ships uses withdraw behaviour but with horizontal and vertical offsets - promotes ships to move around their station targets.
• kuertee: New feature: L and XL ships stop their withdraw behaviour against ships if their hull is less than 50%. Allows the ship to stand their ground instead of to flee a losing battle.
• kuertee: Tweak/bug-fix: When attacking a target in a different sector, the move to engage behaviour will not activate until appropriate. This prevents the bug where the engage position is at the other side of the target.
• kuertee: Bug-fix: Move to engage position behaviour against ships now update as the ships move, preventing ramming behaviour against ships. Previous versions had this disabled.
• kuertee: Bug-fix: Escorts were ignoring the new behaviours because they weren't evaluating their "$primarytarget" var properly.
• kuertee: Bug-fix: User toggle for avoid high risk wasn't sticking.
• kuertee: Bug-fix: "Move around instead of attack" behaviour applied only on XS, S, M or non-fighter ships.
• Dead Air: move.attack.object.capital: Adjusted ideal ranges for ships against stations, capitalships, and smaller ships. They will attempt to keep more distance against stations. Player ships no longer get artificial skill boost. Missile ships will no longer act as if they have a front weapon unless they actually have one. Ships will attempt to get above/below ships much less often (due to front weapon and capital aiming restrictions by egosoft). Ships will consider their minoperationalrange and maxoperationalrange when finding a position near the enemy with less RNG. Capital ships will use travel drive and boost much less often when the target is within range. Capital ships will no longer try to get into the weakquadrant of ships since it mostly led to them getting too close or trying to move too often.
• Dead Air: Engineer: Default script - removed all changes other than hull damage limit. Optional Script - Increased station repair amount 5X and scaled frequency to 5X. Reduced station max repair per cycle to 1% hull instead of 5%.
• Dead Air: lib.target.selection: Reduced stickiness of primary target by 20%. Reduced relation impact to vanilla and removed impact from subordinates relation value. XL ships will be more likely to target L/XL ship hulls or station modules themselves instead of turrets now. L will be more likely to target M/L/XL ship hulls and XL turrets/engines/shields. Torp S/M will be more likely to target L/XL ship hulls, station modules, or L/XL/Station turrets/engines/shields. Reduced chance of non torpedo S/M of attacking station over preferred targets.
• Dead Air: move.flee: Reduced chance of AI ships dropping their cargo every time they flee.
• Dead Air: drops.xml: Reverted seminar drop rate changes.
• Dead Air: faction logic changes: Hold Space: Set default range search for defense ships to 3 jumps (preliminary steps taken to allow user to enable/disable change), balanced the desired fleet sizes so moodlevel is less likely to have fleets never engage, improved defense station placement to vicinity of gates further (preliminary steps taken to allow user to enable/disable change). Invade Space: Set default range search to include all owned sectors for the faction. No more fleets sitting around idle doing nothing in backwater systems. Balanced desired fleet sizes so moodlevel is less likely to have fleets never engage, enabled factions to order more ships from shipyard/wharf to meet their desired fleet strength. Patrol coordination: balanced acceptable force differential so patrols are more likely to engage enemies for certain moodlevels.
• Dead Air: Carrier attack fix: Added logic for current bug where docked subordinates on a carrier never receive new orders. This fix checks all docked ships and re-adds then to $escortgroup. Behavior for attacking carriers slightly changed where they will send all of their subordinates that are currently available at their primary target or it's turrets/engines/shields. If attacking and a station is a primary target but not the only target, the carrier will send a subordinate L/XL if available, else it will focus down smaller targets first. Carriers will now auto repair docked subordinate ships if they have a shiptrader.
• Dead Air: Old bugfixes: Mining ships will now drop all of the unsellable cargo if they are stuck at or above 50% cargo after mining and unable to sell. Recon - updated threat scaling of stations to account for possible weapons.operational bug

Think I found a bug with the Rep and Prof bounty hunting. I think I also saw this happen in the Star Wars mod.

Basically, If I'm docked at a station with bounty guild missions and have the guild network open and then save, I automatically pickup bounties when the game is loaded.
Was dock at a wharf with three bounties, saved and when I loaded the game all three got picked up.
Pretty sure it also ignored the timer that limits how many you can claim per hour, as I had like 10mins left from my legitimate bounties I did earlier.

Little tired, sorry if the explanation is lacking.

Oh, good pick-up! Thanks for the bug-report. I'll check it out.

As for the timer ... the last SWI update (I think) had a fix for timer bug. Unless, of course, this docked-saved-load bug affects it also. I'll check.

Hi,
I have read that the mod 'Turret Behavior Menu' is not compatible with 'Waypoint Fieds for Deployments'. For me, the right click menu of 'Turret Behavior Menu' also does not work when I have 'Waypoint Fieds for Deployments' installed. If I uninstall 'Waypoint Fieds for Deployments', then I also have the menu. Are there any solutions to this or are any expected in the foreseeable future? I just didn't want to do without the mods.
