[MOD] FOCW Corporations REVISED V.3.2

[BlackRain]

Version 2.3
1) Fixed an issue with mining ships which were not assigned to stations sometimes not being able to ever find something to mine. Basically I changed the range to include the entire universe available (or it should be that way).

[BlackRain]

Version 2.4
1) Really fixed mining ships from corporations now. Last fix wasn't working, but I have now fixed the issue. All mining ships should work correctly. However, please keep in mind that existing mining ships in the game owned by corporations may not be working correctly. You could use the cheat mod to destroy these ships if you find them (you will see them just constantly flying around a wharf or shipyard). All newly built mining ships will work correctly.

[BlackRain]

I think as of this moment, the mod is basically complete. Everything should be fixed and working correctly and I have no plans to change the mod. Let me know if you find any issues. I may do another corporation mod which does more than this, but I am still just thinking about it. Let me know if you have any ideas or things you would think would be cool or interesting if I were to do something else with corporations.

Thank you. I lkie how the corps have to start from scratch, it really does make the universe feel mor alive and dynaimc instead of having them in your face from the beginning.

I don't know if game mechanics support this but here's a suggestion for another mod:

FOCW - Corporate Takeover - The player and npc corporations can use marines to take ownership of another station.

1. The number of marines required would be related to the station's defense rating (not sure how you'd figure this). The % chance for success would never be 100%.
2. Marines cannot be launched while the station's shields are above 0%
3. Reputation is obviously effected BUT there is a random "saving" roll to see if some of the corporations allied with the target DO NOT become hostile to you
4. The NPC stations can do all the above to the player even if they are not enemies. This might be triggered if you begin selling items the npc corporation already sells in a sector, or by military might.

It is of course possible, in CWIR Mod (my mod for Rebirth) we had station boarding. Both for the player and npc factions. However, it was a very difficult thing to implement and took a lot of time to do it (it was actually done by Rubini who made CWIR with me). Not sure if I will do it but it is something I could look into if I ever feel bored lol.

CWIR (and CWIR NF) is a great mod. For example the salvage gameplay (still quite interesting even compared to X4's mechanic). The main problem for me was that it took so long to build even one station in XR. Overall great "proto-X4" experience.

The corporation freighters in my new gamestart are only patrolling. No freighter is trading.

I'm using your mod with some personal adjustments, but I don't think it should effect the trading.

Do you have an idea where the problem could be?

Well that would depend on what you adjusted. I need more information. I know for a fact it works so something you did must be causing the issue I guess.

Thanks for your reply!

I found it! My changes in factions.xml caused this. If an argon corporation has a relation value of "1" to ARG, its freighters do not trade. If I change it to something like "0.67" it works again. Same for the other corporations and their main factions.

Hey I saw an poll for enhance X4 universe, it is in connection with your mod, it proposes to improve the economy as well as to create several company or corporation which make an economic war besides,

THIS IS : X4: Foundations – Corporations Expansion

Should be a core feature in X4 IMO. Is it X without corps? Nay...

[Bozz11]

Will you update this mod ? I would love to see corps added for Boron and maybe Terrans ?

thank you for your work

I will update eventually but not right now.

When you do decide to update, could you look at the use of Dynamicwarconversations script by DeadAir? It is interfering with Extended Conversations mod which then conflicts with any mod using the Extended Conversations mod. I love your mod, but I find Extended Conversations mod is a necessity.

In any case, whatever you decide, thanks for your time.

I have never used Extended conversations mod and I don't know what it is either. What exactly is the issue? Can you explain with details please. I will then look into making them compatible.

I don't use the EC mod but it seems like it wants to allow multiple mods to use the same conversation tree...

https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/382

Allows all mods using it to join their starting conversations in a browsable section, so technically infinite mods can be added by only taking up 1 conversation slot for any npc. (Feel free to add support to ur own mods aswell)

1. A conversation starts
2. All mods check their conditions of their default conversation, and if those are met, register a table entry with a cue path to the ECM's conversation Table, instead of just adding a <player_conversation_choice_sub/>, which will be handled later.
3. The ECM (Extended Conversation Menu) now checks if mods have registered in the table. If so, the combined ECM is displayed. If only 1 mod registered, then the conversation option for the mod is being called directly to avoid extra nesting. If no mods have registered, the ECM option won't be displayed.
4. Now the ECM builds a browsable section and lets all mods add their conversation options themselfs by signaling the previously provided cue in their table entry.
5. The user selects an entry, which was previously added by calling your mod's own cue and the now called section is back in your mod, so the ball is passed back to your mod and it continues as usual.

Yes I have an updated version of the mod. More precisely it is FOCW Corp revised. The reason is (I'm guessing) it intigrates Dynamicwarconversations script by DeadAir which I think is interfering with ExtendedConversation mod.

You can just delete the dynamicwarconversations.xml in the md folder of the FOCWCorporations mod for now I guess. This will fix the compatibility issues by removing the dialogue stuff. I will look into the extended conversation menu

[BlackRain]

I am working on the compatibility now with the extended conversation menu, just doing some testing make sure everything works.

[BlackRain]

Version 2.5
1) Compatibility of Extended Conversation Menu mod.

Just redownload the mod, it should work fine now. Please let me know if there are any issues.
