Quick Questions Thread

[Baldamundo]

How do you enable shipsets for use by randomly generated AI?

 

[littleraskol]

Is there any reason why "has_ethos" wouldn't work as a requirement for Ascension Perks? There are no examples of it in the game but they can use "has_authority" and similar. Haven't tried yet, just curious if this a known limitation or not.

 

[littleraskol]

Er, also, do the adoption bonuses and finisher bonuses for tradition trees count as traditions themselves for the purpose of "has_tradition"?

 

[FireLion1983]

Anyone know how to start the game with a species having Full Citizenship despite also being Authoritative?

 

[Mitchz95]

Right now, the number of buildings on a planet influences the city lights visible on its night side. Where is this coded? Is it possible to change that to the number of pops?

 

[kwm1800]

Hmm, I copied some of the buildings in a separate file, named it populationimproved_buildings and got error in log

Spoiler: error log

What are these errors in the log?

I am sorry to bring this year-old question, but I am having very same problem and just can't find the solution.

It seems this causes the upgrade path to duplicate on the building screen. I'd really like to solve this issue.

 

[kwm1800]

OK, I solved this problem by myself. Since nobody has actually answered this question, I put mine here:

Question : "Has upgrades loop" problem with list duplication.

Answer : It seems if there is any duplicate list of the building on the different file, it seems the game thinks they are separated buildings, causing two upgrade paths, leading into this loop issue. Solution was to delete all duplicated lists and it solved the problem.

 

[Mitchz95]

Is there a way to get the "random list" thing to work for planet spawning? I'm trying to use it for my binary systems mod but it doesn't seem to be working (the stars don't spawn).

    random_list = {
       # Binary

           planet = {
               count = 1

               has_ring = no

               init_effect = {

I figured I would check in again for my usual question since there has been an update.
Is there any word on when, or if they are going to incorperate a similar "achievement's enabled/disabled" as they have in CK2 and EU4?
I just find it infuriating that complete graphics oriented mods were disabling achievements.

edit: I figured I should mention before I'm potentially told "Just make sure the checksum doesn't get changed" again. It doesn't matter. The checksum doesn't even change for me when I enable a mod that adds events.

 

[Xoatl]

Anyone know how to close or hide windows/popups after for example a "add_random_leader_trait = yes" command? I have hide_window = yes for the country event but that doesn't seem to apply.

Is there any modifier for spaceport costs or spaceport upgrades?

What about a modifier for empire wide leader experience gain?

[littleraskol]

Not sure what I am doing wrong in my definition of a new ascension perk that causes this to happen. I copied the format from an existing perk pretty damn closely. Here's the definition:

lrsk_adv_civ_ap_diplomatic_aspiration = {
    on_enabled = {
        custom_tooltip = "lrsk_adv_civ_ap_aspiration_unlocks"
        hidden_effect = {
            give_technology = { message = no tech = tech_terrestrial_sculpting }
        }
    }

    possible = {
        custom_tooltip = {
            fail_text = "lrsk_adv_civ_ap_diplomatic_complete"
            AND = {
                has_tradition = tr_diplomacy_dynamic_ecomorphism
                has_tradition = tr_diplomacy_federal_unity
                has_tradition = tr_diplomacy_the_federation
                has_tradition = tr_diplomacy_entente_coordination
                has_tradition = tr_diplomacy_alien_tourism
            }
        }
    }

    modifier = {
        ascension_perks_add = 1
    }

    potential = {
    has_civic = lrsk_adv_civ_civic_aspiring_ascendants
        NOR = {
            has_ascension_perk = lrsk_adv_civ_ap_diplomatic_aspiration
            has_ascension_perk = lrsk_adv_civ_ap_inquisative_aspiration
            has_ascension_perk = lrsk_adv_civ_ap_dominant_aspiration
            has_ascension_perk = lrsk_adv_civ_ap_expansionist_aspiration
            has_ascension_perk = lrsk_adv_civ_ap_harmonious_aspiration
            has_ascension_perk = lrsk_adv_civ_ap_prosperous_aspiration
            has_ascension_perk = lrsk_adv_civ_ap_supremacist_aspiration
        }
        OR = {
            has_ethic = ethic_fanatic_xenophile
            has_ethic = ethic_fanatic_pacifist
        }
    }

    ai_weight = {
        factor = 5
    }
}

I suspect it's probably related somehow to not being able to use "has_tradition" as a thing to check, which would be unfortunate because the whole idea is that this is a reward for a certain government built around ascendancy to follow a tradition path based loosely on their strongest ethos.

Anyone know how to close or hide windows/popups after for example a "add_random_leader_trait = yes" command? I have hide_window = yes for the country event but that doesn't seem to apply.

That is a scripted effect. So edit it directly in 00_scripted_effects.txt.

 

[Xoatl]

That is a scripted effect. So edit it directly in 00_scripted_effects.txt.

Thanks, one more thing. If I'm adding extra traits to leaders through events should I edit the define to increase maximum traits as well so as to not have any issues? Like getting traits from levels or psionic/cybernetic related traits.

If I'm reading this right, you're pointing out that the "has_civic" line isn't tabbed properly? Hm, didn't know that the game was sensitive to whitespace like that but I'll give it a shot.

Try this (I assume it needs to be has_civiv AND the rest. If it needs to be one of those 3, use OR.)

See I didn't even consider that the AND wasn't implicit, but that could be it...

spaceport_module_cost_mult

I had already found those, but assumed that they wouldn't work due to the names.

Note that spaceport module cost works for modules and upgrades, but does not affect the base cost to construct a spaceport. Are there any modifiers for that?
