Re: Modding SEV Thread Questions
 

I need another formula help. What if I want to create a damage formula with the following values:

Range: 0 – 10 – 20 – 30 – 40 – 50 – 60 – 70 – 80 – 90 – 100 – 110 – 120
Damage inflicted: 30 – 30 – 20 – 20 – 20 – 10 – 10 – 10 – 10 – 10 – 10 – 10 – 10

How would I do this? I know that I only need to do the formula once as I want a flat damage rate so the min and max formula would be the same. Apologies but the formatting isn’t coming out and I don’t want to make it into columns.

AI colonies...

-Main script calls function to give ship orders.
-If its a colony ship, it calls the colony minister function.
-The minister looks for a planet to colonize (doesn't seem to care about any details, just if it can).

The AI has a function to pick a colony type, what calls that? It also seems to base what colony type based off of how many other colonies of the same type there are?

I may have asked these before but I don't think I got an answer:

What does Base Model Radius in mpire_ships_xfileclasses.txt do?


The scale setting in each xfileclass seems to affect both the display of ships in the system display as well as in the combat engine. I want a different scale for each. For example, I would scale ships so they are all approximately the size of a hex in the system screen (making them clearly visible but not overly large), but I don't want every ship to be the same size in tactical combat. Is this possible now, or is it something I need to ask Aaron to add? It's essentially two seperate scale settings for strategic/tactical views as opposed to the one setting we have now.

Why don't you use the exact same formula as for accuracy (below) but changing the weight and limits ?

kind of :
iff %range% <=10 ,30,iff %range% <=40 , 20,iff %range% <=120,10,0

Re: Modding SEV Thread Questions
 

Can I do that? SJ, CPT Kwok, Phoenix-D? Is that a legal formula to use for the damage? How would I place the range limit on it? Something like

>=121, 10000, 0
The >= is for the cut off point.
The 10000 is to change all damage to 0 past that point.
I have no idea why the last 0 is in there(?).

Re: Modding SEV Thread Questions
 

You don't want 10000 damage; that would be huge.

Give me 10 minutes, and I'll tweak my equation parser program to show values at range.

The one thing to keep in mind is that SE5's formula parser is not as flexible as this one.
SE5 demands whitespace everywhere, for example.

Note:
If you're not sure what is causing an error condition, press the "verbose" button, and it will tell you what it thinks is wrong with your formula.

So what value will it display per each 10 LS, if there are different values from 1-10 etc...?
