The Launcher got an Update today. Now I have those fancy buttons on the lower left as well

very awesome news, I'm getting annoyed with rebooting the kunix server

Could you set an automatic reboot at a specific time? Like 5am or something like that.

Modding info / Add Cargo by Device

« on: September 15, 2015, 01:47:09 pm »

Hy there,
I learned that you can remove Cargo by this command:

Code: [Select]

ship.RemoveCargoByType(args.ship_id, "item_id", $amount);But how do you add Cargo?
ship.AddCargoByType didn't do it.
ship.AddItemToStorage didn't do it.

So what do it? I just know the two it ...
... commands.
(I know that properly it would be "does" but if you get the reference, you are awesome)

Any help appreciated

You would also need to adjust the NPC Scripts, so they properly react to your cloak.

New events on this bug.
I can join the party but the display is a little wrong. Whatch the top left "hull asteria joined the party".
Also Fuseldusel is still Antonovus and it's not displayed on his side.



After this I removed everyone from the party and just invited p0kimon from p0ki,
which worked (even with correct names) and exp sharing was working as well.

Modding info / Compression

« on: September 10, 2015, 12:20:03 pm »

So I tried to make a dialog where you can trade 200 glepsite to 1 compressed glepsite.
But when I have 100 glepsite in my ship it works as well, I had to cramp up the checking amount to 400.
Now everything works as intended, but why is that?

What is a query port and how can you use it?
Do you want to display server information on a website or something like that?

Bug reports / Re: Garbage Collection gets huge

« on: September 09, 2015, 12:34:06 pm »

Thanks for the logs. Could you restart the server (loading current world savegame), let it run for a few hours and upload the log file?

Sure, here it is:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/houo5xk9r2y2kwe/Server_VoidExpanse_2015-09-09_20-05.rar?dl=0

Also during this run I had problems with the autopilot which I haven't had before. It was always shuffling to the side even though there was no debris in the way.
Odd, but not the reason I posted this

Bug reports / Garbage Collection gets huge

« on: September 08, 2015, 05:41:06 am »

Using mono to launch the server doesn't make it crash but I noticed that after a while the garbage collection hits above 1k and then you get the symptoms p0ki said. Server becomes choppy and sluggish until a restart of the VE server is done.

I have the same problem and would like to contribute with my logfiles.

Garbage collection starts at 215 MB and goes to 662 MB within 6 days.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/exf1o9ccvv74kte/Server_VoidExpanse_2015-08-28_23-03.rar

The server didn't stall like kyokei, but it sure is noticeable. How much garbage is considered normal?

...cant join it from the main public server list.

Are you sure about your firewall? It seems that connecting to Internet IP's is disallowed.
Can you join other servers on the internet?

Modding info / Re: How do Generators work?

« on: September 03, 2015, 06:25:27 am »

Hmm... within Core\data\scripts\CalculateShip.js I found this line:

Code: [Select]

<?php // I write php to colour the text
var fuel_consumption = ship.GetFinalCacheValue(ship_id, "fuel_consumption_generator") / 60.0 * timeMultiplier * coef;
            if (fuel_consumption > 0.0001)
            {
                ship.SetCurrentValueDelta(ship_id, "fuel", -fuel_consumption);
            }"timeMultiplier" only gets into the equasion to recalculate frames,
"coef" only gets into the equasion if there is more energy generated then can be used,
so we are going to ignore those two.

I understand that this calculation is called every frame (which are 60 per second), to get to our desired fuel_consumption per second we just need to multiply by 60. Clearing all that from the equasion we get this:

Code: [Select]

<?php // I write php to colour the text
var fuel_consumption = ship.GetFinalCacheValue(ship_id, "fuel_consumption_generator")Snippet from generator_dark_energy.xml

Code: [Select]

<?php // I write php to colour the text
<effect>
<effect_type>fuel_consumption_generator_value</effect_type>
<effect_base>150</effect_base>
</effect>So fuel_consumption should be 150 per second. (Seems much doesn't it?)
Going with these numbers the dimensional fueltank can last 16,6 seconds.

Clearly I made a mistake or the "SetCurrentValueDelta" function holds a secret I cannot unravel.
Could you help me with this one more time, please?
