Alright. In that case, I'd highly like one for entities in general (mostly focused around 'drops on the ground', and NPCs) It would be usefull knowing 'what this is' in detail for an entity. Also, I'd like the entity list command to ideally include a name, aswell as actually using the types listed I've already been doing some. I'll go crazy then.
Alright, I've added a template to the top of each of the pages I could find, with an Index, back to the gameAPI.. should make navigating the wiki a little bit nicer I looked at adding a link to the GameAPI page, onto the front page of the wiki, but it doesn't seem like I can. Maybe you can? (I was thinking of putting it under the 'Development', And just refer to the main Game_API side)
I've added a section, Suggested standard to the wiki: https://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Game_API#Suggested_standards Please use it to submit standards, that you think modders ought to use
Remind me to update the wiki page about the dialog window. The new version doesn't use IdMsgPrio like the old one did.
If you notice that it changed, then please just updated it instead of spamming all possible communication channels. Thanks.
I've mentioned the dialog box change twice; once here asking for a reminder and once on discord asking if anyone has figured it out yet. That is not spamming. I asked for the reminder because I just remembered that I figured that out and forgot to document it, I'm at work right now so I can't edit the wiki.
oh, my bad. I should have said "Somone needs to to update the wiki page about the dialog window the new version doesn't use IdMsgPrio like the old one did. I'll get to it when I get home if nobody gets to it first."
Updated: Request_ShowDialog_SinglePlayer entry Added: DialogBoxData page Event_DialogButtonIndex entry, though I left most of it blank because I haven't tested it myself. Does anyone know about Event_DialogButtonIndex? Is anyone working on it?
is request: private void Player_ShowDialog_SinglePlayer(int entityId, string message, string pos = "OK", string neg= "") { Eleon.Modding.DialogBoxData DLG = new Eleon.Modding.DialogBoxData(); DLG.Id = entityId; DLG.MsgText = message; DLG.PosButtonText = pos; DLG.NegButtonText = neg; SendRequest(Eleon.Modding.CmdId.Request_ShowDialog_SinglePlayer, (ushort)Eleon.Modding.CmdId.Request_ShowDialog_SinglePlayer, DLG); } fired event: case Eleon.Modding.CmdId.Event_DialogButtonIndex: { Eleon.Modding.IdAndIntValue obj = (Eleon.Modding.IdAndIntValue)p.data; if (obj == null) { break; } addEvent(string.Format("Result DialogBOX ID: {0} Value: {1}", obj.Id, obj.Value)); } break;
is there any documentation on the changes of the API? Something I do not see, that besides messages something appeared ... (
I was interested in writing a mod that used a placed NPC as the interface (similar to the trader gambler npc that plays 21) ... I went through the wiki and github code but didn't find/recognize anything like that, is there any public documentation or example code anyone is aware of that shows events/requests related to those? Thanks muchly.
You dont do this with the API but with the Dialogue System Examples are inside Dialogues.ecf file and Dialogues-config-and-examples.txt
Thanks Taelyn .. I'm looking at the function interfaces that are implemented in the dialog config examples and had a quick question if you don't mind. If I wanted to use the conversation mechanism to interact with a helper app/mod is that supported? use case: in a conversation with a dialog enabled npc selecting "Ensign Floyd, help me plot the shortest route to <target> from our current location" would bring forward a helper app (client mod?) that uses read-only access to global.db to populate weighted adjacency matrix and then does best path search and presents it and potentially locks target on the first jump in the sequence with some sort of loadNextJump between the hops. Guessing this would start something like... Execute_1: "SetSignal('AstrometricsBestPathDialog', true)" ...but don't see any events or requests that interact with signal logic or create call backs. Not sure if the integration model would support this sort of thing or if dialog properties like currentTarget are exposed in the API. At the high level what pieces would you use to write that sort of thing? Appreciate the help, if I should take this to the discord or elsewhere no grief.
Has anyone written alternate versions of the "getting started" steps anywhere. I tried to follow them but found I was unable to import the lib successfully. A high level description of the workings may have helped my switch in toolchains more easily troubleshoot if the problem I faced was really that this only works under certain environment setups. Alternate guides?
Here is an example of both the API1 and API2 versions of a simple ServerSay mod plus a video showing the mod in action. Code and Mod can be downloaded here for free. https://www.patreon.com/posts/43804726 Video showing the mod in action and some of how to set up Visual Studio to edit the code.
I've started on the documentation for API2 ( IMod / IModAPI / ModApi... whatever you want to call it) There is alot to type in, API2 is extensive and much easier to use once you figure out the basics Updated: https://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Game_API Created: https://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Game_API_IModAPI https://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Game_API_IApplication
