Environments

[Anjir]

Dear CmdrMatthew, I was wondering if there would be a way to eventually choose to remove and equip back the whole spacesuit. I use the renamon model as my playermodel and the spacesuit kinda screws up my head, I don't see my ears anymore. Second thing: I was also wondering where I can edit a planet, I can only change temperature and a few other stuff, but not the O2 or any other ressources level. When I put the probe online, I get this: [addons\environmentsrd\lua\entities\env_probe\init.lua:83] attempt to call method 'GetO2Percentage' (a nil value)
I also tried the LS core in a space station from a map and it didn't work, but I guess since it works like a planet, I have to do that. I also wanted to know if there will be any chances of making both Environment and LS3E work together, as the ressources aren't compatible with the nodes. Will there be any chances to be able to see the ressources on the node directly? And finally sometimes in the spawn area I get some random -270c temperatures every now and then. (Map is sb_spaceage) . I have to say that this mod is amazing and I that I am looking foward to see more updates, you did a damn nice job.

It is togglesuit I think. You can't breathe in space without it fyi.

There is no way for admins to edit the atmospheres of a planet in game. To change them you need to shut down the server and edit the save data file in data/environments/mapname.txt

Also, there is no way to get LS3 and my LS to work together, they are too different.

As for the nodes, idk right now.

I'm not sure about that precise map, but I've seen on some maps and discussed with CmdrMatthew - this is caused by environments inside environments, and they compete each tick.

[CmdrMatthew]

Just letting you guys know that I am still working on this.

[coryman123]

Getting an error when trying to spawn the LS core... Gonna see if I can find the model it's missing.
EDIT: Hmm, installing the Life support you posted didn't help... Here's the error, could someone tell me how to fix it? [addons\environmentsrd\lua\environments\entregister.lua:590] Model missing: models/sbep_community/d12airscrubber.mdl
ERROR!: Can't create physics object for models/sbep_community/d12airscrubber.mdl
EDIT 2: Odd, now solar panels are displaying an error when I try to use them, and they make no energy: [@addons\ls2\lua\entities\energy_solar\init.lua:67] bad argument #2 to '?' (Vector expected, got table) EDIT: Fixed by downloading LS3 instead of LS2. Still missing the model for the LS core tho.

[coryman123]

Downloading this mod caused me lots of grief; I had to learn SVN, I had to redownload a lot of stuff, and I had to do a lot of Googling. Apart from the missing LS core, this mod is completely worth the effort. Thank you for making this :D (but I need the LS core :C)

It is awesome, isn't it? To get those models you'll need the SBEP pack if you don't already have it - which you can find here: [url]http://facepunch.com/threads/1090864?p=35551664&viewfull=1#post35551664[/url] (SVN links)

Thank you!
Ok, so the LS core works, but I don't know how to connect it (none of the link things work, can't attach to anything), and I've been getting the error
Filename: CAF_Hooks, Message: Think3 Error: [addons\ls3\lua\caf\addons\server\lifesupport.lua:404] attempt to call field 'GetSpace' (a nil value)

[Zombini]

I have a suggestion, have a vacuum-like effect when an airlock is opened(or a hole blown in your ship's hull). I don't know if it's possible with Lua though.

maybe with some type of gravity effect?

I'm not sure if this is related, but I have an LSCore entity in the entities tab that does nothing, but the proper way to place them is with the toolgun... am I correct here?

Actually, I figured out how to link it (I was using the CAF node), but I just downloaded SBEP, and now I no longer have a suit. When I try to type togglesuit, it says:
[addons\environments core\lua\environments\spacesuits\sv_suit.lua:8] attempt to index field 'm_hSuit' (a nil value). Is SBEP suddenly incompatible?
EDIT: Nevermind, it seems the suit doesn't show up in non-spacebuild maps. Maybe you should put a message saying so somewhere?
EDIT 2: Hmm, the top of the HUD isn't showing up now... But i fixed by changing from cool hud off and on again.

Its for people who don't want to use my LS, or want to use both LS3 and mine.

[druedan]

Any chance of compatibility with the Carter Addon Pack?

Or has it already been implemented and I missed the post?

The entirety of the Stargate pack has strange insides.

[RevoluPowered]

I've got the ZPM's working and some other stuff.
Its not entirely stable: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33495256/sofar.patch[/url]

I also made one for pewpew: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33495256/pewpewv1%20Environments%20update.patch[/url]

I honestly can't find the code for the CAP convar menu( for the detection of the RD3 / LS3 stuff. ) so I cant get the energy usage working for the Stargates.

Anyway haz fun.

Edit: forgot to mention that I also fixed some of the laser effects not working. ( In pewpew )

[QUOTE=AlexALX;35607972]As for detecting of RD3/LS3 - main code of detection in file lua/stargate/server/wire_rd.lua[/QUOTE]

Any ideas how come the convar menu has the energy usage greyed out, my patch is mainly in the wire_rd.lua file?

EDIT: I shall re-check the wire_rd.lua file today when I have time, I must have overlooked something.

EDIT2: Forgot to say thank you :)

[AlexALX]

[B]@RevoluPowered[/B] i have looked you editions, and in fact it should work... My check is "if (StarGate.HasResourceDistribution) then" for menu, so idk whats wrong... Later will check myself few things. And if everything will be fine, i will include fixes to main svn (of cap).

[RevoluPowered]

Yeah I checked, I couldn't find it either, Oh also forgot to ask:

When the client only installs cap_resource and not the cap folder, all the menu names and info is messed
up, I think its just a missing AddCSLuaFile() somewhere

[AlexALX]

[B]@RevoluPowered[/B] this isn't a missing AddCSLuaFile, in cap we have client-side check if it have installed it properly, updater check, and some other things, and client should have both folders on client-side in this case...

ps sorry for offtopic.

[AlexALX]

[B]@CmdrMatthew[/B] after i look our cap code, and code of zpmhubs, i'm found one thing - in your EnvironmentsRD addon there is no functions for create resource nodes (or i just not find it yet).

For example in cap's zpmhub if rd3 installed, we set it like resource node and then you can direct connect stargate to zpmhub without resource node.

There is list of functions what we use:

self.netid = CAF.GetAddon("Resource Distribution").CreateNetwork(self)

CAF.GetAddon("Resource Distribution").GetNetTable(self.netid)

CAF.GetAddon("Resource Distribution").UnlinkAllFromNode(self.netid)
CAF.GetAddon("Resource Distribution").RemoveRDEntity(self)

CAF.GetAddon("Resource Distribution").Link(ent,self.netid);
CAF.GetAddon("Resource Distribution").Unlink(ent);

Please say what we should use instead.

Also foundsome strange bug, if connect zpm_mk3 to resource node, and resource node to stargate, dial gate let it use some amount of energy (will be not 100%), and then unlink zpm - it will get again 100% amount of energy (later will look why this can happen, idk yet is it our bug or your).

Also i'm edited wire_rd.lua file and merge code from EnvironmentsRD\lua\environments\shared.lua for stargate lib, so you should later remove it, when i will finish adding support (i'm also fixed some bugs in it). And it seems like not correct override cap code so not work properly anyway.

Thanks in advance.

[CmdrMatthew]

Isn't it still needed for stargate though, or are you fixing that too along with CAP?

[AlexALX]

[QUOTE=CmdrMatthew;35620460]Isn't it still needed for stargate though, or are you fixing that too along with CAP?[/QUOTE]I'm one of cap developers, and want add support for EnvironmentsRD addon. I'm list functions what we use in zpmhubs - i need to know what i should use instead. Your fix is not working correct for cap...

[AlexALX]

Hey, you latest update broke function file.Exists...

It should be

local oldex = file.Exists
function file.Exists(path, sub)
	if sub then
		if type(sub) == "boolean" then
			return oldex(path, "GAME");
		else
			return oldex(path, sub);
		end
	else
		return oldex(path, "DATA");
	end
end

return missed... and also this override should be only on gmod13, or it return false on data folder... in cap some things stopped work after update, because return oldex(path, "DATA"); finding file in game not in data on gmod10.

So please do like this:

if (file.FindInLua==nil) then
	local oldex = file.Exists
	function file.Exists(path, sub)
		if sub then
			print(path);
			if type(sub) == "boolean" then
				return oldex(path, "GAME");
			else
				return oldex(path, sub);
			end
		else
			return oldex(path, "DATA");
		end
	end
end

[CmdrMatthew]

[QUOTE=AlexALX;35699271][/QUOTE]No I didnt. It works perfectly fine on my client. I have the newest CAP and Environments.

EDIT:Hmm, maybe I did forget the returns, but it still works in my gmod.

[tr0ubl3mak3r]

Heya. Glad to see you're still working on this. I do have a question. What is it you're specifically working on? Bugs or new features? And do you take suggestions? If yes, I would suggest some long term goals in the gameplay, something to get players more interested in spacebuild.

For example, your space clouds. It would be fun if you expanded on this into more forms of resource collecting and/or mining. Such as mineral deposits on hazardous planets, crystal formations, maybe even biological resources like collecting bushes or space moss. It gives players more to do than just fly around space. Which would largely separate Environments from SB3 in terms of fun. And of course, down the road if there were a usage for rare resource types and they were only collectable via mining/collecting, there's another gameplay goal.

I also have a minor bug to report involving the random meteor showers. On some maps, there will be an environment without a land mass in the central area.. for example, sb_battlegrounds_r2, the asteroid field near the sun. The small meteors are programmed to let inertia guide them, so they will pass through to the bottom of the map. But the problem is with the large ones. They are programmed to move toward the location of the environment ent every 1 second or so and can get stuck in a loop bouncing up and down if they don't hit anything. Looks really funny and should be easily fixable.

[kernalk]

[QUOTE=tr0ubl3mak3r;35757782]can get stuck in a loop bouncing up and down if they don't hit anything. Looks really funny and should be easily fixable.[/QUOTE]

I discovered something very similar today on Forlorn - a meteor that got stuck inside the sun. Made me chuckle.

I really like seeing these update periodically, but would it be possible to produce a changelog?

Lastly found a bit of a problem with the suit - though I'm not sure if it's restricted to one map or even one specific environment yet: on Forlorn, when entering the space station from space my suit temp never quite seems to reach ambient temperature, it's always just a fraction of a degree below, but whenever I take the helmet off I lose health. Any ideas?
