Ship unpacking

[gyrantol]

Hi all,

I would like to get ships deeds to unpack to the datapad but when i click on the radial menu in my inventory it doesn't give me the option. I am struggling to find where this would be implemented.

Can anyone advise me where I need to look?

Many Thanks

Gyran

Code for it isn't implemented yet.

ahh ok thank you,

how have some of the servers managed to get around it too allow atmospheric flight? 

I know there is a bit in the playercreationmanager that can enable it. I just can't see how without being able to deploy a ship?

That part of the code spawns the ship control device directly to your datapad on creation.

so does that mean that as soon as the toon is made the ship un packs its self to the data pad ?

Yes if you enable that bit of code a toon will get that ship only in their datapad on creation. I would be careful with it though. We had to turn it off again because due to on going changes with way Emu works as made atmospheric even more buggy. We have experienced memory drains and client crashes.

ok, is there a copy of that file some wheres that i could have a look at it?

so just add that file to my server and Build ?

That file is already there but there is a part of the code that is closed with */ and /* just remove that and it should work.

/*
                    Reference<ShipControlDevice*> shipControlDevice = zoneServer->createObject(STRING_HASHCODE("object/intangible/ship/sorosuub_space_yacht_pcd.iff"), 1).castTo<ShipControlDevice*>();
                    //ShipObject* ship = (ShipObject*) server->createObject(STRING_HASHCODE("object/ship/player/player_sorosuub_space_yacht.iff"), 1);
                    Reference<ShipObject*> ship = zoneServer->createObject(STRING_HASHCODE("object/ship/player/player_basic_tiefighter.iff"), 1).castTo<ShipObject*>();
                    shipControlDevice->setControlledObject(ship);
                    if (!shipControlDevice->transferObject(ship, 4))
                        info("Adding of ship to device failed");
                    ManagedReference<SceneObject*> datapad = playerCreature->getSlottedObject("datapad");
                    if (datapad != nullptr) {
                        if (!datapad->transferObject(shipControlDevice, -1)) {
                            shipControlDevice->destroyObjectFromDatabase(true);
                        }
                    } else {
                        shipControlDevice->destroyObjectFromDatabase(true);
                        error("could not get datapad from player");
                    }
                    */

Concerning Atmos Flight i never made it work. The server always built fine but i always got frozen server when tried to create a new toon.

That option is strange and a waste of memory and crashes and nothing interesting, just for fun (i guess).

 

[Polariszene]

i'm going to give it a go and see what happens...... i never got the chance to play jump to light speed or atmospheric flight

if you set it too allow damage then yes.. by default the ships are set to not damage because of that reason.. as for pancake if you crash into something it goes back to 3d again.. crash again 2d... then 3d etc as mentioned it is buggy as hell

so now that its enabled does this allow me to buy from the dealer to have my own ships ?

nope that was my original post the code to unpack a ship from a chassis in your inventory isn't in game yet.

ah ok... thanks for your help, i am learning a lot

 

[Polariszene]

Flying a tie fighter is cool, can I add more ships to the Line of code to get more ships ?

 

[Aeryna]

Try to change the tie fighter iff for another ship type.
As i said i could never check this option because mine gets frozen.
