cough cough

@Pokeking I noticed this as well, I think that some changes occurred in base game's handling of captains, I'll have to look into the code when I have some time, I pushed the latest update along with similar updates to this and my other mods, to simply allow the mod to function in the latest game version.

Which negative perks is this supposed to remove? Just anything that's purely negative? I ask because I'm getting captains with the Addict perk.

update?

Apologies for the delay, I've been occupied with meeting deadlines for school. @Sineme, thanks for the tip, I'll include the removal of those lines, and simplify the flow of the function(s) a bit in the next update to the mod.

Your captaingenerator.lua is breaking my ScoutCaptainOperation mod by overriding CaptainGenerator instead of extending it / overriding selected methods.

Could you remove line 5 and 6? Your mod will work the same without breakin mine.
Also: You could simplify getLevelFromTier to just return 4 without the if/elseif/else statements.

Thanks.

@Rocketgarden Apologies for the delayed reply, I was out of town for a couple weeks. Thanks for the suggestion, I have some plans to reorganize this mod and allow for easier tweaks to be made both by myself and for users like yourself. Life's been a bit hectic lately, but I'll try to get that into the works sooner rather than later!

Can I recommend/suggest blacklisting the "Reckless" trait? The flat 5% increase to ambush chance is a real killer

I'm gonna have to look more into the traits because, yeah, those should have been disabled, but I might have overlooked something silly. Glad to hear that things are working otherwise, at least!

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! it works with the other mod... noticed a lot of greedy and gambler traits, but that's not a big deal

will test again

Either I goofed with something that's so dumb I'm just not seeing it, or there's some strange interaction that's screwing things up. Either way, I removed the part of this mod that was intended to make captains spawn 100% of the time. Captains should still have less variance and removed negative traits though. I'll keep looking into what was causing the other issues, and I'll take a look into those other mods and see what can be implemented here.

I should say, actually, same file is often okay, but same functions will almost certainly conflict

mods that change/modify the same lua files are very likely to conflict and cause unintended/unexpected behaviors. Also, I did just fix a few things I screwed up with when updating this, just doing another quick check, then I'll update it here.

the creator of the more captains mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2853957584 is inactive plus that version is an "updated" version of: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789444257 which has been abandoned by the original creator. any way to merge your mod and theirs?

tried again since the update. now station menus don't even show the "hire" options

i definitely had the "Currently prevents captains from spawning" @chr0me was seeing. but that might be a conflict with https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2853957584

Theoretically, we should be compatible with 2.4.2 now. Please feel free to let me know if anything's jacked up or not working.

please update

@chr0me thanks for sharing!!

Currently prevents captains from spawning

Sorry, I made a similar mod a long time ago (no longer saved) for captains without negative qualities, I remember that I edited the files associated with captains and used the /addcrew command for testing and it worked, I spawned captains only with positive character traits and hiring captains also worked , only the mod was for single player.

@CondoR I'd have to check into that. Honestly, I've noticed a few quirky things with the behavior of the scripts which leads me to believe there's some hard-coded variables somewhere, or another script that I'm unaware of that facilitates determining which captain type to "spawn" in a station.

Specifically, as it pertains to the /addcrew command, I actually wasn't aware that such a command existed. Have you tried using the debug window? I haven't tested this too much in creative mode or debug.

I mainly just wanted a simple mod that I could load onto my dedicated server that combined a few mods I was trying to use, as well as adding custom changes that I wanted which all affected the same files, and making a single mod helps to reduce/eliminate conflicts.

The /addcrew command does not work with this mod.
