Leave a comment. Tell me what you like in my plugins, or hate. What you want to get added, or removed.
Every feedback is welcome!

[MeretiJane]

For the most part I like your plugins, but the AI images you use for some of them are well, bad.

[zuckung]

first, thx for the feedback!

all of my images are from ai, about which images are you talking? and in which way bad?

[MeretiJane]

Personally I don't like them, so I just remove the AI images manually.

Anyways, that's not what I'm here for now. I think you should add korath ammo to the Efreti shipyard plugin so that their secondary weapons can actually be viable to use. Would be cool and a simple update.

[MeretiJane]

Also I think being able to straight up buy an echo galleon is a bit odd, maybe it would be cool if you had to unlock a license for it or something, so like you could buy their other tech and ships, but they arent just gonna sell a world ship to a total stranger. Like idk some mission chain you do for them.

[MeretiJane]

I updated the file if you want to use it
shipyard.txt

[MeretiJane]

oh also they should sell the digger turret too

[zuckung]

sure, np, i will add ammo.

actually there are only weapons for sale that the efreti use on their ships. the mining turret is an exiles weapon, clearly stating in its decription.

and regarding the missions ... i thought about that when i created that plugin, but there is the problem with the speaking. and later with rek translating, which have to be an option in the plugin, but would be too late for the normal user. maybe a quarg can translate, or you learn some sign language. well, it's complicated.
writing texts is the part i hate when making plugins, but hey i can use chatGPT :D
fun asides, if you want to write something like this, feel free, you would get full credits.

Hi! I really like your mods. You've added a ton of great content to a gem of a game. Your ship merging mod is really unique. Do you have any plans to incorporate merging functionality to other plugins that add ship content, like Mega Freight? I've attempted to edit plugin files manually to merge one ship from the MF mod, and it looks like I'm not quite hitting the mark yet. I'll keep at it. Thanks for supporting the ES community!

There's a script to generate a ship.merging plugin from a data folder here: https://github.com/zuckung/endless-sky-plugins/blob/main/tools/ES_plugin_script_ship_merging/ES_plugin_script_ship_merging.py
And if you'd prefer not to use that script for whatever reason, I have a GitHub-based version here (instructions in the README): https://github.com/TheGiraffe3/zuckung-scripts-online
There appears to be a compatibility plugin already generated on the ship.merging releases page of my repo. Note that you'll need to be using the newest version of MGF for it.

[zuckung]

Thanks for your feedback, always nice to hear :)

The giraffe was faster :)
and yes, the wish for such a plugin-compatibility already came up several times, for ship.merging and for mission.helper. luckily these plugins are script generated and a small adjustment to the script can make this possible. with the help of the giraffe the scripts are very easy to use, without local coding environment. have fun with it ;)

[ken1442]

Wow, that was quick! I really appreciate the help. Keep being awesome!

[JonasTam]

Hey, nice plugins, I've install several of them to try them out.

I'm tryin to merge ships, but I cannot find any button or mission or anything like that for the merge. How should I find the merge menu?

[TheGiraffe3]

There's a new system called Dent, linked to Cardax. Go there and land on Trillinox, then visit the job board to accept the mission.

[JonasTam]

Yep, I'm on this Ship, and it does not give me any options of merging. I have 40 same ships to merge.

[zuckung]

you can find the merging on the job board. but this plugin needs the same ship data as your ES version, else the job doesnt show up.

ship.merging 1.0.7 with ES 0.11.1
ship.merging 1.0.6 with ES 0.11.0
ship.merging 1.0.5 with ES 0.10.16

[JonasTam]

Thanks!
How/where i can get the 1.0.5 version? (GIT is still new to me)

[zuckung]

and the info how to start it, within the Dent system, you can see when clicking on the "show readme".

[JonasTam]

Oh, thanks! Already managed through GIT (was something new to learn!)

[rogue-ronin]

I'm trying your additional.command.buttons.radial. Doesn't offer buttons on linux, but the flagship graphic and putting the fleet ships along the bottom is very nice!

Some small bugs in the planet layout... Could you make a simpler one that does the flagship and fleet stuff without touching the planet part or trying to add the buttons? Love this game, thanks for the cool plugins!

[zuckung]

this plugin is made for android version (only), and is not working correctly with windows/linux/mac. i would have already ported it to the PC version, but the hardcoded button handling is different. there is currently no chance getting it to work on PC.

regarding the flagship hud i can help you with https://github.com/tobersj/Central-HUD/tree/main , from there i got it.

i hope that helps at least a bit ;)

[rogue-ronin]

I did remove it yesterday after trying (and failing) to move things via the planet.txt file. (I had indeed noted that your readme explained it was for Android only.)

The Central HUD looks great and I will install it shortly. I like the relocation of the "radar" in the screenshot...You have a note in the readme that sometimes the long messages get obscured - could you move the ship to the lower right instead of the middle? I generally use 16:10 monitors and locate my control surfaces and data to the sides. Seems natural somehow - that's where my hands are, yeah? :D

Much aloha and thank you for adding to the game!

[rogue-ronin]

Whoops! just noticed that is not your repository, and it is not in the eslauncher plugins list. I'll learn how to install it manually and please ignore the request to mess with the flagship location! 😆
