Ship specific bridge with MVAM?

[ACES_HIGH]

I was trying to make DJ's Galaxy's Stardrive switch to the Early TNG bridge when I MVAM, but I can't get the ship specific bridge plugin to work, the bridge just stays the same one I started on.  I've don't stuff like this a couple times before, but I can't seem to get this one to work

Code: [Select]

import Foundation
import App

Foundation.SoundDef("sfx/Weapons/PPhaser.wav", "PPhaser", 0.7)

abbrev = 'DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection'
iconName = 'DJGalaxyDriveSection'
longName = 'Season 1 Drive'
shipFile = 'DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection'
menuGroup = 'Fed Ships'
playerMenuGroup = 'Fed Ships'
species = App.SPECIES_MARAUDER
SubMenu = "DJ Galaxy Class"
SubSubMenu = "U.S.S. Enterprise *"

Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection = Foundation.FedShipDef(abbrev, species, { 'name': longName, 'iconName': iconName, 'shipFile': shipFile, 'SubMenu': SubMenu, 'SubSubMenu': SubSubMenu })
Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.dTechs = { 'Fed Ablative Armor': {
"Plates": ["Forward Ablative Armor", "Aft Ablative Armor", "Dorsal Ablative Armor", "Ventral Ablative Armor"]
}}
Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.desc = 'Drive section of the USS Enterprise.'
Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.sBridge = 'galaxybridge'
Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.fMaxWarp = 9.6
Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.fWarpEntryDelayTime = 3.5
Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.sBridge = 'ETNGGeneric'

if menuGroup:           Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.RegisterQBShipMenu(menuGroup)
if playerMenuGroup:     Foundation.ShipDef.DJEnterpriseSeason1DriveSection.RegisterQBPlayerShipMenu(playerMenuGroup)

I don't think it will swap during MVAM, only when beaming.

[ACES_HIGH]

oh, ok

[MLeo]

I don't believe it will work with the BPCore version of this either.

Hello.  Is there now a solution to this issue? I'm currently playing with the Prometheus and I would like to set up a battle bridge that loads automatically when you separate the Prometheus.

[Phoenix Bondi]

its not wise to re-wake a topic this old, can normally get you into trouble with the admins, but as far as i know this has never been finished

[JimmyB76]

well, as far as this plugin, one thing i notice right off the bat is that drive section calls for both the galaxybridge and the ETNGGeneric so that could be a reason it doesnt work...

it could also be that bridge switching may not work with MVAM...  i personally dont know, as ive never tried...

[Alucard]

Too bad. But thanks anyway.

Apologies for bumping this thread, but I had a thought this morning and I've come up with a somewhat crude workaround which makes what's been discussed above possible:

I was going to use the Generic TNG Bridge, but I couldn't get it working so I substituted in the NX Pathfinder to demonstrate the concept!

This was made possible by making 4 alterations to the GalaxyMVAM Plugin Script from the "Stock" MVAMinfinity mod:

First of all, I added an import for LoadBridge - which is a file from Stock BC which is meant to be used to choose the Ship's Bridge at the beginning of a mission in the campaign, but fans of my work will know I use and abuse this script every chance I get!

Next I made the following changes:

Code: [Select]

def MvamGalaxySaucer(pObject, pEvent):


# get the player
pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame()
pPlayer = pGame.GetPlayer()
snkMvamModule = __import__ (__name__)
# check if its our full ship
if (pPlayer.GetScript() == "ships." + snkMvamModule.ReturnMvamShips()[0]):
import Custom.Sneaker.Mvam.Seperation
LoadBridge.Load("GalaxyBridge")

###TO CHANGE: change the last word in quotes in the next line to the name of the def. (ie: "MvamGalaxySaucer")
Custom.Sneaker.Mvam.Seperation.Seperation(snkMvamModule, "MvamGalaxySaucer")


pObject.CallNextHandler(pEvent)


###TO CHANGE: dont forget to change this name too.
def MvamGalaxyStardrive(pObject, pEvent):


# get the base variables
pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame()
pPlayer = pGame.GetPlayer()
snkMvamModule = __import__ (__name__)
# check if its our full ship
if (pPlayer.GetScript() == "ships." + snkMvamModule.ReturnMvamShips()[0]):
import Custom.Sneaker.Mvam.Seperation
LoadBridge.Load("nxpathfinder")


###TO CHANGE: change the last word in quotes in the next line to the name of the def
Custom.Sneaker.Mvam.Seperation.Seperation(snkMvamModule, "MvamGalaxyStardrive")


pObject.CallNextHandler(pEvent)


###OPTIONAL CHANGE: This is the reintegrate sequence. You really don't need to touch this
def Reintegrate(pObject, pEvent):
#get the base variables
pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame()
pPlayer = pGame.GetPlayer()
pSet = pPlayer.GetContainingSet()
snkMvamModule = __import__ (__name__)
#check to see if all the ships are still around in the set. start a counter
intCounter = 0
for i in range((len(snkMvamModule.ReturnMvamShips())) - 1):
if (App.ShipClass_GetObject(pSet, snkMvamModule.ReturnMvamShips()[i + 1]) == None):
#make sure we're not skipping the player ship
if (pPlayer.GetScript() != "ships." + snkMvamModule.ReturnMvamShips()[i + 1]):
#NOW it's bad. something isnt right, so notify the counter
intCounter = intCounter + 1
#alright, if this is a legit reintegrate, intCounter will equal 0
if (intCounter == 0):
import Custom.Sneaker.Mvam.Reintegration
Custom.Sneaker.Mvam.Reintegration.Reintegration(snkMvamModule)
LoadBridge.Load("GalaxyBridge")
pObject.CallNextHandler(pEvent))
The addition of the

Code: [Select]

LoadBridge.Load("BRIDGENAME") means that when the plugin runs to either seperate or reintegrate, at the same time it switches the bridge.

Obviously as a practical solution this has its drawbacks - ie that it requires altering the plugin (though the plugin isn't otherwise affected by the alteration) but it shows that it is at least possible!

Welcome back, JB    Good to see you come up with solution.     Yeah, that LoadBridge script is a real little goldmine. I abused it to make Baz's TWOK bridge/crew work with a TMP Kobayashi Maru mission I scripted.  The other JB and I been continuing work on the SP Game Mod.  PM Jimmy and if you've got time, get access to hidden forum and add any thoughts 

[Mario]

Correct implementation would be something like I did in Xtended. Check 000-Expansion-MVAMEvents.py and you'll see that without touching the mvam source code we can attach an event onto MVAM. Which I used and exposed for others in my scenario:

Code: [Select]

ET_MVAM_SEP
ET_MVAM_REIN

Is a copy of the modified script I did, this is set to alternate between the Sovereign and Galaxy Bridges, since they're the  Stock ones it should work for anyone and provides an example!

But like I said it's a terrible way of going about it!

terrible, but still effective none the less. this may come in handy for me soon.....

have a pat on the back and a cookie for cracking this one JB!

[Lurok91]

yeah, forgot *cookie*

Hello people,

At first: you're doing a great work  . there is almost no problem that you can?t solve.
as I read yesterday, that it would have worked, I almost danced for joy. but after I changes the script, the bridge changes not automatically.

is that really the right script?
\ scripts \ Custom \ AutoLoad \ Mvam \ GalaxyMvam

if I replace the script code with the scpit code from JB the complete script no longer works. when I press the MVAM button in game, nothing happens.  What
What did I miss?

[hobbs]

did you use note pad?
if you did dont "save as" just save only thing i can think of... but im no scripter lol i cant even get a button to activate a sound file lol

[Alucard]

I don?t think that is a problem with "save as". that was in previous modding never a problem.

yes I use the notepad.
