Auto-Eject Warp Core

[JB2005]

Hi All!

Long time no speak! With GOG re-releasing BC, I've been playing through the game again, and earlier this afternoon had an idea for a little script to protect the ship, before a Core Breach can destroy the ship:

Code: [Select]

###############################################################################
# Filename: CoreEjectAuto.py
#
# Neither Confidential nor Proprietary, Apologies to Totally Games!
#
# Gives Brex Agency to eject the Warp Core if the damage level reaches
# 95%
#
# Created: 26/09/21 - JB2005
###############################################################################

import Lib.LibEngineering
import Custom.Sneaker.CoreEject.SneakerCoreMenuHandlers
import App
import MissionLib

pButton = None

def init():

        global pButton
        pButton = Lib.LibEngineering.CreateMenuButton("Eject Core", "Engineer", __name__ + ".Eject")
        pButton.SetChoosable(1)
        App.g_kEventManager.AddBroadcastPythonFuncHandler(App.ET_WEAPON_HIT, MissionLib.GetMission(), __name__ + ".EjectAuto")
       

def Eject(pObject, pEvent):

        global pButton

        print pButton.IsChosen()

        if pButton.IsChosen() == 0:
            pButton.SetChosen(1)
            return 0

        if pButton.IsChosen() == 1:
            pButton.SetChosen(0)
            return 0

def EjectAuto(pObject, pEvent):

pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame()
pPlayer = pGame.GetPlayer()
        pPlayerPower = pPlayer.GetPowerSubsystem()
        pLevel = pPlayerPower.GetCondition() / pPlayerPower.GetMaxCondition()

        print(pLevel)

        if pLevel > 0.05:
            return

        if pButton.IsChosen() == 0:
            return
       
        Custom.Sneaker.CoreEject.SneakerCoreMenuHandlers.CoreEject(pObject, pEvent)

It requires Sneaker 98's Core Eject Mod to work, and the file just drops into the QBAutostart folder!

Agreed! Very interesting script, JB. Definitely adding this to my install!

Assimilated and cookied

oooh Welcome back and with such a nice addition to boot!

it should have like a 75% chance of the ejection system being offline.

Thanks for the feedback

Another one, along the same lines:

import Custom.Sneaker.CoreEject.SneakerCoreMenuHandlers
import App
import MissionLib

pButton = None

def init():

        global pButton
        pButton = Lib.LibEngineering.CreateMenuButton("Auto Abandon Ship", "XO", __name__ + ".Abandon")
        pButton.SetChoosable(1)
        App.g_kEventManager.AddBroadcastPythonFuncHandler(App.ET_WEAPON_HIT, MissionLib.GetMission(), __name__ + ".AbandonAuto")
       

def Abandon(pObject, pEvent):

        global pButton

        print pButton.IsChosen()

        if pButton.IsChosen() == 0:
            pButton.SetChosen(1)
            return 0

        if pButton.IsChosen() == 1:
            pButton.SetChosen(0)
            return 0

def AbandonAuto(pObject, pEvent):

pGame = App.Game_GetCurrentGame()
pPlayer = pGame.GetPlayer()
        pHullLevel = pPlayer.GetHull()
        pLevel = pHullLevel.GetCondition() / pHullLevel.GetMaxCondition()

        Abandon_Ship = __import__("Abandon Ship")

        print(pLevel)

        if pLevel > 0.05:
            return

        if pButton.IsChosen() == 0:
            return
       
        Abandon_Ship.StartAbandonShip(pObject, pEvent)

Triggers the Abandon Ship Mod if the hull reaches 95% damage.

I tested this one by loading a quick battle game and just sat stationary with the shields off whilst another ship attacked me - luckily I had the Auto-Eject button on, because the AI decided to target the Warp Core!
