Ascendancy Tech Support / Duplicate entities and brushes 1.1.5X

« on: October 28, 2018, 08:39:11 AM »

I'm tinkering around with making the excellent SinsModCheck python script from the SGI guys work against other mods.

It doesn't run completely against Ascendancy, but it did report some duplicate entries. I doubt these affect Sins as it will either take the first or last duplicate entry (not sure which) and move on, but it will affect maintainability. Someone changing one of these might be sure it was changed properly, but still not see the expected behaviour in Sins.

** Reviewing Entity Manifest **
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: Remnant_Daala.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: EotH_Oto.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: EotH_Stent.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: Remnant_Pellaeon.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: BuffRhazersEdgeTarget.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: AbilityRepairDroids.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: AbilityShieldRestore.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: BuffAntiMatterDetonate.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: BuffRepairDroids.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: PlanetBonusAcidAtmosphere.entity
        Duplicate entry in entity.manifest: PlanetBonusCavernSystem.entity
** Reviewing Brush Counts **
        Duplicate Brush entry: HUDABILITYICON_SUPERLASER in .\Window\HUDIcon-AscAbilities.brushes
        Duplicate Brush entry: HUDABILITYICON_INTERDICT in .\Window\HUDIcon-AscAbilities.brushes
        Duplicate Brush entry: HUDICON_RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTUNLOCK_MARKET in .\Window\HUDIcon-Research.brushes
        Duplicate Brush entry: HUDICON_NAVALCOMMAND in .\Window\HUDIcon-Ship.brushes
        Duplicate Brush entry: MAINVIEWICON_NEBULA in .\Window\HUDIcon-Ship.brushes
        Duplicate Brush entry: MAINVIEWICON_MC90 in .\Window\HUDIcon-Ship.brushes
        Duplicate Brush entry: GameOptionsAlliedVictoryEnabled in .\Window\Screen-FrontEnd.brushes
        Duplicate Brush entry: GameOptionsAlliedVictoryDisabled in .\Window\Screen-FrontEnd.brushes

Ascendancy Tech Support / Some .entity files missing from 1.1.5X

« on: October 28, 2018, 08:27:21 AM »

The following .entity files are referenced in other .entity files, but are missing.

RESEARCHSUBJECT_ABILITYACCESS_DETECTPHASEJUMPMODULE.entity does not exist
- referenced in GameInfo\BuffSmugglerStealSelf.entity line 46
- BuffSmugglerStealSelf.entity does not appear in entity.manifest, so it might be defunct

"Buff_EltaBesk_CorporateAcquisitionPlanets.entity" does not exist
- referenced in GameInfo\Buff_EltaBesk_CorporateAcquisitionShips.entity line 30
- "Buff_EltaBesk_CorporateAcquisitionPlanet.entity" DOES exist, so this may just be a misspelling

Ascendancy Tech Support / Some ship icons being cut off

« on: September 16, 2018, 08:31:00 PM »

Two brushes defined in HUDIcon-Ship.brushes cut off the images in Ascendancy_Ship_Main_Icons.tga.

MAINVIEWICON_SMUGGLER (used in NewRep_YT1300.entity) and MAINVIEWICON_SHREE (used in Ssi_Shree.entity).

The pixelBox dimensions are correct, but the text at the bottom of these images go outside of the standard 50 pixel height. The solution would probably be to adjust the images themselves and raise the text a few pixels.

MAINVIEWICON_ASDONI_FRIGATE (EotH_Asdoni.entity) and MAINVIEWICON_PELTAST (EotH_Peltast.entity) aren't clipped, but they are right on the edge.
