import/export

[skeletor9000]

I would like to edit the import/export table so that slaves are an export of certain colonies. I have enabled the `slave-trading` with `hell-angel`'s mod. Does this table even exist anymore or has it all become dynamic according to how much of a certain good that a colony has? Also, if any `code-junkies` are reading this I'd like to know if there is any way that I could make it so there's a random chance that any crew you take off of a captured ship are "too unruly" and become slave cargo. Any help would be appreciated.

I could NOT get it to work in build 11
I hope some PMT had an Idea .....

more specifically...

When I ask about the random chance of crew from captured ships, I'm referring to the following code area in the Program/Interface/Transfer_crew.c file... The following bit is from the slavery mod:

void ProcessChangeLeft()

{

if(GetCrewQuantity(refEnemyCharacter)<=0) return;

if(GetMaxCrewQuantity(refMyCharacter)<=GetCrewQuantity(refMyCharacter)) return;

AddCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_SLAVES,1);

RemoveCharacterCrew(refEnemyCharacter,1);

WasChangeData();

}

Compare the following bit from the build...

void ProcessChangeLeft()

{

if(GetCrewQuantity(refEnemyCharacter)<=0) return;

if(GetMaxCrewQuantity(refMyCharacter)<=GetCrewQuantity(refMyCharacter)) return;

// boal min crew on ship --> NK

if(nCompanionIndex >= 0)

{

 if(GetCrewQuantity(refEnemyCharacter) <= GetMinCrewQuantity(refEnemyCharacter) && GetCrewQuantity(refEnemyCharacter) + GetCrewQuantity(refMyCharacter) > GetMinCrewQuantity(refMyCharacter) + GetMinCrewQuantity(refEnemyCharacter))

 {

 PlaySound("interfaceknock.wav");

 GameInterface.strings.Mincrewwarn = "Min crew reached!"; // NK

 return;

 }

}

GameInterface.strings.Mincrewwarn = ""; // NK

// boal min crew on ship <-- NK

AddCharacterCrew(refMyCharacter,1);

RemoveCharacterCrew(refEnemyCharacter,1);

WasChangeData();

}

It seems to me that someone with rudimentary code knowledge (something that I don't have yet) would be able to insert the "add slave" bit along with a random chance variable into the build code. If anyone with the inclination could post or explain how to fix this code, I'd be really grateful. Thanks a bunch.

Just replace the AddCharacterCrew line with AddCharacterGood line from the previous section.

 

[skeletor9000]

won't that make EVERY crew member i take turn into a slave? What I'd like to do is randomly assign it. So that there's something like a 30% chance that the crew member is turned into a slave. Is there a way to do that?

 

[skeletor9000]

also, does anyone know about changing the import/export/contraband settings?

 

[NathanKell]

Replace AddCharacterCrew(....
with:

if(frnd() > 0.3) { AddCharacterCrew(refMyCharacter,1); }

else { AddCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_SLAVES,1); }

 

[NathanKell]

frnd() returns random float between 0 and 1 btw.

wonderful! thanks so much, NK. Sorry to bug you so much. But you're quicker than "teaching myself C in 21 days". Thanks a million.

You're quite welcome, I'm happy to help.
Especially with specific questions.

But, you'd be surprised, it doesn't take that much work to pick this stuff up--give it a try, you may like it.
(Then again, you _have_ started already. )
