Another archive I use is; http://viking.gurut.org/Mods/

But I think it's pretty much mirroring the obliteringwave vault.

Thank you for the link, krapougnak!

Okay, so I've scrapped the idea of making something like Gilbot's old mod for now as its complexity is beyond my capabilities to imitate and gone with a different function for my buildings to make them unique. One such building has a new adjacency that I've created, a buildrate adjacency. While it does work for now I've run into a problem with plugging them into buildings that may already have a buildrate buff. I'm looking for a way to allow a unit to both have my adjacency build rate buff and a regular buff without my buildings resetting receiving buildings buildrate when plugged in.

Here is my code for it. Ignore the mass and energy buff in it as they aren't apart of the buildrate code.

Code:: do local OldBuffAffectUnit = BuffAffectUnit function BuffAffectUnit(unit, buffName, instigator, afterRemove) local buffDef = Buffs[buffName] local buffAffects = buffDef.Affects if buffDef.OnBuffAffect and not afterRemove then buffDef:OnBuffAffect(unit, instigator) end for atype, vals in buffAffects do if atype == 'EnergyProductionBuf' then local val = BuffCalculate(unit, buffName, 'EnergyProductionBuf', unit:GetBlueprint().Economy.ProductionPerSecondEnergy or 0) unit.EnergyProdMod = val unit:UpdateProductionValues() elseif atype == 'MassProductionBuf' then local val = BuffCalculate(unit, buffName, 'MassProductionBuf', unit:GetBlueprint().Economy.ProductionPerSecondMass or 0) unit.MassProdMod = val unit:UpdateProductionValues() #### ADJACENCY BELOW #### elseif atype == 'BuildRate2' then local Buildval = unit:GetBlueprint().Economy.BuildRate local val = BuffCalculate(unit, buffName, 'BuildRate2', 0) unit:SetBuildRate( Buildval+val ) #LOG('*BUFF: BuildRate2 = ' .. val) end end OldBuffAffectUnit(unit, buffName, instigator, afterRemove) end end

Sounds great! I've been trying to get a hold of the Mod Load Order and other mods for ages, but it's hard to find things when most sources aren't easily searched up. And Google is no use because after page 3 or so, all you get are military record, haha.

I think I have the Mod Load Order mod (and still use it) with many older mods. I will post it here when I get home if nobody did in the meanwhile.

Where oh where did you find that?!

I've been trying to build up an archive of old SupCom mods/maps and websites/forums that aren't active or available -- been looking for gilbot's for ages! Now I just need to find Furyofthestars, for the Mod Load Order mod and his Improved Veterancy stuff.

tanksy beat me to it.
back in the ancient times, there was a mod very similar to what you are suggesting, with pipes for sharing adjacency bonuses, and making base building much more about those

it was certainly an interesting mod, and probably you could learn a lot from looking at the code in it

edit: i got a hold of it for you, enjoy: http://puu.sh/qXn8W/53bad96a9f.zip

Wouldn't counting the buffs a building is receiving be just as simple as using your eyes to count what you've built connected to it?
Perhaps you can add a variable to the adjacency scripts that counts how many buffs its given out.

Are you talking about the Gilbot X mod pack ?

Re: Adjacency question

What I ment is that the building would modify the bonus it gives out according to the number of buildings its plugged into. This affectcount code would count the number of bonuses the building is recieving and modify its adjacency accordingly. Also, I have a copy of GilbotX's adjacency mod and is where I got the idea for this. However, the way he did his code is very complicated as he set his mod to work according to the army id of your ACU. Unfortunately I would have no idea how to find out what that number is in faf. Even if I did I'm not sure his mod would work with faf either and would probably require a lot of work to update for it.

So I found some code in the buffs lua that tracks how many of each buff a Unit has using an affectcount function. I'm going to see if I can use this in another way to have buildings that track their buffs and then pass them along or perhaps modifies the strength of its adjacency dependent on the count.

I wonder if anyone knows if you can track the number of a certain buff a building gets or gives. If so I could perhaps give this building a new type of adjacency that has a pgens adjacency buff and gives an empty set energy storage buff to track the pgens plugged into it by how many of those buffs it's giving.

You may not have noticed, but I was actually being sarcastic. WTF is the whole idea behind extending the adjacency concept to buildings which aren't adjacent? You may as well just remove the whole concept of adjacency. Because it just doesn't mean anything.

This is a really complex idea, which provides no improvement to gameplay. So I vote no.

adjacent buildings have "wires" between them, that is what gives adjustency buff

why not just build those wires by yourself if you want to have adjustency bonuses on buildings that are not adjucent.

makes perfect sence to me. ( except for that part that origial building has only 4 sides, but if you extent it adjustency then you can add whatever many connections and go unassisted t3 air/nuke/omni if you connect enought t1 pgens to t3 fac, or connect one pgen multiple times)
