Digging into the cloak config file...

[HuggieSunrise]

Now I got a question on the field "cooldown_time" as warmup is the delay between the initiation of the event by keypress or typing /cloak.

Is it me or is cooldown_time broke? ive been trying to get my Nom cloaks to force a cool-down of like 5 minutes.

Also making liquid cardimine the fuel commodity and turning the consumption to zero was a real timesaver but if only the cooldown time worked... (or is it working and it does something completely....different and ...unknown..)

Any you hook engineers able to look into the source or know if its doing what its supposed to be doing?

Code:

; Small ships
[Cloak]
nickname = dsy_cloak_1
warmup_time = 3000
cooldown_time = 120000
hold_size_limit = 120
fuel = commodity_mox_rh, 1
fuel = commodity_mox_fuel, 1
fuel = commodity_gallic_fuel, 1
fuel = commodity_h_fuel, 1
fuel = commodity_deuterium, 1
fuel = commodity_helium3, 1
drop_shields_on_uncloak = true

[Cloak]
nickname = cloak_nomad
warmup_time = 5000
cooldown_time = 900000
hold_size_limit = 0
fuel = commodity_liquid_cardamine, 0
drop_shields_on_uncloak = false

; Gunboats and Freighters
[Cloak]
nickname = dsy_cloak_2
warmup_time = 20000
cooldown_time = 120000
hold_size_limit = 900
fuel = commodity_mox_rh, 1
fuel = commodity_mox_fuel, 1
fuel = commodity_gallic_fuel, 2
fuel = commodity_h_fuel, 2
fuel = commodity_deuterium, 2
fuel = commodity_helium3, 2
drop_shields_on_uncloak = true

[Cloak]
nickname = cloak_nomad_gunboat
warmup_time = 5000
cooldown_time = 900000
hold_size_limit = 0
fuel = commodity_liquid_cardamine, 0
drop_shields_on_uncloak = false

; Cruiser, Battleships and Transports
[Cloak]
nickname = dsy_cloak_3
warmup_time = 60000
cooldown_time = 120000
hold_size_limit = 0
fuel = commodity_mox_rh, 1
fuel = commodity_mox_fuel, 1
fuel = commodity_gallic_fuel, 3
fuel = commodity_h_fuel, 3
fuel = commodity_deuterium, 3
fuel = commodity_helium3, 3
drop_shields_on_uncloak = true

[Cloak]
nickname = cloak_nomad_battleship
warmup_time = 5000
cooldown_time = 900000
hold_size_limit = 0
fuel = commodity_liquid_cardamine, 0
drop_shields_on_uncloak = false

When did you guys get cloaks?

He's testing it on his own server.

He just needs some help with the FLHook stuff.

May you ever walk in the Light, Shizune.

What do you mean "when did you get cloaks". There is nothing that stops noms from getting them.

We have no place to buy fuel. We don't want to be OORP by shooting our battleships to get bits for a Cloak. The list goes on...

as much as i love the cander.. The -SPECIFIC ISSUE- is in this config file there is Warmup and cooldown. Two polar functions like posative and negative states.

The warmup? works great. i type /cloak and in 5 seconds she cloaks.

however when i decloak the downtime doesn't seem to enforce a wait period before using it again...

THAT is the cunundrum. if i could see the source or get confirmation ....as to wth is goin on lol it would be real helpful.

You have no place to buy fuel oh noez omg.

I have no place to buy codename guns and gold ore.

Read a bit closer.

What Huggie is trying to say is that if he can understand and perfect a Nomad Cloak - it could be submitted as a tech solution.

Now all the Nom players writing here - please remember to say "Thank You HuggieSunrise!"

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

the rest is simple. putting the vanilla cloaks on the nomad ships for the final patch would in essence require us all to rebuy the ships if we wanted these cloaks nomad_cloak nomad_cloak_gunboat for the nammu and irra and nomad_cloak_battleship for the duk (each has different effects that fit their sizes)

nomads would have to carry liquid cardi as a catalyst for the cloak but it wont be fuel.

The last snag is the cooldown timer. see if its been toggled off or undefined in the plugin.


Further there is a cloak_fighter for wilde ships that would be neat because that is the cloak the valkryes used in sp.
