Add production costs value in scriptfiles
« on: January 08, 2011, 08:17:40 pm »
I tried to add a production costs value into scriptfiles (instead of using a hardcoded value)
It worked, except for airplanes the costs are 0 credits

Did i miss something???

The patchfile is without scriptfiles
I've added the value into aircraftmanagement.ufo the same way as for weapons ....

Price of this aircraft type at game start, it's evolving on the market.

i don't see it evolving anywhere.

Got it working
needed to modify cp_aircraft.c too
Line: 1424
static const value_t aircraft_vals[] = {
....
+   {"prodprice", V_INT, offsetof(aircraft_t, prodprice), MEMBER_SIZEOF(aircraft_t, prodprice)},


Shouldnt that be moved to script.c


> i don't see it evolving anywhere.

I've made a quick copy paste operation
Personally i think this is an obsolete comment
because i've never seen a market-price changing
But this was my first code-digging.
Maybe, maybe not.
Who knows ?

the market price evolves - but the produce price not.

would be cool  if you could upload a new patch against latest master

Once I merged it manually to the master (not sure I still have the patch). I like the idea, the more scriptable the better the "engine". However I had a few concerns too:
* it add campaign only data into objDef_t which is global, maybe we should move it into technology_t (production requirements are in tech too)
* If production price is not set in script it's 0. This case (market) price value should be copied to production price at parsing stage.
* We do shorten identifiers but not on all cost. prodprice in script isn't nice.

Thats really needed

I've applied your patch (with some modifications) to master. I'm not fully satisfied as I didn't solve my first concern about campaign-only data, but it turned out it can be a more difficult problem.

Maybe if you would like to you could try finding good values for productioncost -s in script files.
