Player.entity file of that race.

randomCapitalShipNamePrefix "IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_ALL"

Then I guess it just loads from everything that starts with that substring.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

I know this is kind of a basic modding question, but when I go to put my folders together for my mod, do I need to have all of the files (my mod files + stock game files) or do I just put my mod files in the folder and SoaSE will figure it out from there?

While early on you needed all the files, for any of the expansions, including Rebellion, you only need your new and modified files.

It seems that if you give pirate raids the possibility of spawning a capital ship, it causes the game to minidump, or so I have found. Can someone possibly confirm this?

Correct me if I am wrong, but judging by the existance of the HullPointsMaxBonusPerArmorPointMax research modifier, there's some sort of cap of how much armor can boost a unit's hull by?

What exactly do HullPointsMaxBonusPerArmorPoint and HullPointsMaxBonusPerArmorPointMax even do?

A few of the advent capital ships use this buff.

AbilityEnergyAbsorb.entity (uses damageType)

AbilitySpreadWeaponDamage.entity (does not specificy a damageType)

AbilityVengeance.entity (does not specificy a damageType)

These are used in the armor pact (RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTBONUS_ARMOR.entity ).

And your're correct you specify the amount of hull points per armor and the max hull points per armor.

Example:

researchModifier
modifierType "HullPointsMaxBonusPerArmorPoint"
baseValue 0.000000
perLevelValue 20.000000
researchModifier
modifierType "HullPointsMaxBonusPerArmorPointMax"
baseValue 0.000000
perLevelValue 200.000000

Check out the OnCondition->IfOwnerHasHullLessThanPerc found in AbilityUnyieldingWill's buffs.

You should be able to use OnDamageTaken with almost any buff instant action type. 

Quoting lordcronos,
reply 1436

instantAction
    buffInstantActionType "RecordDamage"
    instantActionTriggerType "OnDamageTaken"

It is used to record the damage taken by a frigate, then that damage recorded is used to spread 30% of it to all the affected frigates in that buff setup.

The abilityUnyieldingWill is from rebelion, my mod is on Diplomacy. So as i see i can not specify condition on OnDamageTaken how much dmg trigger a new buff.

What i want: A overtime buff, such as bording party, take over the ship if the ship lose hull more then x% during the buff time period.

 

I gues it can not be done with diplomacy.

Ya, rebellion adds some nice modding tools.

You can sorta simulate this with the finishCondition DamageTaken.

I need a list of what the errors are. Can't find anything wrong with the string info.

Assert @ C:\Projects\P4\SinsDiplomacy\Release\CodeSource\Engine/String/StringLibrary.h(83)

result == 1

Line by line unless you want to start using more advanced tools. You could try to configure text highlighting for things in "" in say notepad ++, or make a program to check for it. Zombie's eclipse plugin might be able to do it if you use eclipse.

I have several meshes that like to sit right on top of each other in game. Is there any magic way to add more spacing in between ships?

Only the developers can control fleet and ship spacing, sadly.

I'm sure if you needed too there are ways you can fake it.

Playing with ships' mass might do the trick. A ship with larger mass will always stand still while the smaller mass ship will move around accordingly. Though, sounding from the issue, this might not be of much help.

Might be a bit late, but I just noticed now that the devs added in a new ConvertXSI folder to Rebellion's files.

Yup. What I haven't tested is if it makes models look any better compared to the diplomacy Convert_XSI and manually adding the mipmap line.
