Ship Device Names

[Ciuine]

Just need some strings compiled for ship device names, so that I can localize ShipHUD.

If someone could run this in an add-on on their ship and give me the mods.txt; that'd be swell.

Code:

local trans = unit.GetTransport(avatar.GetId())

   local devs = transport.GetDevices(trans)

   for i, v in devs do

      local name = object.GetName(v)

      common.LogInfo( "Blah", "Name = "..userMods.FromWString(name))

   end

Here from my own litte ship:

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Goblintechniker

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Schatzkammer

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Seltener modernisierter Antrieb (engine)

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Astralschild (shield)

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Astralschild

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Astralschild

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Astralschild

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Visier des Ausgleichs (navigator)

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone (cannon)

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Kanone

Info: addon MasterLoot: Name = Beständige Kanone

But why you need the names of my specific devices? If I changed a device to a better one the name will be different! Or do you need the order of the items?

[Ciuine]

Do not the better devices have similar names? IE Kanone for cannons. I do string compares based on the standard normal name. The devices are oddly slotted. The Motor/Turbine/Helm are all at the same position; so collecting data by position alone would prove un-resourceful.

I do not collect shield names just the shield data of the ships.

[Гость Carnifex]

ok, thix could work, but do not only search e.g. after "Blablabla Antrieb" but also after "Blablabla Blablaantrieb"

[Ciuine]

I'll just lowercase the strings before running the check.

[Setras]

In russia we have (OMFG) Пищаль, Бомбарда, Пушка for low-caliber-far-range-weapon(650), big-caliber-low-range-weapon(250) and standart (450 meters) canons. So that's like "wtf" or "omfg".

Info: addon GuildAnnounce: Name = Трус-мастер с зубилом I (fast weak repair man)

Info: addon GuildAnnounce: Name = Трус I

So basically in russia we have:

Prefixes:

Типовой - Typical - Green

Модифицированный - Modified - Blue

Улучшенный - Improved - Violet

Postfixes:

I - generation 1, first layer of astral

II - 2 and 2-nd respectiveley

III - 3, 3.

And in general we have problems in naming:

Visor/Scanner/Navigator. But players call PVP one in front "Visor" and Back one - other 2 words.

Hub/Sector - this really differs and there were talks on this site about it, butdon't be confused if someone says something wrong.

[Ciuine]

My ShipHUD only cares about cannons/artillery and the reactor/turbine/motor/helm. So the naming problems with the other things won't matter.

So my string checks will be lower case forms of двигатель (Motor), руль (Turbine), реактор (Reactor), Штурвал (Helm), лучемёт (Artillery), and пушка (Cannon). About the other cannons you mention do they not have named suffixes similar to these?

[Гость Carnifex]

As I understand, there are 3 different names for the cannons in Russia and you have to check if a item contains one of these 3 and if so its a cannon:

There are Пищаль, Бомбарда, Пушка for the 3 different cannon types (low, mid and highranged)

[Ciuine]

Can the two of you test this for me? Just need a standing on ship test, don't need to do anything or what have you. Anything that isn't detected properly (if it exists) will show up gray.

File: ShipHUD_v1.1.1.zip

[Setras]

Пищаль = Sniper (big range, low dmg) cannon

Пушка = Standart (medium range, medium dmg) cannon

Бомбарда = Bombard (low range, big dmg) cannon

[Гость Carnifex]

ok, all items are blue except one gray cannon, but these canon is buggy because this canon isn't shown in the visor to and has the same name as another canon which is detected successfully.

[Setras]

двигатель (Motor) = CORRECT

руль (Turbine) = NOT CORRECT

Turbine = руль высоты (rudder of heigth, in RU)

реактор (Reactor) = CORRECT

Штурвал (Helm) = CORRECT (Rudder, isn't it?)

лучемёт (Artillery) = CORRECT (It's not artillery, rly, it's beam cannon, laser etc. Former "torpedoes")

пушка (Cannon) = CORRECT (but see above 2 other cannons)

As for suffixes and prefixes - they are here to determine the generation and rarity of equipment. So by reading names of them you can now if they are green, blue or violet and of 1-st second or third generation. So you can display enemy's ship's quality more user-friendly, but i don't know what are you ding, so i'll not comment this anymore to not confuse you.

[Ciuine]

Test out the file in the post below, I'm pretty sure everything is correct.

[Ciuine]

Huh, odd.

[Гость Carnifex]

I'm sure it's not, because you check only after one type of cannons and not after the other 2 types.

BTW: some time ago I found a function which returns the object, which is under your mouse-pointer, can someone name this function, so that I can find this lost function^^

[Ciuine]

I do name all three cannons for the Russian localization... And only one turbine/motor/helm matter the second listed version is actually near the reactor where it demonstrates the health of these things easily not meant to be an actual device.

The Event you're looking for is EVENT_INGAME_UNDER_CURSOR_CHANGED.

[ramirez]

Using localized strings as table indices is very bad idea. Why don't you use this:

Code:

device.GetUsableDeviceType( deviceId )

returns enum value (uint):

USDEV_NOT_USABLE_DEVICE

USDEV_USABLE_DEVICE

USDEV_REACTOR

USDEV_ENGINE_HORIZONTAL

USDEV_ENGINE_VERTICAL

USDEV_RUDDER

USDEV_CANNON

USDEV_BEAM_CANNON

USDEV_TORPEDO

USDEV_SHIELD

USDEV_NAVIGATOR

USDEV_REPAIR

USDEV_TELEPORT

USDEV_LAZARETH

USDEV_TREASURE

USDEV_REMOTE_RUDDER

USDEV_REMOTE_ENGINE

USDEV_REMOTE_ENGINE_HORIZONTAL

USDEV_REMOTE_ENGINE_VERTICAL

USDEV_BOARDING

USDEV_SCANER

USDEV_DECOR_SAILS

USDEV_DECOR_NAME

USDEV_DECOR_FLAG

USDEV_DECOR_STERN

USDEV_DECOR_LIGHTHOUSE

USDEV_DECOR_STATUE

USDEV_DECOR_FIGUREHEAD

[Гость Carnifex]

this would be to easy Ramirez ;-)

BTW: Do you know the difference between USDEV_CANNON and USDEV_BEAM_CANNON ?

[ramirez]

Surre, lads! =)

USDEV_CANNON - it's a.... voila, cannon!
USDEV_BEAM_CANNON - artillery or lightning rod or pew-pew-lazorr! also a.k.a лучемет a.k.a torpedo launcher.

[Гость Carnifex]

if USDEV_BEAM_CANNON is the torpedo, what is than USDEV_TORPEDO? xD

[Setras]

Deprecated code part.

[Ciuine]

Thanks for the tip Ramirez, I'll make the necessary changes tomorrowish; just finished another add-on. This one just for fun.

[Гость Carnifex]

yes, your minigames are more important for us all than this addon xD

[Ciuine]

Ha! I made these changes before posting the minigames though. Just haven't gotten around to posting up ShipHUD to UI9.

I'll localize the MiniGame add-on too, if y'all want that. Not like you need to be able to read it though.

[Гость Carnifex]

btw: wtf is your ship hud shown after the second boss in the darkblood citadel? (when you damage the shield of the last boss)
