PR1.2 mission scripting - plunder and rescue missions?

[Dilloh]

Hello everybody,

I'm currently writing some campaigns for PR1.2, and I know how to implement the most important mission types like e.g. bounty missions:

'bounty_leader',(0,0,0,False,6,'kilrathi',(),priv.name+"_mission",'','grikath',False,'','grikath',["com message"])

I know that there are other missions, namely e.g. defend missions and plunder missions (those are the "bag a merchant and deliver the cargo to us" missions).

Can anybody tell me how the line for those missions would/should look like, so I can implement it into a mission loader?

Thx in advance!

The way to do it is to open the python file that you want the mission from.

class defend (Director.Mission):
def __init__ (self,factionname,numsystemsaway, enemyquantity, distance_from_base, escape_distance, creds, defendthis, defend_base,protectivefactionname='',jumps=(),var_to_set='',dynamic_flightgroup='',dynamic_type='', dynamic_defend_fg='',waves=0, greetingText=['We will defeat your assets in this battle, privateer...','Have no doubt!']):

So you can see the "defend" is the class name to put in quotes, then a tuple containing the arguments to init.
'bounty_leader',('kilrathi',0,2,5000,10000,0,'refinery',(), priv.name+"_mission",'','',0,["com message"])

I might be wrong in some of the specifics... look in the "initrandom" and the ".mission" files for what the specific arguments mean. Also, compare the names to other missions that have examples (look what bounty_leader uses dynamic_fg for)

It's the exact same format as the mission computer, dynamic_mission and mission_lib uses... So you will have to look there for examples.
generateDefendMission() in dynamic_mission.py

Thanks again ace I sometimes wouldn't know what to do without you.

Yeah, I already looked up the relevant files and tried to put something together, ending up in the game crashing.

The problem is, my mother language is not exactly english, nor python.

Thanks for the tips however, I now know that I'm on the right way.
