Hi i tried both the lua and pak for both mods but for some reason even if you install using the nexus mod manager it doesnt spawn the encounters. i might be doing something wrong any tips?
The first problem is that you're using Vortex. The second problem is that both versions of the mod, including both versions of the LUA files are packed into the ZIP file, so what Vortex is doing, is installing all of the flies, the two PAKs, and two LUAs, along with the INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS.txt
I wanted to use your mod but my savegame now only summons living ships when using an anomaly detector, even when not using the mod. My other saves are fine. Any thoughts on whats causing this or how to correct it?
I wanted to use your mod to easily get the frigates from the NMSCE on Reddit, but it wasn't working the way I expected. The encounters I got were the first living frigate encounters you get with the Dream Aerial where you answer a lot of questions and "craft" your own frigate. I removed the section from your .lua file for the BIO_FRIG_FIRST encounter and used AMUMSS to rebuild it to remove these encounters. I then expected to encounter ordinary living frigates. However, the mod didn't work; I never encountered any living frigates. So I changed the value "StandardEncounter" back to "False" (you had set it to "True") for the BIO_FRIG encounter and rebuilt the mod using AMUMSS. The rebuilt version of the mod now works as I expect it to.
So I used your original .lua and just changed the "StandardEncounter" value back to "False" for the BIO_FRIG encounter, and the mod worked as you intended it after I tested it, with equal chance for both BIO_FRIG and BIO_FRIG_FIRST encounters. However, your numbers may be too high, as there were no other encounters, only megafauna encounters. I will be using this version of the mod and just skipping the "Cosmic Whale" encounters (BIO_FRIG_FIRST) and stopping on the "Whale Song" encounters (BIO_FRIG).
Thank you for your mod and the work you put into figuring out the Organic Frigates encounters.
Thanks for that! I will make appropriate changes and upload a new version. I never really hunted for Living Frigates, so I wasn't actually aware that there was a difference between how your first and subsequent encounters take place. Again, thanks. I really do appreciate your comment!! :-)
