Well, if you haven't changed the hardpoint of the Luna, and you put the original Shields.py back and installed the DiamondBC_RedistributeShields.py in scripts/Custom/Autoload/ then the Luna can now be hit without freezing the game (which was your problem, right?).

Fixed.

No more game freezing.

Teach me your ways, great one!

I think you will find errors in your console. :(

I've just tested it locally, new version in a minute.

Not entirely done yet, some strange BC-ism I haven't quite figured out.
But atleast it doesn't crash or free on not uniform max values.

And here is one that does (seem to) work.

For some reason, the use of GetSingleShieldPercentage was not reporting the right figures directly after a RedistributeShields, but through my method of setting the maximum shields to 1 and setting the current shields to the percentage, and then restoring the right max value after the redistribution it is now properly working (the new percentage is the same value as the current shield value).

I'm considering also redoing GetSingleShieldPercentage, but I don't (yet) know if it's that usefull. I mean, I doubt a lot of people would want to do the exact same thing I was doing. :P

Thank you Mleo. It now seems to be working with no problems whatsoever.

Final version, will be releasing this tonight (mostlikely) once I've had the time to write a proper readme for it.
The only difference is style of the code and I'm now doing less work in the two loops.

Let me see if I've got this correct.

You've been using a tech help thread, to help someone, but to beta test an aspect of DiamondBC at the same time?


You sneaky fiend...






...wish I had thought of that, lol.

Oi, I've been away from my computer a lot this week. I actually wrote the few versions in 5 minute breaks...

I meant it as a compliment.

Anyway, it appears to be fully working now.

I just took the Luna up against a dominion bugship. It pounded on my forward shields. As soon as my forward shields turned yellow on the HUD, power was automatically re-routed to compensate, turning the forward shield green again.

It isn't to me, publishing untested (even uncompiled!) code is really bad practise.
