Sheepy's Phoenix Point Mods

Sheepy's Phoenix Point Mods

Source Codes of my mods for Phoenix Point, Snapshot Games 2019. DLLs are latest build and are less well-tested than those on NexusMods. You can find NexusMods links below.

Unless otherwise noted, my mods tries not to modify game data, meaning they shouldn't taint your save. In other words, savegames made with the mods active should be safe to load when the mods are disabled.

Mods will be added as they are updated and optimised for Modnix.

Some unpublished mods not found on NexusMods, usually custom jobs or for self use, can be found here.

Loader Compatibility

All published mods are tested with Modnix, and usually also with PPML v0.1.

All my mods are incompatible with PPML v0.2 found on NexusMods. Because of how PPML v0.2 is designed, mods must choose one to support.

• 0.1 mods will be ignored by 0.2.
• 0.2 and 0.3 mods will crash PPML 0.1.

Since 0.1 is still used by old mods, and many players are not experts in mod management, I opt for having my mods not work rather than crashing the game, when they are used incorrectly. Thanks for your understanding.

(PPML 0.3 can load 0.1 mods, but mod that base itself on 0.3 would still crash PPML 0.1.)

Compiling

Steps to build your own dlls from the source code.

1. Make sure the game is installed in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\PhoenixPoint. The mods need to reference its dlls.
2. Download Visual Studio 2019, select ".Net Desktop Development" in the Installer.
3. Download the whole repo and extract to a folder.
4. Double click PhoenixPt_Mods.sln. This should open all the mods in Visual Studio.
5. Switch to "Release" build. Debug will not build.
6. In Build menu, click "Build Solution". For the first build you need to be online, and it may take a while.
7. Not all mods can be built with the latest Phoenix Point. Legacy mods may need old dlls to build.
8. Project build script will move successfully built dlls to the distro folder.

If things are not fine, well, you need programming skill to solve it. We need modders. Come join us!

Tech Tree

Yup, I made the first complete tech tree for Phoenix Point. Visit Fandom wiki for the image.

The source code of my tech tree is in the Tech Tree folder. It is charted with UMLet. SVG available. Yeah. Was supposed to be a draft. Except that I have no plan to properly redo it. Feel free to pick it up and carry on.

phoenixpt-mods's Issues

[Recruit Info] Config text size

As title. Requested by JarnoMikkola on Nexus.

[Skip Intro] NRE after skipping intro

UnityEngine.Debug:LogException(Exception)
DelegateList1:Invoke(AsyncOperationHandle1)
UnityEngine.AsyncOperation:InvokeCompletionEvent()

Pause On Heal does not pause if soldier not assigned to base

As reported on nexus post. Make sense since the mod hooks to the vehicle notice.

[Scripting Library] Support lazy log params

Scripting Library should add a filter to try to evaluate Javascript functions when they are passed as log parameter.

[Dump Info] Enable configuration for release

• Depth of dump.
• Enable / disable object ref.
• Allows def types in repo to be dumped.
• Data dump api extension. Moved to Debug Console.
• Enable / Disable dumped type exclusion.
• Enable / Disable gzip.
• Enable / Disable multi-thread.
• Dump command csv.
• Dump item guid csv.

[Dump Data] Break between root and first element

As title. The lack of line break will make version diff shorter and easier.

[Recruit Info] Error on Vehicle

The mod need to be tested on vehicles.

[Debug Console] Scan mods and add commands

Need to re-add Harmony to scan mods after mod initialisations.

[Limited War] Support subfactions

Requested by JarnoMikkola on Nexus.
https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/8250573-limited-war/page-2#entry78638913

I think config will need to be updated to support more and future factions.

Does not seem to work with PhoenixPoint v1.13 Hypnos

Added the mod but no console when using ~ to access it

[Globe Tweaks] Pause on stamina-only recovery

Some players want to keep their beserkers hurt.

[Debug Console] Forward mod logs to console

Seeing mod log in console will help debug.

[Debug Console] Set log level

Initial log level should be configurable, perhaps with a command to change it in-game.

[Debug Console] Add log level console command

As title. Split from #6.

[Limited War] Hint for potential update

Hi Sheepy,
I recently looked at LimitedWar, as the requests to migrate its features to AssortedAdjustments are getting numerous and as i have a few days free time i just started with it.
Main culprit for compat with PP 1.9.3+ is that "VehicleFactionController.UpdateNavigation" doesn't exist anymore. I managed to move the code to "VehicleFactionController.GetSiteVehicleDestinationWeight" and even though i suspect that change leads to worse performance it works nevertheless. Method body needed no change afair.
Cheers!

[Dump Info] CompatibleAmmunition is empty

All CompatibleAmmunition list are empty, and there are no clips. Why?

[Globe Tweak] Calculate and show vehicle flight time

Globe Tweak should calculate and show airplane flight time.
Should also show exploration time and repair time if possible.

Modding ideas

Just an idea list. Not committed to any of them.

Tactical

• Show hit accuracy.
• Manual leaning. (Look for StepOut)
• Always accurate grenade / grenade not explode on close range.
• Multiple firing mode.
• Soldier stats - mission count, kill count, damage dealt and received etc.
• Adjustable grenade trajectory.
• Revive countdown and post-combat resurrect chance.
• Space to cancel dash and movement.
• Holding a MedKit on hand when you die, will allows you to survive at 1 HP after won.

Gear

• All soldiers can use pistol.
• Pistol can be placed in leg slot.
• Default filter should enable proficiency from personal skills.
• Sort gear by type.
• PP gears improves with vivisection.
• Free ammo production. Hide ammo from production, refill spent ammos for free, and ammo does not cost space.
• Allow med-kits to be used on equipment page. Reuse the +Ammo button, but change to HEAL.

Geoscape

• Build Mist Repeller everywhere.
• Gradual base attack - after attack countdown, the base enters a state of siege.
• Allow major factions to attack PP base.
• Turns dead haven into scavenge site. This prevents vehicles from being locked.
• Gift soldier to haven.
• Next base objective should be on neighbouring continent.

Missions

• More alien stats like deployment points and potential enemies.
• Steal research give you a choice of three to four techs.
• Revert Lair victory condition update. (Kill spawnery = victory)
• Turrets in base defence missions.
• More random mutations. Too many grenade crabs too often.
• More worms and sentinals. Too many grenade crabs too often.

Vehicle

• Enable inventory. Done by Danforth 1.0.58746
• Ramp, or at least the ability to "bash" worms.
• Get stronger with tech, esp. armour, may be size/capacity.
• Allow Manticore to "Rush" at cost of health.
• Turret swap or reload, to give Scarab better endurance.

GUI

• Evac All
• Tactical keybinds - F1-F8 for gear, 1-0 for soldier, F9 Quick Load F12 Quick Save.
• Geoscape keybinds - F1-F8 for screens, 1-0 for vehicles, F9 Quick Load F12 Quick Save.
• Show solder stats - accuracy, stealth, perception etc. Done in Geoscape Tweaks
• Tab/Shift-Tab/Q/R on base and haven screen.
• Globe icons to show whether a base can heal soldier. Can reuse haven recruit icon.
• Add missing Phoenixpedia entries, e.g. Virophage damage.
• Show AP & WP in ability description.

Skills

• Skill retrain / reset.
• Skill revamp.
• Smarter AI.
• Mutog Riding.

Final mission:

• Final boss need more attack. Make immune to virus if not already.
• Seal one ability every two turns, or may be half the team get sealed every turn.
• More reinforcements on higher difficulties.
• Unshieldable AoE psychic attack at close range.

Scrap Vehicle corrupts manual save

It is reported on Nexus that scrapping vehicle will corrupt manual save. Need to confirm.

[Debug Console] Improve performance and stability

• Slow on explosion, may be due to high number of damage logging?
• Dump will crash on a number of data object. Implement custom json serialiser?
• Still reliable crash my old end game saves on roster screen.

[Scrap Vehicle] Show vehicle location

Aircraft - show base name and continent name.
Vehicle - show vehicle, base name, and continent name.

[Skip Intro] Video is still loaded in background

Game log shows that the intro video is still being loaded, despite it is not used.

[Globe Tweaks] Split heal pause into vehicle and base

Split heal pause and centering by vehicle/base, so those who want the old mod behaviour can still have it.

[Globe Tweak] Tab and Shift+Tab on haven screen

As title. Need to rotate Earth to centre haven.

[Geoscape Tweaks][Scrap Vehicle] Game is crashing, Modnix reports these mods produce runtime errors

The game crashes when I try to load or start a new game.
I see a Unity error window for the flash of a second, and Modnix marks both mods with blue:
Runtime error(s) detected on last run, mod may not work as designed.

Game version 1.10 EGS
Geoscape Tweaks version 2.0
Scrap Vehicle version 3.0
Modnix version 3.0b3

[Debug Console] Override version string

Show modnix version and number of mods below version string, or some other indications.
