Update 2.2.1 Your X Game - Your Rules - Hotfix

Reactive Factions Retribution

Initial update: 2.2.0 for X4:F 7.0

There may be some issues with the Mod Menu due to the refactoring I started with version 2.2.0. Additionally, please note that Egosoft devs are currently working (or at least MAY ) on UI support, based on their recent communications.

UI modding considered unstable until further notice...

Please note that UI modding must be considered unstable in the current version. While we are working hard to get the UI modding integration into a stable state, we might have to introduce larger backwards incompatibilities in the following patches. This means that you might have to modify any mod using UI modding capabilities to a larger extend to keep it compatible with certain patches. Still, we are doing our best not to unnecessarily break things for modders and certainly will announce such changes on this page here. [wiki.egosoft.com] (11.07.2024)

v2.1.0h - Simple Hotfix in the debug script

v2.1.0 - X4 6.0 and Fixes - Changelog is attached.

v2.0.7fx - Balance & Enrichment Update - Typo Fix

• Penalties are no longer calculated in the wrong UI range. (Mandatory Fix)
  
• Default Penalty Cooldown value decreased from 25 seconds to 5 seconds. This means accelerating receiving reputation penalties up to 5 times by default during events where are many reputation changes in a short period. (i.a. during trading or fighting with large fleets.)
  
• Default Penalty Coefficient drops for each power level. (1: 7%->3%, 2: 20%->13%, 3: 40%->30%, 4: 65%->55%, 5: 90%->85%, 6: 135%->120% , 7: 175%->170% , 8: 245%->240%)
  
• Default Bonus Coefficient drops for each power level. (1: 10%->6%, 2: 30%->18%, 3: 50->33%, 4: 70%->60%, 5: 100%->90%, 6: 140%->125% , 7: 180%->173% , 8: 250%-242%)
  
• I hope the changes will improve the gameplay and make the game at different stages force players to adopt different strategies on the intergalactic stage and keep it balanced for a casual player.
  To make the experience more difficult I'd suggest decreasing Bonus Coefficients by Extension Options Menu for the end-game stages to keep them at least equal or slightly smaller than the Penalty ones.
  
• Main algorithm is reworked. (Development)
  
• Filter's algorithm is reworked. (Development)
  
• LoadAllFactionsToAllocatedMemory library has been created. (Development)
  
• SetNewReputation library has been created. (Development)
  
• Notification System has been reworked. (Development, QoL)
  
• Max Reputation Amplitude option is added to the Mod APIs menu. It's a maximum amplitude of the difference in the reputation gained as a bonus or penalty expressed in the in-game Reputation UI unit. (QoL)
  To put it more simply, value is responsible for min and max cap values of reputation change.
  
• New Advanced options are added to the Extension Menu. The Divisor Amplitude, the Divisor Value, Relation Factor Multiplier, and Relation Factor Threshold. (QoL)
  Divisor Amplitude is a reputation amplitude in which range the Max Reputation Amplitude is divided by Divisor Value.
  Divisor Value reduces the impact of the bonuses and penalties for factions with reputations close to a neutral. Set 1 to turn this off.
  Relation Factor Multiplier has a significant impact on the amount of the final penalty. Increasing it accelerates the evolution of relationships.
  Relation Factor Treshhold is the maximum of estimated reputation value used during calculation by the dynamic algorithm. Smaller values make relation changes more dynamic and unpredictable when larger ones improve the fluency of the relationships at the expense of dynamism
  
• Improved language file and in-scripted strings handling. (QoL)
  
• Introduced Relation Factor - the greater the difference between the relationship of the two factions is, the greater the penalty value for the player will be. However, the better the relationship with a given faction, the harder it is to spoil it instantly. (Gameplay Improvement)
  
• Implemented Suspend Notifications checkbox to the extension menu. (QoL)
  
• Algorithm's check has been changed from Killmilitary to an Enemy. (Development)
  
• Older versions will be patched automatically to the 2.0.7 version during a loading screen. It means this update is compatible with previous saves. (QoL)
  
• Small gift for players who update the modification from older versions! (In-game Gift)

Note: This update introduces a lot of Math to the algorithm and needs decent testing.

---

• Logbook messages have been moved from tips to general category.
  
• Check interval increased from 1 minute (Debug) to 25 minutes. It means the Player's Power Level will update once per 25 minutes.

---

• Fixed Vanilla and Mod APIs Cr values compatibility. The GUI credits values works as intended now.
  
• New Consider Credits checkbox has been added to the menu.
