Hacking Computer 3.1 - SE v1.205

Description
This mod adds small and large ship hacking computers. It is a replacement for an earlier version of the mod. With new models and effects (a big thank you to Nukeguard for providing the models).

Original:
Hacking Computer


Thanks to Crunch and Sen. Palpatine for providing an update fix for server issues.

To use the hacking computer, simply build it on a grid you wish to take over and the hacking computer will do the rest.

Hacking Computer:
-> Will attempt to hack 1 random enemy block a second.
-> Success Depends on the number of computer components the enemy block has.
-> Will not hack blocks that have been turned off.
-> Red means the hacking computer is not functioning; Flashing means the block is working; Red orange flashes are failed attempts, Green flashes are successful attempts; Solid Cyan means you have completely taken over the grid.

Firewall:
-> Forces any enemy hacking computer to target the firewall block.
-> Has 1000 computers and is very difficult to hack.
-> Flashes when successfully blocking attempts. Blinks faster the more attempts made.

Common Problems:
-> Many pirate ships and cargo ships will turn on and off their programming blocks, timers and antennas. Blocks which have been turned off can not be hacked. **This is intentional.**

Anwsers Common Questions:
-> Yes, you can use the hacking block to prevent hacking, it will take ownership of anything people hack on your ship.
-> Yes, hacking blocks will hack other hacking blocks, and those blocks will then work for you. I've even tested 100 hacking blocks vs. 100 hacking blocks, it works as expected.
-> Yes, building more computers will let you hack faster.
-> Yes, the hacking block must be built on a grid you wish to hack.

Find Hacking Computer on same row as Programming block, and in Progression under Pilot Seats. Or find them in block groups under E-War - Kage

Hi Nukeguard,
thank you for the quick patch, we noticed that it is a combination of blocks on the same grid which causes the freeze, hacking the shield and the MES remonte control causes the freeze, we indicated this on your discord. thank you again for your responsiveness and your attention to us

I tested hacking on a grid with Energy Shields, no freeze and finished hacking. ONLY the shield blocks don't get hacked, you need to do that yourself with this fix.

There's no log for why this is happening is there?

Hi ,
We have the same problem of server freeze and restart, we have investigated the cause and it is linked to the "Energy shield" mod, would it be possible to add a rule to the mod which allows us to scan if there is an active shield and therefore not start the ship hack?

Game freezes for some reason. Can't use log.

sounds like i have had the same issue as others with the freeze/crash....

have done a bit of testing, seems to only happen when i put more than 1 hacking computer on a grid, i belive it is when they attempt to hack the same block that the game freezes, perhaps 1 succeds and the other one then causes the freeze because its hacking your own block? im not a dev so im not to sure how these things work but i would make a guess that it could be something like that ;)

hopefull for an update to fix the issue, happy with an amazing mod ;)

I've come across a problem when hacking a grid with the block add by this mod https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2043339470&searchtext=NPC+shield
namely the NPC Shield Emitter, once a successful hack happens the game just freezes up, I have to force close it and restart my pc as the sound continuities to play in the background

I believe they are from MES/Rival Ai
Capturing non MES grids still works fine, even if MES spawns them (i.e. Vanilla Npc) but Anything with extended scripting or Ai seems to get upset.

Thats what happens right before it freezes.

now are the GUID duplications from MES or from hacking computer?
