I wonder why modders haven't made Backup Batteries for suits yet. Perhaps the API doesn't give access to the needed bits of code?...

Sorry to hear that, in this case i add this new information to the name of this mod. You are free to use/use parts/change this mod if you find it more useful that way. But i have currently no time to fix this mod.

this script no longer can compile after recent changes to the scripting system

Now some one just needs to make a freaking umbilical mod or at the very least use the coding for the O2 bottles and make something for suit energy.

I will add audio warnings as soon as i install this game again.

I cant seem to add spaces to my warning messages. any help on this? Also, can you implement a sound play feature when warnings are displayed?

Thanks

Thank you ;)

PROXIMO YOU ARE A GUARDIAN ANGEL :)

it work wonderfuly i love it altho iagee somesort of soudnwouldhel cus i dontalwes see the reten warning cin mi mostly vlind i ushly notes by aout 10 % so ithas saved me
thanks forthe nice script

Seems to be working fine, Though it would be nice to get sounds with the added warning messages, even if it was just a vanilla one, or even a few beeps.

It's a very old script and i have not changed it in a very long time. If it's not working any longer, please tell me. I will than install space engineers again and fix it.

is this script still working?

Nice, it*s work.

It's working again

@Geneticus
It's a good idea, but it's not the problem at all.

To get the User-Object i have to call "GetObjectBuilder" on the entity, and the entity is just an interface-object. The only way to check if that works is simply to try it. And if its impossible, the application it will rise an exception.
So my quickfix is to just try/catch the error that happens. And yes, thats uggly, but it works...

How about a wait state while controlled entity != Player ?

I understand now. The ControlledEntity is the ship, after you enter a cockpit. That means that i try to get the property "Energy" of the ship, but there is no property with that name available, because it is a ship. But the main problem is that i can not longer access the "player"-character, only the "thing" he currently controlles. I am sure there is another way but for the moment my script is broken, i am sorry about that, i will try to find another way soon.

aianstant crash, yep.

Instant crash as soon as I enter small ship cockpit.
Conditions: hosting multiplayer game, bunch of other mods.

I can not reproduce this error, but it could be because of the change i made (Controller could be nothing, that means ControlledEntity and Entity to...)
I tested it in a offline-sandbox. What are the testing conditions you have?

Application crash now :(

Having said that, I do wish they would deprecate changes instead of breaking things constantly.

I can't make heads or tails of the API so far (mostly a time issue). I am an ASP/C#/SQL enterprise application programmer atm. I deal with Grids, form fields, and web services all day.

There was a change in the API because of this patch. The property "PlayerCharacter" is not longer available.
I reprogramed the part using this: "MyAPIGateway.Session.Player.Controller.ControlledEntity.Entity"
If you know how to program you see how stupid this is. If not, it's working again ;)

Thanks you for reporting, i will fix it as soon as possible (probably today or tomorrow)

New Patch Bugs. Yay.

The bug Generticus was talking about should be fixed in the current version of space engineers. If you have any other problem with the script, just write a comment ;)

Thats one of the errors i was talking about Geneticus. That error means:
"I tryed to write to the file where the finish version of the 'energy warner script' (Suit Energy Manager) is, but i couln't BECAUSE there is someone using this file"
Now here comes the Joke: The one using the file IS Space Engineers, so it is basicly trying to access a file that is currently in used by IT SELF!

What i can do about it is:
- Nothing
- Wait for a patch

What you can do about it:
- Restart Space Engineers every time before you join a new game
- Wait for a patch

I hope this helps ;)

Thats odd, yes, but there are very serious problems with the script-api currently. So i have to wait for the next patch to work on this mod, sorry ;)

Well, it's done now, enjoy

I see, i am currently working on a ingame and file-config. Its hard because xml is not available, so i had to program something from scratch. It will be available in about 5 hours.

My reasoning is that studies have shown that any sort of contact, even the artificial kind, can help fend off lonliness in survival situations. Kind of like Wilson from the Tom Hanks film Castaway.

Wonderful and thank you! I was thinking of somewhere between Jarvis from the Iron Man movies (almost TOO pilot if a bit ironic) to the annoying operator on the other end of the radio.

I was thinking the most people don't appreciate my jokes, so i tryed to be direct and simple. But yes, its very, very simple to add warnings with every text you can imagine. I try to make a config next so that you can add some youself.

How difficult would it be for you to mod a version of this that is a bit more...flavorful? By that I mean annoying. For instance at 20% you get the ususal 'Suit power at 20%' warning. At 15% you get 'Ok now...you're down to 15%. Time to head back' and so on. The 5% should be something serious like 'Ok dumba$$...get back and rechanrge NOW!'

Or am I asking too much?

It does in my case, but there is probably something special for multiplayer. I will see into that, thank you.

the warning didnt show up and the power cut off

I am sorry, i do not understand what you are trying to say. this script only displayes messages in the current state and has nothing to do with ship power or your friends.

Thank ou for making this svript energy destroyed my friends ship when power went out he flew towords a cargo ship and gotshredded to bits

I am glad this script helps. If you have any more ideas what i could make better, just ask.
Todo: sounds

Thank you, I hate how they knocked the warning down, it use to be at like 15% or something and they dropped it to 5%

small thing but useful
