Wiki / events.xml structure

[E-Ripley]

Can anyone head to FTLwiki.com and fix the events structure wiki there? It's not very clear information, making life hard. Also, does anyone know how to use <ship hostile="false"/> with an eventlist load? or how to load an eventlist correctly after the end of combat? ie:

<event name="blah surrender"> <!-- surrender event out of a ship load -->
______<text>barf, blah.</text>
______<choice hidden="true">
___________<text> yes, blarf </text>
___________<event>
_________________<ship hostile="false"/>
_________________<event load="barfarama"/>
___________</event>
______</choice>
______<choice>
___________<text> nope </text>
___________<event/>
______ </choice>
</event>

<eventList name="barfarama">
________<event>
_____________<text> I see, excellent </text>
_____________<autoReward level="RANDOM">weapon</autoreward>
________</event>
________<event>
________ etc etc etc

.... I cannot get this to work no matter what I try. There needs to be multiple outcomes to surrender events with different auto rewards. RIght now I'm using a gigantic eventList because I cannot get the above to work. can anyone help?

Load the ship at the start of the event. Then "load the ship again" with hostile="true" to start the fight.

Code: Select all

<event name="INF_STEALTH_FOUND">
   <text>With the adjustment made to your sensors, you pick up a signal! You attempt to hail them, but get no response.</text>
   <ship load="INF_SHIP_STEALTH" hostile="false"/>
   <choice>
      <text>Attack the Stealth ship.</text>
        <event>
            <ship load="INF_SHIP_STEALTH" hostile="true"/>
        </event>
   </choice>
</event>

For an event after "combat", update the ship event itself. Below will load from an eventList if either the ship is destroyed or the crew is killed. There is a tag for surrender if you're trying to put the eventList there. Look in event_ships.xml for more information.

Code: Select all

<ship name="INF_SHIP_STEALTH" auto_blueprint="INF_SHIP_STEALTH">
   <escape timer="60" min="19" max="19">
      <text>The ship starts to power up its FTL Drive. The Stealth ship is trying to get away!</text>
   </escape>
   <gotaway>
      <text>The Stealth ship jumps away, taking their advanced technology with them!</text>
   </gotaway>
   <destroyed>
      <text>The ship explodes and you scrap what you can.</text>
      <item_modify>
         <item type="scrap" min="20" max="40"/>
         <item type="missiles" min="3" max="7"/>
         <item type="drones" min="3" max="7"/>
         <item type="fuel" min="3" max="7"/>
      </item_modify>
      <choice hidden="true">
         <text>Continue...</text>
         <event load="INF_ADV_TECH"/>
      </choice>
   </destroyed>
   <deadCrew>
      <text>With the crew dead you take as much salvage from the ship as possible.</text>
      <item_modify>
         <item type="scrap" min="30" max="50"/>
         <item type="missiles" min="5" max="10"/>
         <item type="drones" min="5" max="10"/>
         <item type="fuel" min="5" max="10"/>
      </item_modify>
      <choice hidden="true">
         <text>Continue...</text>
         <event load="INF_ADV_TECH"/>
      </choice>
   </deadCrew>
</ship>
