A super old campaign called Enemies United got put up on Knossos - I want to convince Joe to play it, but that kind of torture might be a violation of the Beta Aquilae Convention 

Although he put both System Madness and System Madness II on the list... so...

How will the company or merc operate when their homes, logistic, families are all living under the GTVA?

1. The GTVA is a political entity founded to uphold a political treaty, the BETAC. As the entity assigned to the protection of the sets of laws that exist under this social contract, it is not allowed to violate them. Simply put, those how have to enforce the law, have to obey the law. The existence of law breakers does not suspend the rule of law.

2. The doctrine of the prohibition of collective punishment applies under BETAC. Long fancy words, made short: Under BETAC you cannot punish a person for the actions of another. Especially you cannot punish someone solely based on association, including family connection, legitimate business ties, and similar.

3. Internal enemies of the GTVA might shelter their logistics into "uncooperative populations", i.e. they might seek specifically to build their logistics base on planets which already have a strained relation with the GTVA. As a result any military or law enforcement action may be delayed by having to navigate the relationship between GTVA authorities and the locals.

4. Internal enemies of the GTVA might exploit the provisions set up for the oversight of civic institutions, e.g. the GTVA version of a "Freedom of Information Act", to gather intelligence and identify and exploit blind spots of the GTVA.

1, 2 and 3 are reasons that in the real world help organized crime to be successful against prosecution.

Well, I’m still not sure what on earth was causing the problem, but I tried again this weekend, switched to the latest nightly build, and my joystick worked just like it’s supposed to.

So, problem not solved, but problem over!

The Scripting Workshop / How to pass in a Container as a parameter to a script?

« Last post by Shivan Hunter on August 16, 2025, 10:30:40 am »

When defining a custom sexp via scripting - you can have paramateres be ships, numbers, variables etc. Is there a way to pass in a container (Map of string to int)? Otherwise, how do I access containers in a mission (or campaign file) given e.g. the name of the container?

Scripting Releases / Re: Movements-SEXPs, capship useful (v3.0)

« Last post by wookieejedi on August 16, 2025, 09:18:34 am »

Sorry, I should have posted this in the original 3.0 update message, but if you are updating to version 3.0 from a previous version you will first need to delete the `movements-sct.tbm` file before downloading the new `movements-sct.lua` file. (This is because the new script file is a lua file so simply copy and pasting it into the tables folder will not overwrite the old version since the file names are different.) The `movements-sexp.tbm`remains with the same name, so that one can easily be copy pasted/overwritten though! Overall, the new file format just allows it be made an actual lint-able LUA file instead of the old FSO tbm style.
