DOH! Dheilds typo fixed. |
| The side index for this base. Ships / bases which | ||

Wait, why is the default friendly side 2?

... although it looks like I might have to remove "There is no side 0"? 🙁

According to vesselData.xml, the default sides associated with each vessel are as follows. I wonder if they have anything to do with the side data for each of these entities.
0 = TSN/Terran player ships
1 = TSN/Terran bases and friendly ships
2 = Kralien ships and bases
3 = Arvonian ships and bases
4 = Torgoth ships and bases
5 = Skaraan ships and bases
6 = BioMechs
7 = Ximni/Zim ships
8 = Pirate ships

I don't know if/why the protocol disagrees, perhaps there's some good reason why they add 2, or a heck of a lot of friendly Kralien bases or something, or the docs are just wrong... but I just started a level1 Siege, with 4 friendly bases:
objectBitStream(
ObjBase(1000,Name=>UTF16("DS1"),Shields=>800,MaxShields=>800,Index=>6,VesselType=>1002,X=>49755.5,Z=>49947.85546875,Side=>2),
ObjBase(1001,Name=>UTF16("DS2"),Shields=>400,MaxShields=>400,Index=>6,VesselType=>1001,X=>43591.328125,Z=>61022.31640625,Side=>2),
ObjBase(1002,Name=>UTF16("DS3"),Shields=>400,MaxShields=>400,Index=>6,VesselType=>1004,X=>65726.625,Y=>0,Z=>56230.91015625,Unknown21=>0,Unknown22=>0,Unknown23=>0,Unknown24=>0,Unknown25=>0,Side=>2),# full
ObjBase(1003,Name=>UTF16("DS4"),Shields=>400,MaxShields=>400,Index=>6,VesselType=>1001,X=>61613.44140625,Z=>65037.5546875,Side=>2),
ObjEOL()
);
PlayerShip was at X=>43614.32421875,Y=>31.3577728271484,Z=>60922.828125 docked at DS2.
Feel free to run your own tests!

Anyone feel like making a script file with one TSNBase, one KralienBase, one ArvonianBase, etc? Would be interesting to see if the docs are just plain wrong, or the protocol is wrong, and/or the game is adding 2, or ignoring "Side" for a lot of Kralien bases in regular Siege games, or something?
We may have deduced it was "Side" based on names? See #164

@StarryWisdom says:
Race side (in the vessel data) != game side (what color is shown on screen)
(Yes this caught me out when I have been coding)
In the protocol for base bit stream it's game side
I am unsure if race side is ever used in the protocol doc explicitly (it's used in the vessel data)
In case it makes it click - you can have hostile and friendly stations (game side) of the same faction/race (race side)
Does that answer your Q, @JordanLongstaff ?
Thanks to @StarryWisdom in #164 - some updates to 2 "base" fields.
Also fixing an HTML error -
