On it.

EDIT: Done, testing.

Done, click here to download. It's about 700kb, when I tried deleting everything but that file it crashed so I included all the other files in their text form. If you want me to make it pure-binary let me know.

EDIT: Made it pure binary for speed optimization reasons. Checksum is changed but reflected in the readme.

They released some of the more basic stuff, check out the entity editing thread. It's unfinished, but Blair and Craig wanted to get it out since people have been itching for them. Soon they'll put it up on the site officially, and have it be more complete

If you did what I think you did, how do you stop the AI from just hanging at the phase threshold, trying to phase forever while you rip their fleet apart? Simply increasing the delay PJI's inflict does not, I think, tell the AI how much trouble they are in... unless I am mistaken and the system is made way smarter than I thought?

Ah, I see, so the AI does not even attempt to phase out?

Though for the future I hope there will be a way to mod AI behaviour to prioritize destruction of phase inhibitor units/structures (and appropriate building of the same). Otherwise this can create an unfair advantage for us humans.

For now, my version simply doubles the vanilla delay, as it is more useful that way. I plan to combine it with buffed versions of defense turrets. Should make it possible to blockade a sector without having AI just get stuck in it like a fly in a spider's web.

Funny, I was considering doing the same thing. Increase the PJI delay and increase the range and ROF of defense turrets. Nothing that'll completely lock down a system, but something that'll make them painful and worth the money invested.

Change the EntityModifiers to 0, delete the block, entityBoolModifiers to 1, make a entityBoolModifier "DisablePhaseJump".

I'm currently working on a mini-mod tentatively titled Sins of a Blockade Runner that will implement a interdictor, "hit-and-run" and blockade runner ships for all the races.

no way, then we wont be able to escape!

Check the modified dates.

Hmm.

For a quick test I just took the file PLANETMODULE_PHASEORBITALJUMPBLOCKER.entity

changed

ability:0 "AbilityHyperspaceDisruption"

to

ability:0 "AbilityGravityWarhead"

and gave it some antimatter and antimatter regen.

I was able to cast the ability from the ability panel, and get it to shoot at things after I'd cast it at something, but with the default-on autocast on it seemed extremely reluctant to actually shoot at anything. The one time I ever saw it shoot at something on its own was after I'd already got it to shoot at a target manually. The default range of 6000 was way too short to hit something trying to leave at the edge of the well. So I made a copy of AbilityGravityWarhead.entity and changed over the PSI to use my copy of AGW.e, and changed the ability range in the copied file to 15000, but it still didn't seem to automatically shoot at things trying to leave the system.

So it .. sort of works, if you micromanage it, but there has to be something in the behaviour of the CapitalshipPhaseColony.entity that makes it sensibly chose when to cast it that is not making it over to the PSI. Still, extremely pleasantly surprised at how incredibly easy it is to chop and change bits around without anything breaking outright.
