Function documentation

static void Simulator::cEmpire::CaptureSystem(cStarRecord* pStarRecord, uint32_t empireID)

Captures a star system for a specific empire.

Parameters
pStarRecord The star system to capture.
empireID Political ID of the empire that will become the owner.

This can only be used when the star belongs to another empire. For any kind of star, use cEmpire::AddStarOwnership

cPlanetRecord* Simulator::cEmpire::RequireHomePlanet()

Returns the home planet of the empire, and if it is not available, it assigns one.

Preferrable over using mHomePlanet

Math::ColorRGB Simulator::cEmpire::UpdateAndGetColor()

Calculates and returns the identity color of the empire, based on the mIDColorID field.

ColorIDs equal or greater than 0x53DBCF1 are cached, and colorID - 0x53DBCF1 is an index to the real color stored in animations~!ui.prop in IdentityColors property. 0x53DBCF1 is special and uses the empire species identity color, instead of the color on the list. If the ID less than 0x53DBCF1, the color will be recalculated, cached, and the ID will be updated.
