[SCRIPT] Advanced Mineral Scanner v1.31 09/12/06

[A dJ]

1) Sorry can't be of help here as I've not played with any patch >1.3 yet.
2) I'm not so sure about this, but I'm certain there's nothing in the script that should cause that to happen.
3) Basicly no you don't need to buy the original, I would only install it if I were going to do mobile mining.
4) I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Yet another oddity has surfaced (you'll be glad to know ). After buying the adv. scanner and failing to get it to work I was flying around doing nothing in particular when I espied two Pirate Falcons. I'll have those I thought and slipped in behind the first one Got real close in my Mako and let him have it... except there wasn't anything to have, no weapon fire. Tried the Ctrl key, nothing. Mouse button the same. Then I crashed into the back of him, that got his attention! Jumped out of there and tried all the fire buttons again, nothing.

Re-loaded the game tried to fire and nothing. So went back to a save before buying the adv. scanner and got weapons firing. Dunno what's going on but it may be that 1.4.3 isn't compatible with the script in some way?

Can't find this jobbie anywhere at the moment. I've checked Ceo's Buckzoid, Siezewell and a few others. Those two are on the list of "location" but I can't find the scanner anywhere. The AL setting is there so the scanner MUST be installed, just can't find it in a single system!

[RRRoamer]

So does anyone know if this works with 2.0? I had it installed and working correctly, but once I installed 2.0, it was gone. Not a trace of it in my game.

Before I just reinstall it, I want to verify that it does work with the newest version of X3.

[Die Wurst]

Any news on weather this works with the 2.0.2 patch or not?

[Stevio]

yes i am using it and it works fine

Updated.

Check the opening post for details.

[Solfi]

If I'm reading that first post right, then after you activate this scanner in the AL settings, the scanner is always on, as long as you are traveling at below the given speed threshold. Is this correct?

How do you get the results? Message? Or do the asteroids in range simply show the correct information when targetted?

[A dJ]

Turning it off should display a message, but it seems I made a mistake and didn't add the new al.adj.advminscan.main.xml file. And now I overwritten the new one.

Hang on while I fix it.

Edit: fixed. update via script installer.
Edit2:Asteroids get scanned as long as one or more of your ships with an advanced mineral scanner installed are in within scanners reach and flying below 35km/h. The advanced mineral scanner has to be enabled for this.

This worked awesome as soon as I reversed the speed requirements so my ships could go full speed.

Using it in conjunction with the Explorer Software's "Scan Asteroids" script, I was able to get places like Savage Spur scanned in a matter of a few minutes. Got about 6 ships equipped with this, and on orders to contact me when their current task is finished. Already have half the universe scanned in about 30 minutes. I don't normally mind doing all the usual things when I start a new game, but re-scanning every asteroid in the universe is not one of my favorite things to do.

I would like to know where to find this equipment too?

I use XTM and scanned all mentioned above stations without any success.

Any hint what I could do ?

Thanks in advance

I've used this script since it's release and have never had any issues with it. I also use XTM and can always find the AMS in 2 of the Teladi Equipment Docks. The selling location varies with every game tho.

You'll have to go to all the Teladi Dock's to find it.
