I had decided the abandon this script due another user making a ware/station auction script plus with my job i bearly have time to view these boards anymore.

I do know it dose produce a readtext and at the time was unable to figure out what the problem was. I do have a theory. in the 497391.xml the file reads "<language id="44">" try changing that to "<language id="49">" I believe this is causeing X3 to say what the heck and produce the readtext error.

Note: i havent tried this so may not fix problem.

Isn't real life a bitch? :D


Cool. I know what the command is (tho it's the read-text). Maybe I'll look at that xml file. Cheers.

I'm sure I am overlooking something, but I cannot find the sell command anywhere. I used the Script Installer to install it, and it appears to be installed properly (as far as the installer reports), but I cannot seem to locate the command.

I looked (as per the description in the first post) under the orders menu for the station. This brings up the stations command console. No sell option. Selecting one of the command slots only allows me "none" and the auto fund transfer thing.

There's a mess-up in the seller script. The command/button will be read-text #####. The seller script/command works. It won't work on complexes tho. You'll have to shoot/destroy the hub to separate the factories.

One other note: when you do sell a station, it will first seem like you're locked out of control with on-screen stuff. Just hit "i" and it will restore things. I think it's another issue he had with the script.

It does work tho. I use it from time to time. I may fiddle with it.

OK. So...back to my actual question:

Where is it?

I do not see ANY command button. Either with "readtext" or anything else. I'm sure I could've figured out that the new button saying "readtext" that suddenly manifested itself after I installed the script was the one I was looking for...

Eh, target a station, hit "I", then "Commands". If it's not there, it didn't instlall properly.


Sorry to have wasted your time in the previous reply.

OK, Thank you. You didn't waste my time, sorry if I sounded unappreciative.

A-ha! I hadn't saved the game after starting the script editor, so when I went back to try it...it wasnt enabled. Works now tho. Thx!

No. Another way to do it, is to select the station via the sector map. Once selected, go to "orders" (c key I think). There it'll show a few command buttons, click one, this should show all the commands available. I think the station seller also comes with the auto-transfer to account command.


It should be in there. The seller script will be showns as "read-text ###-####" (etc).

Yep...all set. See my edited post above. Thanks again!

Could u make a version where the stations that are sold wont be destroyed, but change to the race that bought it?

I would like that,

sell a station, get payed, destroy station :twisted: piss that race off

The script doesn't quite work like that. It basically destroys the station, then credits your account with the amount it fomulates. There's no actual ownership per se.


It could prolly be done, but I'm not sure why. :)

This script doesn't seem to work properly for me.

It never sells the station, just says incoming message and then the game locks up so i can't get into the menu but can still move around like normal. Is very weird, i can't dock either so doing it one by one still won't work.

Are there any other scripts that can sell stations? Or destroy them remotely?

Clar

*edit* - The auctioning script works very well for stations so i just use that now lol.

Hi. I have used the Station Seller command last night. It works but something weird happened right after I sold one of my factories in a Boron sector. I have received an attack alert to one of my ships in Black Hole Sun. I had a check on that system as there are regular Xenon patrols in the area. I saw a fleet of hostile Argons although my reputation with Argons is very high.

Worse, they have destroyed my Cerberus (M7), my Terran Tyr (M1) and three of my M3 class fighters in a few seconds. My other ships in the fleet responded and destroyed that Argon fleet. My reputation dropped down right after. Also, I detect hostile traders and Centaurs passing by among the other allied Argon ships whick keep attacking or being attacked by my alerted fighters now. When I uninstalled the script, everything returned to normal again.

I don't know the reason so I will appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks.

Edit: I use LV's cheat script and the Xtended Mod .6b

buggy but script works if you dont mind selecting read error instead of "sell station"

also not sure if its payment system is correct, i sold a ore mine and then about 5-10 seconds later checked my funds and i had 256. I suppose its possible the money got yanked to buy station supplies by one of my transports.

Well this sounded like a great idea, but the links are dead. :(
