[Script] Steal Wares Commands v1.11 [Update 1.11 on 19/02/06]

Chewhacca · Post by **Chewhacca** » Sun, 9. Jul 06, 06:06

Total noob with a problem.

After installing it and getting the necessary upgrades to make it work, I go to the piracy menu and i get a message saying "ReadText2010-618".

Any idea how to fix this?

Genoce:
1 - See above
2 - You might have been out of range of the target ship depending on the ware and quantity you're trying to take

Chewhacca: Sounds like a missing text file error. Does the text file (448112.xml) exist in the X3 Reunion\t folder?

Just dl the zip version an checked the t file:

Code: Select all

<page id="2010" title="Script Cmd Names" descr="">
		<t id="616">Steal Wares: Station</t>
		<t id="617">Steal Wares: Target</t>
		<t id="719">Bulk Freight Transport</t>
		<t id="742">GalNet: Upload Preferences</t>
		<t id="1122">Commission Auction: Ware [10.000Cr + 2%]</t>
		<t id="1123">Commission Auction: Station [100.000Cr +2%]</t>

as U can see, it#s quite clear, why U get this ReadText2010-618
2010: id="2010" OK
618: within the 2010: id="618" missing !!!

Seems as the language file isn't updated to fit in into the "core" script using this id, so there's nothing U can do exept of fixing the language file and adding it by your own like this

Code: Select all

<t id="618">Input text here what U wanna read insted of ReadText2010-618</t>

No, just testest it. The id is missing inside the 448112.xml (at least for the zip-version at the first post of this topic

)

BTW: What's the missing text for?
If U just would post this short missing "text message" for id 618 , everybody could fix the language file by his own, until the file is fixed in the dl.

Oops!!!!

Good spot Mike.Galaxy

In one of the last updates I changed the command numbers to incorporate an extra command.

From what I remember it should be:

Code: Select all

      <t id="616">Steal Wares: Station</t> 
      <t id="617">Steal Wares: Station</t> 
      <t id="618">Steal Wares: Target</t>

Might have to make some time to give this script a proper update.[/code]

Thanks for the help guys. I'll just grab an xml editor and fix that.

hey al_main!

great script idea. i was very excited to get it downloaded and give it a try, but apon doing so, i ran into the same problem as it seems a few others are having. i move in to within a few hundred ms from the target, bring up the menu and all it shows is my own ships in the sector. i do have a freight scanner installed and i tried it with and without police license(just in case it would make a difference)/ with and without scanning before hand. i even tried reinstalling x3, updating to 1.403 and just this script to see if it was possibly another script interfering but i ran into the same problem. i tried it on multiple ships in multiple sectors and had no luck.

i read through this thread and saw that you have put this script on the backburner.
it's really an excellent idea and i'd love to see it working.

could you give me/us an idea of when/if you plan to get back to this script?

thanx in advance! =)

Pitty, this could be such a great script. Nothing is worse than to create an expectation and not living up to it.

Sorry to hear you are so busy.

This thing doesnt seem to be working..I have all the required items installed,are there restrictions as to what ship or station the wares can be stolen from?

and nevermind as I just read the post above mine..

When I attempt to use the ware, an input string command box pops up, and typing anything in doesn't seem to have any effect. I was wondering if anyone had posted any fixes or if there were any other mods that allow you to use the bulk transporter to steal from ships.

(To whoever moved this, I realise it was supposed to go here, but I didn't want to bump a 3/4ths year old post)

Cartel Shield Hacker (also part of the latest bonus pack) allows you to steal from ships.

As for the input string, it's probably asking for a "b" or "s" so it knows if you're trying to buy or sell.

edit: well, hmm... the steal wares command shouldn't even be asking for a string. Are you using the steal wares station/target commands or trying to use the Bulk transporter upgrade command on a target ship?

warhamma · Post by **warhamma** » Wed, 27. Jun 07, 08:59

Trying to use the steal wares part, I go to commands:Piracy:steal wares: and select the ship in the sector, (I'm inside of 5km) and input string comes up. I tried typing one and it says "Command failed, Target does not have any "1" in it's cargobay" or something to that effect. If I try typing in what I want verbatim, it just says autopilot activated and nothing happens.

I'll try out that cartel mod, see if that works.
