[Script] Factory Complex Constructor [4.02]

Tritous · Post by **Tritous** » Tue, 18. Oct 11, 19:22

Ah, good so it does exist for TC too. I'll be adding this right away, I had to make my own temporary script in the meantime and it just wasn't the same manually inputting coordinates compared to carefully moving it around realtime.

Now I can get back to my real plan....Overloading the game economy with my 350+ fab hypercomplexes!

I have bee using FCC for a long time and it really works good and I like it (v 4.01)
I just recently installed Litcube's mod for Saturn Complex which does not work for me. Litcube says it may possibly be a conflict with another script. Since FCC is the only other script, has anyone else tried it along with the Saturn Complex script and experience problems, and also, how do I uninstall the FCC script? There are many files with FCC and if done manually I will probably not uninstall it correctly.
You can read details about my 'script conflict'(?) in the most recent postings under Litcubs's thread for the Saturn Complex Hub script forum.
(here: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... &start=165)

Thanks in advance

Read the manual, which is linked as a separate pdf-Download in the first post, for uninstall information.

For your problem, I don't use Saturns Complex Hub but I can't see a reason, why FCC should conflict the hub if you didn't build it via FCC. If you build it with FCC you can try to build a new one without using FCC but the regular commands.

hey thanks for this great script

was just wondering is there a way to change the constant safety distance FCC uses? when placing my stations that distance is quite far.

This script would be great in AP, the the default station building corp in the bonus pack is rather.... limited.

Could anyone patch this for AP?

This seems to work in AP, but for some strange reason some of the hotkeys are missing?

Anyone got any idea how to fix this?

Why did the OP remove his first post?

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Sat, 21. Jan 12, 23:48

He didn't, it's there .... check your browser settings or try another one.

I second this! Would love to get this working in AP!

I am having problems with the hotkeys as well. Not just with this script though.
I think AP will only let you have a certain number of hotkeys before it starts removing them.

On another note. Great script. Would it be possible to make it extend the axis of the connection points with a line or something to make it easier to align the connection tubes?

This works for X3: Albion Prelude 2.0?

Post by **X2-Illuminatus** » Wed, 4. Apr 12, 18:53

If you read the posts on the last page of this topic, you'll notice that according to other users it seems to work in X3AP, but there are some problems with the hotkeys.

I've heard that this script has issues with ship packs and some scripts in TC. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

So, i've setup the hotkeys, placed a station (both massom mill and a silicon mine) now i targeted one of the station (both are not yet connected), unfixed it and try to rotate it. I only get a negative beeping sound. Why?

Both stations do this...

Edit:
Nvm, found out you have to open the sector window 1st...

Edit2: New question:
In the manual, chapter 6.1, is a hyperlink to http://www.komplexbaugilde.de/. This link doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have a similar guide/list? I'm not just satisfied with some tubes, they need to be straight and orderly ect. For that i need to know the node points on the stations.

I have no problems with the bindings, in fact they work just fine after messing with them.

However, no idea why the constant warning beep is going off, looking at it in sector map or without it after I unlock a station to be moved, almost the most annoying sound in the world until I have to mute it just to continue, but then the audio ques are gone when other things are happening, and well, you know how builders go, they lose themselves dropping stations all over the place.

Hmm, strange problem indeed.

Could also be I didn't start a fresh game after installing this, but damn, I'm just too far along at this point, I would quit again for another year and by that time rebirth should be out. Cause...slowly but surely taking over argon sectors.

For me it's not working out so much. I'm trying to place TC nividium mines, and what ever input I place for the offset, it's never working stating that there's a proximity alert.

It's like it's not taking into account the true size of the mine for the offset.

The issue with factories that require a asteroid, you have to use the "vanilla" feature of placing the mine onto the asteroid, then you can move it around with FCC. That's how it is with Silicon, Ore and Water Mines, in any case.
