They just won`t jump lol
I`m using TM`s, the argon magnetar.

Sorry, ignore that solved it. Found that the claim software was showing as readtext file.
Deinstalled/reinstalled showed as named software, so now they are woring.

Anyway of getting TECSG's SCS MK1 http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=223882 intergraded into this? Cycrow's SCS hates me. Ive always had problems with his even since the x3R days :/

When I first saw that script I wondered if I would end up having to support it here... I'll try to sort out a version that supports it, hopefully soon.

lol, leave it to me to be the first one then

Key differences i guess is when you use it on a ship (within 3m) it tosses up a subtitle and automaticly sends to nearest shipyard. And it works for me, heh.

Update v1.4

Added support for TECSG's Salvage Claim Software Mk. 1 as well as Cycrow's Salvage Claim software.

I've barely tested this so please let me know if there is a problem.

V 1.4 that is the only change as my game works fine with Cycrows SCS?

Yeah, also a minor change to the order 'Strip all ships' commands takes wares from ships. But cheers for the heads-up. I haven't properly tested the compatibility with TECSG's script yet, that's all.

So it would be ok for me to extract the spk add the 'Strip All Ships' command change's and repack 1.3?

Err, if you want... The plugin should still work precisely the same as before if you just install this new version. It's just that it will work whether you use TECSG's script or Cycrow's script. Or indeed, if you use neither script (then you need the built-in, illegal, System Override Software).

TSM · Post by **TSM** » Tue, 18. Nov 08, 23:44

from your earlier post I thought you had removed support for Cycrows ScS

, if that is not the case then there is nothing to see here move along

Actually just looked at my post above and it does seem to indicate that. Edited 'instead of' to 'as well as'.

Thanks!

I think the reason why some scripts work for some and not others is XP vs Vista.

Hmm, you say it works with the illegal one, how about the one for 900k that isnt illegal but only gotten at once place? Figured id ask

Ahh, that explains something... I assume the one you are talking about is also called 'System Override Software'? If so then yes, it should work with that. There are two wares called System Override Software, so I just enabled it for both.

Thrandisher · Post by **Thrandisher** » Wed, 19. Nov 08, 02:11

Ya, software signature scrambler. think its like 932k while the system override software is like 601k.

Ok, ill get some testing done in a bit. something messed up game so its time for a reinstall and a fresh start!

Well sector collect seems to work, but universe doesnt at all.
I can manualy send the ship into the zone, hit universe then it will land at a base then go out and collect stuff in that area.

Ive had this problem for awhile, so im wondering if something else is effecting it from performing.

Last time i went and did a patrol, had lots of loot in a sector, had up adv satilites and left the area, and the ship just sat a few zones away, had the US tag on, then went standby, then put the tag back on (in current commands).

How long of a wait before it would go out?

Think any of those would effect it? I had this problem before with the last version and cycrow's SCS also. Im seeing ships also that are claimable with a long flight time. So i dont think the NPC ones are even going out. I did change the time to 20 minutes before they go out tho. Wondering if that could have confused it maybe.

ThisIsHarsh · Post by **ThisIsHarsh** » Wed, 19. Nov 08, 22:54

If it goes into Standby it means it's finished searching the universe and couldn't find anything. Then when it goes back into 'Universe salvager' mode it's started searching again. So if you see a full cycle between these two states and you're sure there is something to salvage, then there is a problem with it finding stuff.

There is no wait once it finds a ship to salvage. It will leave immediately to go to the sector and start Sector salvager.

The NPCs share some scripts with the Universe/Sector salvager commands, so if one is having problems it could affect the other, however the delay time is unrelated, so changing that won't have caused any problem.

I can't see any reason those scripts would cause a problem, but I'm unfamiliar with most of them.

I did some testing and can't find any potential issues, everything seems to work as it should.

Only thing I can immediately suggest is to uninstall and reinstall in case one of the script files wasn't updated at some point... but that's unlikely to be the problem.

If you can send me one of your savegames I'll take a look for you.

Ok! spent about 2 hours doing every test i could think of.

Code: Select all

Cheat Collection Package :: Cycrow :: Yes :: 1.41 :: 07/11/2008
Community Plugin Configuration :: Cycrow :: Yes :: 1.10 :: 28/10/2008
NPC Bailing Addon :: ThisIsHarsh :: Yes :: 1.6.1 :: 15/11/2008
Salvage Claim Software Mk. 1 :: TECSG :: Yes :: 3.04 :: 14/11/2008
Salvage Commands and NPCs :: ThisIsHarsh :: Yes :: 1.4 :: 15/11/2008

With just that and nothing else, it fails on universe salvage. I took out tecsg's one and tossed on cycrow's and it worked. One thing i did notice was tecsg's one, it would only do sector salvage and when it was going to claim a ship it would show it doing UNKNOWN COMMAND but it would claim it. The TM could be parked in a station with a sector and it would pop out and do it then return back.

Other thing i checked on was the built in ones in the game. While System override software (illegal) would work with scs and scs mk1 and without any of the 2 claiming scripts (I know there is a 3rd one but i havent tried it yet). I then tried the other built in game one, Software signature scrambler (legal but hard to get) and that would not work. I tried it with scs mk1 installed and nothing, i didnt try it with scs or no 3rd party claiming ones (figured i would get same resaults since it comes with the game).

I tried all posibilities with a clean install so as to be sure 100% there was no taint left over anywhere.

Wow, thanks a lot for all that testing, very very helpful! I have an idea now where a few of those problems could lie. I'll get on it asap. Awesome work, thanks.

As for the Software Signature Scrambler, you need to have BOTH Software Signature Scrambler AND System Override Software (one claims the ships, the other blocks police from seeing it as illegal) - AFAIK, anyway.
