Thanks Walterses, switching to the 1.7 mod worked. I think the script might have been telling the ship to go fill up on ecells so that's fixed now.

I switched over to a Magnetar and the repair lasers are mounted in its front turrets. That's working just fine for me.

BTW installing the 1.7 mod after having run the 1.5 script did NOT increase the price of the RLs. They're still 64cr and available by the thousands in every trading station in the universe.

I've had the spk installed since I started my game, but repair lasers are cheap for me as well, for some reason.

Edit: That could have something to do with the spk having not actually installed the mod. Hrm. I'm manually putting it in as a false patch now to see if that fixes it.[/i]

lol ok ill sy so again, this is an awsome idea and works great but it still needs some things down.. like the abiltiy to control a wing as in a repair ships comands.. (i have a wing with 3 corvettes serving as my repair wing but there isnt a control/comand in wing.. so i have to go into each ships cc and get them to repair.. takes a long time)

and turret controls/commands lol so instead of 'protect ship' i can set turrets to 'repair friendly' or something :s
Would someone kill those dam fighters all ready? Those flack cannons are giving me a headache :s

@Graxster

Perhaps you can design a new Mod for TC:2.x ?
Or can I just transfer the Repairlaser changes you made in "old" TLaser into the 2.0 TLaser, while using the old scripts (V1.7). :?:
Cause I like my repairships.

(Sorry, my english.....)

EDIT: 6.4
I´ve done it on my own now. No change in the TLASER in 2.0a, so just copy and paste. (also fakepatch possible)
***modified*** und............geht auch nicht anders.

Thanks!

1. Use the Plugin Manager.

2. Select the 'install new package' option.

3.Find the .spk file you wish to install.

4.Double click the .spk file you downloaded.

5.Done.

ok im not sure i did it the right way. i downloaded the plugin manager and downloaded the script for the easyer repair laser (the one which just adds the RL to stations, no factories or AI). i installed it using the pulgin manager and then it said that i didnt activate the script editor in game. loaded up the game and did the "Thereshallbewings" thing and activated it. didnt find RLs at stations so i exited out of the game and loaded up plug in manager and it still showed that the RL script is not signed. so.....

now what?

Ok then start from the beginning only rename your pilot to Thereshallbewings then save the game, and then go through the steps I wrote previously.

Why wouldnt you use the mod that adds the stations?

This mod doesnot conflicts with 2.1.

The only thing to do is - change the settings in the new TLaser for the repair laser. Cause the TLaser is the only file in the .cat
Try out the ModManager and make 3 or 4 small changes. It works !

Thanks, I'll give it a shot..

So I opened the cat file with all the lasers but I have no idea what values im supposed to tweak for the repair laser :?

this is it if im not mistaken

27;299;0.100000;0.100000;0;SG_LASER_SPECIAL;6713;200;960;35;8000;0.010000;ICON_LASER_REPAIR;2;7440;18;1;2;8760;3350;0;0;SS_LASER_REPAIR;

@ Mojo00
Check out this and this. These tools will bring the solution. (Or at least light into the dark :wink: )

U have to compare the entrys of the mod file with the entrys of the latest TLaser which is in the .cat with the highest number. Then write the values form the mod file into the game file. OK ?

I think I did everything right and loaded my game to see the lasers working and Crystal fabs L in the shipyard. Thanks! ...now I still have to figure out the wheat-making crystal fabs issue, weeee.
