spacesuit repairs
Great script, sure beats flying around with repair laser, cheers!!!
I decided that it would be cool to have the marines repair the outside of the ship as well. I liked the idea in the post earlier about 75% repairs can be done inside, but marines would need to eject to finish off repairs.
I've no idea what affect this has on performance as I don't get great performance anyway, and have only tested in 3 worlds with 3 marines in sector which is pretty chilled in my universe.
It doesn't work as a full script yet, just enough lines to prove the concept, but I thought i'd share and se if it is something you want to incorporate or I may release my own marine repair squad if not;)
Basically, the ship "spacesuit" has a repair laser, I do a script with TARGET ship for argument and order spacesuit follow that ship (it is a little supertuned) then "fire on TARGET with turret 0" in loop condition if TARGET hull is less than max hull.
Let me know if you find this useful as I think the 2 ideas combined for interior and exterior repairs is best. Otherwise I will make a marine repair squad.
Thank you very much for your script.

This is an IMMENSELY useful and "in theme" mod. Thank you!

I just downloaded this and I'm having a problem with it. It's not working and it doesn't show up in the AL menu. There seems to be a script missing from the spk.........a setup script? Can someone confirm this? In the file I downloaded there are 9 scripts and 1 T file.
On a side note, I don't use the Plugin Manager, but extract the files manually with the SPK Explorer. If I try to extract all it comes up with an error. If I select all and then extract the selected files it works. Never had this problem with any other spk.
Any help getting this to work is appreciated. Thanks!

Errrrrr, does these Marines insta-repair ships? I just captured a Xenon LX with 9% hull, and jumped out. I was about to go outside to repair it as I forgot I got marines aboard and it was magically repaired within what must have been under 30 seconds (?!?).
I thought they at least use some time to do this, or am I wrong?
EDIT: No matter, after poking around a bit I found a 15 second timer. I set it to 600 instead for me

Yeah!!! 
I got to work.
Much thanks to both of you, Legionnaire and xiriod. I followed both of your advice. I re-downloaded it and used the Plugin Manager to extract it. I think that maybe the spk explorer was corrupting one or more of the scripts when I tried to extract them since it did give me an error.
Anyway, thanks again for your help!

Great to hear!
I always extract the spk's and install the oldschool way. But that's me -

Actually, I installed it the old school way too. I just used the plugin manager to "load" it into my fake game folder, then copied just the necessary scripts and the t file and put them in my real game folder.xiriod wrote:

OOooooooookay. This mod has a weird side effect in my game. It randomly crates things like missiles and ammo on board the ships that had the marine's repair them last. This is during and after repairs are finished.
Suddenly 50 mosquito missiles show up, or chain gun ammo and such. Is this an intended feature? When I turn the marine repairs off, it stops. And if I start it again it will not continuing spawning on those ships until the marines start to repair something again.

Re: Balance.
I think the repair rates are fine...it's automatic, can be massively sped up via SETA and the player can get on with other things. I like it.
You could say that Marines have to get paid for these 'extra duties', say a few Cr. per hull repaired...I'd suggest a MUCH cheaper rate than Shipyard repairs...still, the Player can repair for free so why not Marines?
At the end of the day you've paid for the Marines and they're actively either saving you Cash or very very lengthy repairs...they're also not at risk floating around in their spacesuits like the player is while repairing.
One thing I was thinking of to 'balance' (very subjective!) was saying that the ship cannot be in combat at the time...Marines could in theory be standing by to repell potential boarding attempts...if that ever gets implemented! We already know that 10 Marines aren't really going to help if you hull is being hit by HEPT fire, let alone PPCs.
To confirm the ship is out of combat could you not simply say something like: If Shields = FULL and Weapons Energy = FULL then ship is 'safe' so begin repairs?
Just a thought.
Cheers,
Scoob.

HI tatakau!
Could you please explain how I can increase the amount of time it takes to repair a ship? Sorry for my ignorance. I suspect I need to edit an .xml file or something. Could you plese explain how I do that? Do I use notepad or wordpad? Can I do that with word?
Your script works great but the repair speed is so fast I feel like I'm cheating. I'd like something with SETA 10x enabled where you see a movment in hull intengrity every 30 seconds.
Something even cooler would be to have the marines outside of the ship and do the repairs. So you'd have to stop your ship, hit x key to launch your marines and then maybe another key to start repairs. A cool sound effect would be nice but I think that would be too much. Soo I'm rambling. Just a wa to slow the speed down would be great! Thanks!
