Thanks for the prompt reply.

I had both installed. I did follow your instruction carefully.

For some reason, when I moved the TS out of the sector I was in, it started working. My ship and the TS had to be in different sectors. It might have been something else, I'm not sure.

Brilliant piece of scripting, by-the-way.

Cheers

Right, and if the ship has not a pilot, then the ship must docked at a station.

Is there any way to make CLS mk1 recognize the HQ as a consumer? Back in Reunion, I used the Dockware Manager to limit the maximum product amounts in the HQ (so it wouldn't stock up in 500k e-cells) and the CLS mk1 to transport the wares to the HQ endlessly. The result was a fully functional ship production line that needed no user input.

I cannot select the HQ as a consumer in the TC script. Am I doing it wrong or does the script not work for that any longer? (I can select other complexes in different sectors.)

I get an error in my message box that says 'The language file of the Commodity Logistics Software does not exist!' This error happens when I start a new or save game, regardless of the version of CLS (I've tried 3.b7 and the 3.b8 from the German forum. I have the latest library files installed (3.102 I believe, from the German library files thread). The only other scripts I have going right now are the 1.4 cheat script and the EMP files.

Running the steam version 1.2.1

EDIT: Well nevermind, it works now after I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the scripts yet another time. There must have been a bad file from an old version in there somewhere that's gone now.

Yes I see. I'll change that.

@sky669: Awesome! Thanks! One question... something I can't get to work like I thought it should. I have a factory complex with 10 different weapon and shield factories. I want to transport all of them from the complex to m HQ. I added them all as Homebase products but the CLS trader seems to only trade the first one listed. His rank is Major Dealer (leveled him up using CAG). Is having one traders move all the items possible?

Thanks a ton

sky669 · Post by **sky669** » Sun, 23. Nov 08, 15:27

hi,

actually one cls pilot can handle as many products as he is able to... according to his rank. nevertheless, check also the supply conditions of producer - your complex - and consumer - hq.

for example, you have 2 PIC-factorys - is this the english word ? PIC ? the big cannon for m2 i'm talking about... - (16 products possible), and a setting from producer-storage space filled from 10%, will lead the pilot bringing pic's only to the hq, when there at least 2. because 1 is less than 10% ....

does the HQ has this product in stock? if not, he will not deliver...

and give me some minutes for updating the newest version of cls, there was also some work with the hq, what i've heard...

greets wolf

Hi,

the CLS doc says that a CLS can only use a waypoint for refuel if energy cells are a product of the station ; what about a closed loop complex, which overproduces energy cells, but shows them as 'intermediate products' (not as 'products'). Would that work for the CLS or do I have to ask him to go to a NPC SPP, where I have to pay for it ?

TSM · Post by **TSM** » Thu, 27. Nov 08, 17:08

so this could be used to say fill up the cargo hold of a TL with silicon for instance? using CLS on TS?

jlehtone · Post by **jlehtone** » Thu, 27. Nov 08, 17:22

@tontonfred: "intermediates" are wares produced by complex. I bet CLS2 refuels there just fine. Easy to test.

@TSM: Yes. In X3R I have a TS (was M6) CLS1 delivering aPBE from 8 Complexes into single Mammoth that is docked at shipyard.

And the other way too: a CLS2 TS fetches Ore from TL, that is filled by mobile miners, into Ore Mine, which sells the Ore with CAG. (But I reckon the X3TC Mobile mining is not quite up to that schema.)

TSM · Post by **TSM** » Thu, 27. Nov 08, 17:23

jlehtone wrote:@tontonfred: "intermediates" are wares produced by complex. I bet CLS2 refuels there just fine. Easy to test.

Mmmm, I seem to have a problem with setting up a CLS2 route. I have a CLS2 with the following waypoints :

1) Complex A : load max PAC, load max PRG, refuel

2) Complex B : load max 25MJ, load max CIG, load max HEPT

3) Ship TL : unload PAC/PEG/25MJ/CIG/HEPT

What happens is that the CLS is on standby, even though the stations are filling up with wares. The log seems to indicate that the refuel does work (energy cells, price ware 0 credits), but the ship won't move. The log says that the "minimum transfer of ware to fly" is 5%. However, several of the waypoints are already way over this. Am I doing something wrong ?

hi,

@tontonfred...
jlehtone bet was right. CLS can handle aswell every intermediate product. doesn't matter, if refueling or transferring to other complexes.

@tsm
yes, you can use it for filling up a TL - you must have installed a transporter on your TS, if your TL is standing in space - on idle. both CLS are working with this.

i'm just looking at your anylsis - give me a second ...
(after a short look, everything looks ok - is your TL standing in space, on idle ? if yes, your TS needs an transporter. if your TL is moving around, like on sector patrol, it will not work)...
---
while defining your waypoints, you were using the command 'loading maximum' ?
i'm not sure - i personally never worked with waypoints - just starting, but try the command 'loading up to ....'.

hope this helps
wolf

Information - libraries version info
The libraries are a collection of different 'routines' making your pilots working. It's used from CLS, CAG, EST, Mefos, SRD and Prospektor - short, most of Lucike's script. Without this libraries, you'll get an error.
Please make sure, always you are updating one of this scripts, also update this libraries...

@tontonfred:
No idea but:

1. I would rather use CLS1 ships for this "collect to TL" task. Much more efficient.
2. You are buying PRG's at price lower than your complex sells, aren't you? Could that be the show-stopper?
3. I would rather refuel as first step before loading the actual cargo.

Code: Select all

Minimum transfer of ware to fly: 5 %

Funny, I do not find a reference to such option in the CLS2 part of the OP. (Must be my "typical user"-mode of not bothering to read manuals properly.)

Hey wolf,

yes, I used load max cargo, and I think it was the problem. I tried then loading "up to 20", and the TS starting moving. What I would like to do is just tell the freighter 'load up everything in the complex and deliver it to the TL', so why isn't the max load command working ? Or rather, how should I set it up so that it works ?

Another problem with CLS2 : I set up another TS to refuel a couple of ships ; it did ok for a while as long as the ships stayed in their respective sectors. Now, I moved with 2 of the ships, and am almost empty and waiting for the TS to come refuel. However, the TS stays near the fuel depot, saying "Moving to position... <my ship>" but doesn't do anything. Here is the log (the transfer codes look funny, I asked to load 10 000, then unload 5000, 450 and 2000, but it seems to add "-10" every time)

errrrr.... now that you mention it...

I seem to remember that TLs could not be set as a customer, so maybe it was an old version (or maybe I'm just looking for excuses

)

jlehtone wrote: 2. You are buying PRG's at price lower than your complex sells, aren't you? Could that be the show-stopper?

Yes, but when using the "Load" command, that should not be a problem ; and it was not, it was the quantities that were messing up the route.

Yes it's not in the doc, and it's not clear : is it 5% of the ship's cargo bay, or the waypoint's ? Also, we should be allowed to set it to a different value, I think.
