[SCRIPT: Upd 09/02] Rename ships with Expression 1.7 (RSwE) New links

Theutus · Post by **Theutus** » Tue, 19. Oct 10, 14:04

I love this! Please excuse my ignorance, but I only see the option to rename sector/ universe when I access my property commands... where do I type in the specific identifiers like *TN etc...? I see no clipboard option. Thanks again, sorry for my newbieness!

Hi. Script became more buggy. I rename with exp: ( *CL ) - *TN - *NN (Sil to HUB) and == ( TS ) - Mistral Super - - 1 (Sil to HUB)1

Something like that. Last version without "a" was giving me an extra space before *NN.

I've made a temporary fix for the blank messages bug.
Soon I'll have a better fix made into a library that converts the colors and sends colored messages/questions.

@tamtam77 Thanks for pointing me into this error i fixed it directly today
above you can DL the version 1.7b

@h2o.AvA Thanks for that info i will look it up when i am back from my cristmas holidays. I am looking forward that your fix can solve the blank message bug from the original scripts.

Have nice Cristmas and a happy new year See You 2011

Sadly it isn't a fix we can implement.
It must be placed in the script sending the message.

Soo... this script is dead?

Medevel · Post by **Medevel** » Sun, 27. Feb 11, 15:28

I wont say its dead ,just unsupported and possible buggy

Yes it seems Loky isnt supporting the script atm, but that doesnt mean its dead.
The version i provided is working fine for me and since Egosoft fixed the color bug in patch X3TC 3.1, i experienced no bugs with colors anymore.
There is still some "null"-bugs but i am looking into it atm.

Like i said its working for me and i provided a download with my fixed version here or scroll some posts up

.

Not sure what you mean by "dead" it works just as intended for me. I cant tell you how happy it makes me to finally be able to color my ship/station names now that 3.1 fixes the coilor bug! And btw thanks Medevel for your "fixes"

THank you medevel

Hey Guys updated today to version 1.7c

Fixes in this version:

- Fixed the null issue hopefully the last time .
- Fixed an issue with repeating text which was not intended.
- Fixed an issue with the color in messages.
-- since patch X3TC 3.1 fixed the whole color problem all messages where painted
-- in the last used color, this was not visible prior patch X3TC 3.1.
- Fixed some Formation Expressions (e.g *FL) which
-- could not access the leaders name if the ship was not renamed with the
-- script. Now it can access all Player-ships.
- The Expressions-list still listed 2 expressions which where not uptodate:
-- *PS -> *FS : Pilot Fight Skill
-- *PM -> *PS : Pilot stats (Morale + Agression level)

As always you can download it from this post here

What a great idea. I got here from a search because I was wanting an easier way to check in on how full my Nividium rock-collecting ships were getting. In sector view, ships are sorted into alphabetical order. So I figured that if the current / recent cargospace remaining was in the name, that all I'd need to check is the top ship in the list and if it wasn't close to full then look no more. The transporter sorts in alphabetical order if multiple ships are in range, so this would work well for transferring from the ships that need it the most, whether it's Nividium or some other ware.

Medevel · Post by **Medevel** » Mon, 7. Mar 11, 10:15

hi glenmcd
this is a nice idea and it could be easily added.
But i have a few questions :

first should it show the current usage like '63% cargosspace used' or '27% cargospace free' or both with each in its own expression,

second should we use percent or units, or dynamic like above 1000 units 'percent' and below 1000 units we could use 'units'

third should there be some text like 'CS 27% free' or raw info like '27%'

wow thanks for getting back to me so quick Medevel. Considering what you said, I'd much rather have all of them available. I prefer not to have static (forced) text added on either side of dynamic text, because it makes assumptions of its usage and context. One can always add static text but cannot remove it. I'd also like to be able to display the name of the predominant ware in the cargobay. If that happens to be say 6 x 25MJ Shields, then you know that your MSF is empty

If it shows a full cargobay of ECs, you know that's the ship you commanded to head to OTAS Shipyard for fuleing new MSFs. With TLs, it's critical to know which factory it's carrying, and when no factory, how many ECs remain. M8s may tell you how many missiles of some particular type remain. Your M3s might show you how much Energy Bolt Chaingun ammunition remains. And if no ammo then it may drop back to showing say 3 x EBC weapons. Continuing with this focus on the ware taking up the most cargospaces, support a dynamic number with refers to what percentage of the cargobay is used for this ware, compared to maximum possible, given that cargobays nearly always contains other boring stuff such as shields, weapons, missiles and ECs. But these boring things never take up more than 50 percent, and hence will never show in the name, unless the cargobay has nothing "exciting" in it, like 9,124 units of Space Fuel. Some may want text color changes based on cargobay contents, but I'd probably be focussed more on a sorted list. Someone that ships a lot of illegal items for example, might want any ship which is carrying illegal wares to be some unique color. These ships are vulnerable and so deserve closer attention. I never bother with illegal stuff (any more) so this wouldn't get used by me at this time.
