i managed to pick up a few mechanics with my freighter but after docking that with my carrier i cant find a way to transfer the mechanics to the carrier. how do i take them off? right now they are staying on the freighter and i couldnt find a way using codas.

xWolfzx:
I don't use carriers which can dock TS by myself so I can't talk about my own experience. But in beta.24 a new option got added to choose if tenders should dock at a carrier if it is able to carry TS. So I guess this case should be taken into account when adding tenders or having them docked.

Because of your phrasing (... would not be able ...) I'm not sure if you already tested or you just think there will be a problem. On the other hand, you wrote you have already used this option so I think you already did test.

I will talk to Lucike again.

DrwHem:
Mechanics just have to be in the cargobay, so you can simple transfer them with the ware transfer option like any other people too. Be aware of needing a cargo bay life support system, else the people in the cargo bay will die and dissapear

Hi,

I need a tip on how to reassign awares to the tender.

The option seem to have disapeared from the tender admin menu... so I got the tender fecthing the few awares I set at beginning and I don't seem able to change that. Thanks

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Tue, 29. Sep 09, 11:42

Don't you have that menu?

Note the "- Add/Remove -" at every tender or also the "Delete list" option at the bottom to delete the whole list?

Or there may be only the tenders missing in this menu?

xWolfzx wrote:There seems to be a slight compatiblilty problem with Alkeena's BSD mod, i set my TS to follow my M1 (a Raptor) thus due to the docking changes, the TS is able to dock at my M1. But if the TS docks, i would not be able to assign it as a Tender unless i assign it BEFORE it docks. The similiar issue occurs with corvettes as well.

Another Tender issue that arises from that is that if my tender docks with my M1, my supply tender would not be able to transfer goods to my tender anymore. (I docked my tender via 'the tender to dock at the carrier' option)

Yes, there is a issue with docked TS and M6. I work on it.

Oops, should have used 'was not able to' instead, sorry.

Anyway, regarding the first issue, i re-tested it again using the option for tender to dock at the carrier and i'm now able to add the TS into my tender fleet, thanks. It might still be better if CODEA is able to detect my dock tender even if that option is switched off so that i will not need to switch it on, add my TS to my tender fleet and switch it off again. (Due the to below mention issue)

For the second issue, i've tested it again and it seems that as long as my tender is docked in my carrier, my supply tender will not be able to transfer the wares over to my docked tender.

I appreciate all the hard work Lucike has put into this script, and am currently using an older version. However, I do not use MEFOS, or the Tenders, or dock M6s, etc... I just use if for automating fighter response for combat, which is excellent!

I was wondering Lucike, would you consider making a CODEA LIGHT for users such as myself? Not sure how many others like me are out there, but I suspect there may be a few. This 'light' version would use only the scripts needed to support carrier fighter operations.

Anyway, it's just a thought. Hope the bug-hunting is going well

As it seems to be complete and only needs to get up-to-date (which means translating the missing changelog

) I will open a MEFOS Weapon System thread soon too. I already talked about with Lucike and he agreed.

-- edit --
Topic for MEFOS started: [SCR/AL] MEFOS Weapon System [09-09-20.09 X3TC 3.beta.05]

chaosras:
I used CODEA only with fighters, bombers and tenders for a long time. Just bought two corvettes, no other fleet-managment or docking TS are used by me and the handling is in my opinion just fine.

A CODEA light, may there will be once one ... not for the player, but for A.I.

About MEFOS: Lucike is already working (as you will see in the changelog for MEFOS) to seperate the personnel-thing from MEFOS, so one day you will not have to install MEFOS anymore, if you don't want to use it itself.

Hi Saetan,

That is the correct menu, my TDR menu only has the following options

Refuge station
Supply Station
Tender Administration

The other 2 options of managing awares don't appear after I add the awares and tender started to work. The awares I initially gave were:

Energy cells carrier 2500/ tender 0
Skilworm 900 / tender 0
Wasp 500 / tender 0

I tried the delete list; assign the Tender to other carrier and also tried removing the Tender and set it back again but no luck.

It carries on fetching those wares

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Wed, 30. Sep 09, 15:04

Did you anything change at the tenders themselves? Gave them sometime ago commands by hand, assign them to a other carrier?

To me it seams as the carrier has lost them. But the tenders can't get assigned because they are still assigned (to a other?) carrier.

Maybe it would help to stop CODEA at your carrier and restart it again.

There is no tender reset as far as I know, only one for fighters already. But there will be a reset of the whole carrier in one of the next versions.

mpcribeiro · Post by **mpcribeiro** » Wed, 30. Sep 09, 18:20

Hi,

Yeah I tried that as well, the stop/start CODEA on the carrier that has the tender but nothing. Tender carry on as normal populating the carrier with the awares requested. All the commands were through the menu to assign to other carriers... also tried commanding it manually just to see if forcing CODEA to re-order the tender would give the menu options back. Oh btw it jumped once or twice after that it just flys through the sectors.

Ok I'll scrap this tender to get another one, no worries. Thanks

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Wed, 30. Sep 09, 20:05

If not already done yet, you could also try to set him a new "follow me" command. May this would help to get him recognized again. Forgot to mention this suggestion in the last post.

Quick question, does codea work with MARS?

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Sat, 3. Oct 09, 17:44

It does ... only restriction ... if using drones, you may won't be able to show the personnel information but only get blank messages into you logbook then. It's a incompliance which is known since the last version and adressed. Don't know, if its fixed already, but there's no info about in the changelog. So I guess it's not fixed yet.

Disabling the drones helps to avoid this bug. As a workaround it should work to deactivate the drones before and reactivate the drones after needed to view the personnel information.

Just test if you will find that bug, and if so, try this workaround.

Duzzit · Post by **Duzzit** » Sun, 4. Oct 09, 16:02

one more question <.< I can't seem to get any other ships assigned to the battlegroup(I guess?) as in, i can assign fighters to my personal carrier, and they carry out commands etc, but is there any way for my destroyer(boreas) to follow me/react to codea's commands?

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Sun, 4. Oct 09, 18:50

Duzzit:

M2 can be added to the battle group too. Sure your boreas has the needed equipment, has not the forbidden equipment, is armed, has a pilot with a rank of at least captain and it follows your carrier?

Then it should be able to get added, else it won't get recognized.

You think about that:
