[SCR][05.04.2010] Transporter-Trade [v1.1]

[Toastysoul]

I cant seem to get this to work, no menu item shows up.

I know this is an old topic, but I ran into the same problem, and thought I'd post in it so the next guy isn't scratching his head.

You need to be within 5km for the script to work, there is no error message if you aren't within range. The script is a little rough TBH, but functional if you are doing it right.

Not possible...

It is possible but it’s a bit of a work around.

Simply create a dummy player owner TS at the station, use that to trade with the station, then destroy once you have completed the trade and transfer of ware to the desired ship.

FDN uses this approach to trade, the Nodes are set as the dummy TS home base so the money comes from the station, not the player account. I can get high trade rank and race ranks without ever setting up a TS or UT.


Nice script by the way

Since I am pretty well exclusively an M2 driver these days, this sounds like a great idea.

A good thing for CAP ships.

Is it possible that trade with station just like docking condition? Press shortcut d, pop-up the goods menu without using command console.

This will save time much, no longer need docking-buy and docking-sell any more

Is this compatible with AP?

[jack775544]

As a rule most scripts are compatible with AP if they worked in TC.

Trying this with X3 AP and Cycrow's Cheat Collection Package installed.

Generally it works OK. Two problems I noticed are
- Sometimes it is not possible to get to within 5km of a station (generally big Terran stations). Luckily the big stations can often be docked with with a TL so no biggie.
- You (sometimes?) can't trade with Pirate Bases. I think this has to do with Pirate Bases allowing you to dock and trade even when Pirates in general hate you.

[EDIT]

Another small bug. Sometimes it fails to check the quantity of product you have in freight and transfers the maximum amount.
e.g. If you have 9000 energy cells and you change amount to 12341234 it should drop that to the actual value, but sometimes it seems to ignore that and transfers more than you have (e.g. 25000 to a large mine). Possibly an overflow problem?

can't understand why i can't get the "transporter trade" command ???



do i need something special ?

(tried with a TL full set)


any clue ?


thanks

Are you playing X3TC or X3AP? If the latter, make sure to unpack the files to your X3 Terran Conflict\addon folder.

i play X3 tc , do i have to run it with the Script editor or something ?

thanks

[X2-Illuminatus]

Your game should be set to modified. If this script doesn't do this on its own and your game isn't already set to modified, then yes you need to activate the Script Editor and save/reload your game.

Anyone got the file for this? Link appears to be broken.

[Norm49]

Yes the links are broken did some one can make a new one?

Before I go willy nilly testing things and possible breaking things, will this be compatible with litcube's universe?

I'm running latest X3 TC + X-tended mod.
Using TL Mammoth with Cargo transporter, Transporter, Trading system extention and a lot of other upgrades.
Installed mod via X Universe plugin manager lite.

Still can't find how to use this mod in game? I got no new options neither in right click on small stations, nor via command console for my ship in Trade section. Only vanilla "transfer freight with cargo drones" is there.

EDIT: Silly me, i had to buy new ship upgrade from teladi first.
