Thanks for your reply. :)
Have you seen my last edit about the missing ATF ships?

Edit:
It would also nice if I'm able to select "Any" in the class selection - this would be useful if I want to have a complete ship list which could use a certain weapon like gauss cannons, for example.

Regarding ATF ships I would suppose its because you don't have a known location for an ATF shipyard. In spoiler mode, the fact that you don't know where to purchase the ship isn't a limitation. Regarding the suggestion I cannot suggest a work around at this time. Specifically with Gauss cannons I guess most players should know that it is an M7+ weapon.

I won't rule out the addition to bypass the class filter, but I would need to test the impact of less ideal scenarios like if you had no filters chosen and you selected any ship. Would it crash, lock-up, etc. You probably don't realize that the class filter serves a purpose to limit the number of ships that need to be deeply inspected by only attempting to evaluate ships in a given class at a single query.. At the very least it would take much longer than you would want to examine every ship in the game.

I already bought ATF ships on their shipyards in The Moon (AGI Task Force Headquarters) and ATF Forseti (AGI Task Force Flight School), so I do know their yards.

I'll look into it. I have a few ideas what might be going wrong but it may be a few days before I can setup an XRM game to go look for it. I think you've given me the info I need to start investigating though. Let me know if you notice anything else missing.

Thank you for letting me know about those problems BlackArchon. The issues with ATF ships and the German language file should be corrected in the 1.1 release which is available for download now.

For the 1.1 version I also changed the rules a little bit so knowing about the ship was enough to make it show in the ship browser. This brings the behavior of the mod in line with what I think most players would expect.

I'll test it (X3AP/XRM/Linux) when I get back home.

I just tested your version 1.1 and I can see ATF ships now. Thanks! :)

Is there a way to directly open the corresponding encyclopedia entry of the selected ship? I would find this very useful.

Yes, I third it.. now we just have to convince Egosoft to make it possible. :D AFAIK there isn't currently a way for scripts to open encyclopedia entries.

The next version should have an alternative custom ship details screen that works rather nice.

Current version works like a champ.
Will be happy to test the next one :)

The new version is out! It fixes a bug with Transport Classes in Vanilla showing XRM values. Also, it also adds marine count and hull hp values to the comparision screen. But the best part is the new ship information screen. It will make you want to ditch that old encyclopedia screen.

Welcome

I'm using this script from the beginning (Litcube show something similar for his LU at the same time) and it was very useful tool for my little empire 8).
But now this is something what everybody should have, especially if he/she play modified game with many many ships.
Information screen - this is M A S T E R P I E C E, it's working like charm especially when you find\board ship and start planning his armament.

Idiotic question: How do I access the information page?
I get the main page al-right, I can sort and navigate, but I cannot "select" the ship in-order to get the additional information.
I tried Enter, space, double-click, nada.

X3AP/Linux w/ XRM.

Thanks,

Hello Gilboa,

In the screenshots on the intro post you should actually see 'Ship Browser v1.2' as the title for the window if you are running the latest version. If you are running v1.2 then you can select a ship shown in your Ship Browser results by clicking/pressing enter on that ship and it will bring up a Ship Details sub menu.

Yeah I'm pretty psyched up about it too. The next revision which I'll start working on in next week should improve the concept further.

I notice you are running Linux in your sig, is it possible you are not using AP v3.0? If your running an older AP that could be an issue.

Hi,

Linux has the latest X3AP version: 3.1.2013.
I'll double check if the title of the ship browser has 1.2 in it...

Thanks again for the help.
