AL Plugin : Treasurehunt Redux 1.1 20.3.07

[asmondar]

You are right, for some reason I was dividing by 100 not 1000. So, it looks like the treasures are spawned somewhere between Max -80 to +80x -80 to +80 z and -25 to +25y argh. Why can't I find these things then lol

[mrjingo]

interestingly enough, i just finished re-writing this script yesterday and it's in testing mode as we speak, the "ping" has been changed to pretty much as you have asked for and i've just got a few tweaks to add to the code as every ship found in thunt is not a freebie. also the uninstall has been written so there are no more freezes

any idea when this version will be ready? I'm really looking forward to this

[LV]

it's ready bar not having access to x3 to upgrade and test it, but thankfully i recieved a call from my insurance today stating my replacement would be ready in 5-10 working days

[asmondar]

so, sometime in the future, when your new comp gets in and all, we will be receiving an update that helps out with the finding of these things the pirates tell us about.

Is it a "radar" ping thing because I guess I need all the help I can get lol.

I've gotten a couple of these msg's and have gone looking but I can't seem to find anything. I've swept this one sector about 4 times so far. starting at 0,0,0 with 100 and 5, then moving to 0,15,0 at 100 and 5 and now I'm at 0,25,0 at 100 and 5. and nothing so far. I'll do one more up and then start going - on the y but omg so hard to find things.

Using the Explorer software makes it easier, or it would if I could find it.

How close do i have to be in order to see a crate/object? I didn't see it in here but I may have accidently skipped over the post.

[exelsiar]

hello all, thought i'd just let yee know of a strange little thing that happened to me with one of the random BBS's from the old retiring treasure hunter; for about 150k i managed to get the location of something deep in the orbit of a planet!

also thought i'd point out the occasional Unknown Object that comes up as a name for the BBS treasure hunter, tho i get that with a lot of things, would love to find out what it is >_<

AL Plugin :
Name : Treasurehunt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description : AL Plugin providing hidden objects in the universe
Version : 1.0 REDUX (1.4)

Author : LV

Treasurehunt.

Cycrow Installer download
[ external image ]

Install by extracting into your main x3 directory.

This AL plugin will create hidden ships and wares around the universe, They are not in specific locations which will allow you to cheat or look at a guide to get free money and are imperially programmed.

Finding a ship and claiming it is exactly the same as the stock method (spacesuit)

Players will need to be aware that not all ships lying dead in space are there for the taking and the word possum spring to mind

Information as to the whereabouts of valueable bounty is also available through acts of protection or mercy in rare circumstances but for the majority of the time exploration will be needed

With each find your experience will grow and the rewards will also.

New In REDUX

The bounty is gets better the more you find as does the peril of your search.

Combat and/or trade veterens will no longer be rewarded with worthless items

Being generous to lifeforms you are not aquainted with by sharing your equipment and upgrades may bring direction to your searches if your generous enough but you'll need a fast ship.

alot of tweaks and fixes that are pointless to go into


To disable the plugin go into your Artificial Life setting and set it from Yes to No.

If you are having trouble getting this script to run Read Here and also the numerous "why won't my script run" questions Here

Installinggggg..

Thx LV.

A great add. Dont go out without it!

[fredmxm354]

Great!

I have to say the "no pilot ships" FLYING around are a pain to claim, I've come across 8 of them and capped only 1, amazingly hard

Other than these freebies, I haven't had any pirate beg for mercy, except the fleet of Pirate Falcons that have been abandoned during combat but they don't give me any info.

Anyway, great extra

First comments on the Redux.

Spoiler

Show

Without doing anything, every 30 minutes or so I get a message saying that I reached Treasurehunter status and to check the pirate sectors for new stations. This has revealed me in the map all unknown and pirate sectors with such stations, even if I havent discovered those stations yet.

Is this normal? sounds like buggy.

[LV]

Without doing anything.......

boooooooolax

i knew i'd leave debug code somewhere

download pack now fixed although it looks like you have a freebie there unless you can go back to an earlier save

[fredmxm354]

Woohoo!

I just had my first plead for mercy, along with info I just picked up a almost pristine nova

Maybe I should use my PBE's more often until now I've only been using AHEPTs

My view has changed on this, its not great its awesome

[LV]

please also delete what they are in your thread above are for future users

[Arkblade]

hi,
i can't run Treasurehunt redux. Treasurehunt 1.3 can runnning.
Even if all plugin except Bonus pack are deleted, this plugin can't run.


and there is no reaction if setup.lv.thunt.xml run in the script editor.
Of course, Treasurehunt doesn't appear to the item of Al Plugin...


i use other plugin/script:
Bonus pack 3.1.05

ok, It solved.
some playtime is necessary for beginning this plugin.

LV, if this is a specification,
please will you add a note of caution?


edit LV

--

you just did for me, most AL plugins take time to get going, it's intentional, patience grasshopper

[R.Bootneck]

Possible bug (or feature depending on your point of view )

Game versio 2.0.0.2
Non plot start (BA)
only other AL script activated :- Cycrows G15 LCD Appelet
ALscripts installed NEVER activated .. All Cycrows Guilds incl Military
EMP as well


All the pandora tunings, and what appear to be the Egosoft Treasure hunt items (BBS msgs from nutty Boron archeolgist) appear on on the gravidat regardless of how far out they are, as soon as you clear your target sensors and set the targeting computer to scan (t)

i.e I entered a sector never yet visited in this new game, and the engine/rudder tunings were picked up by betty an anounced straightaway even though they were 150+km away

And odd crates of items like 43k warheads, or 100+ missiles etc from the Ego BBS missions.



FWIW, this is a tertiary new game install patched etc with only scripts above activate ... strange huh ?

[fredmxm354]

I was in Thyn's Abyss and had "Engine Tuning" appear in my reticule and it was 220k away, tried ignoring it, but every time I entered the sector it jumped to the engine tunings till I collected them.

Similar items have spawned in Xenon Sector 347 & 101 also Kingdom End & Ore Belt.

Exploring some more sectors to see if it happens more

[LV]

no need another piece of debug code i left in to help my find things, fixing now......

[Gazz]

Yeah, I found it pretty convenient that a dead-in-the-water K appeared on my target. =)

[LV]

nearly ready just trying to figure out why i have concussion generators on map when none of my thunt items are showing, could be my cheatscripts though.

fixed version tommorow

[LV]

Ok updated to 1.1 (see OP)

all debug txt entries and tracking aim (cheats) removed


please uninstall version 1 before setting the plugin to enabled again, this should remove all the freebies you guys were shown and respawn them and stop anything wierd from happening.

recommended uninstall wait is 1 game hour from disabling the plugin
