Hi SymTec,

i installed your new version 2.6. i have bonus pack xxx.6 and XTM and now i hav no Explorer Software and no Taxi Software in any of the Teladi / Boron sector. (i have read the read me in german and i think i have understood that now there IS a Taxi Software to buy, and that it is not riquired the Explorer Software... is this right? )

Is this last script version compatible with XTM?

I had the 2.3 and was 100% compatible with XTM.
Thanks

No. There is no taxisoftware. There has not ever been a taxisoftware (else than the one that did not work). There will not be a taxisoftware.

Is this last script version compatible with XTM?

I had the 2.3 and was 100% compatible with XTM.

I guess it is... There is no reason why it shouldn't, as long as you didn't change any files on your own.

And now the official announcement:

New version released (V 2.6)
- changed passengers to a neutral ware that is not affected by police scans
- Satellites are no longer required in order to make any ships run properly
- update of CIAD-statistics and fix of one little statistics bug

Attention: In order to get an x3plus-version installed as well, please first install x3plus, then install this script package. Make sure to delete the file "!setup.plugin.taxisoftware.xml".

Hi again. I reinstalled everything, but as i installed the 2.6 version i miss to find Explorer Software. There is none sold in the universe. So i think it is not compatible with the XTM.
Before installing the taxi software 2.6 i had Explorer software sold in a lot of teladi sectors, but after installing it all ES are nowhere.

Sure? This script does not do anything about the Explorer Software, as long as you don't run the 2.0-uninstall-file. Do you have a save left from before to make sure you're right?


Btw: I just noticed there has been a little confsin in my files about the correct command slot... I'm trying to fix this asap, but I first have to make sure what I actually did wrong.

In which menu do your commands show up? The "trade menu"?

I have just downloaded and installed this script, and ensured that all the files are in the correct place. I have bought myself an M5 craft, installed explorer software, but I cant find the taxi software anywhere, and I'm not sure how to get a life support unit?

The version is 2.6 and I installed it with the Plug in manager.

Can anyone help me please?

[moggy2]

which taxi script? Taxi Drivers Guild or Taxi-Software MK1 & MK2

[Draygor69]

It says Taxisoftware MK1 in the plugin manager !

Try to get the "Cargo Life Support System" at any pirate base... Without it, the M5 cannot transport passengers in its cargo bay.

Also please look above at my post about problems people told me in the German forum.

I may have a possible solution for you...

I loaded up your latest version and couldn't find the cmds in my menus either. So I looked inside the script editor and your setup file was nowhere to be found. I tried manually loading it ('L' in the script file listing to load a script), but no go.

I've seen this before...

So I pulled up MS Frontpage to look inside the actual script file. It seems the internal name inside the file (not sure what you call it, but apparently X3 uses it as the script name inside the game) starts with a '!', whereas the filename does not. X3 seems to like both to be in sync, so I took the ! out and it works again.

That's what happens if you manually try to edit files without being fully awake - watch out

I don't know if I'll make it to put together a fix today - otherwise, this must wait until Monday.

well, i try to explain what happened exactly. (hope u understand my poor english )

1) i had X3 + bonus pack xxx.06 + XTM + Taxisoftware 2.3
2) i was in sector Ceo's Buckzoid and bought Explore Software for my TP
3) i lounched the Taxi Software that i always had in menu "Navigation"
4) I had to put an Advanced Sat with "Taxi" name exactly in coordinate 0,0,0 (because it did not worked with other coordinates)
5) everithing OK

6) i found Taxisoftware 2.6 here and installed the script
7) loaded the game
my TP did not had the Explorer software installed
9) no Taxi command in the "Navigation" menu any more
10) went back to Equipment dock in Ceo's Buckzoid and there was no Explorer software to buy.
11) looked in every Telady Equipment dock and no Explorer software available
12) saved the game and exit

13) uninstalled the 2.6 script (always done with the last script installer of Cycrow)
14) installed the 2.3 version
15) loaded the last game and there was again Explorer Software in every Equipment dock

16) i uninstalled the 2.3 and installed 2.6 again.
17) reloaded and again no Explorer Software available.

18) last check... uninstalled 2.6 , installed 2.3 and Explore Software was again available.

so there, i think, must be something in this last script that makes some conflict.

I hope this could help you

ps... never used the 2.0-uninstall-file

Hi I would be interested in hearing peoples views on this script.

My problem is I cant find it listed at any Boron or Teladi equipment docks. I have done exactly what the installer says, and I have checked that all the files are where their supposed to be.

The ship I want for my taxi is an M5, with every bit of software I can find, including the required Explorer software, and a Cargo Life Support system.

If anyone has got this to work, please tell me how. I think it would be a great deal of fun to have your own taxi business.

Problem, ive installed the 2.6 script, and the bonus pack. I have mr Argon Express TP with Explorer software and all the mod cons yet the option for taxi service is not visible. Am i missing soemthing?

Cheers

1.) There is no Taxisoftware, all you need is life support and the Explorer software.

2.) However: There has been a problem about the setup file. As I am going to fix one more problematic thing, I cannot update the script yet. The do-it-yourself-way:

Code: Select all

- You open the script "setup.plugin.taxisoftware.xml" with your notepad/editor
- in the <codearray> at the bottom, you change the expression "!setup.plugin.taxisoftware" to "setup.plugin.taxisoftware"
- you save this script file, but take care to save it in utf8-file format

Fastest way!

What you do is:
1.: You select two free command slots in the stickied compatibility list of the script library. You open the textfile "448751.xml".
2.: You change the 559/560 in<t id="559"> and <t id="560"> to the respective new numbers you found
3.: You change the 559/560 in<t id="10003">559</t> and <t id="10004">560</t> to the respective new numbers you found
4.: You save the textfile.

I've changed 559 with 536 and 560 with 537 but on the special menu it says "readtext.." instead of showing "Start Taxi Mk1" or whatever else should appear..
