Freight Transporter Upgrade 1.2 for Terran Conflict :

[ external image ]

zip only

[ external image ]

Cycrows Plugin Manager version


Name : Freight Transporter Upgrade (Available in your "Custom" Menu after purchase) also with hotkey

Description : Allows equipped ships to beam cargo from space
Version : 1.2
Date : 23/10/08
Author : LV

[ external image ]

Ships that have the upgrade installed in addition to a transporter device can beam any flying ware which is within 3k of their ship as long as they have space in the cargo hold.



This FTU will also beam aboard other astronaut's on board but remember that you need a cargo life support system for your newly acquired slave.
*****Note feature currently disabled while i find how to tag marines to be ignored*****

Each item beamed onboard costs 5 energy cells!

The plugin also has a hotkey command to speed up retrieval

Hi LV,

Glad to see you doing scripts for TC!!!

Anyway 1 prblem I have is if you use this and have any marines nearby the are beamed into the cargo hold but are converted to slaves.

Can they bean beamed back as marines or at least be excluded from being beamed abord?

Regards,
Mufflink.
When in doubt.......cheat.

this could be fixed by using the "catch ware" command.

however, astronauts dont get added as slaves, instead they get added as passengers.

To turn them to slaves you have to enslave them at pirate stations.


there is a command available to check if the astronaut is a marine too

any way to make this script have two options, in a way.

if 5km away the cost is as it´s now, but from 1km it´s free?
and maybe up to 10km 100 energycells or something like that?

as it is now I use this mod as well as the other transporter mod just to be able to pick things up a bit easier from afar and close...

Is this script "signed"? I mean, can I use it without turning ***modified***?

I haven't even seen the ***modified*** thing yet. Is it buried deep on the bottom of the player stats page?

If I recall correctly I had to last night ... it´s a bit blurry =)

Then I am not going to use it. I am looking for tested, compatible and balanced scripts. I don't want to screw my game or saves up and sort of think I'm cheating on the universe with unsigned scripts...

Maybe this will make it into an official bonus pack :wink:?

well, if it´s balanced is pretty much up to you, isn´t it ...
some ppl think it´s balanced to be in 'god mode' ;)

regarding tested, the script been out for like 2 days or something like that, so so far you will have to wait for error-reports. I installed it but havn´t had the chance to use it yet. but no errors in just adding it.

and it seems rather balanced as it cost 5 cells for each beaming, instead of the free one in another thread. =)

Hmm, is there a way to get it so it doesn't cost energy cells?

I think I installed it correctly (not my first time, eh :wink: ), the ware appears in the docks but it is not able to be selected and bought. Any thoughts?

it works for me so i don;t know if that's now an ego ware

the issue above was in the code, it was not adding the upgrades just linking the product

now fixed, see first post for links and update as i've made it into an AL Plugin so it's easy for noobs to use

all of my scripts will be ported over to the EMP pack once someone makes one for TC

so any SS_WARE issues will be gone :wink:

Love this Script LV, most useful when you're sat in your large ship surrounded by the loot dropped by your fallen enemies.

Currently using it in my TL and it works like a charm.

All I need to make my TL complete now is a TC version of al_main's excellent Bulk Transporter Upgrade. Oh yeah, that and the full suite of TL Trade commands I requested in another thread ;)

Thanks for your efforts,

Scoob.

Hey LV

On the astronaut side of things. Is it possible for TC to recognise the relationship between the player and NPC astronauts??

What I'm getting at is if an astronaut is blue rather than have him/her beam aboard as a slave have it beamed aboard as a passenger who when you dock at a station/beam goods across they automatically leave your ship and give you a few credits for the rescue ... and if the astonaut is red beam then aboard as a slave

Ideally if the astronaut is a pirate they could be dropped off at a shipyard and arrested as a pirate and you get credits for it.

If this could be done I think it would be a good extra
