[REQ] Add Pirate/Yaki rep to Race Rank List

Post by Painman » Sat, 29. Nov 08, 07:42

Just a simple thing (maybe?).

I'd like to be able to see at-a-glance what my rank is with these factions, what the effect of blowing up a Pirate Base is, how much help I get from doing missions for them... stuff like that. Not looking for fancy titles for these rankings -- just a range of -5 to +10 with percentages to tell me where I'm at.

Is this a relatively easy thing to do? Is anyone interested? ;)

hardcoded...

You can however use a script to 'get' the current rank value in notoriety. Though im naught sure how helpful that will be honestly.

There's already a Pirate rank isn't there? Maybe you could just combine the Yaki/Pirate notoriety changes to both affect that standing.

I wonder if it could be done so that it just pops up an email message...

It could say something like, "Your Pirates Rank is currently: x (rank z) and same for Yaki...

Something cool would be if it could track the ranking, and tell you how much you've gained or lost since your last check (so you can see how much you lose from blowing up a Pirate Base, etc.).

I have a script that outputs the numerical values, if that's what you want.

Already have that...

No, a scrip that let you know what notoriety you are with Yaki and Pirates. Might be in numbers, doesn't matter.

My game already lists Yaki in the race list. :wink:
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

Open the script editor, choose "script editor"

That'll bring you to a long list of scripts... this one'll be at the top, or close to it.

Highlight it, press 'r', then hit Enter twice, voila.

The output is raw numeric data, but it's still useful since you can see Pirate/Yaki relative to everything else. eg. in my game right now, Pirates is 160 (they like me, just barely), Yaki is 34949 (they like me, a lot).

For comparison, Boron is 11945, and that corresponds to my current rank title Queen's Protectorate 14%. Split is 109016, corresponding to my current rank title Honoured Imperator of Rhonkar 6%.

Missions... lots of missions. Started out doing assassination missions for a Pirate base in Ocracoke's (making sure not to do ones that had a Yaki as the mark) then eventually got core access to Weaver's Tempest and did missions for the 4 Yaki stations there. Just make sure the mark is flying around in a Yaki sector, and you'll get Yaki rep for killing their enemies.

Lots of assorted missions for Duke's and Pirates in general -- my Duke's sector now has about 13 assorted factories in it... it's getting laggy in there :D I'd have a lot more Pirate rep, but I've dusted a few of their bases that popped up in undesirable places.

OK so you have a rep with Yaki and Pirates my guess would be all other races reputation is in negative? or no...

Edit: ughh... I don't have a pirate base in Ocracoke's Storm :cry:
