X3: Terran Conflict 3.0
The trade overview is a tool, to monitor your ships and stations. It displays many information, useful to maximize profits or just to see how much money your traders and stations make.
The menus
Main menu
[ external image ]
The main menu displays all important information the script gathered.
In the upper part you can add new traders and stations or enter the config menu. Below, the list of ships, stations and wares are displayed.
The amount of elements displayed and the sorting values can be set via the settings dialogue.
The Logbook
[ external image ]
Every object monitored keeps a logbook, which breaks down every of the objects transaction. You can open an objects logbook by highlighting it in the main menu and pressing {Enter}.
Flightinfo
[ external image ]
The flightinfo displays detailed information about the chosen transaction.
You can open it by hightlighting any transaction in the logbook and pressing {Enter}.
Wareoverview
The wareoverview displays all transactions with a particular ware. You can open it by selecting any ware out of the warelist in the main menu and pressing {Enter}
Settings
In this menu you can adjust some settings.
For each list (ship-, station-, warelist) you can decide how it should be sorted - you can choose between the overall profit, the number of wares traded, profit/stazura and time (the last two are not available for the warelist).
Additionally you can set how many objects should be displayed in each list. Choosing "0" or pressing {ESC} in the upcoming dialogue results in all objects being displayed.
Destroyed objects
The data of ships or stations, which were monitored and got destroyed, are still available. To remove the object from the list once and for all you can choose between two different settings in the settings menu:
- 1. : Remove automatically -> Upon destruction objects are removed automatically from the list.
2. : Remove manually -> In this mode, objects can be removed via the same menu item manually. In this submenu you can also swith the automatic on.
Hidden wares
Selectin the menu entry "Hidden wares: Edit list" opens a list, which the display status for each ware can be edited in. Hidden wares are only hidden - they are still logged.
Color coding
The only menu entry following the heading "General" handles the color coding. If it is switched on, the main menu will display profits in green and disprofit in red.
Usage
Adding objects to the list
To add a new object (ship or station) to the list you have to select the corresponding menu entry from the main menu. A prompt follows, which awaits a search token. The following tokens can be used:
- Names oder parts of names (e.g. "ECS" finds all objects with "ECS" in their name)
- Sectornames (e.g. "Argon Prime" finds all objects in Argon Prime)
- Object classes (e.g. "TS" finds all TS-class ships)
At the moment only the following object classes are checked:
TS, TM, TP, TL, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, H (for Huge ships), M (for Mid-sized sips), S (for Small-sized ships), Freighter, Fighter, Equipment Dock, Dock, Trading Station, Fabric
This list will be expaned in for future releases. If you have a special wish, just say it.
For all searches uppercase and lowercase letters are considered (will be changed in future versions).
Reset ware
To remove a certain ware completely from the overview you only have to open the corresponding ware entry in the main menu and choose the last menu item, called "Delete everything".
This is of course only temporary, so a new entry will show up once the ware is traded again by one of the monitored objects.
Monitoring stations
Every transaction between the monitored station and NPC-traders will be captured. Additionally, the transaction of every ship, which has the station as homebase, is captured and accounted to the station.
As a consequence you don't have to monitor every supply trader (e.g. CAG) seperately.
If you do, his transactions won't be accounted to the station.
Download
----------------------------------
Current version: Trade Overview v2.053
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
Older versions:
Trade Overview 2.0 - Hotfix4
Trade Overview (beta1) Attention! This version is old and has nothing in common with version 2.0. A coexistance is possible nevertheless.
Italian t-file for beta1 translated by DannyD
----------------------------------
Notes
This script needs at least patch 2.5, as new commands are used.
Because many information are gathered, the savegame will grow. This has however not lead to any noticable performance loss.
For users of versions < 2.0: Version 2.0 was completely rewritten. I recommend uninstalling the old version and installing this one. Both versions can coexist however.
(Un-) Installation
To install just extract the .rar-file into your X3:TC main directory.
To uninstall, first reset the complete overview (mainmenu-entry) and then run the script called 'uninstall.plugin.trov'. Now you can delete all files belonging to the script.
The script will install one hotkey. This hotkeys ('Open trade overview') can be assigned under 'controls'.
