[script] broadcast return home

[seedee]

Greetings,
this is return.home command

DESCRIPTION
Wanna tell all the fighters owned by a certain carrier to return home ?
They're all across the galaxy and there's a ton of them ?
You don't want to search for them one by one (carrier property list is just too long) ?
This script have the answer !


USAGE
This script adds two commands :
one in the Ships "general" command and one in the stations commands
execute it on a carrier or a station to see all of their property return home.
Ships will use their jump drive like any other ship would do if you'd issued the commands yourself : ship will jump if able to AND set to.

V1.1
repaired french text files (deleted accentuated chars, replaced with regular ones as X3 TC don't like them)
added loop to check if ship's already docked => if so the ship will do nothing but stay home
added check to know if ship has docking rights => if not i will escort (carrier) or fly to (station)

Hope it will be usefull,
Seedz

edit :
added filefront hosting solution for spk file

does this have any bugs?

[seedee]

only one i can't get rid of without a really heavy loop test is that ships already docked will want to undock and redock,
won't really matter OOS though

(still working on it, if i can't get a "sexy" way of resolving that i might want to go brute force checking wich could be you know, kinda ressource freak for a big array of owned / docked ships)

edit :
found no way do deal with the "already docked" check without comparing owned ship VS docked ships one by one.
placed a new check to tell if owned ship has docking rights on base, if not, if ship => will escort, if station => will fly to
repaired a text file error with french version (X3 TC don't like "à" "é" "è" )
currently uploading, files will be ok in 5minutes max

PS : reports on bugs are appreciated if found

The filefront hosted SPK file is broken.
Megaupload still works though.

now make a script/hotkey that launches all landed ships w/o going into teh command console. maybe even a script that has all player-owned drones return to the ship it/they were launched from
