Dockware Manager Preparations
Download
Lucike left after he got temporarly banned from the X-Universe Forums and asked me to remove the direct download links. Of course I respect his wish, so I replaced the download links with links onto his own homepage.
-> Dockware Manager (Version 3.1.05)
Prerequisites: X³: Terran Conflict Version 2.5 or higher (not compatible with X³: Reunion) !!
Activation of the Script Editor
Dockware Manager doesn’t require the script editor to be activated. Dockware Manager includes a script, that automatically sets the game to “modified”.
With the script editor activated, additional technical information can be displayed. This can be enabled in the script editor menu (Script Debugging: Additional Information) but is recommended to be left "off" as it might be confusing to some players. It is possible to run unsigned scripts without activating the script editor. This requires a change in the scripts boot file. In any case the save game will become “modified”.
Installation
Simply extract the *.zip file to your X³ TC folder. The .zip file includes the folders “\scripts\...” and “\t\...” which also exist in your X³ TC folder. Any additional folders in the *.zip file are for maintenance and uninstalling and should also be extracted to your X³ TC folder.
Uninstallation
The folder “\scripts.uninstall\...“ includes the file “setup.plugin.dockware.manager.pck”. Copy this file to the script folder (\scripts\...). Start X³ TC and load your save game. The uninstall process will start automatically and send a message to your log upon completion. The process can take up to 20 seconds from loading the savegame. Save the game.
Run the batch-file „Delete all Dockware Manager Scripts.bat“ in the “\scripts.delete\...” folder. This will delete all the script’s files. The uninstall process is now complete.
Important: Never simply delete scripts, because they are connected to your savegame.
Updating older versions
Simply extract the *.zip file to your X³ TC folder. The .zip file includes the folders “\scripts\...” and “\t\...” which also exist in your X³ TC folder. Any additional folders in the *.zip file are for maintenance and uninstalling and should also be extracted to your X³ TC folder.
The batch-files “Delete old Dockware Manager Scripts.bat” in the “\scripts.delete\” folder takes care of deleting old and unneeded script files. This step is not required, but will keep your script folder organized.
In game nothing has to be manually restarted. All ships or station automatically restart their scripts.

To add new wares you've got different choices. You can search and add a specific ware by ware type or you can select one from another station. Also the whole assortment of a station can be taken.

If adding a single ware to a player headquarter you will be promted for the limitation immediatly after adding the ware.
Remove or limit a ware
To remove a ware, or in case of a player headquarter also to limit a ware, you just have to select a ware in the list. If it is a normal dock, the selected ware gets removed immediatly. Only wares whith an empty stock can be removed.
