[SCRIPT] [2012.04.02] Universal Best Buys/Sells Locator v2.51a

Is it possible that when searching for a factory to be bought and choosing which ship to send, only those capable of carrying that specific ware class can be sent? As of now you have to go through hordes of ships just to find your TL

Perhaps expand it to not just stations ex:

Select ware to search for -> script gets ware class -> only show ships capable of carrying that ware class

This would be great. I also use this script to find where to buy specific stations, and it would save me a lot of time and tedium to have one ship on the list instead of 100+.

Hi,

I use this script an it saves a lot of time.

I have enhanced the script.
Now you can define 5 ships that you can send to buy or sell.
Also all commands are now shown with the long form (eg. Buy Ware)

nice idea,

gonna use this to equip me ships (traders mainly for now) so that will be ship extensions and so on, I didnt read the whole post so im assuming I can do this with this script/mod

thanks

small request,

as you know, by selecting a ship then >use universal best sell>selecting wares on the ship>the station to sell to . The menu opens up and we have to RESELECT a ship.

Cant the script automatically use this selected ship?

and after the ship reaches the destination we must then order the hip to sell the wares

Can the 2 above mentioned be made automated ? without having to reselect and manually order?

I can not get this to work
I am using X3TC 2.6
I have copied the script files to the scripts directory and the t files to the t directory
I have a ship with the best buy and best sell locator
I have sectors with nav sats
I have picked the ship with the locator, select trade and there is no universal price locator

Never mind I got it working by turning on the script editor

The script is great, I have a few Q's and suggestions
1. Why do I have to select another ship? How can I set it to be based on my ship e.g. I'd to see best sales for the cargo in my ship not the other ship I had to choose to start it off. Is there a "marco" I can use go through all the options to archive this?
2. When I tell it to send the ship I'm in it wont use the jump drive, it will use the jumpdrive for other ships I have
3. Is their an option to see the best of every available product?

So this is my first script. I enabled the script editor and installed the package using PluginManagerLite, which says it's enabled. I even see it in the list of scripts. However, I try to run it, hit enter a few times, and nothing happens! I still have the regular buy/sell locator menu. What the heck am I doing wrong?

Burt, is the script editor enabled in your game? You must have a "*** modified ***" flag at the bottom of you personal info screen to run unsigned scripts.

Yes. Woah. Just found out what happened. I was running the 'setup' script rather than the actual script found near the top. Works great, now just need to find that hotkey script. Guess I just needed a couple of days to figure it out ha.

I would love to use this script to its fullest potential but whenever I try to find a ware there are no separate categories for the Race/Notoriety/quantity/Credits or jumps in fact it doesn't look like the Output screenshot at all this is what mine looks like :

I have the latest patch 2.7.1 installed

any Ideas??

Ok, I love this script. It really is what Best Buy/ Best Sell should be, but like many others, I, too, have been frustrated by the ship selection process at the end. It's not so bad when you've got a couple fighters and a couple freighters, but even after going to collect the derelict ships in the universe it becomes a pain to select the ship I wanted to send, especially given that I'm running the command from the ship I wanted to send anyway.

So with that being said, I short-circuited the script by taking out the ship selection menu. It acts more like remote best buy/sell.

I don't like the idea of releasing this without permission, but given that it doesn't really add anything, alex2069 hasn't been around for 6 months, here it is.

Quick and dirty fix, and I'm not known for thorough testing.

Use at your own risk.

just throw it in your x3tc\scripts\ folder.

One thing to note is that the options for message on arrival and force jump are set to YES. They were obtained from the menu selection, which is what's been removed, so they've got to be hard coded. It's easy to turn one or both off in the script editor if you're so inclined.

It looks like Alex's Filefront page is down - can anyone mirror a copy of the latest package for download? Thanks..

ThalonMook · Post by **ThalonMook** » Fri, 23. Jul 10, 02:51

Hi,

I have an enhanced version of this script.

There where some things that I was missing in this version.

1. No predifined ships to choose and send them to a station
2. The commands are raw (eg. COMMAND_NONE)

I have enhanced the script now by this missing things

Now you can define 5 ships that you can send to buy or sell.
Also all commands are now shown with the long form (eg. Buy Ware)

Here you can see a little screenshot:

I you need I can send you a link to download it.

this is a must have script. extremely useful. I almost quit playing X3 TC until I found scripts, and mostly this one... I can't praise it enough.

Hi, can I get a copy of the script please.

This is just what the trader ordered. All the adv sats. have a best buy/sell sub menu but This is so much easyer.
