[SCRIPT] Anarkis Crystal Free SPP - v1.02 - [2010-08-02]

Post by Serial Kicked » Sat, 31. Jul 10, 03:34

================
Anarkis Crystal Free SPP
================

:arrow: Plugin Description
  • This small script will remove the need for crystals on Solar Power Plant. Of course you'll need to pay a lot of money for this feature. You'll need 10 million credits for a M SPP, 25 millions for a L and 50 millions for a XL one. A new command will appear in your station's menu called "Upgrade SPP to Xenon Technology", use it on a Solar Power Plant to upgrade it.
:arrow: Downloads: :arrow: Important Note:

If you're using the Complex Cleaner mod/script, and want to add a crystal free SPP to your complex. Please proceed as follow (in that order):
  • 1. Crunch the SPP into its CC format
  • 2. Run the crystal remover script
  • 3. Connect the SPP to the complex with a complex construction kit.
Gazz's script makes a duplicate station but in its own format and its collision free box. If there are no crystal requirements the output gets set very very low. But if the station is setup correctly in the right format and then the crystals are removed it works fine.

The third step is absolutely necessary, or the next time the crunch command is run from CC your SPP will get reset to almost no output. But if it is already part of a complex it gets ignored.

Thanks to Tasolth for this workaround

Thanks for the re-release of your X3:R script Serial Kicked. :D

Too bad about complex cleaner merges, but I expected something along those lines. Can still use standard SPPs inside cleaned complexes.

Cheers.

I'm currently asking Gazz if something can be done about that. We'll see :)

What I've found that works regarding crystal free SPP's and compelxes is:

First - Crunch the SPP into its CC format,

Second - run the crystal remover script

Third - Connect the SPP to the complex with a complex construction kit.

Why these steps ?

Gazz's script makes a duplicate station but in its own format and its collision free box. If there are no crystal requirements the output gets set very very low.

But if the station is setup correctly in the right format and then the crystals are removed it works fine.

The third step is absolutely necessary, or the next time the crunch command is run from CC your SPP will get reset to almost no output. But if it is already part of a complex it gets ignored.

Found this out the hard way with an older spp crystal free script.

It's probably a bit more "mod friendly" than the other one, the detection method to see if a station qualifies at being upgraded or not is different. M/L/XL factory detection method is also a bit different. Prices are somewhat higher.

That's basically what i was going to say.


@Tasolth:

Thanks for this method. I'll include it in the first post. Once i've tried it with my script, just in case :)

Can you convert this into a spk. format? I don't know what to do with the XML files.

Good flying, or reinforcements. Lots of reinforcements.

The early 1.00 was a bit rushed for obvious reasons. This 1.01 is now compatible with Complex Cleaner as long as you follow the steps explained in the first post.

Thanks again to Tasolth for this workaround.

Great script, been using for a while. At first I though this was a cheat script. Then built a complex w/o it.

In the end, the cost of the upgrade on the station is as much as a closed loop Crystal complex. So it's just a "packaging" script.
