Okay so with this script, you need to play with the settings in the AL Section to add the new ships to shipyards?

I didnt know that.

You need to turn it on in the Artificial Life settings.

Then use Cycrow's Community Plugin Configuration script (link is in the main post) to configure which SRM features you want turned on.

It depends on which parts. The OP has clear instructions for everything, but they're rather lengthy, and it's easy to miss things.

What you can do is copy and paste the complete instructions (usually a paragraph or three each) for each individual addon pack into a separate document. This will give you a much more manageable pile of checklists when you're trying to verify that you installed and configured everything correctly.

I've tweaked the Shipyard Pack installation instructions from the main post a little:

-To install the shipyard pack extract the contents to a temporary folder. Copy all scripts into the X3TC "Scripts" director, or install the SPK version via the plugin manager. Run X3TC and load your game. Go to OPTIONS > GAMEPLAY > ARTIFICIAL LIFE SETTINGS and switch the SRM Shipyard Pack on. Then you need to go into the Community Plugin Configuration Menu (via a hotkey - see the CPC thread), and turn on the features you require.

actually ATF headquarters, electro magnetic repater forge and maybe others are having this problem as well.

ATF headquarters arent even using the right model, so i doubt you can buy a M1-M2 from there.

this issue happened after installing

bounce

i dont see how they would affect factories. i disabled srm factories and then enabled them again but the problem is still there

i will try a new X3 install when the new SRM is available, but first i would like to know if there are know issues with those scripts.

thanks

If you are not seeing the correct model for the ATF headquarters then you must have a conflicting TFactories from another mod. That would also explain the other error as well.

List all the mods you use and I'll take a look.

39. New ships added to Shipyard Pack.
40. Fixed incorrect trails on Advanced Scout and Interceptor and removed trail from Kha’ak Military Transport.
41. Altered all docking on Sentinel M6s to only allow M5 docking.

YOU NEED TO UPDATE MAIN SRM, HULL PACKS, SHIPYARD PACK AND TRAILS

SHIPS THAT MUST NOT BE IN-SECTOR WHEN YOU UPGRADE:

Ranger, Eurus, Enhanced Elite, Mjollnir, Thor Prototype, any MM6, Susanowa Prototype.

I think the rest should be OK, but backup your current cat/dats anyway, just in case you get a save loading error.

SHIPS THAT REQUIRE CLONING:

Ranger, Eurus, Enhanced Elite, Mjollnir, Thor Prototype, any MM6, Susanowa Prototype.

I don't think the Sentinel M6s will require cloning with the changes to their docks, but if you have trouble you may need to.

Only the two trail packs with capital ship effects have changed. The rest do not need updating.

For shipyard pack, just copy the new scripts in overwriting the old ones. Changes will be automatic when you reload.

YOU MUST UPDATE THE CMOD TO 4.9 FOR EVERYTHING TO WORK CORRECTLY.

EDIT -

42. Added trails to Truelight Seeker (trail pack).

Redownload the trail pack if downloaded before 15.15 BST.

Cheers for update. I assume this will need a new jobs file though?

builder680 · Post by **builder680** » Wed, 27. Apr 11, 15:45

I should probably know this, but what constitutes an "MM6" exactly? I have a Vidar, Hyperion, and about 30ish Truelight Seekers as CAG's, CLS's, and EST's/UT's (which took several days of pilot and job switching from originally being TS's).

Sorkvild · Post by **Sorkvild** » Wed, 27. Apr 11, 15:46

I've been waiting for this, dude

Will be giving a look & doing some testing soon

None of them are MM6s.

All the "Heavy" variants, plus Vali, PX and Skiron.

Right on. Can't wait to get everything updated, thanks!

It will work just fine with the current jobs file. You won't see the new Osprey or Nemesis Sentinels or the Appallox till there is a new Jobs release.

builder680 · Post by **builder680** » Wed, 27. Apr 11, 15:50

Just noticed Truelight Seeker doesn't have a mention in the changelog for getting engine trails. I assume you didn't get around to it this time, or is it intentional?

Its coz I forgot.

I'll sort it for next time - promise

builder680 · Post by **builder680** » Wed, 27. Apr 11, 15:55

No worries, I don't spend a lot of time eyeballing my CAG's anyway!

It's like Christmas when you do these releases, thank you!

Actually... redownload the trail pack again in about five minutes and your Truelight Seeker will have trails.

(engines are in the same position as the Centaur so it was just a simple copy and paste of the scene file)

EDIT - Upload complete. The TLS is now trail enabled.

List all the mods you use and I'll take a look.

the mods i have installed are SRM 1051, CMOD4, TRAILS PACK.
scripts are: CODEA, military and personnel transport, SRM shipyard pack, SRM weapons dealer, CMOD factories, SRM jobs, bounce, wing hotkeys.

i noticed the problem after installing wing hotkeys and bounce (i installed them at once). i think bounce might be the cause because it says it has to do with new ships and stations. please check the thread if you have some time http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=295405
i might not have understood correctly how to install it because my english is not so good.

thanks

I think Bounce is the problem. The BounceWall.cat/dat contains a TFactories file. This will cause the errors you are seeing.

I believe the BounceWall.cat/dat are only used when generating the wall file. Once you have a wall file I think these should be removed and the SRM will work correctly.

Instructions for generating a wall file are in the Bounce thread. Or alternatively another SRM user may already have one you can use... either way, the SRM won't work till the BounceWall cat/dat is removed.
