I've finally finished my 'How to resolve script command conflicts' It was a bit hastily put together, due to my time constraints. So I hope it makes sense!
Ok. I'll start from the very begining. NOTE. For these steps I use Cycrows Plugin Manager v2.12. Don't know if it's possible to do this with the new PM?
Step 1.
The 1st thing you need to do, is figure out which scripts are causing the conflict. To do this, open the Plugin Manager, go to 'Advanced' menu and click 'Game Resources. You should then see a box with 4 tabs (once all the text files have been read). 'Files Used', 'Command Slots', 'Command Conflicts and 'Wares'. Click the 'Command Conflicts'. Scroll through the list until you see something similar to the screenie below:

As you can see from the above, this conflict is being caused by 'Pilot AI III' & 'Dock Upgrade Manager' in slot SHIP_46
Step 2.
If your not all that clued up on command slot ID numbers, the next thing to do is to go to this list
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 90#1192190 (4th post down, from start of topic)
Now from the PM screenie above, we could see we need to move a script at slot 'SHIP_46'. Looking at the above list for this slot reveals it's ID number. Which is '1246'.
Step 3.
Now we have determined the ID number of the troublesome slot, we need to go back to the PM and decide which command to move. In this case we will move the command which relates to the 'Dock Upgrade Manager' script. We can also see, that the 't' file we need to look for is 8789. In my case the full text file name is 448789. Files that start 44 are English version's. Incase someone does'nt know. *NOTE* You can choose to move one or the other script. It does'nt matter.
Step 4.
Now we have decided what command to move, we need to decide what slot to move it to. There are 2 ways of doing this:
1) Look back at the list on the Egosoft Forums above and choose a slot which relates to a script you DON'T have. (Although, that list has not been updated for a while and you may be using a script which is not on it.)
or
2) Go back to the 'Command Conflicts' tab in the PM and scroll to the SHIP command slots. Each of these are numbered. So, starting from zero, go through them until you find any missing numbers. The missing numbers means that those slots are not in use by a command. So we can move to one of them. *NOTE* They do not appear in numerical order. So be careful, before picking one. From my list, SHIP_50 was not displayed, so it was not in use. So I'm going to move the command to that slot. Returning to the list on the Egosoft website. We can see that the ID number for command slot, 'SHIP_50' is 1250. So now we know what content we need to change from and to in the 't' file.
Step 5.
Navigating to the the 't' file folder and locating the one we need (448789), edit it. I just right-click and choose edit to open it in Notepad
Step 6.
From Notepad's menu, choose: Edit, Replace. In the 'Find What' box, type the number that relates to the command slot we want to move. In this case type 1246. In the 'Replace With' box, type the number that relates to the command slot we are moving to. In this case type 1250. Then click replace all. You can now close the 't' file. *REMEMBER TO SAVE THE CHANGES BEFORE YOU DO!*
Step 7.
If you have done the above correct, you can go back to the PM and once again open the 'Advanced' menu, then click 'Game Resources'. Go to the Command Conflicts tab and scroll down the list, until you reach the slot that was conflicting. You should now see something like this:

To check, if you expand slot 'SHIP_46' (original slot conflict) you should only see 1 script command listed there now. (in this case 'Pilot AI III). Also if you expand slot number SHIP_50 (slot one of the conflicting commands was moved to), you can see the other command ('Dock Upgrade Manager'), now has a slot of it's own.
Voila! Conflict resolved!
