Thanks for that TEMO.

the slipstream drive cycrow talks about reminds me of the transwarp drive on StarTrek, it works with the transporter system teleporting your whole ship in front of you constantly as you are warping through space. therefore the blinking effect from one location to the next.

what do you think,

I am new to the scripts, well, the whole game really. Anyway, I've installed the Plugin Manager Lite (V1.40 Beta 13). I have installed the Slipstream Drive Script.

How do I use it? Do I have to purchase something in an equipment dock? I do not see this as a configurable option in the game control settings.

Thanks for any help, like I say, still trying to figure this out. So far, this seems amazing.

Hey Cycrow, you seem to do some damn good scripts. Thanks for them.

2 questions, if you don't mind:

1 - Have you fixed this SSD? From what I've read, it has some bugs, which you mentioned you'd fix but haven't posted in over a year about it.

2 - I haven't done any scripting for this game myself, but was trying to clean up some typos in some scripts and decided to try to learn how they work. That seems to be difficult without a list of the base syntax & commands. Where would I find that info to try writing my own scripts? How did you learn to script this game?

Adding in hotkeys for game functions seems like it'd be much easier than creating your own objects/items or improving marines.

i havn't got round to updating it yet

[sadron]

I have this based inside a hotkey package Cycrow made, which includes the boarding hotkeys as well. My question is where do I buy it at?

[AgentExeider]

arg, got a problem, To use the slipstream drive, i have to have EMP installed,

However, if I have EMP installed, Cycrow's Advanced Jumpdrive doesn't work properly.

Arg, decisions, decisions.

Cycrow, maybe you could make it so it runs off of the EMP that's in the plugin manager, so I could use both.

Also as kind of an aside, if Egosoft ever does make a Multiplayer X.

They have both of your scripts to make it really kick butt.

use your "slipstream drive" as the new SETA,
And your advanced jumpdrive would make for some killer fleet battles. all BSG style and such.

Trying to get the Slipstream Drive to work, I have for the first time edited the files inside of X3. With that said, I have made the Slipstream Drive able to be bought at the split equipment dock, by fixing errors in the programming.

The setup.cycrow.slipstream.xml has a error in the game script viewer.
It reads ZA_EMP_BLANK_WARE_CUSTOM17_16 I had to change this to ZA_EMP_13233_BLANK_WARE_CUSTOM19_16 to match the emp2.7 script. I also changed in game the $y = $z to $y = $y as mentioned above. After the ware name was reading correctly I noticed the Split ReadText25-111 error. The readtext 25-111 is calling the page ID 25 and its sub ID 111. I noticed it only went up to 110 for the highest reputation. From what I realized it was the EMP2.7 and ware manager mod/scripts that was making the error. EMP2.7 has the reputation at 1000000 which from what I can tell is the highest you can have, but the ware manager is somewhere, in the programming, increasing the value of that higher, above 1000000.
Soooo... using X3 Editor2 I changed the EMP2.7 file, ID=19_16, rep requirement to 333333 (maybe 999999 might work? I have not tried it). Yes that doesn't make you have the highest rep with Split but mine is already maxed, but I just wanted the damn thing to work.

Also, look through the rest of the Slipstream Drive scripts in game for any of the 17_16 codes and change them appropriately.

So please Cycrow or who ever knows more about the scripting please fix the emp2.7 and or ware manager to fix the requirement for max rep.

BTW... ZA_EMP_BLANK_WARE_CUSTOM1_16 through 20_16 have the rep requirement to 1000000.

Well i've came to a strange thingy. I belive it is not designed for AP anyway but for some reason it sometimes works (could be bought and so on) and sometimes not (ZA_EMP_WARE...). And this doesn't depend on scripts installed as it happens with exactly the same script/mod setup.

Wonder if there is any chance this won't be considered necro and if the script will be updated?

If not - maybe it should be moved to "no longer supported" section of the library not to cause disturbances in space-time continum?

[Karnack]

Cycrow has this been updated, or if not, will it work correctly with the latest TC version as of 12-10-2012?

I ask, as a few posts back, I read where you said it hadn't been updated as yet, but that was sometime ago. I used your "advance jumpdrive" back in X3R, and I just installed your TC version for X3TC, but this script sounds awesome, as in sector travel can take a long time, even using SETA.

Thanks Cycrow!

Playing AP with XRM

I've never been able to get:
Slipstream or Turbo Boost to work in AP

Turbo worked fine with X3TC....suggestions?

I installed this on my Nova through the cheat menu to test it and I am getting a malfunction warning and shutdown.

The Slipstream drive drains all power on activation and then shutsdown. Maybe the Nova can't run it, but there is no advisory of this limitation to the drive. I also tried activating unlimited Laser Power, but this still causes the energy to drain and then refresh a tenth of a second later.

Is this a bug or working as intended?
