[SCR][TC+AP] Hephaistos Corp. Station building service (beta 0.73) [Update: 06.01.17]

[superstylin]

Good morning,

How would one change the fee percentage, either higher or lower?

I looked through the 3 main plugin files via script editor and I am not seeing the fee percentage variable... -_-

Any advice?

Thanks!

[X2-Illuminatus]

It's a hard to find, if you don't know where you have to look.

In plugin.X2I.HephCorp.main2.xml in line 268

Code: Select all

268   |||$price = $price + $price / 5

change the 5 to a lower value to increase the fee or to a higher value to decrease it. (The number must be greater than 0 though).

[superstylin]

Omg! I kept looking for a variable, obviously missed that tiny line...

Thanks!!!

It won't let me select a building place on the sector map. When I try to it says built in null sector.

[X2-Illuminatus]

Are you using the current version 0.72? Which stations (amount, type) are you trying to build where exactly? Do you have any other scripts and/or mods installed?

[Commander K.]

Cannot wait to try this out, sounds like a very nice script. Will this play nice with the jumpbeacon script made by lucike?

Thanks!

[X2-Illuminatus]

Using both scripts shouldn't cause any problems. However the Hephaistos Corp. won't use any other jump beacons as the ones from the Vanilla game.

This doesn't work completely with the XRM mod.

Some stations are only sold at the Showrooms and the service doesn't see those.

[X2-Illuminatus]

Then these Showrooms are probably no shipyards, but other station types. I may ask paulwheeler, what kind of station types these showrooms are and try to add that to the script somewhen.

This script is pretty neat,
it really makes buying (alot of) cheap stations alot easier, less tiresome, and more fun
the expensive stations I still do manual trough,

im just thinking out loud, would you be able to do this with Ships?
because that would be awesome, selecting ships like with the stations, and amount of upgrades/extensions, well im just dreaming out loud

[X2-Illuminatus]

This script is pretty neat,

Thanks. I'm glad that you like it.

im just thinking out loud, would you be able to do this with Ships?

I'm currently not actively scripting for X3TC/AP. There are other scripts, which allow ordering and equipping ships more easily though.

Reflexer's Ship Order Manager. Unfortunately it just has a German topic, but it contains an english text file. Not sure, if the manual is translated or not.
Marvelous3175's Yalamandis Corp. ship construction.

There might be more, but I remember those two as being pretty good.

[Figge04]

Thanks, I'll give em a try
cheers

one question guys,
can i use my own TLs with this script??

[Zaknafein]

no.

[Saturn V]

So I have to drag the station to where I want using tractor beam on my own after Hephaistos Corp. finished his job?

I hope there's an option that allow me telling Hephaistos Corp. "I want to build on my own after the delivery". This is good to me and can save the construction cost of Hephaistos Corp. too, what a win win!

[X2-Illuminatus]

The Hephaistos Corp. builds the station in a square or cube, whereby the build location you are asked for, is the lower left corner. It cannot connect the stations to a complex via Complex Construction Kits. So if you don't like the location of your stations you can tow them elsewhere using a tractor beam, once they have been built.

This script are great i use them with XRM, but with Litcube Universe is incompatible, unfortunately

X3TC - & V0.72 of the script
Recently downloaded and tried the script out, all was fine until I decided to make a Point Singularity Projector (15) & Shockwave Starburst Canon (10) & it's food support complex.
When I found the the weapons fabs all collide with the others of the same type, the food fabs are placed fine.
Managed to connect it up, eventually, 13 fabs at a time by waiting OOS for shields to recover ...

What do I need to look at to get Terran fabs placed further apart?

[X2-Illuminatus]

I can only guess that the station sizes in the text file for these stations are either not correct or not present at all.

[whiteraider]

I think I've found the issue, at least I've build the Osaka supply chain.

I think it was part of the Terran Revitalisation Project, the 'fake patch' that added stations, removing it fixed the issue!
