ZIP version?
Yes, I can.
Check back in a day or two. They will both be in the same ZIP download file.
Enjoy

A great mod indeed, reminds me of the old Aalardb's salvage scripts, but this one does not respawn new wrecks after i've claimed the old wrecks. I have played the game for like 3 hours, Claimed 10 wrecks or so, used Grax's ship finder, and all it finds are the same ships that i don't want to claim. It only appears to reset on new game where it spawns a new set of ships. Is this intended?

It does have a limit ...
Yes, there is a limit on the number of abandoned ships it creates. It checks for 20 wrecks. If it finds 20+ it destroys the extra and spawns a new one.
The first time it cycles, it destroys all salvageable. Then it spawns 20 replacements. Random types, random locations.
Check your Artificial Life settings. It sounds like the AL plugin is disabled.
I will do a little testing myself to verify.
Thanks for the feedback.

I know, the point is however, that once it spawns the random ships, lets say i leave 3 behind (e.g. Scabbard, Harrier, Pericles). I check after a few hours if there are any new ships and I only see those that i didn't want to get. My point is, it only spawns 20 random ships once in entire game so far, and they stay, script won't replace them with new ones either, my english isn't very good at the moment.
So from what i understand, this script is supposed to repalce built in wrecks, and replace with random ones, does this only happen once? Because it never happened to me that it repalced the remaining ships that i did not wan't to get.

Replacements...
The package does have a ten minute interval timer. New ships are created every time it cycles.
Did you enable the AL plugin before saving, exiting, and reloading? That will make a huge difference.
The non- SPK version is now bundled and posted.
Let me know if you still have a problem...

I'm very similar problem to Quixotic using the XRM Mod (which incorporates SRM and CMOD4) in that wares can only reliably be transferred to/from ships spawned by this script when both ships have that ware, otherwise they're often not listed in the ship transfer screen. I also have a related problem in that player inventory (police licences, salvage insurance) vanishes when I switch to an ASS-spawned ship.
So it looks like it's currently not compatible and I've disabled it, if anyone else wants to try this with XRM then proceed with caution and test the first abandoned ship you find to see if it all works.

Compatability problems ?
If the MOD modifies or changes the index numbers in the TShips or TWares files, it will break things.
The scripts are linked to the vanilla index numbers in those files. I know of no way to have an auto adjustment in the scripts. ( I.E. a manual recode for every MOD. )
Good to here from you though ...

Howdy,
I'm still a complete noob when it comes to mods/scripts so bear with me.
Does this work in X3TC 3.2 well enough? I can see in the op that TC was at v2.7 the last time the mod was updated...
How about AP with it's Khaak abandoned ship randomisation features. Will it do anything in my AP game?
Thanks

Re:
Thanks,
At this point, it would take me awhile to set this up again.

Anyways, good thing is: the script is fine.
The culprit however seems to be Ware Manager by Cycrow... I've disabled it and haven't had the freight transfer problem anymore, but this rendered Salvage Claim Software unusable as it requires Ware manager to work. Mystery solved though.
Hi I have successfully (I think) installed this script and have been finding lots of abandoned ships, however I am unable to claim any of them even the m3 enhanced kea I found. When I right click on the ship during spacewalk I don't get the "claim ship" option and if I try to use a boarding party it just says "command rejected".

It should be a left click, which opens the info options menu, but I guess you meant that. Have you made sure that these ships have no pilot and that you're close enough to them, usually below 30 m?

Re: [AL plugin] Abandoned Ship Spawner v82
Hi there, I also seem to have the problem of finding what I can only imagine are abandoned ships without any left click options. To be clear, I have ejected from my ship and traversed all sides of the abandoned ship looking for somewhere to click, well within 30 m.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just tested this myself, and it works just fine. I cannot see a problem in the script code either.
Are you able to take over other ships, i.e. the ones not placed by the script and bailed ones? Do the ships you cannot overtake by any chance have pilots? What other scripts and mods do you have installed?
