Updated the alternative link. Sorry for that error.
@all the people who downloaded the version with the readtext-error: Download >this bugfix< and copy it in your Scripts-folder, and load a savegame. Now the script fixes the error. Then, you have to save your game and exit X3. Now DELETE the bugfix-file - this is very important! Now the FCC-hotkeys should work correctly. Sorry for all the trouble...
@asmondar: To your questions about the offset values:
| FCC-Readme wrote: |
Placing the first Station:
When placing a station we distinguish two cases: 1) placing of the first station and 2)
placing an additional station in order to align it with an already placed station. When
placing the first station a position within a sector has to be chosen. As usual the numpad
is used to do that. The station will be placed at the cursor position (see figure below).
The object orientation of the initially placed station is zero for all 3 directions. These
values, including the position, can be changed after the placement. The x y z offset
values of the initially placed station are all zero !!!
Placing additional Stations:
The positioning of additional stations is not defined via the cursor. Instead, an already
placed station is selected from the list in the sector map (see figure). The alignment
of the new station is then done relative to the selected station. The newly placed station
will have the same orientation as the reference station. All position values can be
changed after the new station has been placed. If the desired reference station is
already part of a complex then this station has to be stored before. The
target, which has to be selected from the sector map before, is then ignored.
Placing the station requires offset parameters to position the station at a different location.
Offset parameters can take only value of -1, 0, or 1. These values shift the station
along the 3 axis. The distance is then calculated based on the radii of the station and
on a constant safety distance. The offset input parameters shift the station about that
distance.
X-Offset:
-1 reduces the distance along x
0 keeps x position
1 increases the distance along x
Y-Offset:
-1 reduces the distance along y
0 keeps y position
1 increases the distance along y
Z-Offset:
-1 reduces the distance along z
0 keeps z position
1 increases the distance along z
Example 1: To place a station below the control centre the following offset values are
necessary:
X-Offset = 0 Y-Offset = -1 Z-Offset = 0
Example 2: Placing a station to the right (positive x direction)
X-Offset = 1 Y-Offset = 0 Z-Offset = 0
or to the left (negative x direction)of the control centre
X-Offset = -1 Y-Offset = 0 Z-Offset = 0 |
I hope that helps... (It's from the old FCC-Manual but this part is nearly the same)
And for Complex connections...:

With the FCC-build command you can build single control centers - no connections! You have to use the standard-command for that.
But this is helpful if you want to rotate the control center - with the normal command, it points always to north.
And the axis are correct, like you wrote it.
Btw. I think it's the easiest way tho configure your hotkeys like this: (on the numpad)

4 move station x-axis +
6 move station x-axis -
2 move station z-axis +
8 move station z-axis -
3 move station y-axis +
9 move station y-axis -
0 rotate station x-axis
1 rotate station y-axis
7 rotate station z-axis
5 fix/unfix station
+ move/rotate positive
- move/rotate negative |

I read the manual I just can't seem to get it right. It's either my own fault, or my computers i'm sure. I do the whole offset and what not but upon connecting I just can't seem to make straight pipes. It's just me I know it's all good.

I completly skipped this. I feel like a goober now.

Yeah, and if you have enough cash an extra 250k isn't much.

The FCC is no guarantee for straight pipes - It just helps you positioning your stations. The offset feature is helpful if you want to build stations in a raster, what is recommoned for big complexes. But it won't help you to create straight pipes.
If you want to build complexes with straight pipes, you have to align the nodes (where the pipes come out of the station) of the factories to each other, this looks like this:
If you align the factories, so that the nodes are opposite to each other, you'll get a straight pipe. This is also called compact-complexbuilding...
I would like to give you more detailed informations about that but it's not easy to translate such difficult things...
And I'm sure that there are english guides for complexbuilding.
Anyway, this is more a general complex building theme and doesn't relate to the FCC.

wowwww, this save so much time now. the patch fixes the language problem, i can actually see the name of the command and receive the messages now. just a quick question, how do we disassemble the factory? i have two factories connected with the complex construction kit. just wondering.
cheers,

Dock at the Hub and select.......Self Destruct.
This will destory the Hub and Hub only. It will leave you with (in your case) 2 non-connected stations.
Or, if you have FCC you can also select the hub and hit Fix/Unfix.
However, This will disconnect your stations and you will have to use 2 hub's to reconnect all 3 pieces. Connect in this order Hub to Station 1 and then Hub to station 2.
Blowing it up is more cost efficient. Because it will only cost you 1 Hub to reconnect them.

Everytime I click on the download link, it takes me to a picture or gif of "Download" picture and nothing else.

Even the 2nd link up there? The 2nd link for me pulls up a download/save window on my computer straight away.
I can't dl from the first link, cause my computer is old and hates me. But 2nd link works for me.

Both links are doing the same thing to me. I don't get a save file window or nothing except this picture "Download".

The download error was caused by the "download" gif-image... This usually works every time but I think that some people have some wrong internet-settings which make downloading this impossible. I've replaced the image with a normal link - This should work for everybody

Hi, Lt. Ford [KBG] and Profitlord [KBG].
Thanks for you work.
I can send to you Russian translation for new version of FCC, i.e. 78845.xml.
How I can do it?

Hi, that sounds great
Did you also translate this thread? That would be important cause it contains the most important informations about the FCC.
You could send me the file via e-mail, you'll find my adress in my profile.

Thanks for that (even if I don't understand one word in russian^^)
When you've translated the thread, I would be glad if you could send me a PN.
