The Script Editor / Galaxy Editor

where to get M.S.C.I.

The MSCI is just another name for the script editor.
See the first post on how to activate it within your game.
Cheers.

Is the script editor allready in original version and no need to download it?

[Serial Kicked]

Script editor is more like a cheat to me.

Hallo everyone,

I've a couple of problems with the Galaxy Editor included in X2:

1- I've created a small Boron sector with a Boron Ray (assigned to that race) patrolling it. The problem is that it accept the command "attack all enemies" but it doesn't accept any command on the turrets though there are both SW combat 1/2 on it and it doesn't work even installing AEGIS and military personnel on board.
Therefore when I start a new game in that map the Boron Ray patrols but if I shot it it reacts only with missiles: it doesn't shot me with PPCs.
How it's possible to assign orders to turrets in the Galaxy editor?

2- I've created two gates: one in Kingdom End (Est) and one in Power Circle (west) then I've linked them assigning two different ID, pointing each other and using the function "Link sectors by gates". Actually they work fine because I enter in one and exit from the other but when I use the function Gate Validation System it tell me they are not linked or better that the west gate in power circle is not linked to an East gate.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know the answer to either of your questions.
I'm only posting here so you don't feel like you're being ignored.
Hopefully, someone else that has working with the in game galaxy editor can answer you.

@Burianek, Serial Kicked thanks for keeping my post alive!

I hope someone else has worked with it and can help me...

about the gate validation thingy ..


when working systematicly you shouldnt need it ..

however it never lied to me ..
(try removing the gate .. and adding it again .. perhaps the editor only sees it as a booboo)

in the galaxy-editor you cant issue commands to ships afaik ..

when a game starts all AI-non player ships with turrets that are in sector get the turretcommand automaticly ..

Hmm... but the Ray didn't shot me when I attacked it: i just fired missiles.

Maybe it's turrets weren't active because I'd issued it the command "attack all enemies" in the editor?

Should NPC ships just be placed in the enviroment with no orders at all?

ships not owned by the player ..

-fighters without homebase --> will go on attack all enemies
-fighters with --> stay docked and will be the station-defence
-LTs --> will 'idle'
-TSs/TPs --> needs a homebase (will else be given one by the game) and will be traders ..


-turretcommands --> from the 'script-editor' .. running the 'turret attack enemies' script on task 1 will(should) start the turretcommand on turret 1 .. task 2 --> turret 2 etc etc (however on non-player owned ship the game activates the turrets)


about the not shooting .. been messing with Tships perhaps?? ..

hmm. in anticipation of X3 i reinstalled x2.

but damn hell the galaxy editor just won't activate. i have the script editor going but the galaxy one - nothing. i press T h e r e s [and then the s starts a new game of X2 for me].

arrrgh. any advice?

edit - never mind. it seems i needed to install 1.2 befor 1.4. i did and eveything works fine. quite embaressing actually. anyway- really awaiting x3 eagerly.
