[Mod] PHQ Extend Mod

[apricotslice]

By request, here is the PHQ extended to 50 mill storage space and the script to add it into Boron Shipyards, just on their own.

ahh thanks, but i was wondering if it would be the 50mill thing and the script thats means you can add stations to it, but this will do i think for a bit

[apricotslice]

Thats in the salvage mod http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=191941

This one does give you the basis for adding that script though. I'd use this as the false patch to give you enough room, and install the add stations to phq script itself. That way you avoid the other scripts which you wouldnt need.

[bob hope]

but doesnt that mean i have to enable the SE too? i am trying to avoid that lol

[apricotslice]

Why ?

It makes no difference to X3 at all.

does this phq extender work wit 7.3xtm?

[apricotslice]

As long as the phq files have the highest number, it should. But I ahvent tried it, so you will have to tell me.

If xtm is 11.cat, then phq must be 12.cat, for example. If its reversed, then xtm may overwrite this mod.

Try it and then tell everyone if it works or not.

Sorry about not knowing, but I've never been interested in xtm.

[apricotslice]

I'm successfully using this with XTM now.

09 is v2.5
10 is XTM
11 is XTM patch
12 is phq

No issues as far as I can see.

Hi apricotslice,

I got your modified HQ. I manually added all wares. I set the stock level of each ware. I got two Super Freighters to start to stock the HQ. However, when I click "Start Commercial representation", both my ships just sit at the HQ with a "Standby" as order.


Is your HQ compatible with the Commercial Agent script?

Thanks!

[apricotslice]

There is nothing different about the HQ except the cargo size.

It should work the same as a non modified HQ.

I cant say I've ever used commercial agent with an HQ, so dont know if it works normally or not. A lot of the scripts dont though.

Ask the question on the commercial agent thread.

Just checking that you created the HQ via a TL and not scripted one in ?

[ORIOLE]

A TL dropped it in President's End.

How do you stock your HQ?

Thanks!

[apricotslice]

I scrap most of the ships I cap.

And use the 'station in HQ' scripts and make what I need onsite.

Depends a bit on what stage of a game I'm at.

I've gotten past the build it myself phase. So my HQ is just a resupply depot for myself. Mainly it contains a closed loop ecell production complex, and does not allow npc access. Any overproduction I ship manually to a 2nd HQ I use as a superstore, which also is where I put everything I pick up in battlezones.

I'm afraid I play a fairly modified game these days.

[ORIOLE]

Thanks for your reply!

I changed some settings on the HQ (example: no trading with NPCs, added more credits ....) and now my agents started to work. You got to love software.

Ist there something you need to do in order to kick off the extended storage capacity? I've got EMP and cockpit mods installed already so HQ is now using 11.dat/cat.

The HQ is available at kingdoms end ship yard but my original HQ is still saying it only has 500K cargo space. Could use the extra 45 million. Got 3 TLs stuffed with mosquitos, minerals and weapons for when I run out of space and the HQ is building capital ships.

I've loaded the game, saved it then loaded it again but still no change to storage.

[apricotslice]

Any PHQ that exists in the game before the mod is installed, remains as it was. Thats just how the devs built the phq.

The only thing to suggest, is remove everything from the existing phq, destroy it with LV's script, then add a new phq into a cargo hold (also LV script) and drop it again. It will then get recreated with the new spec.
