The SNM is an extension to make the management of ships and stations easier by coloured names.
What it does
All player owned ships and stations where checked of token in there names. These token where replaced by the accordant announced text.
The routine works periodically every minute (could be changed in the t-file


If anybody wants the routine can be shut down in the AL-Plugin-menu. All colours in station-names and ship-names will be removed (if there are no changes at the names by reactivation, all colours would be set like before)
To dye a word or a text you only have to write a token at the beginning:
/gry for grey
/blu for blue
/cya for Cyan
/grn for green
/mag for magenta
/red for red
/whi for white
/yel for yellow
/bck for black
/nor to come back to normal text colour.
With the following token mutated vowels and special signs could be created
Mutated vowels:
/:a for ä
/:A for Ä
/:o for ö
/:O for Ö
/:u for ü
/:U for Ü
/sz for ß
Special signs:
/sbo for [
/sbc for ]
/cbo for {
/cbc for }
/til for ~
/vl for |
/ex2 for ²
/ex3 for ³
/at for @
/cir for °
/reg for ®
/+- for ±
/par for §
/cs for ø
Greek letters:
/alpha for α
/beta for β
/gamma for γ
/delta for δ
/epsilon for ε
/zeta for ζ
/eta for η
/theta for θ
/lota for ι
/kappa for κ
/lambda for λ
/mu for μ
/nu for ν
/xi for ξ
/omicron for ο
/pi for π
/rho for ρ
/sigma_e for ς
/sigma for σ
/tau for τ
/upsilon for υ
/phi for φ

French letters:
/*a for à
/^a for â
/'a for á
/*e for è
/^e for ê
/'e for é
/*o for ò
/^o for ô
/'o for ó
/*u for ù
/^u for û
/'u for ú
/,c for ç
/,C for Ç
/oe for œ
/:i for ï
/:e for ë
Moreover there are flexible strings, which were automatically updated:
/hbn adopt the name of homebase (only ships with homebase; priority: normal homebase > cag-homebase > cls-hombase)
/hbs adopt the sector of homebase (only ships with homebase; prioritys: see above)
/lvl adopt the current level of the pilot (priority: trade command software Mk3 > cag/cls)
/typ adopt the type of ship/station
example:
/blu/alpha /red/hbn /yelMamba /redAttacker /norexample (homebase is “Headquarter”)
α Headquarter Mamba Attacker example
There is one more feature added: Decimal numbers can be shown in followed display form:
/numI<Zahl> for roman number (major implemented sign is M, is equivalent to 1000)
/numa<Zahl> for small letters (as yet only till 26 assisted)
/numA<Zahl> for big letters (as yet only till 26 assisted)
/numG<Zahl> for greek letters (as yet only till 24 assisted)
/num#<base>#<numberl> for numbers in other systems, for example binary (base 2), Octal (base

Notes:
- It isn’t advisable to use only red names (and at stations blue too) . So you can’t see if there were attacked (or needs resources).
- Colour-tags are two invisible signs in the name-string, at this position the cursor act up while renaming, so don’t be amazed.
Adding own shortcuts:
100 entries has been createt (2x50; 50 shortcuts and 50x announced text), which you can use you wishes like. In your shortcuts you can use all above shortcuts for automatically translation.
For own shortcuts edit the file t/448649.xml.
The announced text: replace "UserDefinied#<Slotnumber>" with your own text
The corresponding shortcut: relace "/UD#<slotnumber>" with your shortcut
Don’t replace "<t id="###">" and "</t>", ore it wouldn’t work.

Installation:
Extract the archive into your X³-folder (t-files into the t-folder and script-files into the scripts-folder) The SE is necessary (activation: rename yourself into “Thereshallbewings”). (Lucike posted possibilities to install scripts without activated SE)
Updating former versions:
Copy the content of "update.old.version" into the script-folder. Load all saves where the old version is in use and afterwards save them. Now delete the files from “update.old.version” from your scripts-folder.
Now are all parts assumed by the new version. (NOTE: I have not officially released any previous Version of this script in english..)
Also there are two uncommented functions. Explanations at request.
PS I am not avible until 31th Deceber 2007 because i am in vaction, so if you have problems please ask other users in this Topic or wait until i am back...
