[SCRIPT] Remove Rocks from Universe *UPDATED*

[Graxster]

This script will remove all rocks/debris from the universe, leaving only the asteroids large enough to place an ore/silicon mine on. Clears up flight lanes and reduces graphics load on your machine. Instructions included. Thanks to Bunny for the original script for X3R! Note that this is probably not something you want to do if you are into mobile mining. Enjoy!

*EDIT* The reason the readme.txt file suggests that you not be in the sector you're running this script on is that there's some kind of bug with the way X3TC executes the script. If you're in a sector that has rocks, most but not all of the small rocks will be destroyed in your current sector.

UPDATE
New file(s), now removes all rocks in the Universe instead of a single sector. For those who already downloaded it, just overwrite the old script.

Does this have the same option as the other one to do the whole universe in one shot as well?

[Graxster]

No, you can only do 1 sector at a time.

Edit: With the new update, you can remove all rocks from the entire universe.

[fud]

Bummer.

But then, not *all* sectors need them. Not a big deal, I'm just lazy.

Just what i was looking for, for that mess i'v made thanks very much.

[fud]

Hah!

Bunny's old one *does* work (with a bit of editing) to remove them from the entire universe.


I was going to make a hotkey to go with Grax's, so you could just hit it and get rid of them sector to sector (without having to go through the menus/selecting), but the universe-wide cleaning of the old script did it.

[Seraji]

Fud would you be so good as to post that modified script for people to use? Or do you need permission to post it edited from original author?

[fud]

Well, first:

I need to make sure it's ok with Bunny.

Second, I need to make sure what I did actually works and wasn't a fluke (start a new game, etc).


I'll check the second and send a PM to the first.

[Seraji]

Sounds good to me, thanks very much

[Coruskane]

thanks

does what it says on the tin, now I just need something to sort out the very laggy stations and I am sorted

[Graxster]

Rewrote the script and made a .lib file, now removes all rocks in the universe. Enjoy!

I'm no scriptwriter. Can this script be hot keyed and have the galaxy map pop up for the input the script need ?

[fud]

He could make another version that ran as a plugin as well, one that will automatically run when you launch the game/load a save.

If he was willing to do so that is.

[lv9pv]

hehe I'm sure he could. I'm just not comfortable using the script tool to run scripts from. Usually ends with me messing up everything :/

[Lordaeron]

does this script work with the german version?

[pr0nflakes]

There was a script knocking about for X3-R think it was called "Cheat.remove.rocks".
This helped me increase framerates in sectors with loads of rubble.
Basically it gave you 3 options remove rocks in a sector remove all rocks in the universe or delete all asterroids and rocks in sector.
If someone could write a script for this in X3-TC i would be most gratefull.
Sorry to the author of the original script i dont have your name so i cant give you props for it.

[kmardis]

Here you go

Most scripts are listed here, starting on second post.

[pr0nflakes]

Thanks very much dunno why that didnt show up on a forum search..

I installed the rock remoaval script, specifically the new one that removes all rocks in the universe. I followed the instructions precisely, tried several times but nothing happens. Any help would be very appreciated as this is one of my favorite scripts.
