a lot of players know still from X3R the CLS-software (commodity logistic software), EST (Economy and Supply Trader) and CA (Commercial Agent).
lucike, designer and programmer of this scripts, and some other people are working to provide you with this software-extensions also in english language, the funny thing is, we are austrian and german, so english is not our native language.
i want to ask all of you, just to read over the instruction for the cls - 'cause this is the correction thread for the cls - for wrong spellings, if something is not so clear.... and this stuff.
this is NOT a thread for discussion, if a special word in the t-files is good or not good, because the usage of all the scripts are similar - we want it in a way, that - once you've worked with one of them, you can work with all the others aswell - without big changes.
the goal is to get a version of the instruction, which is absolut clear - even a person, never played this game - can understand it, and that it's good english - not 'foreigner-english' ;- ))
after 1 week this thread will be closed.
would be nice, if you can help us here...
greets from switzerland
wolf
------------
ok, also a very short summary about cls (in my words ;- ) )
this software helps you doing product-redistribution (?) inside your company.
like in real life - you have a company with a lot of storage-places all over your country/world. there is no sense, if one storage place is full with a certain product, and all the others are empty.
so, in x3tc you have e.g. a komplex, where a million of crystals are produced for nothing (or just for selling...).
now, if you have another 5 energy-producers (energy-factorys ?), which need crystals, you can tell a vessel delivering the crystals from your mega-crystal-komplex to the others...
this is the internal commodity software.
with the external you can plan a route. means telling a freigther going to here, doing something, going to there, doing something .... and so on.
ok ?
------------
so, here the instruction....
don't bother, that on the pics there are sometimes other words than in the description. this will be changed.. haha, not anymore, pics are updated
VERSION 2.0 - 1st official release
thanks to terre, bugmeister, jlehtone, lucike and all the others helping us...
[SCR] [2008-11-03] [X3TC 3.beta.02] Commodity Logistics Software
Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and MK2
(Version 3.beta.02 - 3. November 2008)

[ external image ] [ external image ]
Overview Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and MK2
This software supports the pilot in coordinating his internal production logistics. It will enable a pilot to collect orders from different consumers within your enterprise and coordinate them with chosen suppliers. Therefore it is possible to deliver the products from several suppliers of a single resource to different consumers.
It also allows the pilot to plan a route. The pilot is instructed to follow a given route and make commodity transfers at each intermediate stop. This enables the pilot to carry out specific tasks within the company and buy/sell at different stations. The route will be followed repeatedly until the pilot receives new orders.

Installation Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and MK2
Download
-> Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and MK2 (Version 3.beta.02)
-> Necessary "Libraries" (you must install them !)
Don't bother, the name of the zip-file are german. Once installed, you have the english version.
-> Description Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and MK2 (PDF) ...still to come...
Prerequisites : X³ Terran Conflict Version 1.2 (not compatible with X³ Reunion) !!
Activation of script editor
This not essential, but you should note that it will set your game to ***modified*** automatically.
If the script editor is activated, special script information will be displayed. Some players don't like this / maybe getting a bit confused. It is possible to use un-signed scripts without activating the script editor; this involves making changes to the init-files. However, even in this case you'll still get a ***modified*** game.
Installation
Just copy all the files from the zip-folder to your X3-TC directory. You will find the directories '\scripts..\' and '\t\..' in your installation directory. In the zip-file you'll also find some other directories and files, copy these into your X3-TC-directory as well, you may need them for administration and/or de-installation, later.
De-installation
In your X3-TC directory you'll find a file called '\scripts.uninstall\..' - from this file, copy 'setup.plugin.goods.delivery.pck' into your script-directory (\scripts\..). Run the game, load your latest game and the de-installation will be executed automatically. Once it's finished, you will be informed you via your log (-after about 10 to 20 seconds). Now save the game and you're done..
Deleting the scripts should be done using the batch-file 'Delete all Commodity Logistics Software Scripts.bat', located in your X3-TC main directory. After running this file, all of the CLS script-files will be deleted.
Important: You should not delete script files by yourself, they're part of your saved games.
Updating an older script version
Just copy all of the files from the zip-folder into your X3-TC directory, they are named '\scripts..\' and '\t\..'. In the zip-file you'll also find some other directories and files, copy these into your X3-TC-directory, as you may need them for administration and de-installation at a later stage. The newer ones will over-write the older files.
A batch-file called 'Delete old Commodity Logistics Software Scripts.bat' is located within the file, 'scripts.delete\..'. Using this, you can delete old and unused scripts. If you don't want to do this, it's ok, but it will help you to keep your scripts-directory nice and tidy.
Any ships using the option 'Inform me, when the task is fulfilled' will inform you automatically, because they stop using their current scripts and restart the new ones. So, for all other purposes you can ignore these log-entries.
Description Commodity Logistics Software MK1
Tasks
The software supports the pilot by coordinating his internal production logistics. It will enable him to collect orders from different consumers within your enterprise and coordinate them with chosen suppliers. Thus, it is possible to deliver the products from several suppliers of a single resource to different consumers.
The software was originally developed by an Argon software engineer and as such is being sold in every Argon Equipment Dock. It is also available in the Trading Station located in Herron's Nebula.
Consumers will generally be sorted and supplied according to how urgently they need the wares. Stations will only be considered for a delivery if they have less than 95% of the storage space filled. The same principle applies to your producers, who will only be allowed to ship wares if their stores are at least 10% full. Put a different way, stations will not receive wares if they are almost full, and suppliers will not send out wares if they are almost empty.
Over time the pilot will learn to use this software more efficiently, nobody starts out as an expert. Additionally, he might participate in special training courses by utilizing his trading computer extension. These training courses are offered in the pilot's homebase at certain time intervals.
Quick start
Pilot qualification
- Equip a TS class transporter with navigational software MK1 and Commodity Logistics Software MK1
- Assign a homebase
- From your ships Trading Menu, choose 'Start internal Commodity Logistics', then select product and price with the command 'Homebase products'
- From your ships Trading Menu, choose 'Start internal Commodity Logistics', and select a number of stations with the command 'Suppliers and Consumers'
- Choose the command 'Start internal commodity logistics' in your ships Trading Menu.
Apprentice
The apprentice is able to collect one product from one supplier and to deliver it to up to three consumers (excluding equipment docks and trading stations). The apprentice is carrying out his probationary period in your enterprise and doesn't get a salary during this time.
Auxiliary courier
The auxiliary courier is able to collect two products from up to two suppliers and deliver them to up to five consumers. Additionally, he will be able to deliver commodities to equipment docks and trading stations. The auxiliary courier receives a wage of 10 credits per mizura flown, paid after completing each trip.
Courier
The courier is able to collect three products from up to three suppliers and deliver them to up to five consumers. Additionally, he will be able to supply TL class ships. He will also equip his ship with more speed and agility, and fighter drones if they can be purchased in the current sector. The courier receives a wage of 15 credits per mizura flown, paid on completion of each trip.
Freighter pilot 2nd class
The freighter pilot 2nd class is able to distribute four products from five suppliers to ten consumers. He is also able to use modern Jump Drive technology to move around more quickly. The freighter pilot 2nd class is paid a wage of 30 credits per mizura flown, paid after each trip.
Freighter pilot 1nd class
The freighter pilot 1st class is able to distribute five products from five suppliers to ten consumers. Furthermore, he pays close attention to the commercial radio network and will not enter any sectors in which enemy ships have been reported. The freighter pilot 1st class is paid a wage of 35 credits per mizura flown, paid after each trip.
Freighter pilot
The freighter pilot is able to distribute a unlimited number of products from ten suppliers to twenty consumers. Furthermore, he will repair his ship on his own by visiting a shipyard if necessary. The freighter pilot is paid a wage of 40 credits per mizura flown, payable after each trip.
Equipment and Prerequisites
Usage (Logistics for factories, equipment docks and TL class transporters):
- A small class ship (M3, M4, M5, M8, TM, TS, TP) or a ship of the corvette class (M6)

- Fight Command Software MK2 (optional: changes, additional to Fight Command Software Mk1, are made to the pilot's the behaviour at contact with the enemy)
- Navigation Command Software MK1
- Jump Drive (optional: can be utilized after a special training course)
- Transporter Device (optional: used if big ships like TL class transporters are chosen as a destination and the transporter may not dock at the ship)
- Commodity Logistics Software MK1
The main command is started from the Trade Menu. The command "Start internal commodity logistics" is visible when you installed Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and navigational software MK1 in the ship and have assigned a homebase. The command "Start internal commodity logistics" also includes the possibility of further configuration.
Main Menu
[ external image ]
All of the configurations can be entered from here.

Reassign trader
Your pilot needs a bigger/different vessel, you can reassign him to a new ship. Both ships, the new and the old one, must be docked at the same station. After choosing this option, you'll get a list of docked candidates. Choosing a ship, which already has a working pilot onboard will swap the pilots. Each pilot will take all of his existing data with him, to his new ship.
Restore defaults
This will change all the data settings back to their defaults.
Homebase products
[ external image ]
In this list you'll find all the products you can collect from suppliers and deliver to consumers.
Products

Delete stations list
You can delete here the pilot’s entire station list.
Supply conditions
[ external image ]
Here you can change the conditions under which your pilot visits consumers and suppliers.
Minimum storage space filled - Supplier
Normally, the pilot will collect products from suppliers if their storage space above the minimum of 5 percent full. You can change this limit here.
Minimum storage space filled - Consumer
The pilot always visits consumers in order of urgency, but only if the consumer's storage space has a lack from minimum 5 percent. You can change this limit here.
This means, the storage space of the consumer is filled with 96%, this consumer will not be served. With 94%, he will be served.
Fly to supplier exceptionally
The pilot normally visits the suppliers in that order you entered the stations. But he also can visit suppliers in order to their storage space filled.
Restore defaults
This will change all the data settings back to their defaults.
Jump Drive settings
[ external image ]
The pilot can use the modern Jump Drive technology once he is at least Freighter Pilot 2nd class. Here you can change the conditions under which the Jump Drive is to be used.
Use Jump Drive
In normal conditions, pilots don't use the Jump Drive. You can change this here.
Jump Drive energy
If you don't change this order, the pilot will hold a Jump Drive energy reserve of 10 percent of his cargo space. If his journeys are very short or very long, you can change his Jump Drive energy reserve here.
Minimum jump range
To conserve jump-drive energy you can set your pilot a minimum-jump-range.
Restore defaults
This will change all the data settings back to their defaults.
Automatic naming

You can delete all data slots.
Special notes
Note: You can change the lists mid-flight but the changes only become effective after the pilot has finished the current tour.
Jump Drive: If a Jump Drive is installed, the pilot will supply himself with energy from the homebase. He may buy energy from other sources too, if he is not doing a chain-supply tour.
Travel Drive: If a travel drive is installed, the pilot will supply himself with energy from the homebase. He also buys energy from other sources.
Enemy contact: If the freighter has the Fight Command Software MK1, then the pilot may make his ship safer. He buys fight drones in the current sector and equips his ship with more speed and agility. If the experienced pilot has a Jump Drive or travel drive, then he can venture into unsafe sectors. If the freighter has the Fight Command Software MK2 and he can download the Missile defence system Mosquito, he will also buy a number of Mosquito missiles.
Transporter device: It's possible to load TL-transporters with your freighters even when they cannot dock, so you will occasionally need the Transporter Device, which allows the pilot to transfer cargo directly to the TL-transporter. The TL must have stopped his engines, and be standing in space. If the freighter has to load a TL-transporter, and he doesn't have a transporter device, he will wait until the TL has docked to a station and follow him in order to transfer the cargo at the station itself. Sectors located far away will be only visited if the pilot has a Jump Drive.
Headquarter: If the pilot works for the headquarter, the size of his vessels cargo space is automatically the limitation of the cargo space in the headquarter. This rule is applied for every product. The Dock Ware Manager can overrule this, reserving for every product a specified cargo space.
Hint: If you buy the Commodity Logistics Software at the software producer's offices at the Free Argon Trading Station in Herron's Nebula, the producer tries to provide qualified personnel. If you actually start the software at the trading station you might get lucky and receive qualified pilots from the very beginning.
Overview Commodity Logistics Software MK2
Overview
This software allows the pilot to plan a route. The pilot is instructed to follow a given route and the corresponding commodity transfer orders for each intermediate stop entered.
