[SCRIPT] Compare Ship Stats

[Graxster]

Tired of switching between info screens to decide which ship is better for you? Or maybe you're writing the stats down? Or maybe you want to see if the ship you're about to attack can kick your butt? This script will allow you to select two ships and will display side-by-side info on both. The only stats I couldn't get were max cargo (upgraded), rudder and acceleration.

Ah, I have been looking for something like this for sometime now. Thank you very much Grax!

[Idea]

Graxster you are the MANNNN.Thanks

[corhen]

graxter, in my mind you are only second to cycrow

but is it possible to have the columns line up?

i notice that the two columns are side by side, with what appears to be a tab in between them

while it makes it easier to read, in some cases in could become confusing

is it posible for it to be more like excel, with a grid, and the numbers in the grid?

Thanks

Awesome again! Too bad there is no way to add images

[Graxster]

is it possible to have the columns line up?

I would if I could, but X3 uses one of those fonts (variable width fonts) where each letter/symbol takes up a different amount of space, as opposed to a fixed space. Therefore if I made them line up for one ship (because of the names/numbers), they would be out of alignment for any other ship.

Can you use like a [left][/left] center (centre?) right thing to make the text into columns?

[goodgimp]

is it possible to compare two ships from a list, ala the ship list in the Encyclopedia? Or does one have to select ships via the sector maps?

I guess you could use the Chem String Functions Library if it is working now, and I didn't misunderstood it's purpose?

Cheers!

That's right. Chems String Library is exactly what you need. It worked perfectly for me. Especially the 'sprintf' function with the extended possibilities in t files is very helpful.
