[SCRIPT] Finray's Ware Delivery Service

Post by Finray »

When I got my HQ, I decided to RE my Hyperion. This takes around, what 22-23 hours or something? So I toughed it out in my LX for that time. When it came around to rebuilding it, I figured I'd just need some credits, some ore, just a few things. Oh no, you needed lots more than that. And you had to fly all over the universe to get it, sometimes having to make multiple trips >.<

Anyway I was sitting there at half 1 in the morning thinking I just cannot be bothered to do that. So I activated the Script engine, and started messing about. At about 2 o'clock I finally finished the script, that would just give my factory everything it needed to make the ship.

I was going to share that with all of you, but I figured you'd find it cheap, so I put in a line which takes 10 million from the player. At average prices, all the wares you need comes to about 7.7 million, so I added 2.3 million for delivery.

~~~Installation~~~

Download this file, and put it in "C:\Program Files\EGOSOFT\X3 Reunion\scripts" (or wherever your install is, that's the default).

~~~Using the Script~~~

Important!
You must make your ships homebase as your HQ. You can (in theory, not been tested) use this on a ship other than the one you are currently in, but it definately works on the one you're flying currently.

Open the script editor and go down to "ware". Hit 'r' and select your ship. You'll receive a message confirming your order.

That's it! :)

Comments, criticism and suggestions are welcome, but go easy, as this is my first script ;)

If there's enough demand, I could do a revised edition, with more ships than just the Hyperion. Just tell me what ships you want in and I'll work it into a newer release.
If I forget to say I'm playing X3:R. :P

Seems like a nice idea, one suggestion though, I'd up the surcharge by alot. If a player has a Hyperion and a PHQ then a few million isn't much money. Also Scripts and modding forum will probably net you the best response :wink:

Not just that, it's a fairly fundamental requirement of keeping the forums tidy (and therefore part of the [url=http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=80488][b]Fo[/b]rum [b]Rul[/b]es[/url]).

Moved.

RE'ing takes a lot less if you use one of the HQ patches that speed things up.

Getting resources for an M6 doesnt take all that long if you scrap every capped ship you get.

Can I suggest you rename this ? "Delivery service" implies that this is a trade script that allows you to move stuff from your factories to your docks easily, which is something that is still not adequately addressed.

This isnt that. Its just a script to give a single ships resources for a lot of money.

I'd call it "Instant resources to build a Hyperion".

Sorry and thanks ^^

Regarding the name, how about "Hyperion Resource Delivery Service"?

Its the delivery service bit that is likely to mislead.

Have a look in the sticky thread at the other trade scripts and what they do and compare names. There are several delivery service type scripts already, but they are all about ship commands and moving wares around.

I smell Reunion, and push once more to yet another Forum. It will break a "[Moved]" ghosts, but X3R and X3TC are different beasts in the light of S&M. :)
