Activating scripts

I have downloaded and installed 'MoveToCoordinates-V1.00-10.05.2009' and 'UniversalBestBuysSells_251'

How do i activate them?

I gather that there is an Activating The X3 Script Editor guide, can someone please direct me to it?

There's a sticky topic, at the top of the board. It's called Tutorials and Resources for a good reason

OK, I can now see the script editor... my question is, how do i load my UniversalBestBuysSells_251 script that i got off the net?

I have installed it via The Plugin Manager, yet i cant see it anywhere within the game...

you should save then reload to make the game run the script, then follow the instructions on how to use the actual script. for the uniBB/BS, its:

Commands through the Trade section on your command console. Select either Universal Best Buy or Universal Best Sell, then select a ware.
Requires that the ship have Best Buys Locator or Best Sells Locator installed.

OK, I have saved then reloaded... still cant see it...

I gather it should be under the normal trade window...

Do i need to do anything else rather than install it, activate the script editor and then save/reload my game?

Does it need to be manually loaded via the script editor?

do you have the necessary equipment installed?

Canning_s · Post by **Canning_s** » Sat, 30. Jan 10, 06:22

Yes, i have both the Best Buys Locator and Best Sells Locator installed

I have tried MoveToCoordinates-V1.00-10.05.2009 as well with no luck.

Currently i am using X-Universe Plugin Manager Lite V1.10. If i use this tool to install a package, quit out, go back into the plugin manager, there is nothing there?

Should there be something there? Is it installing properly?

no, youre supposed to do that.

ok try this,

instead of exiting out, launch TC with the plugin manager.

Do you mean keep the plugin manager open as i load X3: TC?

Done that, still no luck.

Try this, navigate to where you have the SPK for the script, double click on it.

This should auto load it into the Plugin Manager and install it into your game at the same time.

If Plugin Manager opens, check to see if the scripts are installed.

If not, you have a prob with either the SPK or the Plugin Manager, if this is the case i would recommend re downloading both of them.

Close the Plugin manager Before you run the game, The Plugin Manager does most of its file work on Close.

no, on the bottom of the manager, there should be a "launch X3TC 2.5" button.

mark_a_condren, when i try and double click on the file, the error comes up saying i need to be in modified mode, then quits.

no, on the bottom of the manager, there should be a "launch X3TC 2.5" button.

I see no such button, I have version 1.10 updated on 23/01/2010

Could this version not be fully tested?
Is there a previous version that you know for a fact works that i could try out?

Catra · Post by **Catra** » Sat, 30. Jan 10, 10:07

hrm,

what method of installation are you doing?(as in, drag and drop, or going to file --> install package)

Canning_s · Post by **Canning_s** » Sat, 30. Jan 10, 10:29

file --> install package

I see that the version of the script is 2.51

Should that be working?
