Befehlsbibliothek "Libraries"
(Version 3.5.01 - 28th August 2010)




Overview Befehlsbibliothek "Libraries"

The libraries are used for several extensions. Without these libraries you'll get a associated error message in your game. It's important to always install the most recent version of the libraries.

The libraries are needed for following extensions:

• CODEA Weapon System
  
• Commercial Agent
  
• Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and MK2
  
• Economy and Supply Trader
  
• Jump Beacon
  
• MEFOS Weapon System
  
• Military Transport
  
• Personnel Transporter
  
• Prospector
  
• Ship Hotkeys
  
• Security and Rescue Service

Preparing Befehlsbibliothek "Libraries"

The Download

-> Befehlsbibliothek "Libraries" (Version 3.5.01)
... if this link is broken, Lucike most likely updated his library and deleted the old one. Please download from the German topic then.


Required: X³: Terran Conflict Version 2.5 or newer (not compatible with X³: Reunion) !!


Activating the Script Editor

Activating the script editor is not necessary for using the libraries. The libraries include a script that automatically sets the game to ***modified***.

With the script editor activated, the display of debug information can be enabled in the script editor menu. On default this option is disabled and it is recommended to be left off as it might be confusing to some gamers. To avoid this, it is possible to run other unsigned scripts without starting the script editor. This requires a change in the script's boot file, but will mark your game as ***modified*** as well.

Installation

Simply extract the *.zip file to your X³ TC folder. The .zip file includes the folders “\scripts\...” and “\t\...” which also exist in your X³ TC folder. Any additional folders in the *.zip file are for maintenance and uninstalling and should also be extracted to your X³ TC folder.

Updating to a newer version

Simply extract the new version to the X³ TC directory. There are files in "\scripts" and "\t", as well as other folders. These other files are used for maintenance and uninstalling. You may overwrite older files.

To remove obsolete or unused files, run "Delete old Libraries Scripts.bat", found in "\scripts.delete”. This step is not necessary, but will keep your script folders organized.

Good job to keep these in one index.

I've two questions:

-Can we use scripts like "Blue Print Manager" which do not have an English topic under a English version of X3TC ? Or it will pop up some crazy German language all over the screen?
[On in other I don't really know what is this script doing, I probably answer to myself.]

-Why Jump Beacon is not repertoried? Because it is on alpha stage?

Again, great job

|I don't know if I can post here|


Edit: Ok thank you very much

[Saetan]

Any script in the collection should have at least a German and a English language file, sometimes even others too. So any of them should be usable without restrictions under the English version of the game. If a topic is missing, it's most likely that just nobody translated the manual yet.


Jump Beacon was missing in the list, because it wasn't added to the Script Collection itself yet. The script collection is quite old now, the only reason why I started that topic was because of the link list and the libraries.

For the Jump Beacon I though, it's enough if it's linked from the other topics. I changed that now.



edit:
PS:
It's allowed to post in this topic
Script-related questions and discussions are supposed to be posted to the correct support topic ... if there isn't (an English) one, it can be posted here.


edit 2:
A kind of wrong information about the Jump Beacon and why it's not in the collection. The main reason is, because Jump Beacon uses script commands which are only available in X³:TC 2.5, while the collection still is supposed for "X³:TC 2.1 or newer" ... so Jump Beacon doesn't meet the release conditions for the collection.

[Luisedgm]

So, lemme see if i understood:

Commercial Agent = Its a much better version of Trade mk3
Commodity Logistics = Supply for large complexes/multiple bases
Economy and Supply Trader = keep NPC bases working at 100%
Prospector = Mine for you and sell

So, the one who makes more money should be the Prospector right? followed by Commercial Agent, Economy and Supply Trader, and the last would be Commodity Logistics.

Can someone confirm please?

[Neaera]

As I utilize these like:

Prospector: Mining Minerals (And stocking in TLs)
EST: Universal Trader (mk3++)
CA: For selling products / buying resources for my stations
CLS: Take Resource A from place 1 to place 2. Take resources B from place 2 to place 1.

[Saetan]

[Luisedgm]

i will then make a single PSC to test how well he will do, i don't think his equipment is expensive, its half of a MK3.
