Trade Route v1.2

Trade Route v1.2

I know there's a lot of autotraders out there but I made another one anyways! This one's unique in that it goes back and forth between selected sectors, with specific or random wares, plus retreats to nearest station when attacked. If it dun work, sorry it's 3am :/

To install:
Copy all files (except 440426) to x2\scripts
Copy 440426 to x2\t

To run:
Ship must have Trading System Extension installed for this command. Upon running the command you are asked to select first the sector that the ship will start in, and second the ending sector. Next are 2 questions, only answer 1. If the ware is selected, the ship will buy this ware in start sector, sell in end sector, fly to buy sector and repeat. If the trade both ways feature is selected the ship will buy random wares in current sector, sell in the next sector from start to end, repeat until it reaches end sector, then switch starting and ending sectors and do it all over again.
If at any time the ship is attacked it will head for the nearest station, and will send a message to you when it arrives or is destroyed. Otherwise, if uninterrupted the script will run indefinately, however as of writing this I can't make the ship show it's command as Trade Route Command. Don't worry, it'll be running even if it says Command: none.

*editv1.2* took out optional trade at player station, better getware, other minor things

*edit v1.1* trading at player stations is now optional, type yes at 5th variable. fixed minprice so ships will dock at nearest ware station even if prices aren't good, just to be safe. ship will use homebase's money instead of players money (if homebase is null I think it's player money)

click: "If not a picture, click here to open full window" It's right below the small box with a red x in it, mid page.
And yes, that striking woman is often the top rated :) I use strike9 cuz it'd free, and Everquest related. Hehe, the screenshots I've seen there :) (while looking for screenshots, not hot chicks!)

must the ship move between sectors for this to work? I am trying to run this script on a ship within one sector and the ship will dock with the first station but then it just sits there (I am trying to buy and sell energy cells only in Home of Light).

Yup, this is for different sector trading, if you want a single sector trader use trade mkIII or other, they're better than mine. However, it will now work in all sectors, I misplaced an end that made the ship never buy. Redownload, stop all ships running it, and reissue commands.

striking picture of some girl in a car
That's quite a famous picture that is all over the web. I seriously doubt that the person who it claims to be is really the person in the picture.
