ASEWS - Adv Sat Early Warning System

Post by Burianek »

Ok, this great script has now been uploaded to: Xscripting.com's misc download page
(edit 6/1/05 site is no longer available)

The script can now be downloaded from X2Source.

Original author: Steelwind_oo

This script causes all of your advanced satellites to scan the sector they are placed in for the presence of khaak ships.
If they are found, a message is sent to the player.

I've edited the original version slightly so that the script simply writes the message to the logbook and does not pop it up on screen (this could get irritating) I'm assuming I have permission to do this as the author posted instructions on how to do it. :) If this is not the case, notify me and I'll remove it. (I tried looking for you here and on xscripting, but could not locate you)

Great script Steelwind_oo!

Cheers.

I have the earlier version of the this script which I found invaluable, but now that the khaak aren't such a threat, the pop-ups are getting irritating. I'd love to try the 'post to log' version, but I get a bad link for the last two days at xsource, and haven't been able to get my hands on it.
Any other sites carry it? :)

*edit* At the link above, at xscripting, not xsource :oops:

Hmm, looks like they've added some sort of password thingy to prevent ppl mass downloading on xscripting.
Doesn't work for me now either.
Write a quick message to the site admin (or if all of the links are broken cuz the password thingy doesn't work I'm sure he knows)
It's a good site, he should have it sorted soon.

All is well, I (belatedly) read the readme, and managed to change the script to not use popups (although it cost me my log, it got up to 24 meg before I turned off the verbose mode, and took 45 seconds to load, scary for a text file), and not be verbose.

invaluable as the script was at first (it still is in many ways) I have enough patrols now to not need the constant warning all the time. how do you stop it from sending the "incoming message" warning? it's getting a little annoying having to fight through 200 odd messages every time i SETA, or is it a case of removing the whole script (which i dont want to since it works with Marks patrol commands i think)

If you want to stop the message, just scroll down to the line that reads:

Code: Select all

$message -> send incoming message to player, display it = [TRUE]
(or something like that)
and delete it, or comment it out.

Check around at the other sites listed at the bottom of the tutorials / resources sticky thread. One of them should have it.

does any-one know how to make the script also or just incl nav sats .. I tryd by replacing the selected "ware" in the script being Advanced sat .. and changed it to Navigation Sat .. but this didnt seem to work .. or it at least didnt seem to judging by the activation-mess. you get .. (also changed the scan-range so it would be right for the nav sat .. that "did" seem to work .. so there shouldnt be anyy kinda conflict in that )..

In the interest of keeping "stickied scripts" available, I found this script for download at The Commander's Space Station.

Xscripting.com is gone now, and X2Source has been taken offline until at least this October. And The Commander's Space Station is down now, too. :( X2 fans are disappearing and X2 fansites are dropping like flies, so it's getting rather difficult to find working downloads for X2 scripts... :(

For these reasons, I've uploaded the ASEWS script to a file host myself:
Download ASEWS.zip

(Thanks to Maverick01 for sharing this. :) )
I'd like to see these scripts preserved.

Three years down the road and I'm just downloading this! Just wanted to let you know (and other X² players/modders) that their efforts are STILL appreciated! Many thanks to all of you!!
