milling_hordesman's script page

Post by milling_hordesman » Mon, 28. Feb 05, 04:26

hey, all. to get burianek to post links to my scripts here i evidently need to have pages describing all of my scipts. well, i'll just use this one page to cover all scripts i have up at the time. here we go:

MH_AdvJumper v1.74
* scripts that let you "freejump" to any location within a sector for a cost of 1.5x the normal e-cell cost.

* "hyperjump" capability added, allowing you to move about the sector at super-liminous speeds.
* a pair of ships equipped with Singularity Projectors will allow you to create a semi-permanent Warp Gate between any two sectors.

* add a Singularity Slope Tension Converter to your ship to freejump, hyperjump, or project warp gates without expending e-cells. check out the readme for more details.

MH_StationCap v2.0
scripts that helps you more easily/efficiently manage or even automate the finances of your factories. check out the readme for more details.

MH_WareRetrieval v1.1a
scripts that let you remotely retrieve wares from a sector. longer distances require the expenditure of e-cells. great for scavenging enemy sectors and retrieving wares in capital ships. check out the readme for more details.

MH_ECM v1.01
this ship command helps keep the missiles at bay. incoming missiles are "blinded", causing them to do some pretty interesting maneuvers in space. the upgrade doesn't guarantee that all missiles will miss, but for the most part it's pretty good at giving the pilot some breathing room.
note: ECM devices are pretty much wasted on larger ships. stick to equipping them on fighter-, small transport-, or corvette-class vessels.
***warning: ECM doesn't seem to scale very well. while it's perfectly safe and very fun to use on your personal fighter and a small wing of escorts, activating this command on something like 40 ships at once can and will cause some sluggish behavior in the affected ships (though interestingly it doesn't actually cause the game to slow down any).

MH_Reloc v0.0
scripts that let you command ships to continuously transfer wares between two (player-owned) ships/stations or to collect it/distribute it between (player-owned) factories in a sector and a (player-owned) ship/station. useful mainly for supplying your factories with your own resources over long distances.

MH_Carrier v1.22
Basically, the Carrier Launch Refit (as ATC fancies it) is another flavor of "carrier fast-launch" script. it also packages in some AI that lets you direct the actions of fighters that are part of the carrier's squad (the ships that it has available for launching). it essentially lets you dock or scramble all the fighters, and choose whether they should:

when scrambled, they can either:
- protect the carrier/each other from nearby enemies
- attack all nearby enemies
- attack a specific target
and either:
- be suicidal
- retreat to the carrier when <70% hull

when docked, they can optionally:
- launch in groups of 4 to intercept incoming enemies

other commands that i haven't really tested yet allow the carrier to:
- order all damaged fighters to the nearest friendly shipyard for repairs
- order all fighters to the nearest equipment dock for refitting (missiles and such)

regards,

When you update a script, can you put a clue at the bottom of the page? It's just that that list is so long it'll be hard to see what has been updated and what has not! :shock: Thanks! :)

Changes in ADVjumper are things I'm still picking out.
We're doing minor renovations to it so we can adjust the 'fuel' requirement of the Gates, and the TOLL for them so that it balances out the cost of maintinence. *Keeping it fueled without SSTC...*

First lesson of testing, TRY to break it. Then tell the coder what broke.

I don't think you got what he was saying. When you test something, be it a game or a X2 Script, TRY to make it brake and if it does tell the creator what broke along with anything else that you have obversed while testing.

Hmm this is intresting the advjumper is woking fine but the carrier refit isnt.


I cant assign new sqaudrons onmass the command isnt there.

But i can still assign ships 1 at a time to the squadrons.




Oh and when free jumping the ship jumps before your 'special' jumping sequence finishes

hmm... it's possible that you have another set of scripts that interferes with the Assign Squadron command. I know it's working fine for a number of people, and there's no reason that it shouldn't being that it's a standard command assignment, so I can only assume you have something else in your /t files that also uses the same command slot. it's entirely impossible to avoid using the commands that any other script out there uses since there's more demand for slots than there are available slots. i really can't help you, except to say that you probably can move it to a different command slot by changing the number in the /t file and the constant assigned in the setup script.

EDIT: and yes, i'm aware that the jump sound and the actualy jump sequence don't always line up perfectly. it's pretty close when it works correctly, but sometimes the jump occurs prematurely when you're giving commands to other ships during the countdown. this is a problem with the game engine itself, and one that i've noticed on a number of occasions before.

wait, you're saying you think that advanced jumper interfered with the carrier script? that's really, really odd. there's no conflicts as far as i can tell; i can't pretty much assure you it isn't the fault of my scripts. are you sure you haven't installed/changed any other scripts recently that might have caused this? i don't know which commands most of the ones you listed use. look for any /t files that use the 518 command (that's COMMAND_TYPE_NAV_18, i think) and make sure the ship has the upgrade, is all i can suggest.

Im as confused as you are.


Im positive the only scripts ive installed are Carrier v1.22

And i installed the new versions of Advjumper as they came out.


Perhaps teh overwriting so many times of the advjumper caused it to become corrupt?

The problem is on your end. I have all the latest updates. (I'm milling's Beta-tester) and everything works.

If you aren't getting the assign squadron Command in the SPECIAL section, you stand a good possibility of not having ALL the scripts installed, or you do not have the required module installed on the ship.

List the COMMANDS you see in the Special section of the carrier ship command.

hey, im having a huge issue where i have a titan in 1 sector, and im in another, and when ever an enemy enters the sector where my titian is patrolling, it sends me a message every second telling me what is it, and the messages keep coming up until its killed, is there any way u can have it so it only comes up ONCE for each enemy, 10 enemas in 1 sector, and im getting 10 messages a second until there all destroyed, i got up to over 100 messages in like just over a minute...
I don’t no if this has been mentioned b4, but its a very frustrating problem, and I LOVE this mod, the sounds are awesome, and it makes the game, alot, ALOT more fun.
Anyway, that just something I found, so yeah,
