Hi,
I'd really like to use this script. I really like your scrips (and am eagerly awaiting your yaki script!), but for some reason I can't access your site? Is it down? If it's not down, is there any chance you can this and also anarkis defense script on a file sharing site? I'm in Japan, so maybe there is a problem with the connection to your site from here?

Or, can anyone download them for me and email them to me?

New Release !


I was in a bad mood last time I posted (lost most of my work due to a HD crash including Yaki Armada and Factions:AI) and I judged the npc bailing addon quite badly with no reason. As a matter of fact it's quite well written apart from a couple of minor bugs (bailing drones and probably wrong signal prio) and a setup file that should be rewritten to prevent the enforcing of secondary signals each time a savegame is loaded, allowing other plugins like mine to locally disable it on a given ship. Anyway, here's the good news : PG 1.35 is now compatible with this script and it got rid of both the crash and the reward bugs.

Thanks a lot to Craterface for spotting the issue :)

For scriptwise people, NPC bailing addon is indirectly triggering a SIGNAL_CAPTURED when a ship bails. Usually it only happens when the player cause the ship to bail, so my own signal 'captured' was assuming that the player was doing the job (like the default one do) and a reward message was sent. It's now fixed. The system crash was caused because the bailing ship changes its ownership to 'neutral' and because my attack script wasn't checking for a change of ownership. So my ships beeing unable to stop (as the target still exists) and unable to run the !fight.attack.object (as it stops immediatly on neutral things), it triggered an infinite loop, crashing the game.

Another good news related to this script is that i will probably use it as an addon (if detected, like ADS) to allow the Guild to salvage nearby abandonned ships and capture astronauts that will be converted as slaves. I'm currently on my way to finish this, but i thought that you'd like to get the fixed version as soon as possible, so here it is!

I also corrected the last few remaining bugs, mostly things that you won't notice, apart from a spawning issue related to the Pirate Guild Brigantine (that appears after a long while when the guild has enough money to afford it). I also altered the way this ship is handled, it now works exactly like the PG frigates (m7) and can use a jump-beacon to appear directly next to the attacked pirate base, so beware if you still think you can destroy those big Pirate Guild Strongholds while the M2 is slowly moving across the sector.

I've been trying to get your scripts for ages. I've tried accessing your site on at least 10 different days. The site has always been inaccessible. :(

I have tried using PG and ADS alongside RRF

But i am finding that when i run at SETA 1000x the game is very choppy. I disabled ADS and RRF and it is still choppy, so i am guessing the PG is working alot behind the scenes?

Is anyone able to confirm?

I have this just by running Vanilla though, but at 1000x a bit choppyness is expected.

Yeah, I can confirm this, while running Pirate Guild and on SETA (6x), often everything on the sector map would stop moving and then suddenly jump, factory production bars would do the same. Also, my autopilot and ai ships often suddenly stopped to 0 m/s and hang there until i turned off SETA, then after a few secs they would start moving again.

I even had a game freeze when a huge pirate fleet invaded Argon Prime.

I uninstalled it and the problem seems to be gone. I don't know if this is actually a code problem (maybe some wait commands missing?) or simply just a performance thing (though my PC is pretty good).

This is normal and not related to scripts directly. Lets not let this become misinformation.

Read Serial's last post a bit higher, v1.35 is compatible now. Sounds like the scripts were fighting over a SIGNAL event.

Hello all

I have a question. I am friends with the PG and the pirates but some pirates are still red. Is this a bug? Normal? If I get my rep up will all pirates turn blue to me?

Thx all

@Serial Kicked: Happy to help :)

@LordArconius: Normal behaviour, if you mean the 3 ship patrol that sometimes leave a station try scanning them all and they usually turn blue. Even with max rep there is the occasional red pirate group flying around.

(if you get what seems to be the group leader on first try they all turn blue)

Edit: I can't find it at the moment but there is a thread about making a script forcing all pirates/xenon ship to turn blue and stay that way you could use if you find it annoying. I don't play X3TC for the moment but I attached the script I used for it (made from the instructions here at the forum) but it will also turn all pirate stations blue...if I remember correctly...adn I'm not sure if it actually works on those small patrols that you probably mean. :)

Compatibility

This plugin IS NOT compatible with Friendly Pirates which is messing with relationship to pirates. FF must be uninstalled first. The Marauder Shipyard may be conflicting with my own pirate shipyards, untested. This script IS NOT compatible with NPC Bailing Addon either.

Hi joelR

What I was talking about is how to turn the pirates blue in the way of updating the PG script. Just an idea.

I can live with the laging sectormap while SETA, but that my game crash while donating credits to the Guilt is hard to live with.

because you have no textfile
you have to change the names and you have to edit the textfiles.

rename the "8511-L044.xml" to "8511-L049.xml" and the "8513-L044.xml" to "8513-L049.xml"
as next you have to edit both t files with an txt editor.
open them and change "language id="44"" to "language id="49"" and you don't get this readtext blablabla messages in german version anymore. i did it same way. :wink:

but in version 1.35 is a bug that the game freeze up after donation to a pirate base :cry:
