Wow, after using your script for the first time, it earned me eight TS class freighters in Acquisition Repository!

Version 1.3b :

Added a line to change the number of elements displayed on each page.

Bonsoir Joubarbe, merci pour ce script.

Is it possible to add an option to show the amount of abandonned ships and wares in credits ?

Joubarbe · Post by **Joubarbe** » Sun, 26. Jul 15, 20:02

Uh, yeah it *is* possible, but I won't do it

Version 1.4 :

- New scanned category : Potential smugglers. You need a Police licence for this to work.
- More code improvements.

In case you don't know what smugglers are, they are Pirates disguised in normal ships, you need a freight scanner to reveal them. If you have EMS, that gives a mission

Version 1.4b :

- Ultimate code improvements. Performance greatly increased due to a single f* line !

Do not "set menu option: $menu, maximum menu height=$height lines" !!!

Yeah, there is a positive difference now - especially when showing 230+ sectors on one page.
Thanks.

1.5 out. Fine tuning things...

BlackArchon · Post by **BlackArchon** » Sat, 1. Aug 15, 16:59

What do you think about a sorting function for your script? If I could sort the list of ~250 sectors by amount of flying wares, or by amount of abandoned ships (both descending), I could just send my loot shuttle to the system with most flying wares, then to the second best, and so on. The same applies to abandoned ships.

Joubarbe · Post by **Joubarbe** » Sat, 1. Aug 15, 17:08

Oh I thought of doing that. But you know, in X3, when you begin to have this state of mind, you never stop. Satellites Monitoring is already a big help, if I give options to sort, I could give an option to display the wares value, to warn the player when an abandoned ship is detected, or an option to send the reaper claim these ships, or whatever "next step" I refuse to do.

You need to work ! Examine thoroughly the monitor and check what is your needs.

It is very unlikely that I will add any new features to this script now.

Ok, if this is your point of view. Thanks for this nice script.

Joelnh · Post by **Joelnh** » Wed, 26. Aug 15, 12:09

nice additions, could you add a column for your ships IS.
for the purpose of finding potential conflicts before they happen.

Thanks alot Joubarbe, you made this so much easier.

A small proposal :
http://capillotracteur.fr/other-resourc ... satmon.jpg

Formatting is way more fuzzy than original version but helps me alot.
It displays a list of abandonned ships using ship class (ex: M7, M4, M4) and total ware value, total ware volume, biggest transport class of wares.

It also filters lines with nothing interesting to display.

It is dirty coding (I don't even know how to use X3 Editor or how menus really works, just played a little with your script using ingame editor) but let me know if interrested by this script version.
It may be considered as cheaty compared to your script (I personally don't care, was tired of checking manually to see wares and if something bigger than a M4).

Thanks again.

Yes I read that and expected this kind of answer, but anyway, when you use someone's else work and modify it you've got to thank him and offer to give back your modifications

Would you allow your mod to be forked for those like me who don't like to check every sector by hand ?

Joubarbe · Post by **Joubarbe** » Mon, 25. Jan 16, 10:30

You can fork everything in any way you want baby. (that should be my EULA for all mods I made and will make)

Version 1.6 :

- Added a "Abandoned ships minimum class filter" option (see the screenshot in the OP). It will browse through all ship classes, following this order : 'M5', 'M4', 'M3', 'TP', 'TS', 'TM', 'M8', 'M7', 'M6', 'TL', 'M1', 'M2'.

I've modified the previous version a bit so that it shows the "best" class in the abandoned column, along with the number (screenshot). The "best" order is: [M5], [M4], [TS], [TP], [M3], [M8], [M6], [TL], [M7], [M2] ,[M1], [M0] (edit: this can be changed in the array at line #187).

The wares column also shows average selling price instead of number of crates.

Here is the file if you're interested.

There aren't any M0 in LU.
