Is there any script that can add a command "Remotely buy specific wares to x quantities"?

Post by Rotite » Sat, 3. Dec 22, 09:43

Simple as title, I didn't wanted anything complex but just a remote buy function that can order my escort/fighters to fetch few small stuff for a bigger ship such as ordering Falcon haulers to get some x quantities of energy cells repeat about x times for my Mammoth.
Yes, many scripts had a similar function, but some were didn't worked as expected. Most are seems to be broken, not working as intended, or doesn't have a function what I was looking for.

I just wanted this function to minimize micro management, I was astonished that no one had thought the same as me before.
I obviously had checked Community Script & Mod Download Library for X3: Terran Conflict and X3:AP to desperately find what I want.. yet it all failed :cry:


Here is a list what I tried so far :

Manual Trade Extension -> Ships doesn't go back to homebase ship, I even had a transporter device and turned on advanced jumpdrive settings just for this, nothing worked. Seems to be broken.

Universal Best Buys/Sells Locator -> Doesn't have a quantity option.

Anarkis Defense System ( ADS ) -> I thought the Buy ware for carrier function this script had would order ships to repeat until the ordered command is fulfilled, it wasn't. I expected the Buy ware command's quantity option it had would be meaning of how many items/wares for a homebase ship / carrier. It was, but it didn't repeat until the asked amount is filled up, what it asked for was just how many amounts in a single trip with multiple ships. If the asked order was an overflow of a summed-up fighter's total leftover cargo slots, it didn't fetch the rest of the amounts I asked to filled up. :(

Large Ship Ware Manager v0.8 -> It was perfect in description! It was exactly what I was looking for, but the mod was incomplete and too old and different for the game to support. :( Yes I do know spkconvert is a thing.

Wing Trade Commands - Buy ware and Sell ware. -> It had what I was looking for too, and somewhat seems to be working to this day as well unlike the most of the rest above, but forcing the changing Wing members everytime was quite annoying. It would surely bother me when I get a larger fleet too. I can't give up multiple Wing slots just for a each TL to resupply. All I wanted was a direct order to or from the ships docked inside. :|

Extended Trade Command Software -> doesn't work with a homebase ships, only the stations.



Here is a list what I yet to try :

Auto Prep Ships -> Latest files were dead, old ones causes CTD as people said before.

Ware Hunter -> Seems like just for a weapon and shield etc, dunno about other wares but if it work, I'd give a shot on this but script wasn't updated for years, doubt will it work. I'm sure highly likely not seeing of the Manual Trade Extension mode.

TL/TS Storehouse v0.02 -> I sorta gave up with doing it by fighters, thought of doing it with TL itself instead. Yet the file host was unfriendly and kept rejecting me from downloading it :gruebel: Does anybody has a copy of it? Archive.org wasn't helpful with it either too.



...Yes I'm still scrolling down to find what I really looking for, I will add more scripts in list here to help people who are looking for the function just like me to the future.
Yet, the more I scroll down, the more I can't believe this simple feature doesn't exist in any form, in base game or script.. whatever.. :cry:


Anybody please send me some help? :? it's been a week already struggling to find a simple function...

Tender by Lucike comes to my mind. Doesn't seem to have an English topic, but an English text file is included.

Aw dang, yes it seems to be the one I was looking for, but have to get pilot for each of them and "Class TS and TL transport ships can be used as tenders." :|
Since original sentence wasn't written in English, I'm not entirely sure about that whether it means TS and TL are 'ALSO' allowed, or wrongly translated just like another tuesday Google translator; that only TS and TL are allowed.
Is it working with other classes too?

It only works on TM, TS and TL class ships.

At a first glance the ship class check only appears in the script file plugin.tender.select. Therefore it's easy enough to make the command available on other ship classes, too.
plugin.tender.select.pck.zip
Simply extract the .zip-archive to your scripts folder and replace the existing plugin.tender.select file with it. Afterwards start/load your game. This should make the command available on all moveable ships.

Please note that I haven't checked thoroughly whether there are any other ship class dependencies that would prevent other ship classes than the three mentioned from executing the command correctly.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot soon.
