[AL PLUGIN] - Bounty Hunter

Post by **Cycrow** » Sat, 20. Aug 05, 23:18

This is my first script and would basically like to see what people think and any ways in which it can be improved and added to

It allows you to become a bounty hunter, buy creating new ships in the universe that you will get bounties for killing.

The ships that give bounties can be found by installing the bounty hunter list computer from teladi and split equipmenet docks and then landing in trading stations, you will receive a message of the current bounties and can kill or capture them to get some money, more details in the readme.

Hi I installed the bounty hunter script and it did not work, then i tryed putting the files into the foldes my self but I got no joy then I tryed running the cammand "Thereshallbewings" I found a line that looked like it was for turning it on and I pressed L and typed the command "al.bountyhunt.main"
but it still did not work. Am I doing somthing wrong or is there somthing else I need, any help would be great as it sounds like it could be good fun to have
P.S is this ment to be played with the main?
Confused newbie

ok, seems i missed one of the files
al.plugin.bountyhunt.xml
which whould load the al plugin
if you download the file again, it weill have the new file in now as well

you need the script editor enabled to run it, by using "Thereshallbewings"
once loaded it should add options in the al engine settings
if its not there, try saving the game, reinit script cache then load it again

let me know if your still having problems loading it

Sorry for not getting back sooner got it working (thanks for the help) but should my rankings with the races of the bounties be going down when I kill them?

Its a relly good script iv had hours of fun and made a nice few squids blasting
the unexpecting pilots

Post by **Cycrow** » Tue, 30. Aug 05, 23:37

yes they should be going down as the bounties are usually enemies to the race you tkae the bounties with, not there own race, the only case where they shouldn't change is if you take a bounty of the same race, i will add that in later

im also thinking of increasing your rating with the race you take the bounties from as well

Bounties are usually placed on anyone for any reason. Lawful bounties are placed on criminals and enemies of the local political control. Crime lords also put out bounties on enemies.

A Bounty hunter doesn't care, they have only one goal, to get payed.
Bounty hunters are ruthless, when paychecks come in the form of skulls collected, no normal law usually applies. That's one reason Boba Fett was such a bad@$$.

increaseiing your ranking with the race that you took the bounty from would be good, then you can just rotate thru the races to keep in good rating with them....

Great work with this script. It adds a whole new (and much needed) style of game play to X2.

Cool script!

But, the download link provided here is broken:

http://ircwhore.co.uk/script/x2bounty.rar

I only stumbled across a working download accidentally when I was looking for a script by DeltaWolf and also found Bountyhunter on his download page:

http://www.freewebs.com/deltawolf/

The one I could download was "v2", which I assume is version 2.0. The latest files are dated 22 Aug. 2004 (but the folder is from 13 Jan. 2005). Is this the latest version, or was there a more recent one?

From the date this was posted and the date of the files in v2, I assume that these additions never made it into an official release...?

I also think this would be an excellent idea.

What I would enjoy even more, though, is a wider variety of messages on the BSS and the comments that the bounty hunters comm at the player.

it was moved on my server, you can get it from here

most of the changes mentioned went into the X3 Version instead.

Greetings! Does anyone have a valid link for this plugin? I managed to get hold of the v2 file, but I'd like to get v3 - the link to it in this thread is dead.

Thanks in advance!

I'd imagine v3 is somewhere in hte x3 threads (there's no v3 for x2).

There're lots of bounty hunter-like mods/scripts in x3.

A search yielded this for x3 reunion (i did not search terran conflict):

[SCRIPT] Assassins Guild V1.60 : Update 07/08/2006
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... nty+hunter
[SCRIPT] Bounty Hunters Guild V2.80 : Updated 24/07/2007
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... ries+guild
[AL PLUGIN] Pirate Guild: Intelligent Pirate Behaviours | v0.96 (final update)
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... ries+guild

Terran Conflict will undoubtedly have a lot more available.

i have the old file somewhere, ill upload it when i get chance to.

Jonson27, the Bounty Hunters Guild for X3 is basically the updated X3 version of this one

Expressing interest in the status of this plugin. The only working links to anything bounty hunter related adds bounty hunters hunting ME !! LOL ... that could be interesting, but I still want to be able to BE a bounty hunter myself. This is the only script I've seen for X2 that adds that.
Hopin it's available somewhere

The bounty hunter ALP is avaible in baubsmyth's archive. Have a look at the second post of the Index of X2 Community Plugins.

artao · Post by **artao** » Wed, 1. Dec 10, 00:28

hmm
you see tho, I did download that very file, and just tried again to double check .... again it's the mod where bounty hunters are hunting YOU (ME), not the one where YOU can be a bounty hunter.

from the readme in the linked file: "With this plugin every now and then you will come across some bounty hunters from different clients that desire nothing more than to end your life ("There is no escape. Better surrender now!"). These bounty hunters are of different origins, i.e. there are not only Mandalays, Bayamons and Orinocos, but all ships of all races except Xenon and Khaak. Now you can fight against other enemies without losing rank or search for BBS bounty hunter missions."

Perhaps I'm confused, and this plug-in adds BOTH aspects of bounty hunting, but nowhere in the readme does it mention being able to actually BE a bounty hunter oneself.
Like I said, I don't mind being hunted, but I also want to be the hunter.
