the point of missions such as this is to give the player something to do. letting your minions handle it is besides the point.

Post by **Cycrow** » Tue, 27. Dec 05, 16:11

yeah i agree, the mission should never remove the player from it alltogther

just adding escorts to ur ship might help you give some of ur ships more meaning, but for that to happen, it needs to be very hard to complete on ur own

not an easy task to achive

Crush · Post by **Crush** » Tue, 27. Dec 05, 16:57

well, the player should have a choice to protect the vip himself or to let his 'minions' do it.

because following around slow transports when no pirates at all attack and get a few credits for it is not at all interesting, imho. that's what happens at lower levels. so i just want to join in when the actual fun begins...

plus, it would just be normal if the vip doesn't actually have to be protected by the player. i can't be there for all the vips in the universe! what if someone else needs help more than the one i'm guarding now? so let me build an escort empire that provides escorts throughout the univers!

u could just do other missions to build up ur levels and start doing the escort ones when ur level is higher

so you aren't going to add oos escorts then, are you...

Post by **Cycrow** » Tue, 27. Dec 05, 18:04

nope, would be too much effort
and the player should really do the missions

Crush · Post by **Crush** » Tue, 27. Dec 05, 19:03

ok then.

another thing... all the yaki in my universe (except during the invasion missions) are friendly. they don't show up red in the map. but they are yaki... so why aren't they red?

i was running the yaki armada script for a while, that spawned tons of yaki in one sector. i think there is a bug there somewhere. but still, they should appear red to me.

i have set all the friend/foe settings correctly...

All Yaki in the game appear as friendly, and don't actually attack the player unless attacked.

I think it might be a bug with 1.3, but I'm not sure.

Oh and almost forgot to add a big THANK YOU to Cycrow for all these scripts... I've just downloaded the ones I thik I'll use and am gonna use them all a bit later... Thank you good sir!
You have to activate the script editor to allow them to work though right? Then save the game and reload, then they work?

Just checking.

Post by **Cycrow** » Fri, 30. Dec 05, 06:36

yes, u need to activate the script editor

the yaki thing seems to be something to do with 1.3
maybe this will change in future patches

the strange thing is that my ships think they're enemies, whereas i think they aren't. because they attack them if told to 'attack all enemies'.

you know, the bbs is getting quite full of different messages... it would be nice if egosoft would add some kind of filter to the system. something like 'jobs', 'news', 'guilds' and more.

and it would be even better if the messages could contain images. the scripts are similar to xml, right? so why not have html in it? like in freelancer - the news had images attached, which were interesting sometimes. would make news look cooler in the game.

the bbs is a big part of the game, so i think ego should overhaul it a bit more... but since they still have to catch a load of bugs, i guess it won't be happening any time soon.

and about the scripts... could it be possible that the vip doesn't fail the mission if i leave him? because it happens a lot when i'm fighting the attacking pirates near some gate and the vip jumps and tells me that i have failed because i'm too far away. but i was just protecting the guy and didn't notice when he jumped.

the same goes with docking at stations. i was following a vip and noticed that there is a spp 4 km away. i was low on ecs, so i docked. and bam, i had failed the mission...

Post by **Cycrow** » Fri, 30. Dec 05, 16:45

yeah, the idea of the escort is that u always stay close to him to "escort" him to his destination

u fail the mission when the escort gets too far away from the gate b4 u jump in, its 10km from the gate

if i removed that, then the mission would become to easy, as you just have to sit somewhere while the escorts heads to the destination

the enemies are triggered when u jump through, so if you dnt go through the gate, no enemies will attack

This will probably seem like a real n00b question.

I downloaded the entire (Cycrow) scripts collection (self installing exe)

Now I can't find any offers to join guilds at any station anywhere. Are they just hard to find or do you have to activate the scripts somehow???, or are they just not working?

PS. first time with scripts.

Need help guys, please tell me what to do

Post by **Cycrow** » Mon, 2. Jan 06, 00:57

what u need to do is activate the script editor, none of the scripts will work without this

theres a sticky at the top of the forum with information on how to do it, its fairly simple, onces its activated, just save ur game, and reload it, then the scripts will start to work

u should c offers quite often to join the guild, of course its random so they dont always show up

foxd0nut · Post by **foxd0nut** » Mon, 2. Jan 06, 01:27

Thanks Cycrow for the speedy reply.

Got them working now

btw great script ideas. Should make X3 much more fun now.

Cheers camp3r

I seem to be getting experience for the deliver X to station Y missions for the merc guild, however, i am not getting any experience in the guild for the kha'ak invasion ones. My rank with the different races is flying though

HI Cycrow,

I can't download aby of your scripts

. It asks me to dial up an MSN account on my modem

. I only use the modem if my Broadband goes down which it hasn't yet.

When I disable modem dialing it kust says the page is unavailable.

This happens for all of your links for downloads. Any ideas? They sound really good and i was wanting to try a few out.

Thanks.

BB

Me to was wondering this, if some form of graphical image could be inserted into the BBS system... sure would brighten it up some what.
