[SCRIPT] Salvage Claim Software V1.05 : Updated 29/06/06

[Cycrow]

so i mean SOSMK2, just before the release of Salvage Claim software, i released a new version of SOSMK2, this version included an uninstall script that removes the wares from the game.

theres a few ways you can do
you could simple install the newest version of SOSMK2, and uninstall, then you run the game the uninstall scripts will be run automatically
then just exit out and clear the uninstall scripts from the script manager, theres and option in advanced to do it, this basically removes the scripts used to uninstall.

or, u could install it, run x3, run the uninstall.override script, then just uninstall it from the script manager and clear the uninstall scripts

or of course i could just simply ignore them

Cycrow, Thanks - reinstalled SOSMKII 1.04 and now works. Nice to be able to pick up your "prize" in a hot area without getting killed all the time.

Hi.

I just installed your salvage-script and am now facing some minor trouble, namely when I try to assign a key to it, in the controls-menu "readtext 7533-1" is displayed. As far as I know this happens when the script and the associated t-file don't fit together. So I had a look at the 497533.xml (I'm using the german version) and compared it to the 447533.xml and found out that they're different.
Now I don't know how to create an xml in the first place, but I already translated some of them and found that they needed to be the same in structure to work properly. But these two aren't, so I figured that it couldn't work this way.

497533.xml

Code: Select all

(Note that there isn't a "t id id=1" entry as is the english version. I thought this caused the readtext 7533-1 message in the controls-menu)

...but it still doesn't work.

What is going wrong here? Can you help me out?

[Cycrow]

ok, i've updated it with the language files, try downloading it again and c if it works

[VoodooPriester]

No, it doesn't work. I still get this "ReadText7533-1" in the options-menu. The name of the ware is displayed correctly, btw.

[Cycrow]

try putting this in the t directory, http://x3.ircwhore.co.uk/497533.rar

and c if it works

[VoodooPriester]

It still doesn't work. Perhaps the file was alright all along and something else is wrong? But what?

[Cycrow]

actaully i think i know what it might be, u might have to uninstall it first, so unregister the hotkey, then when u run it again it will register it with the new text.

its very possible that the text is fixed once you register is so changing the text file has no effect

[VoodooPriester]

That didn't work either.
When no one else has this problem, I'd say we leave it at that for the moment. I can live with one readtext in my keysettings, as long as I know what it means...
The problems really start, when other scripts decide to behave in a similar way. But untill then I can accept one ugly readtext.

Bad news Cycrow, DD and RS don't want us using your SCS in their mod. Their making it so that bigship flyers and kha'ak can bail.

Unfortunately, their using the ware slot for your software for a 'Permit' (Should be a cargo item, not an extention/upgrade, similar to AalaardB's Salvage Mod for the Salvage Liscence).

In doing it that way, they also make it impossible to cap fighters, and if you disable a Kha'ak fighter in their space, your out of luck.

In truth, they could have asked you to put a check in your script that finds out if its being run with DDRS installed, and not work with 'bigship's. Would have been relatively simple to code in.

Oh well, not upgrading DDRS anymore.

[apricotslice]

Oh well, not upgrading DDRS anymore.

Good reason for avoiding DDRS then.

In my opinion, this is a NECESSARY script to make the game less frustrating. Any mod which disables it, is not a mod I would consider using.

Unfortunately, their using the ware slot for your software for a 'Permit'

Cycrow, you will just have to bring out a 2nd version just for DDRS users, where the software is in a different place in the wares file.

[greatmagnus]

I get
"X Script Installer.exe has encountered an error and needs to close"

Everytime I try to run the scirpt

[Cycrow]

what version of the script manager do u have ?

[greatmagnus]

Ah, that must be it. I ahve the same one from like 3-4 months ago. Thanks ^_^

[greatmagnus]

It works now, yay ^_^
