Ah right, thanks Stevo, guess i wont use XXL's then, lol. Unless something can be done to patch this, ah well, only a minor problem to avoid. Thanks for the info.

While I wont modify the XXL mod to be compatible with the crystal free script, it is possible for the player to modify the scripts themself to make it work. What you would need to do is go into each of the lib.*.Ash.Fabs.setup scripts (where * is A, B, P, S, and T) and comment out (by pressing the "." (period) key) the line that puts crystals into the SPPs in each script. The line in question will look like this:

Code: Select all

append Crystals to array $resources

After making this change, you will have to change the version number at the top of al.plugin.XXL.Fabs and reload a save game in order for the checking scripts to update it's database.

I could mirror it, except my version is modded to 10mil/20mil/30mil...

Hehe, that would be awesome if you could Arcana...

and as for the prices...to be honest.. it'd still be a bit of cheating if the prices were double yours

Cheers

Ah thank god its back! I dislike the blatant cheat ones, but I do like the one you pay for, loved it in X2.

Yay.

I tried another script that removes crystals on a complex SPP, and it removed them, but the SPP didn't work...

gaiamark · Post by **gaiamark** » Wed, 3. Jan 07, 13:35

Ah thank god its back!

Is anyone actually able to download this script? I get a 403 FORBIDDEN error each time I try, and I have been at it periodically for almost two weeks. If not, is there a working mirror or would anyone be kind enough to send it to me?

Thanks,
-Mark

EDIT: Stupid me. I should read the whole thread. It seems I'm not the only one unable to download.

ARCANA - I would be grateful for a mirror of your 10/20/30 mil version. It still seems fair :]

So, in short, no this script is not compatibly with Ashley's XXL Factory mod.

Stevo

Yes, it will work. So long as the SPP XXL has the proper resources set. I use it all the time in my game. I've got an older version of the XXL fabs scripts tho, so I have to manually go in and add/change the resources (crystals), then run the remove crystal script on it.

That said, I always use the SPP XXLs in complexes, and I don't know if the newest XXL libraries/setup will revert a stand-alone SPP XXL to require crystals or not (since I don't even have them to try). That may very well be. But in a complex, it'll work on them.

FWIW, I increased the fee to about 20M. Which is prolly still too cheap, but it makes it less of an "easy thing" imo.

Or just manually run the lib.

Not sure if that will work now that its an ALP though...

Can anybody please post a link to this script, as the link in the first post is forbidden,

Thanks

it should cost 10 mill for the M SPP, 20mill for L SPP and 45mill for XL that would make it alot more fair to the people that dont use this script and Better for the people that do use the script cuase otherwise its much to easy to make jillion's of credits just selling Ecells

My 2cents.

and I didnt DL this script, would have made my game too easy.

arcana75 · Post by **arcana75** » Fri, 5. Jan 07, 11:20

I changed my version to cost 10/20/30mil. But ultimately it's up to you how much it should cost

I know it's made my sectors alot neater without all the extra stations to power that SPP...

EDIT: BTW the SPPXL shouldn't cost 45mil: u included the price of the XL itself.

I assume you calculated in the cost of all the support factories, although for an XL I calculate about 20M cost for silicon, crystal, cattle, and meatsteaks. The important thing is that people enjoy playing the game. I don't particularly enjoy having to build some massive infrastructure just to produce energy, when half (not sure of the exact figure) of the energy is taken up to produce the energy. Seems silly to me that the AI in the game doesn't need to do this, and neither do we in real life. Others have a very different opinion, probably depending on whether they like trading or fighting.

Speaking of fairness, on whom is it unfair if someone uses this script?

Just Outta Curiosity, Will This Script Work With

?

Or Will I Haveta Look For A Separate
