V1.06
Removed support of Cargo settings on EQ and Trade Docks. There are some problems with this, as Trade Docks and EQ Docks don't have Cargo settings. Next version will include support for these docks for sell percents and max buy max sell settings. Right now they function normally. I left the command remove all cargo command open so people can remove these settings if they wish as they mean nothing. It doesn't hurt to leave it on the station but they're not used for anything.
Cleaned up some small errors in buying and selling wares for PHQs.
Fixed a couple of messages that could get cut off if to long.
Added listings with ware types in List all prices command. Should make it even easier to find Wares.
Need to do:
Fix listings to go from a - z instead of z - a
Make the list all percents list by type.
Allow players to choose what type of wares are listed.
Make PHQ build and outfit escorts for Traders.
V1.07
Added support back in for Trade Docks and EQ docks. Mainly for Trade Docks though.
Improved the Sell Products routine, it is now sorted to try to sell the Wares you have the most of. This should improve speed as I also slimmed the routine a bit.
Fixed a Small Bug pointed out to me by -Boron - Ol Fh'art
Added a new commands:
List JumpFuel Settings: All Stations This command will list JumpFuel Reserves for all stations.
List JumpFuel Settings: One Station This command will list JumpFuel Reserves for one station.
Set JumpFuel: All Stations This command will set JumpFuel Reserves for all stations you own. -1 will remove JumpFuel Setting, Traders will use default 15%.
Set JumpFuel: One Station This command will set JumpFuel Reserves for one station you own. -1 will remove JumpFuel Setting, Traders will use default 15%.
These commands do what they say, All Station Administrator Traders will use the settings to determine the amount of Energy they will stock. Useful if they're jumping far.
As a result of this I revamped the selection screen. Enjoy.
Yep, Just don't assign Traders. Then the PHQ won't trade anything.
If you want it to buy but not sell. Make all traders IMPORTERS.
If you want it to buy and sell but not sell certain things. I suggect setting the sell percents for all wares to 100% then going through and lowering the ones you want to buy and sell to 90% or 80% Etc Etc.
This will make the station import and wares set to 100% and normally trade the others.
Another way would be price setting setting the Min Sell high will make it less likely to trade a ware the higher it is. Example is weapons and shields set the Min sell to 1 credit above average and the station will never sell it.
Although, I don't see why you wouldn't want to trade through the PHQ. Mine makes money because of how I have the prices set up. It even trades weapons and shields. But, it only trades those to EQ docks that actually stock the ware. No cheating there.
Rule of thumb is make sure you set up CARGO/MAX and MIN prices/SELLING Percent for all products on the PHQ/TD/EQ BEFORE you start the traders. If you start traders and then try to set everything up the traders will trade normally while you're doing so.
While this may be the best thing since sliced bread (what was the best thing before sliced bread?), with no further development or bug fixes possible, who in their right mind is going to use it? Especially since its been a mere 17 days since the script was announced!
It sure sounded good when you began, though. Sorry to see development stop so soon. Oh well, whatever your reasons, good luck to you.
What bugs? I mean I don't see any posts from anyone using it saying there was or are bugs... B o'f has helped me kill a couple things and improve the script. But as far as I know everything was working as it should or at least to a level good enough for people to accept.
Yes, I'm still around. If and it's a big if I can get a couple things going on righted I'll come back to scripting. Right now I don't really have the time, with the events going on in my life to do any scripting.
Give me a bit a week or two and let me see where I stand. I love scripting but, RL has priority.
I didn't mean to imply (or for you to infer) that there were bugs; just that if any were found they wouldn't be fixed, or at least the developer would not be the one fixing it.
Good to hear that you may be back if things work out OK. All the best.
Had me a bit worried. I know there's a couple things that need addressed. There are also some underlying bugs that will need squashed. But for the most part I took the non-feedback as being positive.
Sorry if I sounded out of sorts, Kind of posting half way right now. Thanks for the heads up.
I know you are back in the X3 scripting business now. Any chance you can relink this script? I have been using Naffarins Station Trader v1.26 for a LONG time and even added a few new commands to it (my station restock command that will have my station traders go look for a station selling the product at the minimum price if they can't find something to buy or sell and the stations product inventory is less then 50% REALLY brings these guys to life!).
Anyway, I think I would like to try this one out. I missed it when you first released it...
