[SCRIPT] Salvage Network 2.8 [08.11.08]

[TECSG]

Hi Schabernack,

My point was that my Claim script should only give you that message if the ship you are trying to claim is either not empty, or an automated ship.

It might not necessarily be one of the Guild scripts that created the ship, or even Cycrow's.

If you have the game saved before you try to claim the ship, just double-check there is no pilot and no commands on the stack.

[Schabernack]

ok, but shouldn't a ship which have just bailed( i see the droped astronout)
1. be empty
2. have no commands

mmm, the BSE 2.1 copies the original ship and sets another ship and astronout into space, ... could it be that those ships do have some undone commands from the original ship? I will
post a question at the bse thread, thanks.

[TECSG]

Hi Schabernack,

It would seem that there is something unusual about the ship if my claim software throws up that message and the ship is really empty and doing nothing.

I'm not familiar with the BSE 2.1 mod, so I can't even begin to guess how that may affect my script or ships in the X-Universe.

Please let me know if you hear anything from the other thread!

[Legionnaire]

im using BSE a well + XTM and a whole load of other scripts and i'm not having that problem, which makes me think there might be another script actually causing it.

Hi Legionnaire,

Thanks for the info.

I too think it's likely that another script or mod is doing something funny there, either creating the ship or messing about with its commands. Hopefully Schabernack will find out some answers on the other thread.

[Legionnaire]

ok this is my current set of scripts that im running all with xtm and they all seem to be playing happily with each other.

Hi,

I don't know for sure if anyone else beat me to it (I've lost track during 17 pages) but I'vew noticed 2 things:

1: Minor issue: while claiming a ship the text still reads "250m" - this should be "1km"?

2: move to coordinates doesn't work - or i'm inputting the coordinates wrong.
If I input 125 enter ; 0 enter ; 0 enter -> my ship doens't go to 125km,0km,0km

Am I doing something wrong?

The script works fine for the rest - finding/claiming ships and getting to crates.

Greetz, Zero T

[Legionnaire]

@ Zero Tolerance

1. Now you mention it i see that as well, didnt think anything of it.

2. you need to enter in meters even though the co-ords are given in km...

so it would be 125000 enter, 0 enter, 0 enter

hope that helps

Hi Zero Tolerance, Legionnaire;

The claim script originally had a 250m range, but was increased because of the HUGE size of some of the ships in XTM.

Yes, coordinates are in meters, the reason for that is that some of the freebie crates don't show up until you're less than 400m from them.

I'll update the range in the readme though, thanks for that guys.

EDIT: The readme did say 1,000m, but further down (under the update for V2.7). Still, I've changed the first statement where it said 250m) as well now.

[Pogi]

Hmmmm..I think TreasureHunt has a feature in it where some ships show up looking like they have bailed, but with their pilots still in them...This would cause a notority drop if you try and claim them..By design I believe.

I don't run RRF, but I do run TreasureHunt...But, if I remember correctly, RRF also does this too...Maybe something LV designed into them..don't know for sure though...Cheers

[Legionnaire]

@ TECSG

the range of 250m is also printed to log book if you try to claim a ship from out side 1km , so that might possibly want tweaking, just to keep everything 'correct' as it were.

Legionnaire

[TECSG]

Hi Legionnaire,


Thanks, will update that too.

[Zero Tolerance]

Hi,

This script finds all crates that are flying in the sector i'm visiting, right?

That includes the so called "Pandora's crates"?

I myself think so - I found an 10xengine tunings the first 10 minutes in the game - so my mercury now goes 150 instead of 100.

Asking just to be sure.

Zero T

[TECSG]

Hi Zero Tolerance,

The 'Detect Crates' routine will find any 'freebie' crates, wares/products (dropped from ships) or equipment/shields (from battles).

I've not heard of 'Pandora Crates', presumably they're booby-trapped. The script would detect and target them as normal... Makes like a bit more exciting though, doesn't it!

I've found several booby-trapped crates myself, so generally a good idea to save before going after something that seems 'too good to be true'...

[Legionnaire]

the Pandora crates are named after the bbs messages about the argon explorer vessel the pandora something noticing a crate in a 'random' sector far from the eliptic. apparently theres 4x 10 rudder optimizations, and 4x 10 engine tunings, these will go past the theoretical maximum tunings of anyship. and i believe they are stock egosoft not mod based


Legionnaire

[TECSG]

Hi Legionnaire,

Thanks, vaguely remember something about that, but didn't know about the crates.

If the crates exist from the start of the game, the 'Detect Crates' script should tell you if you enter the sector with one in. I would think that the crates are only generated (or at least re-generated) once you accept the mission though.

That is of course assuming that the Pandoa Crates are really crates, and not some special object.

[Legionnaire]

theyre not missions, just crates that are floating up to about 200km from sector centre and yes your script does detect them if your using the detect crates in ship advanced commands

so hows the updating going changing the enties to 1km from 250m ?


Legionnaire

[TECSG]

Hi Legionnaire,

I'm sure I've come accross some of those crates, (I've been through every sector at least once!) but I can't remember finding one!

I've updated (and uploaded) the range changes (just a simple change to the text), but there's no need to download it in a hurry, as it's still essentially the same version as you already have.

[Legionnaire]

ive youve gone to the hard work of editing the script and reuploading it of course im gonna redl it and re-install it

thanks

Legionnaire

[TECSG]

Hi Legionnaire,

Thanks. Let me know if you find any problems with it.
