I know, but sometimes, you just wanna assign that freighter fleet to your station, or wanna assign a bunch of fighters to that M7 who's destiny is only to patrol some random sectors quicklyDJ Aitch wrote:This can be done at the moment in one go as long as all the ships you want to assign are part of a wing.
Thanks, hope it will helpDJ Aitch wrote:However I can see your script being more useful so thanks, going to give it a go tonight.

nobody else finding this script useful ?
thinking about automatic renaming sequence, maybe
"[base] - [ship class] [ship type] [ship ID]"
ie
"my fav M1 - M3 mamba NV-93"
"my fav M1 - M3 mamba YU-45"
"my fav M1 - M4 asp HU-54"
"my fav M1 - M4 asp HU-55"
or "[base] - [ship class] [ship type] [number]"
ie
"my fav M1 - M3 mamba 1"
"my fav M1 - M3 mamba 2"
"my fav M1 - M4 asp 1"
"my fav M1 - M4 asp 2"
for traders assigned to some factory, i got the idea of something like that :
"base - [ware traded] [selling or buying] [ship ID or number]"
ie "my complex - PAC sell YV-43"
or "my complex - CAG YV-43" for those who have Lucike's CAG
but i've got a problem here : can't find how to get what ware a trader is actually ... trading :/
to get the job he's doing i see how to do so (finding what command he's running) but for the ware.. still no clue.
I might use some input here.
Any comments / ideas appreciated
PS : yes i already know about Ship Names Manager script, but, i don't like how it actually manages to rename ships, also dislikes the fact that renamed ships kinda bug (if it gets destroyed, you'll get a blank message in your log)
EDIT : idea "en pause", might not go that path, there's a lot of auto renaming scripts yet

A very simple and therefor imo brilliant solution .
I saw that cycrow mentioned in one of his posts something about having his scripts signed. I think that means that you can install them, without getting a modified tag to your game. If the script is simple, and does not destroy game balance, it can be signed afaik. This script seems to me like a perfect candidate for that.

Would be a useful addition.
I havent tried it so can't know for sure but I'm assuming from the details it will only work with your property.
Any chance it can be applied to NPC stations or is this a "no no" in the use of the home settings useage?
And also as a sidepoint, if possible, to have an extra command of "Jump and fly to home" like the return home command? I realise that autojump probably caters for this but just thinking it would be nice for options.

@lastebil
i'll see about that, but i think the script lack of some other thing
@pelador
yes, it's just working for your own properties, still, don't really see the point about setting home on an other factory than yours (maybe helping terran factories a bit to get some weapons ?)
i'm not sure if it can be done : afaik you can set home on whatever thing you want by scripting, but i don't remember seeing command menu on NPC stations
as for "jump to home" command, i'll see about that, but i can't promise anything yet, i'm really a noob about scripting (it's my first release !)
but i can somewhat manage to improve the existing command by adding a basic "return home" to all possessions => ships with auto jump will jump i think
greetings

I absolutely love the Idea of this mod, however it wont work for me, I extracted all the right files to the right locations and I see the command in additional ship commands but when I enter it nothing happens at all Would have been a really handy thing to have, seeing as my fleet has grown to more then 300 and Id like some place to put em all

@fallencomrade182
could you tell me exatly what "pack" did you get, when does it happen, on what (station / ship ?), if ships are actually docked to the thing you execute the command, and what language are you playing in ?
edit : "return home" command done, will post it in a brand new post as no everyone might want the two of them.

if you mean other than rapidshare / megaupload / "put free file hosting with ip and dl checks", i fear i can't : don't have access to a web server to host files.
maybe there's some that aren't that restrictive, but i doesn't know about file hosting that much, so if you got a host to suggest, i'd appreciate it.
greetings,
Seedz
edit :
digged a little around and found filefront "again", forgot about that host, sorry

Very much but for my part, I'm playing vanilla ATM. Will you submit a signing request?seedee wrote:nobody else finding this script useful ?
Think so, too. This is somewhat unrelated to the original problem.seedee wrote:thinking about automatic renaming sequence

Hey Seedee, nice work with the homebase script... but this "auto-rename" thing would be a pearl! It's a great idea! Do you plan to develop it?seedee wrote:nobody else finding this script useful ?

A workaround is to:Retiredman wrote:It made M7 and larger class ships easy to have a homebase.
- assign your capital ship to a wing
- set a home base for the wing
- Optional: remove the capital ship from the wing

You think a hero is some weird sandwitch and not a guy attacking a Xeno J with a kestrel.
Sir.. I said .. A guy attacking a J with a kestrel is the sandwitch.
