Problems with Station Accountant 3.5...

[o1derfull1]

How do I access it? I thought it would come up in the 'adjust station parameters' option, but no dice. Where exactly is it?

Also, does it always keep exactly that amount in your factories, or is it a one time thing that adjusts the credits and then your factories start accruing them again?

Thanks.

if you installed it via the .exe then you have a new menu via the custom menu, incase you missed the README see below:

Station Accountant 3.5 - does not loop

This is a updated version of Station Account 1.0

Station Accountant 3.5 does not loop instead it has a new menu
command, Transfer Money under custom. it also has the fixed
calculated values. You must have trading system extension install , and must not be docked to use it or button will be grayed out.

HOW TO USE IT...

When you click on the Transfer Money button an input number screen will come up. This is where you will put the amount of money you want in all your factories. exsample.. if you want 100,000 in all your factories type it here and the rest of the money will go to the player account. Remmeber you most have money to transfer in the player account or factories to do so. You don'nt get something for free.

THE FOLLOWING FOUR FILES ARE INSTALLED;

init.station.account.xml
StationAccountant.xml
445101.xml
StationAccountant Readme.txt

Problem is that it has a "nice" bug in that

if you enter an amount more than what you have (i.e. you have 10 factories, with a 1MM total, but you enter 700,000 as the amount, you will end up having more money than you have initially.

In my case, I intended to enter 70,000 as the amount the game should keep for each factory, but entered 700,000 instead. The result was that I had 19MM in the bank (should be only around 9MM). The difference was not much (in my case, as I have lots of factories and ship), but I had no way to put back the correct amount to recover the initial amount of credits I had.

Wonder if the author is aware of this bug.

yes he was aware of it and addressed it in the revised 3.5 version that is now available

ok - i know this is probably a really stupid question but i'm new to pc gaming and getting more than a little lost on this. ,have installed trader mk III no probs. heard how good this manager 3.5 script was and downloaded and installed this ( i think i installed ok!) however cannot find this mystical custom menu you talk of? PLEASE help a scripting virgin!

[Argonaught.]

You need to go into the command console of your ship....it'll be under Custom......also need to be in space for it not to be greyed out.

nope - still can't find it. is it poss that i haven't actually installed it? - have been through installation and the wizard tells me its complete but not sure what i should have been doing in first place. sorry i'm being stupid and i would prob. be thinking 'don't mess with it if you don't know what your doing' but am keen to learn, and it can't be THAT hard. can it?

You also need to have bought the trading system extension from one of the equipment docks (Teladi, I think).

[smudga]

yep, done that too!

Had the same problem, instaled the scripts using the Ex but couldnt find the menu. Checked in the scripts and T folders and couldnt find the scripts. Tracked them down in Documents and settings and copied them into the relevant folders in X2. All working now!
