Very cool! I personally like this look of this. I admit the mandatory walking around stations thing would eventually get on my nerves.

If you can somehow create a scrollable list I think the best way to implement this mod is to have it bring up a list of docks, the player selects the dock and then selects an NPC from a new list.

Yeah, it really would work best as a list in the detail monitor, but I don't think we've figured out how to edit that yet:(

While I definitely love this mod I think it needs to be nurfed a little bit. Now I can hire an engineer repair my ship in the middle of battle.

Now some of you might go saying, then just don't do that. That's all fine and well some of you, but it's just my opinion.

That aside, I love you for doing this. <3
For me the images are showing only as links. Do they show as full images for you?

Because this forum is built for 1990 when people had 56k modems and moderators had to restrict images from displaying to not suck peoples bandwidth down.

I'm still waiting for it to become a more "normal" forum with proper image embedding.

It'd probably make sense if you still had to dock to pick up the crew you hired from space. But that's obviously a lot more complex to implement than the menu.

They can rent a jetpack and fly to me instead. Maybe they can just steal one. After all, every locker and cargo container in the universe is there for the taking! - Scarecrow Security Corp.

Jokes aside they've made so many things that should be simple to do extremely tedious and annoying instead, so we'll be seeing tonnage of mods designed to undo those mistakes.

Excellent! im not worried about bugging my save because its so full of bugs anyways! Glad someone could take the bull by the horns and eliminate the waste of time the stations required from players.

MutantDwarf · Post by **MutantDwarf** » Mon, 18. Nov 13, 02:08

What would probably work better than the current version is one that allows you to call people up on the station that you're currently docked with, while in 'walk-around-mode'. That'd make much more sense for repairing your ship and such; you'd still have to dock but wouldn't have to leave your ship and walk around.

I'm not certain how to handle that, though; I'll have to look around and see if there's a way to open a comm link to the dock that you're currently inside.

This is great, walking around the station made me nauseous! lol

Thanks for this, it cured my locker and box addiction, I just couldn't help but take EVERYTHING, guess because it's free!!! I now scan for dropped flotsam, much more lucrative.

Greetings from Germany. Gratulate, good work for the mod.

BUT, is it right, to put that mod in the Nexus Site,
WHERE ONLY PEOPLE can download, who become
MEMBER OF NEXUS and you MUST PAY FOR A MEMBERSHIP !!!!

I think that should not be done or be promoted in an Egosoft Forum, if you have to pay for X-Rebirth Mod files.

Moderators ???

works great, but it's quiet boring to press on more... every 3 people...

but since game lags as **** and you can't do sudden moves... so ye.. it works xD

Mad_Joker · Post by **Mad_Joker** » Mon, 18. Nov 13, 12:51

Hey guys, I am currently throwing around some ideas in my head to improve the usability until someone figures out how to create display panels.

Currently, I have two ideas:

1) Structure the menu to select the station first, then choose the dock, and then see only NPCs on that dock. However, this might be still confusing since you don't know what NPCs will be on that dock, so you might have to go through a lot to find the NPC you want.

2) Structure the menu so as to select the NPC type first (i.e. have entries for Pilot, Engineer etc.) and then when you select it you get only NPCs of the chosen type. This should make it much faster to get the NPC you want (though there are still 20 or so types of NPCs).

What do you think is better? I favor the second option.

Other thoughts:

- add configurable parameters for 1) being allowed to comm in combat, 2) max distance from station (can be infinite), 3) max distance for trading (if I can figure out how to disable only the trading conversation entry for traders), 4) having to dock for hiring (again only if I can figure out how to disable the hiring option)

Any more ideas/inputs on what I should do?

Sadly, I don't know what could be causing this. Does anybody else have similar issues?

enenra · Post by **enenra** » Mon, 18. Nov 13, 12:57

Can you maybe implement it differently into the UI? As in: You have to target a station (part) and then you get the option to comm it and then get a list of people you can interact with? Thus you still need to be near it but don't need to dock.

IMO most other options are a bit too easy for the player. Then again, that's what many seem to want so yeah.
