No longer works with Beta 6, the menu item to bring up the missions no longer appears. Probably due to the UI file name changes they made in beta6, see this: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=374367

I wasn't able to get it to work just by renaming, granted I have no idea what I am doing...

Edit:
After a bit further investigation, not only did i have to rename the files, but in detailmonitor.xml and mainmenu.xml I also had to change the "[@name=" part to match the name change, seems to be working again after that.

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look.

EDIT: fixed

Solution is relly easy :
change only in ext_01.cat:
-rename mainmenu\mainmenu.xml to ego_mainmenu\ego_mainmenu.xml
-rename detailmonitor\detailmonitor.xml to ego_detailmonitor\ego_detailmonitor.xml

then edit the ego_*.xml data and change your add sel Syntax to:

ego_mainmenu

<add sel="/addon[@name='ego_mainmenu']/dependency" pos="before">
<file name="..//mainmenu//mainmenu_cf_missioncomputer.lua" />
</add>

ego_detailmonitor

<add sel="/addon[@name='ego_detailmonitor']/dependency" pos="before">
<file name="..//detailmonitor//cf_menu_missioncomputer.lua" />
</add>

Tested and full active

Perhaps the edit was too little information:
I already fixed it and uploaded the new version yesterday.
Thanks for the input though.

thank you

Are you playing the beta? I just noticed that the MCSRT also needs an update because egosoft recently renamed some files. That will be on its way in a few minutes.

Other than that please make sure that you followed this uninstallation procedure:
(In a game with only the mission computer installed):
1. Activate the MCSRT, load your game
2. Save the game
3. Remove both mods
4. Load the save from step 2
5. save AGAIN
Your save is now clean and does not contain any mission computer related content.

PERFECT

i just delete MCSRT folder and steam update them , now all works fine LOL

Thank you very Much

Hi ,
I'm unable to let it work:
-I installed, bought and used the MC with XR 2.51
-I'm unable to see it after 3.0 update (final, not beta)
-downloaded MCRT, activated it, saved game
-de-activated both extensions in game
-removed both extensions
-loaded savegame and re-saved
-re-subscribed MC

I still cannot see the MC: should I re-buy?

The only other mod I have is capital ship bridge

thanks in advance

Ettore

EDIT: needed to re-buy... nayway now it works (and worth even the 4.5kcr more!!!!)

cyberfuzzie · Post by **cyberfuzzie** » Sun, 14. Dec 14, 14:03

Glad you were able to resolve it!

After uninstalling it is of course necessary to re-buy the MC, as it got completely remove from the game (and therefore also from your ship).

What worries me a bit is that it didn't work after the update to 3.0.
Has anyone else had problems with 3.0 final? I know there were some problems during the beta phase because egosoft added new software and deleted all modded software in the process, but that should have been taken care of - unless there was another change in the RC or final update.

Awesome mod, using it a lot! Any chance of getting mod as an archive? I like using Nexus mod manager for all my games

I had some troubles in V3.0 with the Mission Computer so I had to uninstall it. It started to show me missions from the current and last sector I visited.

To be exact .. I was in Commerce Core/Voracious Lady and it showed missions from that sector and from Commerce Core/Last Stand.

I think there is a delay in how often the computer updates missions, so if you travel quickly between zones, it may still show missions from the previous zone. However, if you wait a minute or 2, those missions from the previous zone will disappear and only the missions from the current zone will show.

cyberfuzzie · Post by **cyberfuzzie** » Wed, 17. Dec 14, 20:18

I also noticed this, and you can even accept the missions that are left over, so it might be that something in the generic mission library is responsible for the delay.

If I get the time to overhaul the mission computer UI I might add a field for the zone in which the mission is offered. Other than that if you don't want to accept missions that are not in your current zone check out the mission details first, it might tell you where the mission takes place.

Hi cyberfuzzie
i think Beta 3.20 RC2 has stopped this most needed mod from working
the mission computer has vanished from the SideBar menu & when i turn on the old legacy menue's the mission compter is there but causes a UI lockup

Hope its not a hard job to fix

Again thanks for this Most needed mod

I posted this on the steam forum as well

EDIT:-

Noticed this post http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=376877 By wysiwyg

wysiwyg wrote:It seems that 3.20RC2 has changed the name of the .xml file that describes the files to be added to the menu bar and detailmonitor etc. As a result most mods featuring UI code will break. It's a simple fix - just make a copy of the .xml file in the ego_xxxx folder and rename it to ui.xml.
e.g.
Code: Select all
old file -  addons\ego_mainmenu\ego_mainmenu.xml

add file - addons\ego_mainmenu\ui.xml
Cheers

could this be the problem ?

cyberfuzzie · Post by **cyberfuzzie** » Mon, 26. Jan 15, 21:14

Thanks for reporting, that's very likely the cause, 3.0 already had a file rename which broke some mods, including this.

Custom ui for this and my YAT mod currently broken after affecting the file rename to make the menu addition work

[MOD] Mission Computer

Should the mission computer be a buyable software upgrade?
