One or Two script questions...

Post by jimbob35 »

Sorry to bug you guys, im sure this has been asked a thousand times...

I have two scripts i would like to use, patrol3.0 and station accountant 3.5.

Firstly, do i need to type something while flying to enable scripts
Secondly, would backing up my script file and save game file allow me to completely return to an unmodified state?

thanks for not flaming! hehe

Some scripts will require you to activate them in the edior whilst others you somply need to purchase them in an equipment dock (once they have been copied to the relevant directories).

station accountant 3.5., is that the fixed and revised version???

You know how to activate the editor???

Whilst flying in space type (T is case sensitive, so shift+T...)

Type slowly, don't be docked. Anyway, you should hear a beep of confirmation.
then press 'S' for Ship Details, 'C' for command Console and 'S' to get into the editor.

To activate a script... you need to highlight the relevabt script once pass the welcome screen and press 'R'....

Im trying to get the get ware replacement script to work, ive put it in my scripts folder, activated script editor in game, i can see the get.ware / init.get.ware / get.ware.pl in the editor.

Now what? I can press 'r' on each entry, a few weird menus come up but what do i do on them? Nothing happens, and when i try and order a ship to buyware it does it as normal, no option to buy from my own factory for no money?!

Ive tried saving and reloading, what am i doing wrong? ive done exactly what the readme says.

if there's an init file, I don't think you need to do anything regarding activating the editor or running the scripts from it

perhaps it's clever enough to go to your stations without you telling it to? after all, that's the point of installing scripts - to reduce your workload
