FDN then moves those winngs out to the docks for sale.
I could add a check that moves excess to the closest Node automatically, that’s not a biggie. Not a feature I’d use but happy to add in a basic form.

Yes, if I set a cap on an item at the PHQ, I want everything added above that to go to the node. Then I set a level at the dock and the dock should suck wares from the node to fill in that set level.

Also, if it is moved to the nearest node, and the node is set to share wares. All the other nodes will have access to that wares as well, so docks all the way across the universe should have access to any wares I unload at the PHQ

No, depends if the Dock(s) are within range of the Node, there will be no daisy chaining Nodes together.

Example
Node A linked to Node B. Node C which is within range of Node B but not Node A.

Node A & Node C will not have access to each others wares, both will have access to B.
If Node A can't get the wares from B that's the end of the line, B won't in turn check C for the wares A needs.

If that's what you are talking about, “All the other nodes will have access to that wares as well, so docks all the way across the universe should have access to any wares I unload at the PHQ” then no.

Docks will take whatever the available amount is of a ware if its less then it requires, then cycle to the next Node in range.

But I can pin wheel the nodes. Node A can be in the center and then have a few B,C,D,E nodes all within 8 sectors which would pull wares from A

Yes correct

Can this be done prior to upgrading to 2.1 or does it have to wait until after I patch up to 2.1?

It's the mod files which are version dependant, this should work fine just as a script update. However all the links are current v2.1 updated files. I will have an old pre v2.1 about if needed.

so wait until i update to 2.1 then

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Wed, 17. Jun 09, 19:24

I have pre 2.1 around as well if needed.

LA: Are there any other files that need to be modified besides the subtype and node.install to add a new station because I modified those and it still isn't showing.

Those are the four files I have modified. I am guessing I am just missing something fairly simple.

Sorry for the late reply, beer out for a few beers

The error is on line 0113 on the "plugin.FDN.SubType" script:

Code: Select all

EQ:
$nodeEQ = sprintf: fmt='%s', $nodeL, null, null, null, null
$sub = get number of subtypes of maintype 5
while $sub 
  dec $sub =
  $node = get ware from maintype 5 and subtype $sub
  $node = sprintf: fmt='%s', $node, null, null, null, null
  if $nodeEQ == $node 
    $subType = $sub 
    goto label Return
  end
end

Which should read:

Code: Select all

EQ:
$nodeEQ = sprintf: fmt='%s', $nodeEQ, null, null, null, null
$sub = get number of subtypes of maintype 5
while $sub 
  dec $sub =
  $node = get ware from maintype 5 and subtype $sub
  $node = sprintf: fmt='%s', $node, null, null, null, null
  if $nodeEQ == $node 
    $subType = $sub 
    goto label Return
  end
end

Hope that sorts it?

I thought it was something simple >_< Will go try it. BTW have another beer on me

It is in! Label is Readtext though so will have to sort that out. Need to redo the price changes as well =/

v4 is now ready for download

See updated OP

Please let me know how you get on.

How much has changed so far? Just the way the scripts/menus work or did you change how many nodes etc? the OP doesn't list too many of the changes.

I just started a new game with the the modified 3.2.06 (as in playing for maybe 10 minutes

) so an upgrade should be easy.

Uploading full ver now, will upload script when rapidshare lets me dl. Will update this to reflect when they are done.

This is purely a script change, however its not a straight upgrade from v3.2.06 to v4.

New models will come at a later date once I know the script side of v4 is nailed.

Ok so then theoretically I can just put in the new SPK (and put in the old suptype and node.install) and still use my modified version for now?

I still haven't had any luck getting 3ds to open station files properly either

If you don't follow the update steps your game could crash

In that case your fine

, it's only if updating with FDN up & running.

Edit: I really like this version but please do your best to break it! and let me know what you think.

Ok then (kinda glad you didn't change subtype/node.install....yet

)

I hope to start putting up complexes semi soon. However tomorrow I head out of town untill Monday afternoon so I won't have much time to play
