[SCRIPT] Salvage Network 2.8 [08.11.08]

Khaak_Slayer · Post by **Khaak_Slayer** » Sun, 11. Feb 07, 16:42

The terminate script doesn't appear to have worked, i ran it and waited a bit and my satellite count jumped from 146 to 148, so i manually killed the global script task, let's hope that works ;d

not really all that bad now anyway, i have four universal traders and just under four million credits stashed away

also, will i have to kill/terminate it every time i load a game? or will that stop it indefinitely - and then, if i want it to be re-enabled, would i have to locate another BBS?

Thankyou so much for the update and your support and advice on this! i really appreciate it.

Did you re-init the script after you installed 2.6?

The 'Terminate' command should stop any more orders being sent out to deploy more satellites, but the current order to deploy will still be carried out, so you may see a few more appear before they all receive the command to stop.

Once killed, the process should stop for good (unless you load in a save from before you killed it). You'll have to accept the BBS advert again to begin re-deployment.

No worries, let me know if you have any problems.

(I'll have to check, but starting the Network again may 'double-up' the satellites).

Hmm, well I've not had any more satellites deploy, yay! and yes I did re-init.

Buut, now I can't seem to be able to access the Salvage Net at all, I no longer have the option under the special menu, it's the only one I'm missing as well.

I even ran setup.TECSG.salvage too, and saved and re-loaded, still nothing.

I'll keep trying things to see if I can get it back up. Maybe restarting the whole game will help.

Edit: Just to let you know, the Detect Crate function in the additional menu is working perfectly, just located a crate of 75000 credits in Ore Belt, commanded my ship to fly to the exact coordinates, and it flew right along side it, most perfect!

Also, I'm assuming ERR:03 is just natural behavior too?

Hi Khaak_Slayer,

The only requirement for accessing the network is that your ship has the Special Command Software MK1 installed.

Can you check you have that, and that the scripts (specifically A1.ScanforEmptyShips') haven't been deleted from the 'scripts' folder.

Khaak_Slayer · Post by **Khaak_Slayer** » Sun, 11. Feb 07, 20:03

That's odd, there actually is no 'A1.ScanforEmptyShips' file in there

-and now i come to think about it, when i went to install this latest version into Cycrow, it said that i was installing a version that was older than the one already installed, and that I'd have to remove the old version first. is it possible you left something out?

For now though I could probably just steal A1.ScanforEmptyShips from the last version file right?

EDIT: scratch my last post, I didn't realise it was a default file, also i forgot it could just be copied over from the backup folder.

Awesome, it's all fully operational again. I have no idea how that file could have been erased, but I'm sure there was probably a logical explanation.

Thanks for all the help my man!

I have reinitted scripts and done everything else, as well as read a few pages from the forum but for the life of me I cant get your detect crates and salvage network commands to show up!!

Do they only come up when I have a satellite up? Do I have to find the BBS first? I have special command software, and your salvage claim software...

I wanna have a little help with finding all these new ships, lol.

Got a similar problem

I got the find crates thing but no salvage network

hazeyindahead · Post by **hazeyindahead** » Fri, 16. Feb 07, 00:35

The only commands I get are the move to commands, and claiming a ship...

I have reinited the scripts, Ive manually run the setup script, and I check teh BBSs whenever I dock somewhere, and still no salvage network... this sucks

defiant1 · Post by **defiant1** » Fri, 16. Feb 07, 01:07

it doesnt suck...its just a unexpected "feature"...it may be fixed later by the creater...

:P

platinawolf · Post by **platinawolf** » Fri, 16. Feb 07, 22:34

Could someone post the contents of the script or the script file? I get the option to deploy the net when I have lots of money

But it would be nice to be able to use the network as something other than a Best Buy/Sell locator. Oh well,,, The network is nice for finding illusive upgrades like the tractor beam and things like that

defiant1 · Post by **defiant1** » Sat, 17. Feb 07, 05:43

its supposed to help u find salvageable ships...am i wrong on that???? [or did i just misread it?]

Khaak_Slayer · Post by **Khaak_Slayer** » Sat, 17. Feb 07, 21:30

Read my posts on the last page, it appears you're all suffering from the problem I had, and fixed, with advice from the creator.

hazeyindahead · Post by **hazeyindahead** » Sun, 18. Feb 07, 06:01

Ok so a1.scanforemptyships is no where on my hd, and I can only find v2.6...

Is this an accident, or did the creator take out the network?

platinawolf · Post by **platinawolf** » Sun, 18. Feb 07, 16:04

The a1 files are obiusly the creators own way of creating stuff

The official all start with a ! if I remember correctly

It should be included in the package never the less as its rather obius that its the prime function of the script package

Anyways, could you please post the file missing?

hazeyindahead · Post by **hazeyindahead** » Thu, 22. Feb 07, 11:54

Still no resolution...

Was there any way to increase the attempt to spawn rate? Like opening up the script or soooomething? I unno Im new to this

Hi,
I'm also having a problem. Of course, I have all the software installed and what not.

I have the confirmation that the script is running from the message from TECSG but the ONLY command that I see is the Fly to centre and Fly to coordinates commands under navigation.

I have 10+ Advanced Sat in place, but under the Special or Additional commands, I don't have any of your commands in place. I have also reloaded the game and still nothing.

The only commands that I see are the Detect Crates and Claim ship commands. I don't see the Salvage Network from the Special command menu anywhere.

I used this script with X3 v1.4 and it worked well. However, after updating to v2 I have the same problem. No command: scanforemptyships

I guess it is not compatible with X3 v2

Take care

Unfortunately the file A1.ScanforEmptyShips.xml is not in the SPK and it seems we have no way to get it.

As TECSG seems to be taking a holiday does anybody have a copy of the file?

TECSG · Post by **TECSG** » Mon, 5. Mar 07, 10:22

My apologies for the missing file, it has been added and the link on page 1 should now download the complete script files.

For some reason the forum has stopped alerting me when new posts arrive for this thread, so I was unaware that there was a problem.

If you sitll have a problem after installing this, PM me and I'll get right on it.
