can you sell a station?

Moved to X2 Scripts and Modding. Please read the sticky threads in this forum. They explain very clearly how to enable the SE.

No, it should not. Once again you have failed to notice that the original poster is talking about X2 not X3.

if I go to X²: The Threat - Scripts and Modding

and click the sticky

Scripting/Modding Tutorials and Resources [updated 20/9/05]

and the in the thread click

For those who simply want to learn how to use / install scripts and mods they download, and have no desire to create them.

the go to the part where it tells you that you MUST have the script editor installed and lists THIS link on how :

http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17965

it tells you If you are certain that you want to use this unsupported feature type Thereshallbewings (note the capital T

which is what YOU just said doesent work..

so apprently no. its IS NOT very clear, the way people are telling me.. which is what the sticky says.. does not work, and you say that does not work, but that is the only way to do it listed on this site..

so if that isnt the way (which it isnt for X2 apparently).. what is?

No, the sticky thread is right. The confusion is caused by the fact that the method for enabling the SE is different in X2 and X3. In X2 you type the text while flying in space (as it says in the sticky thread), not by changing your pilot name.

Ok, i went to space, typed Thereshallbewings, drew a pentragram on the ground, added some chicken blood and candles chanted a bit.... and now it works..

NOW! the question is.. where is a script for selling that stations.. FOR x2

i browsed the listed scripts in the sticky and nothing jumped out at me.

Xai Corporatation Factory Management System

Among other things (some of which don't work properly) there's a self destruct button and a sell station command

Advanced Nav Libraries. The zip's there

If you just want to sell the station, you could probably get away without them.

ok, maybe im doing it wrong,

I go to scripts, scroll down to sell station, and hit R, it askes me to specify station.. and I do.. then it says no arguments, and then.. nothing, OR the station gets renamed to "READ3399212 etc etc" and then nothing happens..

you don't run the script manually, you need to run the script from the station command console.

You'll need to set up the FMS first, by running the install FMS command. That requires one unit of computer parts to complete the process. after that the commands should be there to sell the station.

eternallyconfused · Post by **eternallyconfused** » Wed, 24. May 06, 00:56

is it called "INSTALL FMS" because i dont see any such command in the list of scripts.

eternallyconfused · Post by **eternallyconfused** » Wed, 24. May 06, 01:01

ok ok, i see it.. its called "set command for factory managment system" im guessing?

eternallyconfused · Post by **eternallyconfused** » Wed, 24. May 06, 01:12

ok, i did the above, got my station some computer components.. and .. all it did was add "readtext2010-1130" in the command console for the station .. and thats it.

????????/

thats all this script set seems to do.. any of the commands I try.. like to set it up for a ship.. or anything.. i select the script.. run it and it says "no arguments" then i get these stupid messages that just say "redtext2234-1124-6679 etc etc" and nothing ever works.

You don't run scripts manually unless otherwise told to do so (usually in the readme's). Most scripts use a command slot of some sort, and thats how they'd be run. Running them any other way can cause problems unless you know specifically what they do, and what your doing.
