Thanks Shovinus for great script.
But you have little bag in text file.
You use [/Select] (started with Capital letter) to close select message,
but it not right, you must use [/select] and all work fine.
With this you don't have restriction only for 5 select parameters.

And I do some changes in interface (only):
Now pilot don't need go to logbook, your Installer menu displayed immediately.
Some changes in groupping :

Code: Select all

[center][u][b][select value="111"]Extensions and Optimisations[/select]:[/b][/u][/center]\n
Boost Extension\n
Cargo Bay Extension\n
Engine Tuning License\n
Rudder Optimistaion License\n
[center][u][b][select value="112"]Trade[/select]:[/b][/u][/center]\n
Trade Command Software Mk1\n
Trade Command Software Mk2\n
Trade Command Software Mk3\n
Trading System Extension\n
Best Buy Locator\n
Best Selling Price Locator\n
Freight Scanner\n
Transporter Device\n
[center][u][b][select value="113"]Fight, Fly and Nav (FFN)[/select]:[/b][/u][/center]\n
Fight Command Software Mk1\n
Fight Command Software Mk2\n
Navigation Command Software MK1\n
Ecliptic Projector\n
Duplex Scanner\n
Triplex Scanner\n
Docking Computer\n
Jumpdrive\n
Singularity Engine Time Accelerator\n
Video Enhancement Goggles\n
[center][u][b][select value="114"]Mining and other[/select]:[/b][/u][/center]\n
Mineral Scanner\n
Ore Collector\n
Spacefly Collector\n
Special Command Software Mk1\n
\n
[center][select value="9"]Exit[/select][/center]\n
And I do russian translate.
All changes onle for your Installer, not autoupgrader.
Can I send my changes to you for confirmation:
Changed files:
448789.xml
plugin.sho.upgradequestion.xml
plugin.sho.upgradequestion2.xml

oh right brilliant :) cheers alot, sure you can, I can't do anything til monday, but that work is very handy, I didn't realise it was because I had used capitals, bit funny that is.

That make things so much easier, I was thinking of creating a script for player owned shipyards but when i realised I would have to group everything I thought it would not really be possible, but you have just solved that for me.

Cool, sure if you wish to do Russian translations that will be brilliant, I am not sure if it finished yet, I want to make it so if you select Upgrade Single ship it will fly to a designated station and dock and then upgrade :)
Along with a few other fixes such as changing it so that there isn't multiple auto restock file but just the one. as at the moment the multiple files are annoying.

Thanks alot for your help, I hope people will enjoy this version, It is by far the best I have created yet.

Hi, cleggs. May I ask? Are you ship (ships) are Commercial Agents from Bonus Pack?
If it true - it bug in commercial agent :-(. I.e. not bug, but normally it not ware on station, and when CA see new ware - it try trade with this.

Hi, Shovinus!
Via e-mail I was send to you new modified version of Equiomen Installer.
It has only seven script files:

Code: Select all

   17 691 plugin.sho.autorestock.xml       
    1 367 plugin.sho.deautostock.xml       
    1 515 plugin.sho.install.equipment.xml 
   23 734 plugin.sho.upgradequestion.xml   
   34 379 plugin.sho.upgradequestion2.xml  
   27 577 plugin.sho.upgrader.xml          
   51 466 setup.sho.upgrade.xml            
It's fully functional.
But I have some troubles with Commarcial Agents from Bonus Pack.
It's try sell me their Equipmen :-).
It no bug for You and not bug for CA, becouse usually it no product on any station.

Final Complete Version :)

Quick Rundown:

One screen License purchasing (no groupings, one list, see what you have and install at same time)
Key call License viewer (to see all currently held licenses)
Automatic Restocker (stocks all wares with licenses)
Fully Customisable Upgrade Groups (now you dont just have to stick with what we think is a good group, there are three groups Carrier:(M1/M2/M6/M7/TL), Fighter:(M3/M4/M5), Transport:(TP/TS) all which can be individually customised for the automatic upgrader
Five Upgrade Options now you no longer have to upgrade everything at a station, you can do just one of the groups (3 options), all, or just one ship.


I dare say there may be a few bugs to clean, but the template is now finished, with alot of help from and a few other people, this script is now in its own right beautiful :) cheers again to ChemODun for helping me clean it all up, (I say help I swear he did more in 2 days than I did in 4 weeks :P

There are many screenshots of the new layout and options available on the first page, scroll down to see them. I am sure anyone who chooses to download this script will be pleased :)

Please give me your opinions

Cheers to the following people:

ChemODun - For his massive help cleaning the script up (the multiple options are all down to him along with most the arrays he setup, reducing the file space that was being used
Cycrow - Both for scripting help and his packager program.
Gomle - Idea to merge mine and Wolf's script
LV - Help displaying what I had created

and anyone else who has helped me that I forgot to mention.

Version Updated: This really should be the last version, anything else will be because someone has found an annoying bug, which hopefully wont happen, If anyone wants the Russian Version, ChemODun is translating it for me, if anyone else can speak another language and would like to translate it for me to that language I would be very grateful.

Changes:

Only 2 command slots, neither currently listed in the signed scripts.
Main Menu Control : alot easier to navigate and use.
More information from reports
Other little fixes and clean ups

It upgrades shields automatically (once you have activated the shields option in customise upgrades for whichever groups you want shields to be installed in) currently.

I was thinking of setting it to install weapons but, you see that would require individual options for every different type of ship, and there are so many that it may be some time before I can bring out a version capable of doing that. Thats if I think it is worth it, I may have some ideas about how to get around the problem of there being so many options but, aside from how to set it up is the fact that the messages only display a certain amount of text so half the list of ships may dissappear.

I will look into it though

I must admit I put 'great' but still not tried the script, just for the great idea .. anyway I sincerly think this is something that was greatly missing in X2/X3 (sofar I know) ... I mean what is the sense of buying an equp. dock and not having its normal features?

Thats the thing with polls. Only people who like and/or use the script care enough to vote. =P
My complete script download page. . . . . . I AM THE LAW!
There is no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Lol cheers for bursting my bubble gazz :p well its had 30 downloads in one day so it can't be that bad as no-one has come back saying this is broke or this is broke yet :p, then again it is version 3.020 so it probably shouldn't have any, but as a first script from a guy with no previous experience I think it is quite good. Mostly due of course to those people that helped me.

As ClemOdun says this should not be my script, rather a different script as no-one else has this problem, also there is nothing to remove anything from anything in this script.

Try uninstalling my script, but I dont think it will do anything as it shouldn't be my script affecting it, I still am not completely clear on what is happening, could you maybe get screen shots and host them on

www.imageshack.us

then post them here, of exactly what is wrong?
