Xai Corporation AutoMining 2.3

Does this script ONLY work for OOS, or when you are not actively inside the ship

I installed this really only because I wanted a better salvage script, Ego's attempt at having your ship collect wares is pathetic, it flies 8km out before returning to get a new ware, and it takes an hour to collect 20 fragments of ore.

An older version of the automining that I used awhile back had an excellent collection script, so I figured this one would be the same, and that's really all I need out of it (I kinda enjoy prospecting and mining by myself)

However, after installing the script and the advanced navigation libraries (and I get a message saying that the automining script is installed), the only extra option I have is the Mineral Scanner. I have no Mining or Collection options

I do have a mining laser and an ore collector onboard my ship? Moggy, any idea what may be wrong?

Thanks

Okay - newbie to this script.
First of the unsigned that I wanted to play with.
I have my Demeter. Ore collector and mobile mining laser installed.
Got the ship to move to a nice silicon roid; yield 12.
Ship - command - automine
Next I am being asked for a number? What does this do?
I entered something low - like 3 and the ship sent me a message about no roids in range and went away and docked.
Moved it back to the roid.
I entered a higher number - like 8 - the ship moved around the roid then span like a top not doing anything.

Help would be appreciated.

EDIT - Okay I am still not sure what the number does; its either a range thing or ignore roids under this yeild.
Do not use SETA when the ship is positioning itself.

It even tells you what it wants at the bottom. Something like "Ignore asteriods with yields higher than?", so basically if you put in 24 it will automine all asteroids that have a yield of 24 or less.

HTH

I need some help with this script. It just WILL NOT run consistently.

I am currently slaving away in Rhonkar's Clouds. I have my miner (for whom, for some reason, only the "scan mineral" command will work, and not the auto mine or auto collect command. Same thing happened to me in my last game...) and one collector, a Boron Dolphin. I also have a TL parked nearby.

I blow up a roid, and order the Dolphin to go autocollect, I select Rhonkar's Clouds, and select my TL. It shows the command in its command line, but it just sits there, doing nothing.

The roid fragments are like 500 meters away, and it just SITS THERE...

Ok, so I use Ego's r******* collection script to clear these roids. It takes approximately seven weeks, and both ships fly approximately 889billion miles to collect 14 roid fragments, but there you go. (can you tell I REALLY want something besides Ego's collection "script"?)

I blow up another roid, order the dolphin to autocollect, select sector, select TL, and hey, lo and behold, it's moving! And collecting roids! Joy of all joys!

I fly towards another roid, and blow it up, and just as I'm done blowing it up, I watch the dolphin clear the last of the previous fragments, and it turns, and seems to come my way. I move to another roid to blow it up. When I check with the dolphin, it's sitting on its ass again. Command line still shows Autocollect [SHIP]. It may be doing something, but it's not auto collecting.

Turn the command off, turn it back on. Nothing.
It's sitting almost INSIDE the roid fragments, and I'll be damned if it'll move.

In my previous game, I had the exact same issues. I had three miners, and sometimes they would keep going for a whole sector, and then they would just shut down and not do crap. And then you'd try to reorder them to do it, no go.

Why is it not working? What is it doing that it's just sitting there, with the roids right IN FRONT OF ITS NOSE???

Can someone shed some light on this?
I've gone back and dug up the old automing v2.2 script by Merle, which worked like a charm back in its days (it NEVER stopped working), but it's for version 1.2, unfortunately, and I have no idea what all it would break with 1.4 and all the signed scripts..

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had EXACTLY the same problem yesterday in Ore Belt. And even more:

if I order a TS to collect while there are no ore chunks around they will follow me, no problem. But they will continue following even after I blow up the roid. If I re-enter the command everything works fine ..... untill they finish off collecting (unless I manage to blow up another roid before it happens), then they will start following me again and we are back right where we started.

I remember some older version of this script worked fine, it seems as soon as I started using one with nav libraries everything went apart.

I love this script but I am having the problem with wrong ore type OOS. I saw that someone came up with a fix, but not knowing anything about writing or modifying scripts, I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?

This requires either the Xai Corporation Basic Navigation Libraries or Advanced Navigation Libraries, available for download separately.
I seem to have trouble getting to any website ending with .tk something Ive never come acoss before I started looking round the X2 forums.

I found advance nav libraries @ www.xscripting.com

I have installed everything I get hailed saying 2.3 installed but cannot find automining as an option to buy at EQ docks I have at least 3 ships with mobile drill , ore collector and mineral scanner aswell!

kevenh · Post by **kevenh** » Fri, 11. Mar 05, 18:08

I've only just downloaded the parts, but the way I've read the info, the automining commands should be available to you.

Have you tried looking in 'additional commands'?
Is this your 1st script? (it is mine!)

TSM · Post by **TSM** » Fri, 11. Mar 05, 19:04

No I use one of many, most of them are Xai-corp

nothing in Special commands or additional commands so god knows I have never had any problems with an Xai script before.

I have tried it OOS and there are still no new commands I tried it on a TL,TS.

Even tried and old cheat script for adding new wares to a ship there is no mention of an Automining there!

**Edit**

Found out what it was a clash with this script http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewtop ... sc&start=0 unfortunately

if you go into special commands and click you get the respones you would get from automing I am sure one of you very bright scripters could fixit in a jiffy

not sure how to go about curing it as I want both scripts

fixed the Oos wrong ore type bug

Download 2.4

Icecola · Post by **Icecola** » Sun, 1. May 05, 22:44

Erhmm, moggy, is your site still working, seems to be virtually impossible to get the files, allthough you www.xai-corp.tk start site opens all ok?

Or if anyone knows another source for latest 2.4 automining script, I would be all happy, been seacrhing fan site but with no luck considering latest version.

BDStyle · Post by **BDStyle** » Tue, 24. May 05, 15:15

Same problem here.. could anybody get me this script at all?

moggy2 · Post by **moggy2** » Tue, 24. May 05, 20:12

The main site's offline so any direct links to files there or at xscripting wont work.

www.xai-corp.tk should automatically direct you to Research station Beta where most Xai Corp scripts are available for download.

xeon_1 · Post by **xeon_1** » Tue, 24. May 05, 20:20

nope the beta site is also down can't get on it

I'm glad Xai corp is still working on their stuff:-) I hope the automining 2.4 works out well I've been wanting to use it to have a remote mobile mining operation going and being able to transport ore from the auto miner ship back to a mining base where I can offload it to and have ships going out from the mining base to sell the ore and silicon etc. Would make a great profit generator and would solve the ore and silicon shortage in the x universe as well:-)

The link at the start of this thread to 1.4 requests a password. The version on the redirected Xaicorp site appears to be 1.3. Where can one find the latest versions of your scripts?

Thanks
