Hi,

You appear to be correct, thet server is reporting the file is not there, but I've just checked, and it is!

If you PM me and let me know your e-mail address, I'll e-mail you the file directly.

EDIT: The server (www.driveHQ.com) is down for maintenance for about 1 hour (apparently). The file should be available for download after the server is back online.

UPDATE: Server is back, file is now downloadable again!

Hello there small question on the script. I'm currently running Cycrow's Salvage Claim Software script and was wondering if that will conflict with this. I would really like to snag this script of yours but I don't need my game futzing up again as I finally got it working right.

@digdug83,

The two scripts *shouldn't* conflict, but it's not possible to guarantee that!

I'm not sure how/what Cycrow's script does, but the chances of anything major going wrong running both are small. if you backup your saves, your should be okay.

If there is a problem, you can always uninstall one of the scripts.

Hi TECSG!

What I did was the following.
I got a BBS mission which offered me for 40000 + 7000 the automatic positioning of satellites.

When I accepted it I ran out of money afer 2 sats and got the message that no more sats will get deployed.
The deployment stoped but whenever I entered sector again with one of those sats I got a new one placed very close to the other (10m) . And yes it was every time I reentered. After 2 enters I had 3 sats.

Unfortunately I am not able to tell you exakt coords since I deleted the save game on accident.

I did also not find the command to force a stop of autodeployment. Would be great if anyone could provide me with a hint.

Thanks in advance and keep your great work

Hi Trokhon,

Okay, thanks for the info, I'll check in to the deployment routine.

The Terminate routine for the Satellite deployment is used to clean up any Global variables prior to uninstalling the Salvage Network script, it's not meant to be run 'as is'.

If you do accidentally (or deliberately) run it, the script may not function properly until a load occurs (at which point the Setup script would be automatically run again).

OK thanks for info :)

Just a quick one, where do I find the command to stop Auto Replacement of destroyed satellites?

Hi Trokhon,

Sorry, there isn't one!

The network was designed to be totally self-sustaining. I did describe somewhere in this thread how to 'abort' the deployment, but I can't remember off-hand the exact steps, so you'll have to look through all comments!

EDIT: There is now (as of V2.8) a manual termination command!

Hi Trokhon,

Hope this fixes the bug, but let me know if it doesn't. I can't be 100% sure as I couldn't replicate it on my system.

Hi defiant1,

I've already got on to the host, seems they've screwed up my account and not bothered to tell me!

I'm looking in to an alternate host, will post links a.s.a.p.

If anyone is 'desperate', PM me and I'll email it to you.

I had an older version of this and when I downloaded the updated version and tried to install it the plugin manager said it was unable to open/install it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Edit: I searched for a new update for the Plugin Manager and that fixed all of my problems.

Thanks anyways :)

Hi lordsoulstrike,

Two possibilities come to mind, the file you downloaded may have corrupted, or Cycrow's Installer (which has recently had an update) may not be entirely backwards-compatible.

Try downloading the file again, and if it still doesn't work, make sure you have the latest version of Cycrow's installer (I have V2.12). If that also doesn't work, let me know and I'll send you a .ZIP file you can just extract into your X3 folder.

Thanks for the offer. I did install the newest version and everything is fine now. Although I am running XTM .73 it will not totally work when I try and access the salvage network ingame. I guess I will have to wait until there is an update.

Thanks again :)

Hi lordsoulstrike,

The script should work with XTM.73 (although I've only tried it with .72), what problem are you having with it?

I tried to access the salvage network and nothing happens. It brings me back to the command console. :?

Hi lordsoulstrike,

Sorry for the delay in responding, phone lines have been down for two weeks! (so no Internet either) :cry:

Check your player log file, it should write info in there. If not, have you set up any satellites?
