[MOD] Salvage Mod V2.2 (March 29)

[kapitul8r]

thanks, will give it a go!

Its pretty much working now, i think Only prob is that without the ccm, i cant find anything to salvage. Ive heard there is a script or command or sumthin to locate derelicts in the game. Ive trawled thru the forums with no luck, does anyone happen to know how to do this?

You can use this one with this script also, if your like me and does not have the Chatter thingy thing installed.

thanks! giving it a go now

ok getting there slowly! both salvage mod and network working great, locating ships etc, only prob now is "capturing" the derelicts. I have the salvage license, 18drones, plus the mk1 salvage thingy. Have found a half dead mercury, selected "claim derelict" and the derelict proceeds to turn red. This happens from any distance up to 10metres. All i can think is that i dont have enough drones??? Its easily turned back again with a bit of attention from the lasers, but even so the next time the same happens. Ive tried to salvage a nova too and the same thing happens?!

!bump! due to desperateness for answer

[AalaarDB]

That's due to the other salvage script.

My guess is you are targeting one of my ships and using his salvage command.

Either way, I'm not going to do anything about this as you really should be using this with the CCM.

[AalaarDB]

Although the update for 1.4 is small, bump anyways.

I have done clean install of X3 and reinstalled all the scripts i use.
But now i can not salvage anything because the salvage commands are not under the special commands any more. Everthing else is right, got all the right equipment.
Also in the equipment docks selling the drones i have credits for sale? price 28Cr when i switch of the salvage mod the credits vanish as well.
I have also got installed,
BBs Plugins by LV
All Scripts pack by Cycrow
Tycpack by Tychouse
Plus your Comm chatter Framework and Essort CCM.

[AalaarDB]

Do you have the Extended mod pack installed?

[barrymid]

No but will try if you think that will help.

[AalaarDB]

It does say required on the front page.

[barrymid]

Sorry just download update did not read anything else

[AalaarDB]

Don't feel bad, there's one of these occurances everyday. I just need to say something so people reading don't think this is super buggy etc.

Hi I am a bit unclear on something... do I put the 06 file in the mod directory or in the main directory?

The main directory.

If you already have files called 06.cat and 06.dat present in the main directory do *NOT* overwrite them. Simply locate the highest numbered .cat and .dat pair, and then rename your Salvage-mod .cat and .dat to that number+1 (so if your highest numbered pair is 06.cat and 06.dat, rename the new files to 07.cat and 07.dat ... and so forth).

cheers

just out of interest: How many global scripts should there be running by the salvage mod at a time? I counted 30+ and I do notice a slowdown and slight judder (especially on s.e.t.a.) that wasn´t there before using this mod.

[AalaarDB]

There should be 20 (WaitSendComms + Rumors)
There should be 10 Competitors, CompSearch, and Transporters
There should be 0 Inits.

The cpu requirements for this plugin are negligible.
Upgrade to 1.4, turn off the plugin, wait a few minutes, turn it back on.

Salvage mod working nicely now Was wondering if all classes/races of derelicts are spawned by the mod. Ive had TS/P M5,4,3 but no capital ships to date. I presume this is because they are scripted to be rare?

[AalaarDB]

There are only a few ships that aren't spawned (cap Aliens for one).
Capital ships are rare.
