[SCRIPT] Mass-Driver Ammo Generator V1.01 : Update 22/07/2006

[tyvol]

Wonderful script!
Many Thanks Cycrow!
Cheers!

[Nothingbetter2do]

coz hardly any of my scripts had upgrades from the paranid so i thought they were being left out

perhaps you could make a paranid cloaking device...requirements should be nividium to power it so it would be only good for xl ships or better but would be great for sneaking freighters through dangerous sectors and make it possible to buy nividium at all paranid trading docks and the cloaking device upgrade could be sold in the eq dock in paranid prime

As before, I'm enjoying this script immensely!

Question: How did you arrive at the price?

Thanks again!

Cheers!

This device will generator ammo for your mass driver over time, it will generate upto a max of 5 ammo in your cargo hold.
It takes 5 minutes for each ammo to be generated.

I noticed a ship can carry multiple units, are the effects cumulative.
ex: If I equip a ship with 6 mass drivers and 6 mass driver ammo generators would I get 6 ammos every 5 minutes or still just the one.

I think I already know the answer I just wanted to make sure.

Hello again Cycrow. Back to bother you!

OK. The last time I tried this script I had a readtext error and could not figure out why. I have since installed it again and get the same problem. However since I kinda know what I'm doing now, I think I have figured out what the problem was. Although I am still in need of your help to fix it. If you have the time that is.

Anywayz I did say previously that the t file 447550 was present in the t folder. However I did not think to actually open it to have a look at the actual code. I found this

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<language id="44">
  
  <page id="2008" title="Script Command Names" descr=" ">
    <t id="1245">CMD_ACTIVATE_AUTOJUMPAWAY_V3</t>
    <t id="1248">CMD_DEACTIVATE_AUTOJUMPAWAY_V3</t>
    <t id="1247">CMD_CYCLE_AUTOFREIGHTSCAN_V2</t>
  </page>

  <page id="2010" title="Command Long Names" descr=" ">
    <t id="1245">Activate Auto Jump Away V3</t>
    <t id="1248">DEActivate Auto Jump Away V3</t>
    <t id="1247">Cycle Auto Freight Scan V2</t>
  </page>

  <page id="2011" title="Command Short Names" descr=" ">
    <t id="1245">AAJA</t>
    <t id="1248">De.AAJA</t>
    <t id="1247">CAFS</t>
  </page>

  <page id="2022" title="Infoz!" descr=" ">
    <t id="1245">This command allows a ship to automatically jump away from danger instantly within the same sector. The distance and direction are random. This is due to the fact that you are hotwiring your jump drive!</t>
    <t id="1248">Stops the autopilot from continuing to ready the jump drive</t>
    <t id="1247">With a freight scanner and special command software your ship can auto scan any other ships nearby to locate criminals.</t>
  </page>
  
</language>

in the actual t file instead of:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<language id="44">

<page id="17" title="mass driver generator">
 <t id="11363">Mass-Driver ammo Generator</t>
</page>

<page id="7550" title="mass driver generator">
 <t id="1">Enable Mass Driver Ammo Generator</t>
</page>
</language>

Which is what should be in the t file to get the Mass Driver Ammo Generator to display correctly. My problem is, obviously, how do I fix it? Would it just be a case of copying the content from your t file over into my t file? Should those things even be in that t file? (I do use the auto fright scan script) Or is it not that simple?

Again. any help appreciated

[Cycrow]

i think the problem is y you have something else in the file.

most likly, someone else's script is using the same filename, which is causing a conflict.

which means that both scripts will not function together.

you could simply put the correct contents into that file, but that will end up breaking the other script.

you should be able to find out using the game resources section in the plugin manager.

it should display what scripts are using the same text files

[Buck_Rogers]

It doesnt though. I have no conflicts listed.

[Cycrow]

did u install any other scripts without the plugin manager ?

[Buck_Rogers]

Not that I can remember. I've always used the PM.

I think the problem is, I have fiddled with command slots for the script that is using the same t file as you. I think. It was conflicting with other scripts, so I changed the command slot. Seemed to work

I know which one it is, so I have put a post in the thread in question. Wether or not the author is still around to change it to a different t file, I dont know. Probably the only way it will get fixed. Unless I can learn how to script and do it myself.

[Buck_Rogers]

Fixed it. With alot of help!

Both t files are now merged into one. So the code for your script and the other one I'm using are both present.

works fine.

[Torias]

All three download links seem to be broken now D:

[Buck_Rogers]

Try PM'ing Cycrow. i think his website has a habit of being down a fair bit though.

[Cycrow]

first page is updated with new server.

i changed where my files were hosted awhile ago, but with so many scripts, i didn't get chance to change all the posts to point to the new servers

now i've forgotten which i changed and which i havn't, so im jsut waiting for ppl to post with problems

[Peanutcat]

Is there a way to make it generate so u hav elike.. 100 in ur cargo?
A centaur with all mass drivers waste them kinda fast

[Mr_Blastman]

So I have a question...

In order to use most of these scripts/mods (I haven't the slightest clue how to enable scripts, it looks complicated), I have to select "Modified" mode in settings.

It then warns me I can't upload my stats/etc. to Egosoft. Is this a major detriment or does nobody care and everybody is using this mod manager thing regardless?

[Peanutcat]

It only depends on what u want... it's kinda pointless unless u want to brag about your legendary skills and ranks

[Buck_Rogers]

Also, don't forget you will need to activate the Script Editor to get some of these scripts working.

[Mr_Blastman]

Do you have to launch the game with the script editor (cycrows program) or just have it loaded under windows?

Or are you talking about in the game itself? If it is in the game, how do you do that?

[Buck_Rogers]

Never have the Plugin Manager open, when you run the game!

Or are you talking about in the game itself? If it is in the game, how do you do that?

Correct. However to prevent pollution of Cycrows thread, I shall direct you here
