[Gezron]

Dead link, can anyone else rehost it?

[Gliftor]

Does anyone know how to make asteroids or at least change there yield # and type?

Thanks in advance!

Theres a script for this kind of thing

Ive used it a few times and its very easy to use.

Hmm I can't seem to get the script to work.

My X3:R is a steam installation and should be fully updated. AFAIK

I've got the following scripts / mods installed:

EMP mod
Anarkis Carrier Commands
Complex Cleaner
Factory Complext Constructor
LV's Cheats

To Fud: nice job this scripted saved me big time, now i can choose empty sectors and build.

Notice something odd to me but assuming its just me.

i never really paid any attention to the silicon factories before but since i install this Script i've been noticing the Time frame for production on silicon factories on each yield... Messed around at after noticing it to see.

From Silicon Mine L type 32 yield, Production Time -1 Minute and 13 seconds and under...
and Silicon Mine L type 40 or 50 Yield, Production Time -2 to 3 minutes...

call me stupid but i figured the higher the yield the better the production, specially the time frame on production as well. but its actually the opposite.

How about turning this into a BBS mission, where a corporation with access to "long-range scanners" will pinpoint with some degree of accuracy, the coordinates of a "hidden" asteroid belt(really, it creates the asteroid belt on accept of the mission.)

It doesn't quite feel right to simply create an asteroid from my ship's interface

Great idea though!

I hate to necropost on this but... it seems that the newer plugin installer will not work with this .spk . I was wondering if i could get anyone with the ability to do so to convert this into a newer format .spk that can be installed with the current tools available.

Forgive me if I'm just an idiot but it would seem that the link is dead, at least for me. Am I missing something or has it just been that long? Either way, if any one has the actual script I don't mind typing it up in game myself.

Creating a asteroid with the Script Editor isn't that difficult, since there is a dedicated command for it: <RetVar> = create asteroid: type=<Var/Number> addto=<Var/Sector> resource=<Var/Number> yield=<Var/Number> x=<Var/Number> y=<Var/Number> z=<Var/Number> (to be found in the General Object Commands). This article on xai-corp.net explains it and gives a basic example.

Thanks, I've found the command, my main concern is finding out how to open up the map to position it. Think I've got something anyway but the speedy reply is much appreciated!
