[Script] Factory Complex Constructor [22.9.2007] [V3.21 FINAL]

[asmondar]

sorry but this will be my first script ever but I can't find the place to set my own hotkeys for this script. If someone could explain to me where exactly to set it that would be great, thanks.

To Set your HotKeys, Hit Esc, then Controls, Interface

For this script and maybe all others, not sure myself, the commands are under the Extensions. Just scroll down and you'll see Extensions with a bunch of commands below there.

Select the command you want, hit enter Add control, hit key(s) you want and hit Apply Esc and Save changes and that should be all.

@asmondar: oh... damn. That doens't sound good... But I'm very thankful that you tell us those errors - othwerwise, we maybe would never have seen it...

The readtext-error isn't caused by the script itself, I think. Try to run the readtext-bugfix again. If that doesn't help, download the FCC again and replace the old textfile. I think that's not a major problem...

And my bugfix doesn't work correctly with the resources, I've tried it some minutes ago
Seems that the array <>= <> ->get tradeable ware array of station puts out something very strange. At least, the sequence seems to be different at some stations. And the command <> <> -> uses ware <> as primary resource is buggy too. Sorry, but how you've said, I have to work... I'll have a look at it and try to fix that as good as possible, but I can do that soonest in the evening...

And I hate to say that, but I am only the translator of this scirpt, I didn't write it... Unfortuneately, I don't really know how to fix the problem. I just can try to write a little bugfix, but I'm a noob in scripting too. I told Lt. Ford that problems yesterday, I hope he fixes it as soon as possible. And again, I'm really sorry for all the trouble. This shouldn't happen...

Thanks but I think thats where my problem is, there are no other things under extensions except for the stuff that came with the bonus pack. I used the script installer program to install this script and then tried to install it manually also. I don't understand why it isn't showing up. Any insights?

Did you type Thereshallbewings as your pilot name? That's the only thing I can think of, to activate the Script editor. You need it active to use some / most / maybe all scripts.

I thought that I might as well help out since i'm using it. and No problem.

The readtext-error isn't caused by the script itself, I think. Try to run the readtext-bugfix again. If that doesn't help, download the FCC again and replace the old textfile. I think that's not a major problem...

I did rerun bugfix, but nothing, I even manually ran it. I'll try to uninstall, and then bugfix, then reinstall FCC from a new dl'd version.

Did it and still readtext 118, I don't know why. When I uninstall and run bugfix, all hotkeys stay there and stay registered. Like I've said, my computer hates me.

And my bugfix doesn't work correctly with the resources, I've tried it some minutes ago
Seems that the array <>= <> ->get tradeable ware array of station puts out something very strange. At least, the sequence seems to be different at some stations. And the command <> <> -> uses ware <> as primary resource is buggy too. Sorry, but how you've said, I have to work...

All I can say is, Strange.

No problem, I appreciate you trying to help me out here. Like I said I understand that some people, me not included have jobs and arn't here all day long.

[bruinboi2007]

yeah that got it working, thanks a bunch!!

Well, we're testing the new version which doesn't contain the CTD-bug in this minutes. If it works, we'll upload it immediately.

And I've corrected my bugfix - it sets correct products and wares now, and it considers the rotation of the stations (the old version didn't).
The error in the old bugfix was caused by the array... I read out the values at the same time. X3 doesn't like that... Now I've corrected it.
Download it >>here<<

And something else: Are there any people interested, that the FCC supports stations from mods? (For example, Ashley's XXL-factories...)
I could modify the library, that would be no problem. So you could move and rotate mod-stations - But it would be impossible to build them with the FCC-command...

[X-Freak Cartman]

You had to use several libscripts - one for each mod. Thats necessary because the stations have certain IDs which are used by multiple mods.

I'd recommend updating the libscript for Ashley's XXL Stations and the XTM such as the DDRS. Other Mods shouldn't be that popular.

[-Dusty-]

I think you didn't fully understand what I mean...
in the current version, the products and resources get removed from stations, when you defixate them. And when they get fixated, the wares will be added to the station again. But this isn't necessary - just stopping the production task would be enough.

It's possible to defixate the stations without removing the products, a library isn't required for that. This way, the FCC could support every possible station - but ONLY for moving and rotating! The mod-stations had to be built with the standard-command. like I wrote above...
btw. Why am I writing in english, if only you have to understand me?

[asmondar]

Cool if you need any help testing I'm sure I can try to break it again!

Sweet! You rock.

I don't usa Ashley's XXL Factories, I don't think I'd have to look. So I don't have a large opinion. My suggestion is, depending on how difficult this would be, If its something that can be done easily, I say do it might help things down the line with people asking for more stuff and what not. If it's difficult well, don't hehe.

Command-Slot
COMMAND_TYPE_SPECIAL_56 (556)

We have a little conflict here with the Scrap Ship at HQ script, could you guys resolve it?

[-Dusty-]

@xalien: Oh... sorry, we didn't see that cause the script isn't in the german list. I think we can change this...

Well, just for Information: I'm still workin on the FCC. I don't know what Lt. Ford is doing, but it seems that he didn't find a solution for the bug yet...

Now, I'm trying to fix the problems in another way than him. I wrote a new system for (de-)fixating the stations. So, the FCC can now move and rotate mod-stations (ins't possible with the actual version 3.1); I've fixed the CTD-Bug at defixated stations; and it's not possible anymore to defixate ships
But there are still some problems which I have to fix.

As soon as I fixed the bugs, I'm gonna release the adjusted version here as a non-official beta-version.

[Kaz Zardoz]

I used the last version, and i have no unfixed station, but when i leave sector and enter it again i have a ctd

[-Dusty-]

@Kaz Zardoz: Are you sure that you have no unfixed station? Did you try to use the bugfix? If not, download it >here<, and copy the file into your scripts-foler. Now the ctd shouldn't happen anymore...

Well, Lt. Ford told me yesterday that he's gonna release the new version before today. Looks like he didn't...
So, here's my version:

____________________________________________________________

Many thanks for new features and fixes.

I must be doing something wrong. I want to add a couple of cahoona bakeries to my complex. I select FCC from my TL ...I select the Cahoona Bakery....it asks for my offsets... and proceeds to create a NPC bakery. What am I missing here?
