[SCRIPT] Command Queuing V1.21 : 26/05/2009

[StormMagi]

I would love to know as well

[pelador]

Would like to add "be nice to see this functioning".

I can add command cues into the set-up. On execution in the command console however the ship just goes to command "none".

Jump options would be a bonus addition.

[KELMAR]

haha, thank you, i guess that hadn't caught my eye in the list

I've been dreaming about something like this since ... I can't remember any more... could have made a post about it way back during x3r... now it is finally possible (hurray Cycrow and menus!)

Just wondering off the head....

Would command queues becomes recursive??? (i.e. having a command queue that executes another command queue)

If this is possible, then the loops can possibly be handled in a more generic form... in fact.... BRANCHING COULD BECOME POSSIBLE...... LOL.... like implementing a new meta-script over the existing script engine.

before you know it, you could be adding meta-variables too (if you haven't already been doing something like that underneath already)...

more, give us more!!!!!

lol.. more seriously, I think more details/tutorials could be useful on how to add on a new queue command (unless I missed out an existing one somewhat. if so, I apologize for my unbearable impatience ). For me, I had to read a couple of your scripts before I can roughly figure out. I think most casual scripters may not even go that far. Having a standard reference "template" on how to implement a wrapper for an existing script into a queue command could be useful too.

regards and pardon me if you heard this too many times: excellent work!

[FalconGrey]

this will make X3 like that old space strategy game Stars! where u could que a repaeating order
cycrow does this mean i can setup a repeating manual trade route?
Buy X amount of good A then sell then X amout n repeat?

OMG! Someone else played Stars!!!???
I still have the CD and Manual to it! lol

[Cycrow]

can anyone whos still having problems using this post what troubles they are having so i can look at fixing it when i get everything sorted out again

[JFJohnny5]

Hi Cycrow. (Welcome back, by the way.) I still have problems with Saved Queues. I can directly tell a ship to run a Queue where I build the orders right then and there, and it works fine.

But if I build the queue ahead of time and save it, that's when I run into problems. I can then go to the ship and tell it to run a saved queue. I choose the queue to run. It's current order briefly flashes as "run a queue" then changes to "none" and the ship does nothing.

I've tried all different sorts of commands in the queue. It doesn't seem to matter. It won't run a saved queue.

That make sense?

[Cycrow]

Ok, theres an updated version available, this should fix the saved queues running, and creating queues without arguments

[MadGizmo]

Looks like a handy tool.

I have a problem with it, though. After installing the SPK I cannot assign a hotkey to it. It's not in the "Interface" list. However, I am able to find it in the "Plugin Configuration" menu. Selecting your script and then selecting "Create with arguments" or "Create without arguments" does nothing. It goes blank for a moment, but that's all I get.

Any suggestions?

[Cycrow]

slight packaging error, i've uploaded a new version, 1.21 now.

is anyone else having problems loading it up ?

[ezra-r]

can you set the script to include a queue and set it to repeat over and over indefinetly until you stop it?

[Cycrow]

you can set up a queue and get it to repeat a number of times, or continously

if you want a certain script to be used, you can easily added it to the available commands

then just create a repeated queue with that command, and your script will be run over and over until you deactive the ships command

[ezra-r]

great!!! thank you, installing!

(that hub mission was never going to get done manually with such huge requirements! unless I found an automated way of handling a freighter to do it)

Hi Cycrow,

This is a brilliant script, takes a lot of the tedious micro-management out of orders. Many thanks

Just one thing though- in case i'm missing it. Is there a "Jump to Sector" Option in this? I cannot seem to find it, and would be most useful...

[Cycrow]

no jump command yet, but adding commands is pretty easy, even other scripters can add new commands easily

[Chemical-mix]

Cool. Now i'm not a scripter, and would have no idea where to start- any of you kindly scripting heroes able to set that one up? It's the only command i'm missing in my quest for an end to micro-management...

slight packaging error, i've uploaded a new version, 1.21 now.

is anyone else having problems loading it up ?

Yes, i still have, like MadGizmo. Can i find *.zip file?

Same here, selecting the option (in both the configuration and the ship command menu) returns me to the previous screen.

Perhaps there is a conflict with another script or mod I have installed. Is there any way to determine this?

[triggerman]

i am also unable to set a hotkey as its not in the interface list with all the other plugin hotkeys.

[lostsoulzeffigy]

(hangs head in shame)

Unfortunately i as well am having a problem with this script

I open the Plugins Configuration menu. (via hotkey)
I click "Cycrow: Command Queues" (others are listed here as well, satellite early warning network for example)
I click "Create with(out) Arguements"
...at this point it just returns me to the Plugins Configuration menu screen.

I also have a handful of other scripts/mods installed but they all seemed to be working fine (8+ hours of gameplay).

Ideas?

Am 100% willing to help diagnose the problem in whatever ways possible so just ask. (can even list the scripts/mods im using if desired)
