I'm probably going to sound like an idiot, but were are the custom commands? I can't see them with the others.

Download the latest version. I checked the link and it was broken, I have restored it and files might have changed, but I don't think so.
Make sure you have the script editor enabled.
Open up the commands menu on your ship, there will be a Custom menu that looks exactly like Fight, Navigation, Trade and in the same place.

Nope, nothing there apart from navigation, fight, trade, special and general. Maybe there is another script conflicting with it?
I have all of cycrows scripts on, LV's Arena, Deathmatch arena and race response fleets, and the Terracorp script.

If you feel like sending me a savegame you can email it to aalaardb@yahoo.com. I can then see what scripts are running and stuff. There is no conflict with other scripts however.

You should have unzipped the the zip to the X3 Reunion directory, because the zip already has the scripts folder included. Check inside your X3 Reunion/scripts folder and look for ADB.Comms.*, if nothing's there that was a bad install.

I have tried a new game, and it still isn't there. I will maybe try a fresh install, but I think that might be a bit drastic.

That's not necessary yet, we still have things to check and try. Go to the AL settings page, is it turned on?

Just wanted to say that you've done a great job with these scripts!

Although I do not get the point of some (or should a say of most *gg*) of the jokes taken from your favorit show, it's actually quite funny (if I get the point....I'm getting better ^^). But that's just because I'm german :D .

But apart from this little understanding problem it adds much more life in this AI-universe :thumb_up: ! Looking forward to see a spoken chatter one day :wink: .

Thank you.

Yeah, in the AL settings I have Comm chatter and Comm missions turned on. I have also installed the missions on page 1 of this thread aswell, if that helps.

OK checklist:
1. All files are installed in their proper directories. Basically just check that there are several ADB.Comm.* files in the X3 Reunion\scripts folder. Also check for al.plugin.ADB.Comms and al.ADB.Comms.EventHandler.
2. Check that Navigantional Command Software Mk1 is installed in the playership.
3. Turn off the plugin, wait a second, turn it on.
4. Check if X3 Reunion/logfile73535.txt file exists. If it does, it will tell me some debug stuff. Rename it to something. It will be in the main X3 directory, if it's not there then fine.
5. Turn off all 3 of my plugins, save, load, run this
deletion script.
6. Check for logfile73535.txt again, email both to aalaardb@yahoo.com.
7. Turn back on all 3 plugins, CCM first.

NP.
So there is no logfile73535.txt?
I think what happened was you somehow got a hold of a beta version, did I post a beta version? I can't remember.

No, there is no logfile. I downloaded the very first version that you posted on here, as I have been following this idea since it was first mentioned. Since then I hav re-downloaded each new one, and installed over the top of the previous files. Maybe some filenames changed and they didn't get replaced?

I'm sorry if this has been said, but anychance of the system Freelancer uses, and have general background chatter?

Obviously it would be quieter than any message ment for you. Its just a little lonely in space :(

Possible, but way too complex.

OK am I stupid or what?

I have installed the T files to the T folder and the Scrpts to the Scripts folder. I have loaded the game and checked that the chat script is on YES and the mission is on NO.

I have terned off the chat and a few seconds later switched it back on. I have saved my game and then loged out and loged back into it. I have bought the Nav software mk1 for my ship but I could not find the COMMS that is supposed to pop up?

Maybe its because I bought the Nav software mk1 after I had loaded the Script in?

Where should I be looking for the COMMS? Should I take it all out and start again? I really want to get this to run but I am playing in the Custom Game and all other scripts that I have downloaded from this sight are working.

You said something about turning off all 3 scripts what ones do you mean? I could only see 2 the missions one and the chit-chat one.

If I think of anything else that may be useful to you trying to work out my problem I will put it here. I do believe I have done something stupid though and its going to take you 3 seconds to work it out.

Stay safe!

Would it be possible to have this script just look at a text file so that ppl that have neither watched or have no interrest in Arrested Development being able to add their own quotes to the CCM?

I would actually like to use salvage 1.2 and get hints without having to listen to your AD text.

Not trying to be rude i hope you understand, but i believe red dwarf, star trek, or any of the other shows from space having quotes would be closer to the genre than a lawyer show.

Thanks

It's not a lawyer show, it's a comedy! The text is supposed to make you laugh!
Anyways, read the first post, I have edited it. Although I don't like the idea, it was actually designed from the beginning to be alterable or removeable.

Honestly i wasn't trying to be rude or judgemental so please excuse me if it sounded that way. I'm very happy that the modding comunity is working to make the game better.

No don't worry about it, you didn't sound that way. I love Arrested Development, it's the funniest comedy I've ever seen. Better than Friends, better than Seinfeld. But I understand other's don't like it and it's about to be canceled due to low viewership. I was just trying to share my love of AD and make a few peopel laugh.

I just started watching reruns of Farscape. I could take the quotes from that show, but since it's a scifi show not a comedy would they be funny one liners? I don't think they'd fit. Yes true a comic one liner doesn't fit into a space setting either, but at least it can stand alone.
