[BONUS ADD-ON] SDS Station Delivery Service

[frymaster]

if everything is in the correct folders (the archives are quite good at showing you what goes where) then they should be installed.

you can tell if the new version of the mk3 trader is installed because when you select a ship containing it, the "move pilot to new ship" option appears in the "special" menu. Also, the pilot will not be called Julian, and the level of the pilot will appear in brackets after his name

TuningKit is available from TCHQ and pirate stations.

I know SDS is available from Paranid Prime and Trinity Sanctum, not sure about other places. The readme details what ships can be used for SDS - basically you can only deliver to 3 factories with a TP / TS ship. (Can deliver to 2 with a reduced range of ships, and to 1 with almost anything)

Thanks for the reply. I went to the Paranid Prime eq dock and at the very bottom was a strange upgrade that just said 'ReadText 173465' or something like that. I presume I haven't done something right?

I'm just about to get my first Mk3 trader so I can test that out soon. I will also call into TCHQ and see if that one is OK.

it sounds as though a file hasn't gone in the correct directory. The directory in question is called "t" and is where all the text descriptions go. Make sure all the files from the "t" folder of the archive end up in the "t" directory on your disk

Got a question about the files I'm supposed to install since I am also running the BPH script.

When copying the files from to the /script folder there is one file that I have a question about:

The file is lib.ship.var.setpilotname.xml The current version of this file is August 6, 2004. Not sure which script this came from but I think it was the updated BPH software script. What will happen if I replace this file with the one dated July 21, 2004 that is in the SDS.zip file?

Thanks in advance

[DeltaWolf]

I don't know what will happen, but I think they are the same file, the BPH has got a newer date. I've installed the BPH script after the SDS one, and replaced the file - everything is working fine.

So keep the BPH file

It says nothing about Equipment Docks and Trading Stations in the readme at the beginning of this thread.

I like to repeat my Question.

I have one or 2 deliver to TS. Dunno about the other way around. No reason why it shouldn't.

I have tried to transport from Equipment Dock using SDS last night but it is not transporting anything.

The SDS works for my factories but not for my Equipment Dock.

So unless i am doing something wrong that means SDS does not work with Equipment Docks and TRading stations.

SDS is a bit buggy
I had it happen, that after a while it was running around without any goods. return it home, issue the "none" command and restart helped.

But this might well have something to do with the 10% threshold. There was a discussion about it. This means, that it won't go back and forth for 2 shields, just like the old version of BPH

You could be wright, but i don't even know if the SDS is supposed to work for Equipment Docks.

Can any experienced SDS users please clarify this for us!

Can we use the SDS to transport products from Equipment Docks and Trading Stations?

[Spark]

Dang.
It can't work with TS and ED!
The command interface doesn't allow product imput! Only number of stations and which stations!
Sigh. Oh well, nice try.

[fchopin]

I have a question ticaki, are there any plans to upgrade the SDS to include Equipment Docks and Trading Stations in future updates?

[DeltaWolf]

So from the post above, you can transport to a TS / ED, but not from them.

Is this correct ? (I don't have a TS or ED)

Yes that is correct.

how do u get it to work wiht more than 1 station

[Dirk-Jan]

if I use SDS in my v1.4 game it only carries the cr per unit amount I set is the amount of cargo it carries to my station. To me this sounds as a very grave error in the script. Besides it charges the recieving station the price i set at the selling station. So it does sell and hence IS trading software.

Does sound weird uh? I was very surprised to see this happen! But here it is: "cr per unit" = "amount wares carried per run" .

Any thoughts on this from any SDS-guru??

[Spark]

So why not any info on the update? Maybe this l'le ol' reminder may help?
Please? What's new?
A pity, that the readme isn't updated...

[ticaki]

nothing is new for the english and german ppl... only for the french and italian
