[SCRIPT] Winnable Lottery V1.00 : Updated 26/11/2005

[Savage_Mortician]

I recently won two Mammoths with this lottery yet i was perfectly able to order them around.
I have sold one and am planning on using the other.

[Cycrow]

winning a mammoth is actually an error, its most likly missing the library files to select the valid ship, u could make sure you have the latest version of the BBS Extras to prevent it

[Saxit]

It's only the 10000 credit lottery that's winnable right? ^^

[Cycrow]

thats right yeah.

the othere are the standard in game lottery.

you can usually tell the different, as the winable one always appears the same and is slightly different format

[Saxit]

Thanks for the quick answer Don't you ever sleep?

[Cycrow]

i do sometimes, but only limited amount

[Onerious Deletion]

This will be my first script but i dont know how to use scripts or anything so could you send me a link to teach me he scripting? i want to have a winnable lotto in my game instead of spending another mill or 2 in lottos that arn't winnable

the stickies are the best place to look for information on what you need.

but put simply, you need to first install the script, then in your saved game you need to enable the script editor so the scripts can run

i have been buying tickets for a whole week and a half.. and all i won was a lausy M5 (I installed this script with with BBS Extras)... are the possibilities too hard?

Whats the biggest price youll get?

[Cycrow]

u can get upto 2 million, or an M3, but the prizes.

the hcances to win is completly ranom, so its down to luck

[chrisvarns]

whoa i just won 2million.yay and three M4 ships.i have like won bout three times in a row.lol awesome.

[arcana75]

Should be fixed in the BBS Extras script pack; this script should be deprecated in favour of that.

[Cycrow]

yeah if your using 1.61 of the BBS Extras, then you should no longer win all the time.

I was playing the other day and bought upwards of 20 tickets and did not win once - playing today i figured out how to never lose ...

Bug or Feature ?

Spoiler

Show

Buy a ticket and fly immediately to a nearby station - win comes in as you dock - worked now 15 times in a row - win varies from 1.5 and 2 mio. to various ship models

[Cycrow]

like i said before, it sounds like you are not using the latest version

[Jaxom01]

Yeah - just updated to 1.61 and no more wins - from 4 tickets

I might just re-install 1.60

[Cycrow]

it was basically a abit of debug code i added in to make it always winnable so i can test some things, and forgot to take it out when i released it

[Sch1llman]

great... "winnable lottery"
i never won anything and i always try it if i have the possibility. i think i spent something around 500.000 credits in the lottery!

[Cycrow]

well, you have to make sure u are using the correct lottery, this adds a new one to the game, but the old one is still there. So if you play the old one, its not going to help

but the chance of winning is still random, so you can have good and bad days.

the odds are just significally better than a standard lottery

[arcana75]

My biggest win was a fully decked Argon Nova, 1 of only 2 ship wins...
