X2 Shipyards

Post by khaakbaiter »

Note to moderators: Please move this topic if it's in the wrong place, this seems to be the "best fit". :wink:

I'm currently playing on the latest top gun Mod (Plays like a dream!)
I've installed my Shipyard and I've noticed that the primary resource is Energy cells... I have a few questions:

A) What are the E-cells for?
B) Can you acually make ships to sell or use?
C) How do you get it to make ships and stations?

If it's any thing to do with scripts and modding please make it simple, as Radarhazard thinks computer programming to be something you do with a hammer. :o

You should try contacting the mod's author (by PM would probably get the quickest response).

If your refering to the teladi shipyard that I made buyable in me mod then you have to know how to use the included scripts with the mod. Please post in the thread for my mod or pm me. The game doesn't properly recognize player owned shipyards so you always get ecells as a resorce when dropping a shipyard. They don't do anything but they are there.

Well ATC,

I want to know how to make shipyards produce ships and station in my shipyard and wharf...

Radarhazard wants to know if the same can be done for scrap merchants?

Thank you for your help :wink:

As in, produce ships like the NPC shipyard.

Answer: Can't be done. No code exists for it.


The other thought, produce ships like a factory...

Answer: Can't be done. Shipyards are treated differently than factories in the Hard Code.

In oter words...

There are actually several ways to have a player owned shipyard, but the only problem I have encountered is there being no ships to buy. EG I can actually mod in the option to buy a shipyard or I can just place a player owned one right in the game. Problem is I have to specifically list all the ships and stations you can buy at it. When that is done and the shipyard is placed I could not buy any of the ships. I have tried several methods to actually put the ships in the shipyard, but so far i've been unsuccseful. :( Sorry but it seems that the player actually getting to buy ships from they're own shipyard can't be done.
