Station Accountant 3.0 installer

foxtrot359 · Post by **foxtrot359** » Mon, 26. Jan 04, 23:54

This is a updated version of Station Account 1.0

Station Accountant 3.0 does not loop instead it has a new menu
command, Transfer Money under custom. it also has the fixed
calculated values. You must have trading system extension install, and must not be docked to use it or button will be grayed out. If you are docked then just select an undocked ship.

You can find the new version at the X2 Scripting Center under scripts - trade

A Station Accountant 3.0 folder will be created in the pragrams folder with the readme file and a uninstall file to make it easier to remove the script files if you wish not to use them anymore.

This Station Accountant 3.0 will work with the following scripts;
XaiCorp Jumpdrive Commands 2.0
XaiCorp Automing Commands 1.0
Patrol 2.0

Right now I'm running these scripts:

Trade Extension MK3
FATE Factory Auto Trading Extension
XaiCorp Jumpdrive Commands

Will your script still be compatible you think? Cause I could really use an automated accountant, maybe I'll name him Marvin the Morose Robot Buddy.

It works with the follwing scripts;

Trade Extension MK3
XaiCorp Jumpdrive Commands 2.0
XaiCorp Automing Commands 1.0
Patrol 2.0

It does not work with the XaiCorp Trade Command Software MK1 v1.1
i found out after i uploaded and after i installed the XaiCorp Trade Command Software MK1 v1.1 that its using the same 44503.xml
file as the Station Accountant 3.0

what i just did was change the file name of the Station Accountant 3.0
44503.xml and the ID to 445101.xml and made a new installer for so it would not conflict with the XaiCorp Trade Command Software MK1 v1.1
I did not upload yet to the X2 scripting center site yet

I really didn't like the installer. Getting this installed into the windows registry is very overkill.

Does this do anything different from version 2?

foxtrot359 · Post by **foxtrot359** » Tue, 27. Jan 04, 11:09

will yes it has a Transfer Money button now under custom and it does not loop. which alot of people where complaining about.

The installer just makes it easier for poeple to uninstall the scripts and not alot of poeple know how to uninstall them manually. It's also easier to click on an uninstall file rather then trying to find which scripts belong to what, speically if your runing alot of other scripts. What the hell it only takes me 5mins to make an installer any ways, plus i add some usefull information in the info screen.

very nice! much better than being stuck in a loop. just had a question though, why does it say Auto pilot activated after transfering the money?

Fair enough I suppose, although I would prefer a non-installer option if possible (for your future endeavours).

I managed to modify the V2 script so it didn't loop and I just run it on demand. It does work fine and saves me ages moving money from my factories.

The 'Autopilot' feature happens for other scripts too. While it shouldn't really be happening, I can live with it. No idea if it can be stopped but I haven't yet got into scripting.

hmm never noticed the autopilot going on, i'll look into it. it would be an easy fix just add the command to go idle after the script runs

Can I get the modified version from you or will it be uploaded soon? I wanted to try out the script last night but noticed I had the 44503.xml already so I didnt install it.

I really liked the old version Foxtrot. Thanks. This one sounds sweet.

Now for the noob question... How do I turn off the old one?

Is FATE better than Xai's version? Xai's version for me seems a little flaky, won't ever buy for my spp's when they have no crystals and no energy made...

Ok i just uploaded station acountant 3.5 to x2 scripting center
it should be under scripts/other

It will no longer conflict with XaiCorp.Trade.Command.Software.MK1.v1.1
and i added incoming message to it, telling you how much money is in factories and player account

ah cool....thanks m8

kaine · Post by **kaine** » Wed, 28. Jan 04, 05:14

fantastic.... I have been using the old one that loops... if i install the new one will it overwrite the old one?

If not does anyone know how to remove the old one? i would rather not start my game again.

n0tsane · Post by **n0tsane** » Wed, 28. Jan 04, 05:26

i had the old one installed, and i'm sorry to bring you all the bad news but you will have to restart in order to get it to stop. its in an infanite loop and unless the devs fix the script editor to stop loops there is no way to stop this one. and if there is one now i'm going to be sad because i just got done starting over when i had beat the story part of the game.

kaine · Post by **kaine** » Wed, 28. Jan 04, 05:42

I just had an idea from reading some other posts. I had to select one of my factories (A SPP in Kingdoms End) when i first started the script. If i destroy that factory will that stop the script from running.

I hate to do it but it beats the hell out of starting all over again.

I remember the first time i started the script i selected my ship and as soon as i gave it a new command the script stopped running.

I don't know a great deal about scripting so could someone who knows a bit more than me tell me if this sounds right.

n0tsane · Post by **n0tsane** » Wed, 28. Jan 04, 09:16

not sure if that will work. i think the script was set to all stations after you set it to the one so it might still be in a loop after you destroy that one station.

on a side note the Station Accountant 3.5 is giving me strange messages about the Xai Jumpdrive Command software when i transfer my money. the first time i did it, it said how much i was given but now it just says thanks for using the Jumpdrive software. I do have that script installed, but I havn’t bought it for any of my ships yet.

foxtrot359 · Post by **foxtrot359** » Wed, 28. Jan 04, 10:55

hmm i tested the station accountant 3.5 before posting it and did not have the problem that your having with the jumpdrive script the message text is pointing to a differenet file then the text message in the jumpdrive script but it was tested with version 2.0 not 1.0 of the jumpdrive script, still i think the text message on both version are the same.

and yes the installer will over wirte the older version of the script install
but you have the problem of the save game saving the scripts, you mit need to go into the script editer first and delete the old stationaccountant script in there first, and resave the game then install the new, that should work without starting a new game.

foxtrot359 · Post by **foxtrot359** » Wed, 28. Jan 04, 11:14

One more thing i forgot to note is that when you uninstall scripts make sure you check the \t directory and remove any .xml file that was pointing to the scripts you want to uninstall, if you miss deleting even one file of an old script you want removed, it can cause you problems.
