[Script]Add Special Equipment to Docks

[ITFUncleDave]

Greetings!

I'm currently working on my script to Add Special Equipment to Docks.
It includes a custom menu for users to select what equipment they want to add to Equipment Docks.

Currently: V1.00 Under Development

The script allows you to select exactly which wares (via a menu) you want to be sold at NPC equipment docks or trading stations (for a maximum of 10 added wares at any one time). In the future there will be extra features for Player-Owned Equipment docks but lets focus on one thing at a time The user may also specify if they want the added wares to be kept at a certain level of stock.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Script Requires:

Cycrow's X Plugin Manager

Cycrow's Community Configuration Menu

This script's configuration menu may be found in the Community Config Menu.

I would like bioscanner and e-cells... (yes, e-cells. For some reason my m7 cant dock at a ssp >.> )

You could always do one of those configuration menu things that cycrow has and let people pick what they want ^^ (that would get you extra points for style too)

[ITFUncleDave]

Yes, i was considering it but....

A) You'd be surprised how tricky menus like that are to make
B) When i made the script (most of it is done) I didn't think ahead and if i were to add a User-Configurable Menu I would have to re-write the majority of the script... maybe in a later release if enough people want it.
C) If I add Ecells the local traders (and your own if you want) will have to keep the EQ docks stocked up, i'm not saying i won't, just bare that in mind

hello,

Are you talking about NPC's EQ docks or player's ones ?
Always wondered the usefullness of buying some except to park TLs, it would be nice if we could get player's EQ Docks functionnal with upgrades (maybe with a little price)

regards,
Seedz

PS : if not, i don't really get the point, some upgrades are common, some don't like high-tech ones : triplex, teleport, jumpdrive, ... and must remain attached to the race they belong to
but it could be nice to have all EQ Docks sell Fight / Trade / Nav / Special command software Mk1 / Mk2, booster, MATS, duplex, (all the basic stuff), wich are some time really a pain to get =)

[corhen]

i think there should always be some E-Cells there, like 40 at 100 apice

would also like to see that at trade centers, crazily over priced E-Cells, for when you are in a hurry

Funnily enough i've never tested this The script is designed for NPC equipment docks but if the Player Owned EQ docks are also classed as "Equipment Dock" then this script will affect them too...

are third-party mods allowed. In this case I'd like to add the Repair Laser to a few stations in my game.

[ITFUncleDave]

Well the repair laser is an actual weapon in the game so that should be easy enough to add...

[KRM398]

Theres already a script to add triplex and JD to equipment docks, got that, but remember if everything is at every dock, then you could basically play your trading game without ever traveling, isnt that the point?

[ITFUncleDave]

That is why i made a menu, to give users the choice of what they want to be readily available, to me, Jumpdrives should definately be sold in more than ~3 locations considering they're used by the military.

[Puruco]

I vote for add everything that can be add. The user have the choice of select what he want.

Hi ITF. Any progress on tha "add list"?

Ty...

[TSM]

Looks interesting

I would like bioscanner and e-cells... (yes, e-cells. For some reason my m7 cant dock at a ssp >.> )

erm you do realise that M7's not that much smaller than an M2

[ITFUncleDave]

Hi ITF. Any progress on tha "add list"?

Ty...

Yes, actually, just forgot to update the thread, i'm recoding the menu and fixing some nasty nasty bugs.

[Wolf-R1]

What about all the Trade Command softwares? Especially MK3!

[corhen]

im rather happy with the MK3 being only at the Teladi, that rather makes sense.

for the E-cells im installing the Free Jump by Graxter

im setting it so that i have to pay per jump, so it allows me not to break the game, without being frustrated by not being able to jump!

[amirite]

About the Repair Laser - if that ware is added, then it should retain the stock/price information that Grax's mod changes it to, right?

VV Cool, yeah that would be nice to have then. I think it's appropriate for Equipment docks.

[Lancefighter]

About the Repair Laser - if that ware is added, then it should retain the stock/price information that Grax's mod changes it to, right?

yes, it would; mods change all instances of it, everywhere.
this just adds it as a ware to the stations.

[Troubleshooter11]

Im not sure what your intention is but if im thinking what you are thinking:

Imo player equipment docks should contain all the equipment required to make the player independent of the NPC races.

So:

- all the software upgrades (fight, trade, navi, special, etc)
- jumpdrives and transporters
- engine tunings, cargo bay expansions, rudder optimalization
- scanners (duplex/triplex)

If i misunderstood the concept of this script then im sorry.

I am currently in the process of re-writing the entire script to increase functionality and usefulness by ALOT. Please refer again to my first post for more info.
