[SCRIPT] Anarkis Defense System - v2.65.1 - [2010-08-13]

I'm having some trouble with the wings my carrier sends out. If I send a defensive wing to protect a ship and then decide to withdraw that wing back to the carrier before it gets to the target, what should I do? What about once it's at the target? Am I supposed to tell the carrier to dock all ships in both cases?

I ask, because when I do that the ships stop responding to *any* order, except the protect-target order

. If I give them a direct order (ie, not through the carrier) they will switch back and forth between that order and the protect-target order. I end up having to transport into them and use a docking computer to land them - the autopilot won't surrender the ship even when I'm trying to fly it! I read through the manual, but I didn't see anything obvious about this kind of thing. Happens on both my Python and my Shuri.

I am having problems with this Mod. (Version 1.7c) It's taken some time to narrow down the issues I was having, here's a link to my Tech Support post:

http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 05#3137605

This is the only script I am running, otherwise unmodified and it freezes/locks up with a Windows Vista "Apphang" error. I have to manually close the game with Task manager.

I have not tried piracy but since it locks up on a bailout I'm guessing it will also lockup on change of ownership (through Piracy).

Also, in case I have to abandon this mod, is there a method of recovering my saves which have used this mod? With this MOD removed, I cannot load any save game which made use of this mod.

Any help would be much appreciated, my brother has this working on his system (Win XP) so it's been a little frustrating.

Thanks in advance.

Serial Kicked wrote:For those who are wondering, this script is compatible with CODEA, as long as you don't use both on the same carrier! Apart from that, it should be compatible with anything that doesn't use the same command slots as ADS.

It would have been helpful if you had actually documented what slots that are (I'm just trying to put together a document for myself that shows slot/task/textfile assignments for all mods/scripts I plan to install).

Looking at 8510-L044.xml, I think it's the following:

Code: Select all

COMMAND_TYPE_GENERAL_30 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Homebase Settings)
COMMAND_TYPE_GENERAL_31 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Sell my wares...)
COMMAND_TYPE_GENERAL_32 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Buy ware for carrier...)
COMMAND_TYPE_GENERAL_33 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Send Defensive Wing)
COMMAND_TYPE_GENERAL_34 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Attack Wing against...)
COMMAND_TYPE_GENERAL_35 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Clear Sector)
COMMAND_TYPE_GENERAL_36 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Dock all ships)
COMMAND_TYPE_STATION_31 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Setup Defense System)
COMMAND_TYPE_STATION_32 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Sector Defense)
COMMAND_TYPE_SHIP_31 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Carrier Setup)
COMMAND_TYPE_SHIP_32 ......... Serial Kicked - ADS (Automated Carrier)

Is that correct?

Sorry i'm not giving too much care to ADS right now, as it's under a full rewrite (ADS will be mandatory for Yaki Armada) and converted to an AL Plugin too.

@ElminsterAU: You're right. And yeah i didn't document the slots, sorry about that.

@Scorp75: ???

Version 2.50 is out.

This update allows ADS to run on NPC carriers. This is also the minimum required version if you want to enable ADS features on the Yaki Armada plugin.

Is it intentional that there is no t file in the 2.50 release?

oops it wasn't intended.

Link Fixed !

Hi,

Does this latest version fix the issue with the ships losing their names when ADS takes over them?

Thanks

Serial Kicked · Post by **Serial Kicked** » Fri, 12. Feb 10, 00:23

I'm not 100% sure, i've tweaked the code a hell lot over the months and thus i don't recall if it fixes the issue or not. Good thing remembering me anyway, i'll check this weekend.

I found a problem when I used this script. Please help. A odin with 44 fenrirs is on patrol using automated function. But every time it meets a Q ,it definitely lose a fenrir. I don't see any shield decreasing. System will send me a blank message not like 'your ship xx was killed by xx in xx'. If I send all fenrirs manually to kill Q, it never lose a fenrir. So help,I love this script,I want to use it ,but I can't bear to lose a m3 when carrier simply meets a Q.
Secondly ,the script configs can't be saved? Such as mechanic, I hire 6 mechanics, when I enter the config again, these person are gone. Why?
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the report. I will give it a look this weekend with your carrier/fighter setup. I may have wrecked some parts of the code when altering this script so it can be used by yaki armada.

paulwheeler · Post by **paulwheeler** » Fri, 12. Feb 10, 15:43

This update hasn't fixed the naming issue.

Also it would be great if ADS would relenquish control of a ship or wing if you happen to give it a direct order.

Cheers

I have a suggestion. When I use this script , I think carrier can supply itself with something ,like energy cells. That will be very very good if it can happen automaticlly . You know that X3 is too many things. Can you add this capability for the script? You can assign a transport ship .The transport ship should be smart enough to know what time is the best time to supply , such as no enemy nearby, and no energy cell . At other times , the transport ship should stay in safety place ,Maybe the X3 already has this script ,sorry for that.

edit: question answered in first thread

Serial Kicked · Post by **Serial Kicked** » Sun, 14. Feb 10, 16:14

The main reason with the lack of ADS updates is that i'm waiting for the X3TC patch 2.6. As it will rebalance OOS battle (fighters will be less favored), i will have to rewrite most of the autocarrier AI to counter-balance this. That's why i'm somewhat reluctant to works on it currently.

I'm currently integrating the new defense system for docks and factories and altering the user interface. But i won't do much on the AI 'till the 2.6 release.

My fighters wont return to carrier or listen any other command, after "Send Defensive Wing" , only way to unstuck them of defending is making them retreat (by shooting em) , or destroying defended target. Is there any way to fix it?
sry for my english

ragamer · Post by **ragamer** » Thu, 25. Mar 10, 20:26

To miniroot:

Something similar also sometimes happens when issuing the "Dock All", the leader of the wing gets the order of attacking the target of one of his teamates, so the entire wing enters in a loop.

I solve BOTH situations by teleporting to the current wing leader and docking him manually in the carrier.

As I'm impatient by nature I'm tweaking some of the ADS code myself (knowing it will be a waste when the new version is released but... If you don't learn from the best scripters... take forever to get some scripting skills

), but as I want to finish 1st my 3 top priority changes (wing compossition based on target speed, wings coordination while fighting and wing leader name highlighting), I left this "bug hunt" for after I hunt the bugs I will trigger for sure for stomping SK code like a Mammoth into a Pottery Shop

... So:

a) If I find it.

b) The solution is small.

c) You are not afraid of editing scripts yourself.

d) And most important, SK don't mind.

I will post a "fix" here... While we wait for the next version of ADS to be released.

Sounds great! I for one will be giving it an appreciative whirl.
