How do you start scripts? Not as easy as it looks...

Post by RustiSwordz »

I got a hold of the following script: Khaak Secon Invasion script v3.

Question: How to start it?

Ok i got the script in the top from Xscripting.com

i plopped the scripts into the scripts folder.

Now i double clicked on the script after reading the readme saying to click on the secondinvasionstarter xml file.

I did that, and all i got was a lot of script code. So i thought OK lets do this in the game via script console thingy.

Which i did and the same pile of code appears.

Question: how do i 'start' this script off, it appears to involve more than double clicking on a file name which the readme sugeests.

Some scripts work just by plopping the relevant files into the relevent folders, but some like this one are misleading and vague as to their function and how to start it.

Help.

What i would like to see is a simple: would you like to start this script? after right clicking/selecting it. What am i doing wrong? Help.

.
don't double click on the file to reveal the code.

Just press 'r' on the script name whilst in the Script Editor to invoke the script.

Thats all I do.. :?

V3 is outdates, please use Version 4.1

PS is xscripting uploads working, so I can update it?

PPS the readme says "Please run khaaksecondinvasionstarter.xml to start this, for more information on how check out egosoft.com" At least you followed the second part of it :P
