Shiptrader hangs (fixed :-)

Hi All,

I have a problem with the shiptrader Ayaka Petrov on the shipyard in Devries.

I odered an upgrad of a captured Tituel. I waited hours but nothing happens only the ship goes to the dock.

So I removed the ship form my squadron and add it again 2 times. After this the ship moves from the dock but the updates where not istalled.

Now the shiptrader hangs and I can't buy or upgrade ohter ships.
The commands are not shown.

So I searched in the save and found a script that is running and it seams it is waiting for the ship to dock.

Code: Select all

I have no clue how I can reset the trader.
Can someone help me with a script that can set the trader to normal ?

Thx

Remove everything but the actor and the wareslist
* by everything, I mean everything within the <vars></vars> of that particular cue

these parts keep:

Code: Select all

<value name="$WareList" type="list" value="2109"/>
<value name="$actor" type="component" value="[0x2c83]"/>

What you do need to do however is verify that the 0x2c83 is the same actor ID as you're referring to though, make sure you get the right one.

I have the same problem with my Fedhelm mining ship!
I ordered the ship to the dock to restock it's cargo drones and got a message for a successfull docking action, but no matter what i do he wont get his drones and leave the dock.

I tried changing the sector and galaxy multiple times and removing/adding from squad also didn't help. The dock is blocked and the ship is stuck.

Would be nice if someone could have a look into this and try to get a universal scriptfix ready to undock a ship from the dock without having to work through a long list of scriptfiles in your savegame.

Frumph · Post by **Frumph** » Thu, 5. Dec 13, 01:29

^ Sometimes when they stay in dock to get more drones it's because they don't actually have drones available to give to you. So you have to wait until they are restocked or you restock them yourself.

Mordegar · Post by **Mordegar** » Thu, 5. Dec 13, 16:58

I made sure that there are enough drones in stock before buying them. I even checked the savegame file for the drones being there.

Frumph · Post by **Frumph** » Fri, 6. Dec 13, 16:16

then it could be this bug, and this mod fixes it until it's fixed in the main game code

I'll try it out later, i hope it'll get my ship out of the dock. Thank you!
