Rookie question

Post by **euclid** » Tue, 20. Apr 04, 15:42

I'm not running any scripts or cheats on my X2 1.3 but now I got fed up spending too much time with transferring money from/to my 300+ fabs.

I would like to install a script that automatically keeps the credits of any of my fabs at a certain level. For example, I want all fabs to have 2.5 M at any time. Any amount eceeding 2.5 should be automatically transferred to my account; anything lower 2.5 M will be automatically stocked up from my account.

(1) Does there exist such a script and

(2) could someone explain in simple words how to make it run?

Please?

Cheers Euclid

Station accountant 3.5
get off of Babyface's web site.
(search for author Babyface, the site is in his signature)
you'll have to look for it on his site.
file has a readme explains how to install.
adds a command to your menu that allows you to transfer credits.

Thanks !

They should incorportate something like that in patch 1.4. Just think about it:
one transfer takes, say 30 seconds, if you have 300 fabs that's 150 minutes or 2.5 hrs !!!!!

A lot of people have voted for it to become a signed script, but it's been shot down. So it won't be adopted by ego. I've no idea why. Maybe someone involved will enlighten us.

Ok, read the thread. No global station scripts are allowed. Maybe if you had to install an extension on every factory to allow the funds transfer they'd consider making it official.

I've downloaded station accountant 3.5 and installed it to my x2 directory. Then I've started X2, loaded my last game and then.......?

Nothing seems to have changed. Do I need to activate the script? Or maybe I'm just to silly to find the right button.

Help Please.

You need to enable the script editor for any unsigned scripts to work.

A search on enable script editor will return enough to get you going.
(or look at the sticky entitled 'script editor' at the top of this forum)

If you're still having problems, a search on station accountant will cover everything.

Cheers.

PS and before you ask about the modified tag, a search on no modified tag will point you towards how to remove it.

Well, if the global scripts don't work, maybe a Station Accountant MK I software could be bought for your ship??

I think this would be a cool idea. Price it at whatever Egosoft thinks is fair, but at least provide players with it. Having to manually manage every station's funds isn't a big deal early, but once you have about 100 stations it gets out of hand.
