Linux Script to find Erlking vaults

[x30n]

Hi

I cooked up a little script to make Erlking data vaults as player owned allowing you to memorize their locations and go find them in an unmodified game once again.

This works with Linux or at least GNU tools. So Windows without a Linux subsystem is out. For that a bat file is rumoured to exist but I could not find it (yet).

Script and instructions are here:

Good Profitssss to you

Wish I'd seen this first, without creating a modified save game I do it like this:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
 
errx() {
    echo "ERROR: $*"
    exit 1
}

The output looks like so, for this save, and it felt slightly less cheaty than seeing them on the map (it still requires me to send a ship to explore the sector, I assume that point mostly seems to be 0,0,0)

I assume my code probably works for others too, but there's so little shell script to do this out there that I thought I'd share my hacky approach here and at least maybe yours will get found more often too.

Glad it's not just me who hacked a shell script together.
