[MOD] Galaxy Station Range v1.4 (update 27th Feb '16)

Post by YorrickVander » Sun, 13. Jul 14, 23:10

Galaxy Station Range v1.4
===================

1.4
----

Fixed for 4.0 release.

Now on steam or non steam here https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ll867zqa609u ... 4.zip?dl=0

Due to user error (mine) the mod no longer has same steam id. Please see Steam description for how to fix between versions.

1.3.6
------

Updated with lua from 4.0 beta and added functionality to assign subordinate range to Architects. In vanilla a trade ship assigned to an architect can only trade in sector, but no feedback is given for this potentially leaving the trader wandering uselessly around. For now they can trade up to Galaxy range without needing the station to build the radar dish. Feedback on this welcomed.

Architect range is set in the same way as managers; Ship details > Architect Details > change range.

This version will not go up on steam until 4.0 is released - see d/l link at bottom of this post.

6th Mar update - 3.50b3 compatibility from Phipz

v1.3.5
-------
Phipz/Chudnofsky has patched the mod to work with 3.20 and 3.50 beta. Thanks and hugs to Phipz :)

Small update bypassing a decompilation error in the vanilla lua, final ui lockup should now be gone. The trade queue is no longer shown in the captain details, but displays normally in ship details.

v1.3
------

Updated for XR v3.10
UI Lockups appear to be fixed, please let me know if you find otherwise.

v1.2
------

Redone for XR 2.50. Players not signed up for public will not receive this update until ES push 2.50 to main version :)

v1.1 bugfix
-------------

Fixed an error in ui file replacement, should be working correctly from Workshop now.

What is it?
------------

A mod with modified detail monitor file to allow station managers subordinate traders to work galaxy wide if the station has its radar dish built. Miners are unaffected, remaining at cluster range with cluster or galaxy set and Architects operate as usual.

Uninstall
----------

Make sure any managers are trading at cluster range maximum and uninstall mod. I take no responsibility for crashing games or burning architects if you try removing it with galaxy range set. I have no idea what will happen ;)

Download
-----------

Steam workshop (v1.3.5 for XR 3.61)
1.3.6 for XR4.0 beta here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/yu1u9twrr3jjc ... e.zip?dl=0

Ponders if I need this at the moment....

Hmmm, pictures my Rahanas captains trying to get out of Lost Colony..

Ohhh Nooooo, can't have my poor nearly defenseless captains getting clobbered by all those big nasty ships on other side of jump gate.. :o :o

Methinks I wait till I can replace my Rahanas with Titurels..

Thanks anyway Yorrick :lol:

I've downloaded and enabled the mod and all my stations have dishes. I even installed the one with the trade agent on it and paid for trade agents in every station.

When I go to my manager for the station menu I dont get the choice for galaxy. Only system, zone...

What did I do wrong?

Tyvvm! so how do I fix it? Just exit game on steam and it redownloads or do I have to uninstall, reinstall?

Exit game with steam in online mode, restart game. in case of no update check in extensions > galaxy station range (in game) and make sure updates : yes is selected.

just a question... when galaxy wide is selected, do ships go everywhere? Even maelstrom?

If yes, is there any way to be sure they don't get doomed by some xenons without warnings? I never (except in logbook) have infos on my ships being attacked... would be great to be informed before they blow...

Thanks

If they are REALLY desperate for wheat they might go to sigma sector. Do you imagine galaxy range means they just jump to zones at random?

Just a heads up I put up a new station just now and I could choose Galaxy without the radar dish. Does this mean I can choose it at any time and it only works when I "Extend" the Radar dish?

Yup. In case of issue, which can crop up in vanilla if a ship is assigned before radar is built, reassign to station manually.

Hehe well you could, but that sector isn't too heavy on combat. And you don't of course have to set all stations to use galaxy range. I made it for lazy devries dwelling ;)
