[SCRIPT] ACC: Anarkis Carrier Commands | v1.40 | 17 Oct 06
Moderators: Moderators for English X Forum, Scripting / Modding Moderators
Hi,
I REALLY like this script but unfortunately I have a fleet of small ships that don't use this because there aren't M1's. So, I could use a bit of help.
Does anyone know (or can provide detailed descriptions on how I can) how to enable this for the XTM mod?
The ships I'm thinking of specifically are the following:
All the M0's
Argon Griffin
Argon Cerberus
Split Panther
Anyones help would be greatly appreciated.

that can be done in the setup up script, copy and paste a the line in each section and then change the ship class, for M0 from what i remember is hugeship, as for the xtm M7 I think they are classed as m2, well thats from what i remember, M0 option is for definate you may have to play about a bit for the M7's but hey theres only so many classes, lol

I have been running them together and it appearsto work.
BTW...I made the changes to the setup file but I have a problem still. I have to go into scripts and run the setup file every time I load the game for it to take effect. I'm pretty sureits NOT suppose to work that way but have no idea how to fix it.

did you copy the line in each section and paste it in the same section, there are quite a few sections you need to do it for each one, ive used this method and got it to successfully work for M0/M2/M7, I think it was the original creator that told me how to do it, lol it should be in this topic somewhere closer to the start.

here you go, lol i just screened through the topic to find itSerial Kicked wrote:Sorry, but no plan to do it. Adding the commands yourself isn't that hard, just give a look at the setup.anarkis.carrier file, and in the lines that looks like:Any chance of adding M2's to the next upgrade? With the new ships being created, and the new mods, having this functionality would be much appreciated.
Change "Battle Ship M1" by "Huge Ship". Save & reload your game, enjoy.Code: Select all
global script map: set: key=xxx, class=Battle Ship M1, race=null, script=...
Anyway I will write soon a AFC script (anarkis fleet commands) for M2 ships, making this discussion a bit pointless

does anyone know how i get this to work? i see the commands clear sector and dock all ships and i assigned them hotkeys but i dont get any of the other commands and nothing happens when i press the clear sector key even though i have 4 fighters docked at my m2 which is their homebase. is there a specail thing i have to do to tell the script to work on my big ship?
Ok, I'm loving this extension but theres one last thing I'd like and I'm hoping someone can tell me how to add it (and one irritation I'd like to get rid of).
I would love it if the automated carriers would purchase lost ships. So, if a ship goes down in combat the carrier would purchase another just like the one it lost.
Also, I keep getting messages everytime my ships go into combat saying there are not enough ships to perform this action. How do I turn that off completely?

Some things seem a bit wonky and I'm not sure if its my end or the script.
It seems to be a really great script but, using my elephant with it, when I order a sector sweep it won't use my m5's only my m3's (I'm in system).
When I try to use the homebase command, nothing happens, no menu, just clicks.
Sometimes ships seem confused as to what state they want to be in. When I was using my M5's and tried to get them to dock, using the dock all ships, they approached the ship and then suddenly would go back to attack all enemies, issuing the command again resulted in the same behavior.
Its such a great idea and looks so well done I really want to get this to work. I'm using version 1.41
Edit: I should post more often, now it seems to be working fine, the homebase settings that is.

I read that earlier in the thread (about the 5 ships), but the script seems to work great with my TL and only 2 fighters docked. It would be nice to be able to launch my M4 from the Hyp and call them back easily. While it's for the carriers, the script would work well in many situations.
UPDATE:
After a TON of trial and error, I was able to get it working Thanks for the reply. My main problem was the M7 class needed to be called as an M2. If anyone wants a copy let me know.

On another thread someone asked what class of ship can do one/multi sector patrol and was answered correctly m6 and above. But, and I'm sorry if anyone mentioned this already, I think that in v1.41 of this beautiful script came a file called setup.zaddons.patrols.xml witch adds patrol commands to m3, m4 and m5 with FCS MkII. If anyone can confirm that it true, maybe that is the difference between 1.40 and 1.41?
OK, I seem to have run into, well, into a MAJOR problem.
I have deployed fighters. They fought, they won. Now all but three have returned to the carrier. The three that are there are stuck with no orders - they won't follow any orders I send to them, and even when I try transporting into them, the autopilot will not turn off. Only difference was that it set them to 'idle' rather than 'none' - and they went jetting off in random directions at about 75m/s (these things are xenon LXs, all tuned to ~150m/s normally)
I had to call my personal fighter over and jump out of them!
Never seen this before running this script.
I'm on fully updated x3, running the LV cheat scripts, bonus pack and this

Great script here. Just a couple of suggestions that would make it fantastic.
Turret commands currently only effect the first turret. I use M3+ fighters like the eclipse alot which have 2 turrets.
Would be a good idea to check for number of turrets then using a while loop to scan through them
eg
This will catch all turrets on any docked ship so they all do something while in combat
Also I feel that the equip ship command works better if you specifiy the amount of ware each fighter should have on board rather than amount to add.
eg I have 30 Novas with 2 mass drivers each. I want to make sure that before their next combat mission they all have 20 mass driver ammos and 20 mosquito units as standard. This gives the fleet a more organised approach to re arming.
I've had a play and it works quite nicely that way with a little extra code.
I've also added an argument to ask what class of ship to upgrade. I only want my M4 and M3s to have ammo not my M5s etc.
All in all a brilliant job though. It's become one of my most used addons while organising my fleet movements.
Edit...
Another handy addition that I put in is to have the option screens popping up without having to exit out of the whole command screen then going into player messages.
I've done this by adding
to the t file then in
pops the message direct to the front

eg
Code: Select all
while $nb
dec $nb
$ship = $shiparray[$nb]
$turret.count = $ship -> get number of turrets
if $turretorder == 0
while $turret.count
$ship -> start task 1 with script '!turret.missiledefense.std' and prio 0: arg1=$turret.count arg2=null arg3=null arg4=null arg5=null
dec $turret.count
end
else if and so on and so forth
