I'm very similar problem to Quixotic using the XRM Mod (which incorporates SRM and CMOD4) in that wares can only reliably be transferred to/from ships spawned by this script when both ships have that ware, otherwise they're often not listed in the ship transfer screen. I also have a related problem in that player inventory (police licences, salvage insurance) vanishes when I switch to an ASS-spawned ship.

So it looks like it's currently not compatible and I've disabled it, if anyone else wants to try this with XRM then proceed with caution and test the first abandoned ship you find to see if it all works.

I must admit, spawning random dead ship seems a little odd when all hell is breaking loose in the war sectors and with a bit of convincing, Im sure many of the cations/pilots could be persuaded to dumpo their ship complete with gear ;)

Compatability problems ?

Post by corbinbird » Wed, 11. Jan 12, 19:41

If the MOD modifies or changes the index numbers in the TShips or TWares files, it will break things.

The scripts are linked to the vanilla index numbers in those files. I know of no way to have an auto adjustment in the scripts. ( I.E. a manual recode for every MOD. ) :(

Good to here from you though ...

Thanks to this mod I am now the proud owner of a Goner Ozias :D

I am having the problem with freight exchange though, where items don't appear in the list of freight that can be swapped, but I don't want to disable it because it is a fun mod. I hop there is a fix sometime for this, otherwise great :)

Howdy,

I'm still a complete noob when it comes to mods/scripts so bear with me.

Does this work in X3TC 3.2 well enough? I can see in the op that TC was at v2.7 the last time the mod was updated...

How about AP with it's Khaak abandoned ship randomisation features. Will it do anything in my AP game?

Thanks

Sorry for resurrecting the old topic, but I believe I found the problem with the freight exchange. Hint: Cargo Bay Extension.

I will fiddle with the script for a bit, then I'll let you know if this can be fixed.

Thanks,

At this point, it would take me awhile to set this up again.

Because people are still playing Terran Conflict, and using this (like myself).

Anyways, good thing is: the script is fine.

The culprit however seems to be Ware Manager by Cycrow... I've disabled it and haven't had the freight transfer problem anymore, but this rendered Salvage Claim Software unusable as it requires Ware manager to work. Mystery solved though.

same as CoreCapator...

also, I am playing Xtended, which is only for TC. But be aware, that through changes on the wares inside XTC, you have to edit the *.random.* xmls files, and correct there your ship objects.

The download link appears to be broken, is there any chance of getting a fixed one?

Hi I have successfully (I think) installed this script and have been finding lots of abandoned ships, however I am unable to claim any of them even the m3 enhanced kea I found. When I right click on the ship during spacewalk I don't get the "claim ship" option and if I try to use a boarding party it just says "command rejected".

It should be a left click, which opens the info options menu, but I guess you meant that. Have you made sure that these ships have no pilot and that you're close enough to them, usually below 30 m?

Hi there, I also seem to have the problem of finding what I can only imagine are abandoned ships without any left click options. To be clear, I have ejected from my ship and traversed all sides of the abandoned ship looking for somewhere to click, well within 30 m.

Thanks!

Just tested this myself, and it works just fine. I cannot see a problem in the script code either.

Are you able to take over other ships, i.e. the ones not placed by the script and bailed ones? Do the ships you cannot overtake by any chance have pilots? What other scripts and mods do you have installed?

Thanks for getting back to me. I think it must have been attributable to new-user experience - I was trying to claim a TP without having the claim software. Although with the exception of that ship, I haven't seen any other spawned ships in the half the galaxy I've explored. I only have Abandoned Ship Spawner, Plugin Manager, and the Satellite Early Warning Network mods installed. Thanks!
