scripting help x3ap

Sorry, busy week. So only some small changes for now:

- The position of your current ship is now written to logfiles 249 and 250 directly at the beginning, next to the sector name.

- At the end of logfile 250 flying ware containers (i.e. containers in space with a ware inside) are listed, sorted by distance to your ship. The list includes the following information:
• name of the ware in the ware container
• Amount of the ware
• Volume
• Transport class
• Whether you can transport the ware with your ship, and if so how many units you could carry at a max.
• Distance to the ware container, including coordinates.

(The list, including the headline "Container in space", is only logged, if there are actually containers in the current sector. You can test this by throwing something out of your ship's cargo room.)

Alternative Download: Click here (Not a direct link though, the actual download link is below the "Thanks for visiting XDownloads, here is your file:" line.)

For Installation: extract to your addon\scripts folder. This will overwrite the existing files (whereby only one was changed this time).

Again, please tell me if this works for you or whether there need to be any changes.

Please note: I'm away from tomorrow for a week (Saturday, 16th March, to Saturday, 23th March). I'll look into adding the other things, when I'm back.

hey thanks. i'll test these tomorrow. i'm going to go to bed in a minute or 2. so i don't really want to launch now otherwise i'll lose track of time and oops it's daytime!!!!! so yes i'll test tomorrow and write back.

[Gandalf The White]

hi there.

just to let you know that i have briefly tested the scripts and they seem to be working fine. thank you again.

[Gandalf The White]

hi,

thanks again for those additions they work really well.

i was thinking, providing the ship in question has the right equipment could we get ship scan information as well? ships that we decide to scan? also our own ship report as well considering that if we take damage we don't know the extent of it. so it would be useful to have that info.

[Gandalf The White]

hi,

i was just thinking, the command that shows you the message that shows ships coming to your factory to buy/sell could this be generated into a text file somehow?

[X2-Illuminatus]

I finally found some time to make some changes again:

- If you have a Freight Scanner installed, and a ship targeted, pressing the hotkey will write a ship log to logfile 150 containing the following data:

1. Some generic data: Relation (omitted if it's your ship), ship name, sector name, position in coordinates, distance to your current ship.
2. The wares (and their amount) that are installed on the ship, divided into weapons (listed by front and turret weapons), shields and softwares. If none of either category are installed, the log will say so.
3. The wares that are not installed on the ship (i.e. which are located in the cargo room), only if wares are present in the cargo room. The log will contain the ware, its amount, volume, transport class, whether the ware is illegal in the space of the current sector owner, and for missiles and weapons whether the target ship can install (i.e. use) them.

The ship log is called for your current ship, if you have no target selected.
Currently not logged are Marines and other personnel.

- If you have a Trading Computer Extension installed, and a factory targeted, pressing the hotkey will write production information about that station to logfile 150 containing the following data:

1. Some generic data: Relation, factory name (contains sector name), position in coordinates, distance to your current ship
2. The product(s) sold by the station, including the current amount and maximum amount, the product name, the current price, the min and max price, the volume and the transport class of the ware, and whether the ware is illegal in the space of the current sector owner, only if it is really so.
3. The resource(s) (divided into primary and secondary) bought by the station, including the current amount and maximum amount, the product name, the current price, the min and max price, the volume and the transport class of the ware, and whether the ware is illegal in the space of the current sector owner, only if it is really so. If the station has no resources of either type, the log will say so.
4. The production cycle information, including how many units of which product(s) are produced in what time as well as which and how many wares are required for one cycle.
5. The remaining time for the current production cycle.
6. Whether the station has enough resources to start the next production cycle. If it has enough resoures to start more than one, the log will tell you how many cycles it can run with the current amount of resources. If it doesn't have enough resources, it tells you which ware(s) and how many units of them are missing.

The current production log will not work very good with player complexes consisting of lots of different production chains. But for single NPC stations and NPC production complexes, as well as single player stations or complexes just containing one production chain, it should work fine. I'll see about changing that in the next version.

- I also fixed / changed a couple of minor things:

• The ware order for factories was incorrect (i.e. wares weren't logged in the correct order).
• I replaced the long version of the transport class with the short version (e.g. "Extra Large Container" turns into "XL").
• For ware containers floating in space, it is now also logged whether the ware is illegal in the space of the current sector owner.

As usual, please tell me if this works for you or whether there need to be any changes.

----------------------------

As for your other requests: I don't think there's an easy way to get the incoming ship list of a station via script. I'll have to check whether there's an easy workaround. As for the destroyed ship equipment, I will add something to the ship log script, so it remembers what you had installed last time, when you ran that log.
