Advanced Information, Tips & Tricks
- When called, the script accesses existing information that already exists in the game through the scripts of the MK3 trading software, reads this information and inserts it in a menu. An update of the information is always based on the traders who are active when the script is called up, even when switching between various submenus. If the menu is closed, all associated scripts of the command menu are closed and nothing remains active in the background. Informations does not stored permanently that would not have a negative effect on the size of the savegames in the long run.
- The Trader action usually consists of a "command" in connection with a product to be bought or sold "wantedware", depending on the "command" the information output has already been pre-formatted. However, should there be other types displayed as ["Command"] + "Goods / station etc." come, give me a feedback that I can adjust the information output accordingly.
- Menu is developed in game resolution of XXXX x 1050 pixels. At lower vertical resolutions, as well as in TC, the report view becomes a "Scrollbar". Changing the graphics resolution can help with occurring errors.
- The command is designed for the "MK3 Optimization Reloaded Software". When using the Vanilla MK3 trading software, maybe different and even incorrect information is displayed.
- I am very happy about any feedback to my scripcode but also generally for further development of the script, such as wishes, tips and comments, which helps me to remove errors and to improve the script further to makes it more user friendly.
- In order of a better differentiation by the employed traders, it is advisable to name them differently!
- If you don't like my coloring in the menu, you can edit the file "7006-L049.xml" in folder "t" and design the menu in a different colorway yourself. Everyone has a different taste
The only important thing is that the coding "UTF-8" should not be changed that will couse the "T-file" is not readable for the game. A backup copy is recommended to avoid possible trouble.
