The LTs do not allign with the gates when I select a gate, it still ask for the 4th argument and it reacts as normal.

The Stealth LTs do not work for me, they blow up when deployed and never come back when enemies are present...

help?

(I did DL from the temp source)

Hi

Have just stated to use your script Gazz but have run into a problem.

As soon as the stealthed LT's are deployed the Argon and Teladi are automatically set to Foe - (and blows up the leviathon they were meant to be protecting)

Any idea how I can get them to be automatically deployed showing friendly to All races bar Xenon and Khaak ?

Could some kind soul tell me exactly how to decloack all my LT's? I deployed some which i now want rid of.

* Config option: set decloak : Disable cloaking for ALL of your S.L.T. until told otherwise.

Maybe - not sure if it works for existing LTs as I've never bothered cloaking mine.

To cloak your lasertowers that were deployed with the microchips use the following commands.

Select the deploy ring of fire command (just like deploying a LT ring).

1. select location of a deployed ring of LTs (I think you can select any location but i have not checked that.

2. (type in) set cloak

3. any radius.

4. any direction.

The towers will now slowly cloak. To decloak them do the exact same thing as above except replace the set cloak with set decloak. Using this command will not deploy another LT ring, this goes for all the set commands that you use in command number 2, but im not sure if it goes for the set command in command 3, especially if you used a number in command 2.

One thing I did notice is that when you cloak or decloak them you do that to all the LTs you deployed in all sectors that were deployed with the microchips. Also when you cloak them they appear to take the friend/foe settings of the ship you are currently in. Then when you decloak them they return to the settings that you either manually set them to or the settings when they were initially deployed (or they may change back to your global friend foe settings). The setting for "show enemy if enemy to me" will revert back to yes once you cloak them so manually changing that does nothing.

Where can I find this Globals.txt? I would love to be able to change my radar as I find it highly unrealistic that futuristic radar systems have a shorter range than real life radar systems. Also awesome mod but the ring won't snap to gates. It asks for the 4th parameter even though I select a gate as the target.

its inside the cat files, but as to an explanation on the "radar"...its not "radar" its "gravidar" (gravimetric sensor)

Plushified_Naruto · Post by **Plushified_Naruto** » Wed, 26. Dec 07, 08:12

But radar still works in space and what program do I open the .cat files with?

Yeah I can't find Doubleshadow's mod manager for the life of me. It's referenced all over the place but still eludes me. Help would be much appreciated.

Its in the tools section of this sticky:

Awesome. Thanks. So back to the topic at hand. I can't get the LTs to align to the gates even on a new game.

Version 2.25 released.

LT should no longer be destroyed for no apparent reason when cloaked.

Optimised script to use less CPU time.
(This was like my first script so some parts are kinda... rustic. =)

I am not sure if this is a bug, but I setup 36 laser towers around the west gate of Avarice and the laser towers were named east towers and they were offset back from the gate the wrong direction. Essentially the laser towers are guarding the wrong side of the gate. Bug?

Gazz · Post by **Gazz** » Wed, 30. Apr 08, 07:35

Hmm, sounds like it. Maybe the gates in Avarice don't use the standard numbering so west would normally be east.

Never tested that particular sector because it's basically an ugly and useless one. =P
