[Script] DisCo - Disable Collisions (Complex Performance) [V 1.00]

Post by -Dusty- » Sat, 15. Mar 08, 18:43

ReadMe wrote: [ external image ] Description:
This small Script disables collisions for player-owned complexes. This can increase game performance greatly in the affected sectors. Framerate can increase up to 800%.


[ external image ] Requirements:
X3 - Reunion Version 2.5
Active ScriptEditor


[ external image ] Installation:
Copy all files located in "scripts" folder into the "scripts"-folder in your X3-Directory. Same with all t-files - copy them from "t" to "t".

Alternatively, use Cycrow's Plugin Manager, and double-click on "Plugin.Dy.DisCo.spk".

You have to enable the ScriptEditor. Change the player's name to "Thereshallbewings" (without " ). The name will be resetted to your old setting. Now save your game and reload.
Note: Activating the Script Editor will create a ***modified*** in your game statistics!

When installed, go to options/controls/interface. Scroll down to "Extensions" and set a hotkey for "DisCo: disable/enable Collisions".


[ external image ] Uninstall:
Open the ScriptEditor, scroll down, select the file "uninstall.plugin.dy.disco", press "r", and press enter twice.


[ external image ] Use:
Select the complex hub as your target. Now press the DisCo-Hotkey. The collisions for the selected complex will no be disabled and you'll get a message. Pressing the hotkey again enables the collisions.
Collisions for all stations connected to the hub will automatically be enabled or disabled, excepting the complex tubes.
DisCo does only work with complexes, but not with single stations!

Sorry, but what exactly does this do? Make 'm clippable, or move the stations around?!

It simply disables collisions for the stations - that means, you can shoot and even fly through the stations.
But the point is, the CPU doesn't have to calculate if they collide with something else anymore. This can increase performance in sectors with big complexes. That's all :)

can they still be targetted ?


if yes: what about OOS attacks by pirates ?

i got it very often that pirates attack stations inside a complex, mostly in akeela's beacon

They can be targeted, and you can still dock at those stations.

I'm not sure about the OOS attacks, but I guess they can still be damaged, because OOS there are no collisions anyway.

Interesting discovery, -Dusty-!

This should come in quite useful, especially for the German guys competing for the biggest complex. :)

@-Dusty-: Were you needing saves for testing? Do you still need them?

No, I've already got two, but thanks :)


... but I need an idea: Does anybody know if - and how - complex tubes can be saved into a variable? I've already tried to get them via checking the SectorObjects, but they didn't appear...

Hrmpf. Again the same problem with the Script Installer...


I have updated the package. Please download it again, now the Script Installer file should work too.

Is there any way to disable all collisions in X3R?

It would be great to get around certain problems, esp. in the Main Plot.

For example, could this script be tweaked to accept PlayerShip as the target?
