Thanks for reading my topic.
There is a request,I'm using Smart Turrets instead of MARS.I want to setting turret mode in ADS,it should be in anarkis.acc.setup.ships.xml at line 76-77,but I don't know how to change MARS variable to Smart turrets.Please help me.

You have to modify at least two scripts actually, first in anarkis.acc.setup.ships.xml, add something like this after the check for MARS (should be after line 84 which contain 'end' :

Code: Select all

$smart.check = get global variable: name='Glen.Smart.Turret'
if is datatype[$smart.check] == [DATATYPE_ARRAY]
$st = sprintf: pageid=$page.id textid=261, null, null, null, null, null
add custom menu item to array $menu: text=$st returnvalue=261
$st = sprintf: pageid=$page.id textid=262, null, null, null, null, null
add custom menu item to array $menu: text=$st returnvalue=262
end

then in anarkis.acc.apply.settings, add this between line 46 and 47 :

Code: Select all

else if $v1 == 261
$turret.script = 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.offense'
else if $v1 == 262
$turret.script = 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.defense'

And finally add this to the 8510-L0XX (XX depending of your language settings) t files :

Code: Select all

<t id="261">\033GSmart:\033X Offense</t>
		<t id="262">\033GSmart:\033X Defense</t>

You can add the others smart commands if needed, you will have to find the correct script to launch. If you don't want to edit the t file you can also use the sprint: fmt='text you want' command instead of sprintf: pageid=

Sorry,I didn't make things clear.
I also installed Nicoman35's Real Wings Edition.
I followed your instruction,there are only three options to choose,smart turret option not included.

Edit:I think I need to change anarkis.acc.apply.settings.xml,they are not the same file between origin ADS and Real Wings Edition.

Hum, the line numbers have probably changed and the returns value may be already used. I will give it a look when at home.

I have done it!Understand this script and do some replacement with your code
anarkis.acc.apply.settings.xml

Code: Select all

if $turret.script == 0
while $turret.count > 1
dec $turret.count
skip if $ship-> is script 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.offense' on stack of task=$turret.count
$ship-> launch named script: task=$turret.count scriptname='glen.turret.smart.cmd.offense' prio=0, $turret.count, null, null, null, null
end

else if $turret.script == 1
while $turret.count > 1
dec $turret.count
skip if $ship-> is script 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.attack.target' on stack of task=$turret.count
$ship-> launch named script: task=$turret.count scriptname='glen.turret.smart.cmd.attack.target' prio=0, $turret.count, null, null, null, null
end

else if $turret.script == 2
while $turret.count > 1
dec $turret.count
skip if $ship-> is script 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.defense' on stack of task=$turret.count
$ship-> launch named script: task=$turret.count scriptname='glen.turret.smart.cmd.defense' prio=0, $turret.count, null, null, null, null
end

else if $turret.script == 3
while $turret.count > 1
dec $turret.count
skip if $ship-> is script 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.capture' on stack of task=$turret.count
$ship-> launch named script: task=$turret.count scriptname='glen.turret.smart.cmd.capture' prio=0, $turret.count, null, null, null, null
end

else if $turret.script == 4
while $turret.count > 1
dec $turret.count
skip if $ship-> is script 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.custom' on stack of task=$turret.count
$ship-> launch named script: task=$turret.count scriptname='glen.turret.smart.cmd.custom' prio=0, $turret.count, null, null, null, null

* Debug
if $DEBUG == 1
$txt = $info + $ship + ' turret number: ' + $turret.count + ' is set to Smart Turrets.'
write to log file 8510 append=[TRUE] value=$txt
end
end
else
while $turret.count > 1
dec $turret.count
skip if $ship-> is script 'glen.turret.smart.cmd.offense' on stack of task=$turret.count
$ship-> launch named script: task=$turret.count scriptname='glen.turret.smart.cmd.offense' prio=0, $turret.count, null, null, null, null
end
end

anarkis.acc.setup.ships line 76

Code: Select all

$mars.check = get global variable: name='Glen.Smart.Turret'

t file 8510

Code: Select all

 <t id="245">\033GSmart:\033X Offense</t>
 <t id="246">\033GSmart:\033X Attack My Target</t>
 <t id="247">\033GSmart:\033X Defense</t>
 <t id="248">\033GSmart:\033X Capture</t>
 <t id="249">\033GSmart:\033X Custom</t>

Works fine now!Thank you.

Well done, I'd wondered about this myself a few months ago but never got around to looking at it.

You should let Nicoman35 know on http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 6&start=75 so he can incorporate your changes in his next version.
