hence the comment "#unzip .gz file with 7-zip or gunzip first or use uncompressed saves" in the script. I'm going to make a version that deals with compressed saves and more in a bit here.

Thank you so much, seems to work just fine. now here are my findings:silentradios wrote: ↑Sun, 27. Mar 22, 14:43That would be a compressed saveGenoscythe wrote: ↑Sun, 27. Mar 22, 13:43+ $Xml.Load("C:\Users\MYUSER\Documents\Egosoft\X4\NUMBERS\save\autosave_02.xml.gz")
Edit: just did, see two posts down -- give it a whirl and let me know if it works for someone that isn't me
OMG, THANK YOU!Genoscythe wrote: ↑Sun, 27. Mar 22, 15:18HOWEVER, there are no vaults in Avarice V, instead they were located on these positions in avarice IV? I think the macro you used to map the sectors mixed something up. I have marked beacons as player owned in the save file (RIP unmodified game, will just play on earlier save), see the image.

Hrm, I hadn't actually gone after the vault in V/IV in my save because it was just the engine blueprint -- just did and you all are right (and reddit was wrong lol). It wasn't the macros just the friendly name mapping but anyway I've updated both the original and the new script to reflect the correct mapping. I'd like to know the real source for sector id to friendly name mapping...mr.WHO wrote: ↑Sun, 27. Mar 22, 16:16OMG, THANK YOU!Genoscythe wrote: ↑Sun, 27.

I've been satelite griding the Avarice V, like an idiot for last 2 hours, while in fact my last remaining vault was in Avarice IV.
Once you have the blueprints you take the Erlking to either a XL Ship Building module or XL Maintenance module at a station you own. The blueprint for these modules cannot be hacked and must be purchased from a faction representative at a high cost.dreamer2008 wrote: ↑Thu, 31. Mar 22, 08:08How do I install the blueprints once I got them? I can't see them at any shipyard.
Ah, so I need my own Building Module. Okay, thank you. And that ping update would be immensely helpful to easier find the data vaults, its very hard right now.Imperial Good wrote: ↑Thu, 31. Mar 22, 08:12This should be improved in 5.10 hopefully with the vaults pinging with long range scans I think.

You have to find 5 data vaults within Windfall and Avarice. For me they were all 'easiely' found with in the original bounderies of those sectors (through satelite coverage).
Hello if you want so much realism, why do you play a Sifi game?Sandtrooper wrote: ↑Sun, 3. Apr 22, 17:33Curious -
With those afterthought Erlking turret blue prints in data vaults as an example:
How exactly does a hot fix actually update your save file? The save is loaded AFTER the hotfix is installed so, how can omissions such as those two offending data vaults magically appear AFTER loading a saved game? The additional sectors were 'mapped' into fixed locations within the game but yet the data vaults...
Incidentally, a purple ring or ping sound is NOT how to locate things reliably - good old Egotrauma as per usual. Select your #3 mode for LRS and fire it off as usual but then go to map/personal record (bottom of the list on left side) and look there. If within range, they'll appear there. It's strange how anomalies and data vaults remain as 'unknown contacts' long AFTER learning what they are by discovering, scanning and even opening vaults or travelling through the anomalies. It'd be nice if we could rename the nav beacons and so, indicate an anomaly to where it leads.
Side notes -
Contradiction: Why do we have sound effects in space? It's a vacuum where sound waves cannot be conducted.
DEvolution of technology: Ship speeds are 'metres per second' yet 20th century aircraft (including many turboprops) in Earth's atmosphere travel faster.
Similarly, workbench modifications to reduce 'drag' on SPACE ships travelling in the vacuum of space...?
Accepted: Thrusters can offset inertia to give similar characteristics to atmospheric flight so, that one is excusable.
You can't rightclick on them to rename.Sandtrooper wrote: ↑Sun, 3. Apr 22, 17:33It'd be nice if we could rename the nav beacons and so, indicate an anomaly to where it leads.
Because the game is primarily about having fun, not everyone would enjoy silence, even if it was more realistic. I could ask back : Why do we have music in any game? Is there always someone with a radio right behind us, playing music and changing the radio channels in order to match our current situation and location? I'm just kidding, of course.Why do we have sound effects in space? It's a vacuum where sound waves cannot be conducted.
