I assigned a titurel to one earlier during test of a new mod and it sat there with commander 'cv' command 'none'. Doh. So, hopefully a trader can be assigned to cater for that CV's needs only until you have built what you want

Architects controlling one or multiple trade ships to get wares for construction has never really worked when I've used it. My personal experience since release is that the pilot and architect don't play nice. Pilot would seek mining or trades when they weren't locked in place. You could even toss mining drones on a station in the right zone and it would mine

Really sorry guys, but I'm not 100% on the method to auto update ai on running scripts, so I will need to ask you to restart your traders and miners. This is not ideal but I'd rather ask this than do something incorrect and screw up your saves. Thanks for your understanding

That's ok, I only got 3 miners and 3 auto traders at the moment, so won't be too much of a problem, rather do it this way than to lose my little empire totally..
<Heads off to get update>

With this latest update i'm unable to configure any of my traders/miners, they just give me a blank window.
not sure if theres any more info i can give to help diagnose the issue, not that its super important.

Working fine my end. It might be worth deleting the extensions directory and redownloading in case of a file corruption.

Hmm, turns out then entire mod was dead, just gave the appearance of life, lost one of my 2 titurels cause it thouht sitting still in an enemy sector was smart

I removed the mod and loaded up my game again, saved, then reinstalled the mod which appears to have fixed it all

thx

no worries, glad you are up and running.

-sigh- seems i spoke too soon, miners seem to be working ok, but the UI options for removing and editing traders/miners is blank, strangely enough its happy enough to accept new miners/trades. however the traders float around 'searching for trades', even with funds allocated to them via the captain.

i've been looking through all the mods ive added, but i dont see anything that looks like it'd affect anything your mod needs to do, plus it was working perfectly over the past couple of days.

I guess the only thing left to try it to see about using them in a new game, it could just be that something else beyond the drone spam (reason enough to restart atm) has broken >_<

I've tested the mod with MCE and it seems fine. However aside from it's 4 custom ai files it uses vanilla for the rest. If you have other mods touching findfreetraderuns and so forth it might well break mine.

i used to have other mods that affected such things, but i made sure to disable them as i half expected conflicts.

though i believe its a moot point now as it really is all working fine now on a new save

thanks for your help sir ^_^

I'm back with another issue :3 i've got a Rahanas (container) running around trading or me, but his last 3 entries (10 mins apart from each other) have been 'sold 120 units of null to null for 0Cr'.

i'm not sure if i should be worried, or if he'll just fix himself later?

YorrickVander · Post by **YorrickVander** » Thu, 17. Jul 14, 01:22

I'll keep an eye out for that, but haven't seen it before.

I saw that once, but have not seen it since, so never bothered reporting it

YorrickVander · Post by **YorrickVander** » Thu, 17. Jul 14, 09:04

Cheers for confirmation.

EDIT : Can I take it you both saw this with current version?

I think it was

Another thing I just noticed, all three of my auto traders were never giving me any credits, when I checked their accounts they all had under 2 million credits, now I am sure I gave them each 10 million to start with, but anyway, I just gave them another 10 million each, and will monitor what happens this time.

Running a couple in a game here too, see what i can see. No profits is bad. Rather defeats the object

exelsiar · Post by **exelsiar** » Thu, 17. Jul 14, 12:59

yes it's the latest version, but i do get profits. well sometimes they make a negative, but from what ive seen thats only from selling at my own CV ships, and i'd imagine the same for selling at my stations.. if i had any.

YorrickVander · Post by **YorrickVander** » Thu, 17. Jul 14, 13:12

@NZ did you reassign 10 mill after update and restarting the scripts? stopping the trader empties it's wallet back to yours...

@exel - yeah losses are possible. That's connected to the ware reservations issue. If the planned trip fails on sale, the trader will then sell to next highest bidder. As in vanilla thats mostly used by npcs who don't pay, it's not gonna be a priority for ES. I need to implement a system that works like manual trade perhaps as I haven't yet failed a sale that way unless the trade missions bug.

I believe that could be what happened with mine as 20 mins after my last post the trader had moved onto another system and sold some of the stock he had on him.

Fix in testing for miners selling to null null for 0cr. If any errors seen with traders like this or specifically trade or miner having problems with player built stations please let me know (ty for heads up on that BlackRain).
