Not sure what you are looking to do here Garry but perhaps I missed the point somewhere.

This script is for ships, carriers specifically, so I can't see where the HQ comes into it.

Maybe you could expand.

yes it was designed for ships but while altering the code for it to allow use on M0/M7 I found there were definitions for different stations, ie shipyard, small ship yard and so on, i was just wondering what the HQ is classed as so I can play about with code to make it work on the HQ, obviously the HQ doesn't have the general menu to change the different options of the carrier commands but this can easily be done through the script editor,

so far i have got the script that sets the carrier as home and rename the ships to work.

I see what your doing now.

Sounds like a good idea to me as well I might add.

Sorry I can't help with your question but perhaps somebody else can.

Hope you get it to work.

Ships dont even have a General menu. How would it work?

the phq is classed as a dock....you can also class it as a station owned by player of type headquarters

useing the get array command that would be something like

allphqs = get array of station owned by race: player of class/type: headquarters

not sure on my syntax, but thats what i use with IFTSOS to get all the player headquarters (there is also one that works with ships)

Hi,

I REALLY like this script but unfortunately I have a fleet of small ships that don't use this because there aren't M1's. So, I could use a bit of help.
Does anyone know (or can provide detailed descriptions on how I can) how to enable this for the XTM mod?

The ships I'm thinking of specifically are the following:
All the M0's
Argon Griffin
Argon Cerberus
Split Panther

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated.

garrry34 · Post by **garrry34** » Wed, 30. Jan 08, 21:41

that can be done in the setup up script, copy and paste a the line in each section and then change the ship class, for M0 from what i remember is hugeship, as for the xtm M7 I think they are classed as m2, well thats from what i remember, M0 option is for definate you may have to play about a bit for the M7's but hey theres only so many classes, lol

lordmoore · Post by **lordmoore** » Wed, 30. Jan 08, 21:56

I'll give it a try...thanks!

Could I use any editor or does it HAVE to be done in X3?

garrry34 · Post by **garrry34** » Wed, 30. Jan 08, 22:22

I believe you can use any editor but i just use the one in game. I not a big scripter i only know little things someone else might know more about other options of editing.

question, can this run with fight command mkIII?

lordmoore · Post by **lordmoore** » Sun, 3. Feb 08, 22:31

I have been running them together and it appearsto work.

BTW...I made the changes to the setup file but I have a problem still. I have to go into scripts and run the setup file every time I load the game for it to take effect. I'm pretty sureits NOT suppose to work that way but have no idea how to fix it.

garrry34 · Post by **garrry34** » Wed, 6. Feb 08, 16:51

did you copy the line in each section and paste it in the same section, there are quite a few sections you need to do it for each one, ive used this method and got it to successfully work for M0/M2/M7, I think it was the original creator that told me how to do it, lol it should be in this topic somewhere closer to the start.

I have a custom M2 with 12 docking slots and i set the fighters on it to have the ship be their homebase but i dont see any special commands like form attack wing or supply all ships.

Any chance of adding M2's to the next upgrade? With the new ships being created, and the new mods, having this functionality would be much appreciated.
Sorry, but no plan to do it. Adding the commands yourself isn't that hard, just give a look at the setup.anarkis.carrier file, and in the lines that looks like:
Code: Select all
global script map: set: key=xxx, class=Battle Ship M1, race=null, script=...
Change "Battle Ship M1" by "Huge Ship". Save & reload your game, enjoy.

Anyway I will write soon a AFC script (anarkis fleet commands) for M2 ships, making this discussion a bit pointless

here you go, lol i just screened through the topic to find it

DrwHem · Post by **DrwHem** » Thu, 7. Feb 08, 04:33

does anyone know how i get this to work? i see the commands clear sector and dock all ships and i assigned them hotkeys but i dont get any of the other commands and nothing happens when i press the clear sector key even though i have 4 fighters docked at my m2 which is their homebase. is there a specail thing i have to do to tell the script to work on my big ship?

lordmoore · Post by **lordmoore** » Sun, 10. Feb 08, 22:06

Ok, I'm loving this extension but theres one last thing I'd like and I'm hoping someone can tell me how to add it (and one irritation I'd like to get rid of).

I would love it if the automated carriers would purchase lost ships. So, if a ship goes down in combat the carrier would purchase another just like the one it lost.

Also, I keep getting messages everytime my ships go into combat saying there are not enough ships to perform this action. How do I turn that off completely?

garrry34 · Post by **garrry34** » Tue, 12. Feb 08, 18:46

the script requires at least 5 fighters you should have recieved a message each time carrier went to launch fighters.

Some things seem a bit wonky and I'm not sure if its my end or the script.

It seems to be a really great script but, using my elephant with it, when I order a sector sweep it won't use my m5's only my m3's (I'm in system).

When I try to use the homebase command, nothing happens, no menu, just clicks.

Sometimes ships seem confused as to what state they want to be in. When I was using my M5's and tried to get them to dock, using the dock all ships, they approached the ship and then suddenly would go back to attack all enemies, issuing the command again resulted in the same behavior.

Its such a great idea and looks so well done I really want to get this to work. I'm using version 1.41

Edit: I should post more often, now it seems to be working fine, the homebase settings that is.

Can anyone help me get this working for the M7 class? I found the setup script and tried to add the m7, but I don't think I did it correctly. I've not done any script edting thus far.

TIA

Lethal Mitch · Post by **Lethal Mitch** » Tue, 8. Apr 08, 01:16

I could be wrong here but the M7 only takes 2 fighters IIRC. The script needs a minimum of 5 fighters to work.

Really for carriers which the M7 isn't.

Hope that helps.
