right i see. what about that trade extention script can that be put up yet?

so the state of play with my save as it stands. my cargo bay is fully extended now so too is rudder and engine optimisation. i really should sort the shields out on this thing and sort out a weapon for the rear turrit and the relevant software installed so it can defend itself. especially if i want it to become a remote trader. anything to keep the econamy interesting.

zac is developing scripts to help with the accessibility. it's (slowly) getting there.

Please note the hotkey in this script only works with Albion Prelude.

Hi ALl,

It's taken longer than I'd like, but here is version 0.2 of my scripts. CHanges are below…

• The trade script now displays your remaining cargo space, and stocks of station wares. Note that it's possible for stocks to read a bit strangely for some items.

• The "moving map," script updates a list of objects every time you move into a new sector. See log file 250. Note that at the moment this only handles stationary objects, stations, asteroids and gates.

• There is a new hotkey to allow you to use the trade script on any station you can target in your current sector. NOte that this needs to be bound individually, which is a subject i need to write a guide for later.

As always, I'm happy to try and answer any questions or provide as much help as I can.

Daren,

Yeah, it's in the Dropbox folder.

I can try to find a way to make this work with both games, I'll have to do some digging and get back to the forum with a new script for compatibility.

Just a heads up, the sector map script has a bug I didn' identify until Simba pointed out to me.

It doesn't seem to work reliably when you undock. It's only reliable after you first go through a jump gate. I'm going to try and fix this tomorrow because it's annoying, but just wanted to pass this along.

There really is not a lot you need to do, since the save games are not compatible in any case. All you need to do is copy the Scripps to the ad on\scripts directory,  which is just in the main TC folder.  Make sure you’re saved games for aP are set to modified, with the same steps you took originally for TC. Other than that, you should be good to go. Just check in the AP folder for your logs, instead of the TC folder, in documents.

Hi again,
slight update
this seems to be the best price less than what it costs to purchase the single TC, you get AP TC and an addon to TC if I am reading it right. Correct me if I am wrong or if one or the other isn't playable
Grryf

Yeah. The reality is that 95% of the scripts for TC will work with AP and vice versa. It's probably possible to write ones which will work with both without any trouble. There are mods for AP which give all the TC plot stuff, and AP comes with a bunch of little improvements on top of it.

I've been talking to people on the Egosoft forums and on Reddit about ways for us to handle combat, which is one of the other big parts of the game. There are a few methods, a lot is already provided in the game itself or via third-party mods.

I'll try to stream at some point early next week, if I can get some quiet time, and include info about combat among other things. The other major area I need to work on is factory production, which is a mid-to-late game stage.

hmmm i need the plugin manager i'm on a different machine. it;s not on pg1?

thanks zac.

Unfortunately, I think that Foundations is probably not playable, given some of the changes they have made. I am more than willing to try it at some point and be proven wrong, but I am a little bit skeptical.
