Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hi.I also think what we would need is some sort of way to remotely check a station for prices.For example, you can sit in your discoverer in space or at a station and can look at your Mercury, and check the prices of goods at different stations so you can send the fraighter off without needing to fly into a sector, looking at the stations and then checking if you could make a good deal.i know that this works for sighted people, the trade hotkey sadly doesn't work there.greetings Moritz URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/492657/#p492657 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hi Moritz,Happy to help if you need it. The script is configured in a menu under "additional ship commands," in the command console, but you don't need that to start. Just run the command under "special commands," and it will work. I recommend doing this with a fast ship, like your Discoverer when fully upgraded. You'll ideally want to be in a different ship at the time, because the script takes over and will just do it's thing.I haven't yet installed a jump drive in my explorer, but it's set to use that to fly away from dangerous sectors by default, I believe.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Symba,THere are other scripts which let us do exactly that, and when we own stations and factories there are commands which basically use exactly that logic to keep the station supplied. There are some really complex scripts available for logistics and such, but I haven't messed with them yet.THe galaxy explorer script can be found here at XDownloadsd, and the forum thread discussing it is here on the Egosoft boards.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hi.Yeah the jump drive is quite awesome to have, always make sure that you have a stash of energie cells in your hold, I think one sector jump equals to 15 cells beeing used, at least somewhere in that arria.I don't know how good best buy and best sell locators are, it would be awesome if I just could send the mercury off with for example commands to buy ore under a certain price and sell above another price.Can you link to the galaxy script again possibly?

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids So I finally managed to find time to make my way down to Teladi space and purchase Explorer COmmand Software for my DIscoverer. This, combined with the previously-linked "Galaxy Explorer," script, basically lets me automate the somewhat tedious task of mapping the universe. In addition, the script is set to capture any unowned ships it finds and bring them to the closest neutral or friendly station.ALso worth noting, the script is designed to handle deploying a satellite network automatically, as well as scanning asteroids as possible sites for mines and the like. All this is configurable via a menu, which I still need to explore more carefully with OCR, though it strikes me that in the worst case I can always use something like Be my EYes for clarification purposes, since we generally only need a few moments of borrowed sight.I also bought Best Buy and Best Sell locators, which are probably going to come in handy for the next phase of trading. Next up, once I can afford it, a jump drive for my Mercury and probably some more fighter drones, just in case.As an amusing sidenote, I wandered down into pirate space briefly as well, and managed to avoid pissing them off, which isnot always easy. I accepted a covert ops mission from somebody down there, but didn't realize he would send me to a sector I'd never heard of and couldn't find. Fortunately, failing the mission only lead to him dismissing me from his presence, rather than any worse outcome.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hi Moritz,Yeah, you can set up the Discoverer to do sector mapping on its own. I'm currently flying towards Teladi space, where I hope to get Explorer COmmand software, which will let me do that. THere's a script called Galaxy Explorer, which is what I plan to use for that process.I've also been communicating with most stations and ships along the way. THere's no real way to find random missions or the like otherwise, and fortunately it's easy to tell whether you've lande on a mission or oppertunity or not, because they always have an extra menu option, and prompt you with mission details beforehand.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Walker and Darrin,It is probably easier to buy the game and refund it than to try a demo, if only because I have no idea what the demo lets you do, and it almost certainly won't let you run the accessibility scripts we need to use. Regarding remote trading, I will continue to investigate ways to make satellites useful for us, though it's worth pointing out that apparently sector and universe traders don't actually need them, so they're less useful than they might otherwise be. I will continue to look into other areas that might benefit from scripting as well, but my goal is to modify the game as little as possible at the moment.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hi Moritz,Sure, I can walk you through the setup process. The biggest issue is that the tabs in the options menu, going left to right, loop, so you'll want to be aware of that.The menu guide written by my friend Malechai is available here. You awnt to go into the "Controls," menu, and then to create a new profile. Then if you switch to that profile you can go to the "interface," tab on the far right and go down to the bottom area, where the trade log hotkey is located. OCR will help with this process, but you'll also want to do some counting of menu options for the first bit. I define my trade log hotkey as a vertical bar, (shift+backslash on the ENglish keyboard), which seems to work well.ALternatively, I can possibly just ship you an accessibility profile which you can load, the downside being that you'll be stuck with my definition unless you want to change it.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hi Moritz,Actually, the "Move to coordinates," mod is part of the base game as long as you play X3AP. It enables automatically if you install Navigation software on your ships, which I recommend doing as soon as you can.Other than that, we need the plugin manager, which lets you enable scripts without having to fuss with the in-game method. That can be found here, from my Dropbox. There is also the latest version of the Trade scripts, which need to be put into the addon\scripts folder. NOte that they are zipped up in a V0.40 folder which is just a convenient way of packaging a bunch of separate files.I'll keep everyone posted as I find more scripts and add-ons which will help us.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hi.Yeah you gotta figure out when to buy what resources.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Thanks for the recommendation, Darin.I'm still continuing with my current game, I wanted to get auto-exploration working today with my Discoverer but got sidetracked wandering around Argon space in my Mercury instead. The scripts are definitely working quite well, though there is a lingering bug in the map script I hope to solve sometime soon.This time around I'm definitely becoming more aware of the way the supply chain aspect of the game works, which is the whole point, I suppose. I made the mistake of buying a cargo hold full of ore at bargain rates only to find that everybody was already glutted with it. Eventually managed to sell for a high price but it took longer than I anticipated.I hope to be able to claim some abandoned ships soon, but I'm in no hurry, as mapping the universe is quite fun for the moment.As a note, I installed the Terran Conflict Plots Mod, which enables the storyline from X3TC along with the expanded gameplay in AP. It's nice to have a reasonably peaceful universe to wander around in for now.I'll keep everyone posted as I explore new areas of the game, or if I make any scripting changes.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids The main trick so far is just getting familiar with the way the menus are laid out. The most important one is the ship command console, which has a bunch of options in several distinct sections. If I can sometime I'll write up a guide to the menu layouts for important places, though sometimes they change depending on what's equipped on your ship. Fortunately, the command console accepts keyboard shortcuts and it's often possible to remember how to do things without having to use the menus all the time.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Just as a note to interested parties, I've been working my way through an actual game of X3, starting last night. OCR is occasionally annoying, but I've figured out some tricks to work around it and am able to reliably fly a couple ships, and set the remote ones to notify me when they finish their orders. I will keep everyone posted as to how things develop, the biggest problem is the fact that menus are a little confusing, but I'm becoming familiar with the most important ones.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Unfortunately nothing came of talking to the developers, understandably.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Hey All,ON the off-chance that anyone aside from me is still interested in this game, I've begun trying to play/work on it again. I can't promise any particular feature updates, but the current scripts make trade and construction easier, at least. The scripting language is certainly robust enough to make a great deal more accessibility possible, I'm just not quite sure how yet.I also felt, last time, that i was more working on the game than getting the chance to play it. I hope to strike a somewhat better balance this time around.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids I keep meaning to come back to this game, but the limitations of the scripting engine make it hard to do some things accessibly. I wasn't aware there was a demo. The biggest problem is that it's quite difficult to get some information that sighted players can, and that puts a damper on how well you can perform, in certain respects. This is particularly the case with remote trading, though it should be easier to do this once you've equipped your ships with the right software.

Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids
Re: The X3 Series, like Smugglers on Steroids Moritz,Energy cells, and all other cargo, are bought one at a time by default. Container class has to do with the kinds of ships that can carry them, some smaller ships can't carry larger cargo, like oar. Your mercury is rated for cargo up to XL, extra large class, so can cary those reliably.On another note, I just discovered a project called Sonifight, which looks as though it might be very helpful for us. I might be able to make X3 voice its own menus, or at least have this program help us do so. THis is still a ways away, as I"m still getting familiar with how it works, but it's quite promising.
