right you are. there was something like "get array of incoming missiles" playing around the edges of my awareness, which is why i kind of set that statement aside. that should make things much easier. the effect of constantly moving the missile via position statements is actually very smooth. the sc...

oh, you can change the direction of missiles, but you have to do it via "position" commands. if you take an affected missile, calculate its displacement due to velocity each frame, and keep manually moving it towards the spacefly, you could simulate the missile actually following the spacefly. that'...

That's interesting. My only guess is that you're setting up a warpgate between two adjacent systems. If this is the case, I can't say I'm surprised that the ships take the default gate. I don't know what they're behavior is, but I'd guess it checks from the lowest number gate up. When it finds one o...

hmm... my ship did indeed seem slower than the competition, but i just outflew 'em and moved on ;) that was one of the screwiest missions i've seen. randomly plunk you into a flying dumpster and tell you to hit checkpoints. bleh. i don't actually know what ship i was in, or what ship the opponents w...

well, you're right that it's all down to the mission mechanics, but i still consider it a bug. or at least an anomaly. there's no way that was intentional.

here's a little nuisance i came across during mission 2. now first, i've found that the don's fighters are particularly susceptable to being captured. this is probably just because they're weak, and when i pound the snot out of them and they bail like all all of hell's demons were on their tail. thi...

Well, I've made my Numidium: Villainy! Testing out the "Mobile Drilling System" On the hapless Khaak That station is actually nestled inside of the "arms" of the Numidium Scrambling a wing of fighters for, uh... fun :) it's equipped with the fearsome and mighty Mobile Drilling System ;) fortunately,...

glad to hear the PPCs are working. the images looked quite impressive. as far as scripts go, you're likely talking about pirates, yes? i seem to also remember discussion about a set of trader scripts to simulate buying/selling by the larger trading hubs. trying to ease myself back into this more car...

i know i foreswore more work in the X universe until X3 came out... but last night, checking out that bug in my script, i... well, i think i'm a bit recovered from my second burn-out on X2 modding. if you want to send me your resource files for that megaloth PPC, i'd be interested in seeing how to h...

ah... hunh. interesting. so let me make sure i understand this correctly: - when entering a gate, the player ship actually moves to the edge of the sector map before being "placed" into the next sector - because the player is is temporarily at the edge of the sector, wingmen set to autojump with hyp...

hmm... one suggestion, and i don't know if it's implemented or not, is to help out getting m6s to transport goods to and from EQ docks. they can't actually use the ;pad/unload commands, so you need to check the ship class and do an add/remove pair of commands to create the transfew effect. admiralti...

i use windowed mode in many games while modding. sometimes, when modding, you get into an infinite loop or something which freezes the game. it's often not possible to get the game to release control over your screen when you're in fullscreen mode, so running in windowed mode often helps me access t...

glad to see you're still keeping up with this. it sounds like it's turning out to be quite a package. good luck!

yes, i know from experience that you do need to edit the OBJ file.

s'okay. maybe some day i'll look into it. right now, i'm putzing around in Morrowind. for now, just disable that message and it's all good, i guess. hmm... i wonder if it's detecting the drones over and over, or the ship itself? that's the oddest thing... i would guess it's the drones, but why would...

legion: if you're referring to the "XaiCorporation Fleet Support Ship Commands" software package, then i can assure you i haven't used that upgrade slot. the slots i do use will conflict with the following mods: AdvJumper: "XaiCorporation Trade Command Software MK1" ? "Mark's Patrol scripts Fight Co...

kustom: i'm assuming the message is warning you of a new enemy ship within the Alert Five radius. this message is normally sent when a new enemy ship of m6 class of higher enters the carrer's Alert Five radius. the only way i could see this happening is if the script "mhordes.tools.isinarray.ships" ...

correct. that's basically what i've struggled with while developing AdvJumper. I've even tried to get around the problem by temporarily removing all trade wares if there's not enough room for the e-cells (such as on a full TS), but there's no way to make the jump happen without the cells for fuel.

thanks twu the yu, taht wus beutifal. now, what were we discussing again?

wait, you're saying you think that advanced jumper interfered with the carrier script? that's really, really odd. there's no conflicts as far as i can tell; i can't pretty much assure you it isn't the fault of my scripts. are you sure you haven't installed/changed any other scripts recently that mig...
