[REQUEST] Script Editor lock
since i know how to open the SE and give me just about anything i want i just cant resist opening it every time i start and it spoils the fun.
if somebody could make a mod or simple script that would lock the script editor which could only be opened by the script creator through a 5 digit password then i will finaly actualy be able to PLAY the game and not cheat my way through the storyline.

it really wouldn't be possible to do something like that.
best that could be done is add something in the plugin manager to do something bad if you dont unlock the script editor through it. But even with that, and u really wanted to cheat, u could find a way around it.
something like creating a script that will empty your bank accounts

007bradz You'll receive an email from me tomorrow with instructions and some little helper As others wrote already what you wanted to do is not possible for the Reasons Cycrow explained but anyway.
X:BtF: 7/10 | X2: 8/10 | X3:R/TC/AP: 8/10 | X:R: 3/10 | X4: 0/10 (3 points for split ships and stations, 4.0 -> -50 points).
If you are raising pirate activity, give me meaningful ways to deal with them PERMANENTLY. Better things to do than replacing ships every 10 minutes, or babysitting ships getting harassed.
Stopped playing X4 with 4.0 due to outrageous, needless and pointless nerfs to everything. Don't change what wasn't broken in the first place.

Question - Weapon switcher Fix
Excuse me If Im mistaken since I havent owned a cap ship yet but Id guess the player cap ships do not handle turrets automatically?
Also the npc ships I have seen so far in the game handled by the AI use all the turrets instead of just loading one and switching automatically? NPCS work different handling turrets than with X3:Reunion?
Anyone has plans to do something like this in X3:TC?
I recall moggy did the X3:R weapon switcher fix script.

Script converter?
Hi All,
Was finally able to get a copy of X3TC thanks to a friend! Is there any way to import or convert X3R scripts to X3TC? I have some scripts of my own that are useful to me that are quite a few lines. From what I see with a quick look, script formats are pretty close between the two. It would be nice though to be able to import older scripts into the new engine without having to type all that stuff again... especially being it is a pain trying to find the right command or script function in all the commands/functions available... Is there also a reference guide to the functions of the script editor?
Anyhow, I tried to copy a couple basic scripts to the scripts folder but they do not seem to be recognized in game so that I can even edit them. Any help with this would be appreciated...
Thanks
Malakie

if you read the stickies it explains how you can get the files loaded into the game.
but once they are loaded will require more changes to actually get them to work properly.
due to some of the changes to the existing commands, they may not function how your script expects either.
its often better to rewrite them anyways as you can make them better with all the new commands available

Hi,
For others who want to do the same thing I asked about, converting older scripts, I have done it with about 30 I had. Mine are not elaborate scripts by any means... create ship, install this that and the other thing and so forth. With the sticky that Cycrow pointed out, it was a simple matter to change two numbers in the old scripts to get them to appear in the editor in game.
After that all I had to do to get them to run was just check to make sure that the ship I was creating, its variable still pointed to the correct ship entry and I had to make sure all the 'items' for install to the ship were likewise correct.
Some lines showed readtext errors in the script itself which meant those particular items were not in the database. Since many of the scripts used XTM and scripts that added more items to the game in X3R, they obviously would for the most part not be available in TC. Simply removing those entries for the non-existing items was all that was needed.
After that the scripts worked exactly as they did in X3R. Hope that helps someone a bit.. at least with smaller easier script conversions... As for elaborate and complex scripts.. well I could not tell you there...

I just wonder: are "userland patches" for missions possible?
For example, if I enable the script editor in my game and then create a "2.003 Terran Plot Scene 3.xml" file inside a newly created "director" directory within my gamedir, will the game use the modified script or the original one within the .dat files? In other words, which mission will the game run?
Does the signature in the mission files affect this in any way?

No idea, but the autotrader seems to use it too. Something that is executed "pre" "load", just like there is the script hook that is called whenever a menu item is shown in order to know if it should be "enabled" or "disabled"?Litcube wrote:set ship command preload script: What's this do?
Intuitive guess (from non-scripter): a call hook for optional initialization procedure.
