TECSG could you post a thread in the forum here, with the details of your script, and we'll link to that. That way if you need to change the hosting location later on, you can do it yourself.

I'd like to reserve:

text files: 7353 and 7354
text pages: 7353 - 7359
COMMAND_TYPE_SPECIAL_35
and - don't laugh -
log file: 73535

This is for the comm chatter missions that are in development. If you feel 7353 - 7359 is too much go ahead and shorten it to 7353 - 7354, that's fine.

They're yours. We should have plenty. 2000 possibilities should cover the scripts people will write anytime soon. If we run out, we'll get a new block reserved for unsigned scripts.

Apologies Burianek, I hadn't seen the list!

I'll ammend my script to use page 7074 if there are no objections.

That will be changed and the new file uploaded within the hour.

Bounty Hunters script is now called Bounty Hunters Guild
it no longer uses the ware at all

Hire Mercenaries is now called Mercenaries Guild

Burianek,

I'd like to reserve:

text pages/file: 7075 and 7076

COMMAND_TYPE_TRADE_40 (440)
COMMAND_TYPE_TRADE_41 (441)
COMMAND_TYPE_TRADE_42 (442)
COMMAND_TYPE_PIRACY_40 (640)

If they're still available!

@Burianek

I would like to reserve textfile 7351 for future use, I'm buzy writing scrips and will use the same text file.

Also the page id is that also unique? eg can you use the same page id in different text files?

Um, I can see this getting out of hand.
In the future, in order to reserve the slot, you need to have the script ready to submit for inclusion. I'm certianly not suggesting that you would do this, but I can see a lot of people reserving slots, working on the scripts for a while, and then not releasing them. It'll be a logistics nightmare for me to go back and unallocate them etc. So aalardb got lucky, he's grandfathered in. The rest of you guys, no script no allocation.

Fair enough?
I'm sure we'll see your script soon, so this shouldn't be a major issue right? let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Same deal as specified above, go ahead and work on it and then I'll allocate the spot when it's done. I doubt someone else will take your slot in the meantime.

As far as your question, different text files can use the same page id. The way it works is that the game stores an internal 'database' of all the text from the textfiles upon every game load. Every time you load a textfile inside a script, the data contained is appended to the internally stored database. So if you loaded the same page from two different textfiles, they'd coexist peacefully, unless they shared common text ids (tid). If that were the case, the newly loaded ones would overwrite the old ones. Identical tids that are in different pages wouldn't overwrite each other (I'm guessing you can see why).

In general, it's pretty good practice to just have your text file and page ids be identical. If it's easy to do this the way you've set your scripts up, it's, in my humble opinion, the preferred method.

Most basic scripts for X2 (edit player cash, create ships/stations, adding cargo) will work for X3. Just copy the script file from the X2 scripts folder to the X3 scripts folder (provided you have also have X2).

I have already been able to use my givecash script as well as my ship creation scripts from X2 in X3 with little or no modification of the script.

Hope this helps.

I've just released 2 scripts.

Single High Satellite
and
8 Point Satellite Network

Link to topic

they use the following resources:
<t id="521">COMMAND_TYPE_SPECIAL_21</t> Single High Satellite
<t id="522">COMMAND_TYPE_SPECIAL_22</t> 8 Point Satellite Network

text pages:
7088 Single High Satellite
7089 8 Point Satellite Network

and if anyone can give me a hint how to get the "orders" to display in the"current orders" area, that would be great.

Please try not to turn this into a chat thread,....

Actually, do not

Burianek · Post by **Burianek** » Thu, 24. Nov 05, 03:43

Guys please don't confuse text files with text pages.

A text file is the one that is in your folder and ends in .xml

A text page is a line within your text file that contains individual lines of text.

See the first page for examples.

Telling me you're using text page 447704.xml is causing me to grind my teeth.

Not all scripts will have a unique text page, since if all you're doing is adding the commands to the command menu, you'll use the default egosoft text page. Most scripts will have an associated text file.

Cheers.

An updated (X3 compatible) version of the KhaakHunter script is available here.

It uses 447001.xml, command long name: pid 2011, tid 331; command short name: pid 2011, tid 331.

It works for X2 and for X3 but, in addition, also scans for Khaak destroyers.

Burianek, could you please add that to the first post?

Cheers Euclid

Edit: text file number changed from 445498 to 447001. Sorry for the confusion. E.
