I would opt for getting a smuggler's hold from them, and selling to a Victorian Nightclub.
Didn't that get removed?
No, but I think it might have been nerfed for balance.

There really is no reasonable way in the game to calculate your 'net-worth' to figure out what your tithe is supposed to be. Agreed but calculating solely on credits is even more open to abuse than the current system because the amount of credits a player has at any one moment varies so wildly. The...

Every item in Transcendence has a value attribute, one assumes these are summed for the items you possess. I would also suggest that the vast majority of people associate tithe with a 10% donation any more than they associate decimation with the killing of one in ten. (character) who obviously grew ...

Re: Of Devices and Cubes....

I have installed 'devices' like the Asgard Systems one and it never, ever tells me what it is. Cubes I need a CPU and then when I have the CPU there are cubes that tell me nothing when used or attempted to use. Hmm, which cubes, as far as I can see from the xml they all produce reasonable output me...

If you tell your wingmen to wait I'm pretty sure they still fire, if that's right then the relevant code is:

Code: Select all

(shpCancelOrders [the ship])
(shpOrder [the ship] 'hold)

On a related note, the whole Korolev (sp?)/Charon deal is really tough. I can't remember the last time I was able to gun down Drakes in a timely manner by Charon. It's a very tall order, and you miss out on a good deal of content if the cards dealt don't allow you to singlehandedly destroy the pira...

Oh, in that case you could do it by editing the .xml Try adding this code to an item you have in your hold, (a fuel rod or something): charges= "12" valueCharges= "true" useScreen= "&dsUseTualiComaDrug;" It goes inside the <ItemType> tag, with luck this should make it act just like the Thioseptal. Y...

Because the gate has the attribute uncharted the map rom won't find it. I think the only way is to search each of the systems. Try flying large circles around the system. You need to look at 7 systems starting with the 3rd one after St. Katharine's. The gate is 1200 to 1500 light seconds away from t...

Sounds cool! What language are you using? Permanency and easy desktop editing of the game world are major advantages but there's other ways to get that if thats all you want. In general I would say that using directory's like that is letting your self in for a whole range of problems (I/O bottle nec...

sysCreateWeaponFire with <Invoke> bug

sysCreateWeaponFire can be called with ammunition from a launcher. Normally this works fine but it seems that when the ammunition has an <Invoke> tag (even an empty one) sysCreateWeaponFire fails and returns False.

Can someone confirm this please I think this is the problem but I'm not sure.

Typo in Refueling Dockscreen

Line 3908 and 3917 in Transcendence.xml

"You ship is does not need any fuel."

Currently however this line is never displayed (or so it seems) you always 'need' at least one fuel rod.

Probably every merchant ship carries a few petabytes of memory reserved for Emails and usenet replication.
Sort of the definition on untrusted 3rd party's though, communication would be vulnerable to Ship-in-the-middle attacks :D

Thank you all, you've all been very helpful! I got it working using Periculi's suggestion; moving a pre placed Marker. It was not overly complicated to implement (after the very painful hour where I forgot about sysGetObjectByName and tried to use sysFindObject...) @alterecco I tried something smile...
