Station help.

[e_____e]

Well, I've been wondering if it's possible to have different shops in one station. In the station I'm making, I want a weapons shop, a defenses shop, a technology shop, and a general shop, but I don't know if that's possible.

Code: Select all

(setq gShowCriteria "*")

It has something to do with that, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing it.

Make the shops as dock panes.
Use the (setq gShowCriteria ...) before calling the &dsExchangeBuySell; dockscreen.
Here is the list of the letter codes:
a armor
d device (weapon, shield, drive, etc.)
f fuel
l launcher weapon only
m missile
r reactor
s shields
t miscellaneous
u useful (armor coating, ROM, etc.)
v drive
w weapon (including launchers)
I is installed
D is damaged
N is not damaged
S is useable
U is not installed

Means that "*NU" is * (All Items), N (Not damaged), and U (not installed)

Then the modifiers (from the item's modifiers) go after the letter codes.
+ must have this modifier
- must not have this modifier

"*NU -military" would be all undamaged uninstalled items that don't have military modifier. A '+' instead of the '-' would make it so that the items Must Have military modifier.

The station would have to have all of the items for all of the different shops in it's [Items]...[/Items], then use the (setq gShowCriteria ...) on each dock pane to limit which ones of the station's inventory would work for the individual 'shop' pane's buy/sell screens.

Thanks.

I'm sure I did this with one of my mods. A station had 2 shops, a junk shop for damaged items, then a normal shop.

Could it have been in your TIC mod?

I've still got it despite a full wipe of my hard drive (Willingly, thank god).

Yeah, I'm a pack rat, keeping mods from .97 well into .98.
