[S] [AL] [07.06.07] [X3 1.0.10] Race Invasions

[Sandalpocalypse]

If thats happening then bounty boost isnt compatible. Often these scripts interfere with eachother.

[frickenmoron]

how often do the friendly-> foe invasions trigger? teladi wanted to attack pirate valley, they didnt do anything in that sector tough (their ships stand there and do nothing). the pirates dont care about them, this invasion was never cancelled or anything else and i have never ever received an attack invitation again, only help calls from foe invasions.

[Buck_Rogers]

is this the same race invasion script that came with the old X3Plus pack?

[rafezetter]

I have removed bounty boost from the installer yet i am still not getting paid at the end of an invasion - is there any files that need deleting lurking in the background?

[Commander Akenaton]

Race Invasions works on XTM ?

[Marodeur]

They work but they dont use the new XTM-Ships.

Looks like an interesting script but I must be missing something very basic.

An invasion means that you invade enemy territory with the intent of conquering it.
This doesn't ever seem to happen, though, because the invasion fleet destroys some stuff and goes home.

Don't take me wrong - I'm not trying to belittle the script but I don't see the purpose of these invasions. (other than creating arbitrary fights for the player, of course)

[rafezetter]

Hmm seems to me you need to either go back to your teacher and ask for the proper definition or buy yourself a dictionary my friend . That is NOT what invasion means:

Invade Meaning and Definition. (v. t.) To attack; to infringe; to encroach on; to violate

Which is EXACTLY what this script is about, and for your further education in order to conquer you then have to KEEP, which would mean the player putting outposts or in this case bases and ships to protect the area - are you seriously suggesting that the player do this with each of the areas as this script activates? That would be cripplingly expensive to the point of madness and therefore completely impracticle in the game, unless of course you cheat but whats the point of that?

If you are going to post with criticism at least do it with the correct information, otherwise don't bother.

class dismissed.

[Gazz]

I completely agree with your definition of "to invade" but you should have read the script description before replying.

This is an AL script which means that AI race 1 is invading AI race 2's territory.
It is not about the player invading something. The player does not need a script to do that.

They fight (whether the player chooses to be there or not) and destroy property. Then they leave or are eventually destroyed by regular respawns in that sector.
That would be a preemptive strike, raid, or terrorism, depending on who's writing the news.

Imagine the USA invading another 3rd world country but only bringing their air force. Sure they can bomb it back into stone age but if not a single soldier ever sets foot on the country, how much of a conquest can they achieve?
Claiming the natural resources / treasury and instating an obedient government typically is the goal of such an effort.

In X3 terms the sector would have to change ownership either on winning the battle (not very stylish) or after winning the battle and the invasion fleet surviving in that sector for x hours afterwards.

I was merely raising the question on the purpose of these raids but thanks for the opportunity to make someone feel smart as well. This world can use more happy people!

Is there any way I can manually trigger an invasion with this? I installed this script a couple of hours ago and nothing has happened yet.

Should be working again, replaced the umlaut characters in the link.

Hey

First I like to thank StarTrekMarc for a great script.

But, I also have some questions, and I am a total newbie on modding.

1. What do I need to do to change how often the invasion happens. I
want the invasions to happen with 3-5 hour in between.

2. What must I do to change what I get paid after helping out? I want
less cash for helping.

3. Sometimes I see that the invading forces destroy everything. So I
wonder if the stations/defenders that was there will respawn?

4. Will the invasions be stronger/weaker over time?

5. Will the invader build something in the sector they clean out, or use
it for something?

Thanks for any help.

The link is dead again.

[Peanutcat]

No it's not....

And is this compatible with Race Respones Fleets? They never seem to attack eachother in RFF

[Buck_Rogers]

I'm sure it is. I've got both of them.

[rstrom11]

So I downloaded the file..... Now what? I'm totally lost

[Peanutcat]

Now you install

[rstrom11]

Well obviously -.- but in order to install it one must know how to go about doing that

[Peanutcat]

Well reading what it says on the first page helps.

The Installation

First of all you have to activate the ScriptEditor by entering "Thereshallbewings" as new player name. After that the name should reset to the old value. Simple extract the filestructure into your game directionary. After this you should save your game and restart it. Because of the activation of the ScriptEditor your game will get 'Modified'. It isn't possible to remove this again from the savegame you have used.


The Procedure

After the installation of the plugin it will take some time, before you get the first message.
