Hey guys, I really want to rewrite the mod for the current gamestate and maybe repurpose its features (that could even mean take out stuff for what vanilla already does) , BUT there are several issues for me at the moment: not enough freetime for developing mods the rewrite WILL take a lot of time (I also want to integrate Move-UI) too many game updates which from time to time break mod features One feature I really like about the mod (and which has not been published yet) is the selection of ships, groups and their commands directly via the HUD 8) but some general issues prevented me from releasing the new mod version. And with the improvement of the vanilla GUI widgets I also hope to break the current group and ship-per-group limits (its only a usability limit, nothing technical)! You see, much to do but little to no time for it :-\ I would really appreciate if someone would help me updating the mod or even completly overtake its development, since it will be longer until I have time again for modding !!

As long as the main functionality of the mod works for you this error should not be too much of an issue (it just makes global server configs like HUD delay ineffective, but should not affect the mod in general, it is also already fixed in the next version which will be released soon). Its intended that alliance ships are visible in the unassigned list and assignable to ship groups as long as the player has the "Fly Ships" privilege for the alliance! i am the alliance leader and i checked i do have fly ships rights. currently i reverted to clean save of the scripts with out fleet control, ill put them back tomorrow and see if it works. thanks for the quick response., ok put it back on this morning and when i jump between sectors i see this similar but different error message,. and again all works accept i have no ships i can assign. thanks for any help. BTW new ships i create don't appear to take any orders,. old ones seem fine i can change their orders. so rolling it back out to carry one playing. is there any other info i can provide. Script "data/scripts/player/fleetcontrol/manager.lua" or one of its requirements is not in its original state, skipping sending of stack trace. Execution Context (inner to outer): #0: FleetControlManager.onSectorEntered data/scripts/player/fleetcontrol/manager.lua could not execute function 'FleetControlManager.onSectorEntered' in '"data/scripts/player/fleetcontrol/manager.lua"': data/scripts/lib/fleetcontrol/common.lua:404: attempt to index global 'Co' (a nil value) stack traceback: data/scripts/lib/fleetcontrol/common.lua:404: in function 'getPlayerCrafts' data/scripts/player/fleetcontrol/manager.lua:277: in function 'updateSectorPlayerShips' data/scripts/player/fleetcontrol/manager.lua:174: in function <data/scripts/player/fleetcontrol/manager.lua:171> ah, you mean you can not see youralliance ships ;) that error is rather strange, I need to troubleshoot it further before I can give you any advice or deliver a fix!

How would said server admin do that exactly? Sorry we all just picked up the game a few weeks ago. In the folder where the server saves the galaxy data (i.e. "%APPDATA%\Roaming\Avorion\galaxies\<yourgalaxyname>\" for Windows) is a file called "admin.xml". Edit this file and add the new "<command name="fleetcontrol"/>"-line to the "<defaultAuthorizationGroup>"-block. But be aware that multiplayer support for the mod is not 100% done yet, it could cause problems or unwanted behaviour if multiple players have the same ship(s) in their ship-groups!

Yes, fact is that on servers only admins can execute any non-standard command by default. One of the server admins must give you and other players the exlicit privilege to execute the /fleetcontrol command!

Hello everybody, there is a new update for the mod :) but its mainly for bugfixing and stability since last release. FleetControl v0.5.1 Changelog: fixed bugs and problems with script changes and some strange client behaviour (thx to Shrooblord for feedback) added 'clear' action to '/fleetcontrolconfig' command for removing all saved mod values (for troubleshooting purposes) DOWNLOAD v0.5.1

Hey guys and girls, is this mod still working for everyone or are fixes required (besides the obvisious ones, like namespace etc.) ??

Thank you very much for this excellent report :D I am quite busy at the moment due to a new job, but I will try to fix the problem on the weekend, seems not to be a big issue to resolve ;)

are all of the mod-files in the "textures" folder available on your client?

Please use "/findstationconfig galaxypath D:\Spielstände\Avorion\galaxies\avorion_galaxy2" chat command to set the correct path to your save-files!

Unfortunatelly, there are no real modding guides yet that i would be aware of :-[ But there is this forum and some info in the official wiki here. Also, some modders are hanging around at the Avorion Discord. I hope there will be more guides and wiki stuff after the next big update (since many rather huge changes like "unique index" and "new UI" are planned, and nobody wants to write insta-outdated guides at the moment)

unfortunatelly, a localized search is not possible at the moment (this is because the search itself is executed on the server, and you cannot localize text server-side)! EDIT: i had another thought on it, and localization can be implemented theoretically, but it would require LOADS of bandwidth (since >every< sectors complete station data has to be sent to the searching client). Will cost traffic on one side, but might actually even reduce performance cost on the server-side :) I will try to integrate this as a new optional setting, stay tuned for an update...

Hello Mr. Twirpy ;) happy to hear that you and others like my mod! Concerning your questions/ideas: 1) the mod is only able to read the sector XML files at the moment, and this information is not available from them. therefore this cannot be integrated in the mod, since parsing the sector binary files is hard to do and would cost tooo much additional performance! 2) same thing again, the displayed info is all the valuable info available from the sector XML files, more data would require parsing the sector binary files 3) this is actually not a bad idea and i might integrate that into the next version(s)!
