Command "findag" - Find Ancient Gateways

[unbekannt1984]

Hi,

 

I wrote a little (command-)script that finds all Ancient Gateways in your Galaxy. I thought this might be useful for some people here:

package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/lib/?.lua"
package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/?.lua"

local SectorSpecifics = include ("sectorspecifics")

function execute(sender, commandName)
local specs = SectorSpecifics()
local player = Player(sender)
local serverSeed=GameSeed()

print("findag working")
for y = -499, 500, 1 do
	for x = -499, 500, 1 do
		local regular, offgrid, dust = specs.determineFastContent(x, y, serverSeed)
		if offgrid then
			specs:initialize(x, y, serverSeed)
			specs = SectorSpecifics(x, y, serverSeed)
			if specs.generationTemplate and string.match(specs.generationTemplate.path, "sectors/ancientgates") then
				print("Ancient Gates found at %i:%i", x, y)
			end
		end
	end
end
return 0, "", ""
end

You can put more features into it, modify it to find sectors with other scripts,... But a little warning: checking 1000000 sectors for offgrid-sectors and then checking about 50000 sectors for ancient gateways took my computer about half an hour.

 

If you still want to try anything, put the code above in a file in ~/.steam/SteamApps/common/Avorion/data/scripts/commands/ (who cares about Windows?), findag.lua in my case, and use the command from your chat. Results will be written to the Server-Logs.
