Ive already said how good a job hes done, but id like everyone else to know what i think of this, its excellent, its worked out profits for all my stations, how much my companies worth ( 4,296,956,849 ) and everything i need to know about my company.

Brillaint job, keep it up!

Some players found some issues which I hope the latest changes would sort out.

Im currently working on a Ranks Sig Image at the moment, using the real rank images from the game ( http://logaans-site.co.uk/x2/gamestats/ranks/ranks.html )

So keep those bug reports and suggestions coming

logaan i have noticed that the script dose not see ships sitting in stations e.g. you buy a TS then leave it in the station. Then save you're stats that ship dose not show up in the log. untill it's out in space

Logaan · Post by **Logaan** » Fri, 19. Nov 04, 01:38

It should do,

Code: Select all

079   * Get List of Ships From Station
080       $ShipList = $CurrentSt -> get ship array from sector/ship/station

That should get all the stations from that Object, which is Current Station.

I did have problems earlier where it would miss ships because they would be in the station when my script checked the sector, then go outside on a job, just as my script would check inside.

Which is why the first line sets the Priority high so it gets priority during its run and shouldnt be interupted. I know its not the most effcient method but its all i can do at the moment

Since this is my first script I dont know what else i can do

Code: Select all

$landedcheck = $station -> find ship: class or type=Boron Dolphin race=Pirates flags=$anull refobj=$anull maxnum=$anull  with homebase=$station

use the bottom find ship command and choose the station it will search on instead of the one near the top of the general commands list

But id have to do that for each dockable class, and then again when it comes to searching the ships docked in other ships

Logaan, I have some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is that your script doesn't return all ships! I tested it and it returned 429 ships, though it should have returned 578 ships.

The good news is that I have been working on a statistics script myself

, and I am willing to help you.
My script is by no means finished but it does correctly return all ships

.

What I basically do is loop through all sectors. For every sector I will search for all flying player owned ships. For every sector I will also search for every station. Then I loop through all stations and find all player owned docked ships. For all the ships I have found at that point I will also check if they carry any ships themselves.

Brilliant

That was the same logic to my script but it doesnt work properly, TBH I havnt had time to look at it and sort it out recently.

Would it be in a similar output format to the script I wrote?

EDIT: Just realised i didnt put an example of the script in:
The Script
The Text File

At first glance both the source and outputs of our scripts appear to be quite different.

Here's what I propose: since I really like your idea of using a script to automatically generate signatures and generate all different kind of stats and rankings on your webpage, I will offer to take a look at the source of your script and try to correct it. Off course, only if you allow me to

Sure, go ahead, anything that will improve the service, and you are welcome to an account on the stats site (if you dont already have one)

It looks like only khaak ships are missing, the script found only one khaak scout, but I have a few fighters + more than one scout at the moment.

Looks great otherwise

GaddyG · Post by **GaddyG** » Wed, 24. Nov 04, 16:25

nice little script...
seems to be picking up everything i have except the ships in stations...
which has been mentioned...

Logaan · Post by **Logaan** » Wed, 24. Nov 04, 17:45

There are odd bits and bobs that are still a bit buggy, but they can only be found through testing so thanks to all who are participating

Slight problem that i know about is that if you dont have a the Khaak Ship specs then they will show as Unknowns or Other

Logaan · Post by **Logaan** » Wed, 24. Nov 04, 18:26

Doh!

Dont worry all i found the bug in the script, it was so obvious, I found it by getting the script to change the name of the ships it found to - so those left were those in non player stations

I was only looking for player ships in Player Owned Stations, so ships that were bought and still in the Shipyards, or ships that were trading in other stations werent picked up

Ill fix it soon and get post back

EDIT: Ok the new version of the script is uploaded. Basically it now loops through the whole universe and all the stations. I dont think it adds that much time to the execution of the script.

Flector · Post by **Flector** » Wed, 24. Nov 04, 18:53

Exactly!

I just found the problem as well, and wanted to report it. I guess you just beat me to it.

Good luck fixing the bug!

Logaan · Post by **Logaan** » Wed, 24. Nov 04, 18:55

I just edited my last post

, but yeah, i just fixed it

EDIT: And I spelt Caiman wrong in the Ship Table so none of your Caimans would show up , errm oops

Flector · Post by **Flector** » Wed, 24. Nov 04, 22:12

The fix seems to be a succes!

I have just tested your new version. I compared the totals per shiptype generated by the new version of your script and my own script, and they exactly matched

. The fact that our scripts were independently developed and generate the exact same results must be a good sign!

I'd like to stress that the statistics scripts I am developing myself are not intended to compete with yours in any way. The scripts I develop are intended to be a help for controlling my empire.

When I get to factory statistics scripts (I don't have any yet), I might be able to check those parts of your script as well.

Great, thx for the quick fix

You may want to update the zip file on your homepage too.
