    All of theses can be setup with a combination of timers, sensors, or other things which trigger them such as running directly or putting the program block set to run on your bar. The "ship" and Status Report run ideally with a timer which activates the programmable block on some regular interval and then restarts the timer. Use at your own risk. The virus is not fully tested. Note that at this time the faction check in the virus is not working so use carefully.

    All my scripts are now managed in Steam Workshop.

    Enjoy.

    Why are you using longs? I would imagine an unsigned integer would be more than enough (assuming you don't need negatives). Heck, on your system they may just be integers under the hood.

    Updated with my latest scripts. Enjoy!

    I'm especially proud of the new power saving Dormant / Active Mode scripts.

    This is easy stuff (but then again I've been programming for 23 years)

    Wasn't C# introduced in 2000? What did you use for the first 8-9 years?

    Various other languages. I know several languages.
    C, C++, Basic, Quick Basic, Visual Basic for Dos, Visual Basic for Windows 3.1, Visual Basic for Windows, VB.Net, C#, Java, Javascript, ASP, HTML, PHP

    Early days of programming from around the age of 8 to around 12, it was mostly basic / quick basic and other really simple languages. Around 92/93 I started doing VB for Dos, VB for Win 3.1, and when Windows 95 came out got Visual Studio and started coding in VB for Windows 95 and onward until VB.Net came out. Studied C / C++ and Java in college. Learned HTML around the time of the .com boom, learned Javascript, ASP, but not PHP until a few years back. Got into C# a few years after C# came out (because initially I was doing VB.Net when .Net first came out). Also know a ton of minor sub languages and related technologies like SQL, MySQL, Oracle.

    Overall though C# is my primary language. It what I code in professionally (building enterprise web-based applications) and what I do my wife's business website in and also other sub projects outside ShadeCrest (which I mostly do PHP and Command Helper).

    Can I make you feel old by saying that you've been coding VB for longer than I've been alive? (Born in '94 for reference)

    I graduated highschool when you where 3 years old.

    So.... today I completely re-wrote these scripts into a single API that's around 1440 lines of code.

    That API allows for each one of the different programs to execute their code in around 10-20 lines of code instead of hundreds. Now they just need to release some like "master controller" block where I can load the API into it and then call those functions from my other program blocks to cut down on the copy paste madness.

    How long did that even take?

    All my scripts are now on the workshop and if you subscribe to them, easily accessible in game.

    I still might start a GitHub project for my scripts for collaborative purposes.

    CyberVic, would be awesome to get this on Github since I can't copy & paste these out of the in game editor without it crashing.

    hey vic wut about a script that turned ur inertia dampeners on and ur beacon or antenna on and up in range when u exited ur ship if the program block is turned on. im curious because ive lost many ships from getting kicked while coasting to other asteroids. it would be nice to have a kind of safety feature if flying through space without ur inertia dampeners on in the event of a game crash or server crash. we lost 2 ship today and now they are coasting through space

    There is no way currently to check if someone is piloting the ship.

    I do have a half written script to do stuff like this if / when they add the ability to detect that from the API.
