Hey,
mod works almost 100%, see my comment from 2023 as one line needs to be changed.
What is not working, is strategic view - controlling of active ship.
To mitigate, just jump to drone mode and then issue orders.

@Madranis please update!

This mod is not working anymore. Needs an update.

Hi all, anyone of you know an alternative to this? I've tried the suggestion below, without any luck.
I have the option to select the special commands, I got the skip, go back, cancel, but just not the start function, tried all kind of commands to test with, but no green button :(

outdated

this mod work?

i did the modification below and it worked however i found that a ship occupied by a player could no longer accept any order or command including those from strategic overlay.

Mod works for added commands but doesn't work for vanilla one.
It's one line fix, if you want to:
in \445220\2294492031\data\scripts\entity\orderchain.lua
Line: 326 replace with:
local captains = entity:getCaptain()

what happened to the Improved orders control - FIXED fork that someone uploaded on workshop?

Yeah, no... this mod hasn't worked since at least september... isnt gonna be fixed sadly, it seems.

sadly i just confirmed this. but it was running just fine a few days ago. as far as i know nothing changed less some other mod conflicts with this now.

more or less if you have a Cap in a ship it might follow advanced orders but at some point will stop and act like there is no captain. a work around is to dismiss the captain and fly back to station and get a new one, but this only worked half of the time.

I hope this gets fixed soon because this mod is awesome.

To future readers: THIS MOD WILL BREAK YOUR GAME, it prevents your captains from being able to follow orders like "mine this sector". The mod does not work at all, it only breaks your game.

@MarvinEhre

It has been broken for hearly half a year... sadly... so i personally think it is to be determined abandoned and deprecated.

can you please update this mod, it currently causes your ships not being able to follow commands.

@madranis Could you please update the mod?

It's a nice mod, I love it.
I like the salvage and mining missions, 1-5 hours (with a mining captain).
No more ships being destroyed in a belt with afk mining because you were too slow to switch sectors.

+1 on the "no captain" bug.

mod causes problems: "ship got no captain"

Yup, please, update...

update

Broken in 2.0.11...

Will this be updated Madranis? If not you should update the description of this and other mods

it would be a shame as its a great mod

yeah, mod broken on 2.0.11.
said "ship got no captain"

Broken on 2.0.11

As others have said... doesn't work in 2.0

Yeah, it was looking for a Captain in the old getCrewMembers.

In orderchain.lua Instead of

local captains = entity:getCrewMembers(CrewProfessionType.Captain)

you want

local captains = entity:getCaptain()

Can confirm it doesn't work. The commands added in 2.0 don't work at all, the AutoPilot won't work (says no captain when there is one). It also wouldn't let me move ships the old way either, saying I needed a captain. I suspect it is looking for the captain crew member from before rather than the current captain setup and that is causing the issue.

There has been an error. Your ship has no captain. Although there is one in there. deactivated the mod and everything was ok again

Hope to see this mod in 2.0. look forward to it :)

yes, I too have 4 ships, 4 captains, 2 that I can command remotely and 2 with "captain needed" message. I tried to swap my captains, but it didn't change anything.

@GENOBEESRAGE @Shyzle At the beginning of the description it says "commands for AI-controlled, captained ships." which means you still have to have a captain in your AI controlled ships. This doesn't bypass that requirement... are you both using captains in your ships?

currently not compatible with 2.0. cause the vanilla autopilot functions to fail due to nop captain.

After installing this and trying to autopilot command a ship to mine a sector it says no captain is in the ship

Madranis, when updating this, I don’t know if you’re going to need to take the mod that adds the commands back in into consideration or not: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2565262170

Awesome

I've started updating my mods to 2.0. 2.0 did a major rework of most of the code this mod builds on, so this one may take a bit to get working again.

There's a mod adding Salvage/Mining/Loop orders back to the map... possible this would work with it on Beta 2.0 branch now?

Is this mod likely to get updated anytime soon?

The new system removes looping entirely... RIP this awesome mod

update plz. the new Beta2.0 system is no good.

Sadly i tested this in the Beta release and i does not work. The automated commands in the 2.0 beta is a sorry mess compared to this masterpiece.

Love this

update pls

Essential mod!

My only gripe is that all orders vanish when you jump into a ship and you can't give orders to a ship you're inhabiting but I appreciate this is probably the game rather than the mod.

Is it possible to save commands and recall them at a later time or easily replicate them on another ship?

@Tontow, You might have figured it out by now, but a "persistent mining order" is when you select a ship, press 'F' and then give it a command. Once a ship is running a command like that then it can't be given queued commands from the map view until you stop the currently running command.

Love this mod, thanks!

Error: "can't enchain after a persistent mining order"


Can you make it so that when there is nothing left to mine, ships move to the next order? instead of giving that error?


You can get the correct behavior if you only use R mining stuff, but if you use the normal ones, it wont work.

@WildFish,

Do the rest of the UI changes appear on the map? What other mods are you using?

@Tysse,

It should appear if a loop is valid. It leaves the base game logic for loops unchanged. I have noticed occasional quirks both with the mod and base-game only where the loop icon doesn't show up when it should. If you have a method which can consistently cause it, I'd love to know as I've never reproduced it enough to know why.

Unforunately the red, green and yellow buttons dont appear on my map, so cant start the orders. Even more unfortunate, i cant seem to Disable the mod. Any help here appretiated.
