There are 2 issues that come up for me while using this script.

1. Dropping toll figs
2. Hanging on the mine prompt after starting ppt (ie ...do you want to avoid this sector y/n)

I think I found the solution to both but I had to dig down to the PPT.ts include to find it.

Fix for the hang at the enemy mine avoid prompt
Code:
if ($SectorB < 600) or (SECTORS > 5000)
#changed "*" to "*z*"
    send $SectorB "*z*"

and

if ($SectorA < 600) or (SECTORS > 5000)
#changed "*" to "*z*"
    send $SectorA "*z*"



Fix for dropping toll figs instead of def figs
Code:
  if ($SectorA <> STARDOCK) and ($SectorA > 10)
    # drop a fig if we have to
    if ($DropFigs = 1)
    #changed "f1*ct" to "f1*cd"
      send "f1*cd"

and

if ($SectorB <> STARDOCK) and ($SectorB > 10) and ($DropFigs = 1)
     #changed "f1*ct" to "f1*cd"
      send "f1*cd"
    end



I am attaching my fixed PPT.ts if anyone wants to try it out. Save your old one lol

I'm sorry to necro this.

I'm just returning to this game and wanted to use world trade again. Anywho - it hangs on mines and I saw your fix.

I'm not entirely sure how to use your fix :( Is there anyway you could give me a quick rundown on how to use it?

Thanks a ton

Ok, so my world trade script tries to drop a mine and crashes. You posted a fix, and I have absolutely no idea how to use it :( I was wondering if there was anyway you could post a quick "How to"

thanks a ton :)

Ok, maybe the file has been changed but your updates above don;t match the structure of the new file. Can you please recheck your fixes against the newest file posted on twxproxy?

Actually, I think my problem is that I don't have a holo scanner, just density.

Well it seems there is a problem if someone has Voids set, I normally clear all mine and run on paranoid to avoid issues. Should be able to resolve the issue if I have time this weekend.
