Auto Docking Maneuver Request

[Amitabho]

I would like to have the ability to dock easily. By that, I mean that what I want to happen when I press the "d" key from about 1 km away from a base is that my ship will autopilot to the nearest unused port and dock without my help.

I have not been able to dock on anything that isn't a planet because of the lack of this feature.

Welcome Amitabho.There is auto-docking it is just not turned on in the config file so try editing vegastrike.config the one in .vegastrike0.5 not the one in the data folder

Code: Select all

<section name="AI">
			<var name="AlwaysFireAutotrackers" value="false"/>
			<var name="CommToPlayerPercent" value="0"/>
			<var name="ContrabandToPlayerPercent" value="0"/>
			<var name="turn_cheat" value="false"/>
			<var name="max_allowable_travel_time" value="10"/>
			<var name="too_close_for_warp_tactic" value="8000"/>
			<var name="autodock" value="false"/>
			<var name="startDockedTo" value="Atlantis"/>
			<var name="dockOnLoad" value="true"/>
			<var name="kill_factor" value=".2"/>
			<var name="friend_factor" value=".1"/>
			<var name="ContrabandUpdateTime" value="1"/>
			<var name="CommInitiateTime" value="300"/>
			<var name="ContrabandInitiateTime" value="3000"/>
			<section name="Targetting">

just change the value of "<var name="autodock" value="false"/>" from false to true and please let me know if it works now there have been lots of changes in the code since it was last turned on so it may not work as expected

Enjoy the Choice

Hmm... I'm using the Mac version, and I can't find the folders. Any idea how to find them?
