very nice, thanks mate exactly what i needed. i hope i can realize what i have in mind...

Hi
could you re-upload it please?
Your website is down
Thanks in advance
PD: or someone could send me his pdf

hi, i am a beginner for scripting,.. the page 1 top post "link" is not dead but i cant open any of the "icons" does not say when the site wil be back up.

Some websites like this are either down or just simply dont work now. Especially early guides like this.

You could always head on over to Xai Corporation they may have something. Just type it in google and you'll find it.

Or checkout the X3 stuff as some things may just be the same.

i'm like 99.9% i've still got this somewhere if you pm me your emails i'll send it this evening. I can;t upload it as it's not mine
p.s. thank the RNG and a bad mouse as i was clicking XTC Scripts and Modding

there are no download link on the site.

The reasons, why there is no download link, didn't change in the last years. The author of the guide wasn't online for about 6 years and unfortunately there is nothing like eternal availability in the internet.
You could PM cattafett, which said a post over yours, that he still have the tutorial (though his post is also over a year old). Another possibilty would be to download a different tutorial. The MSCI Programmer's Handbook provided by Egosoft gives also some basic instructions into scripting and can be downloaded from the Download section -> X2 -> Bonus Material.

Ive just got back from multiple operational tours in real life, x-source is coming back to life and ill get this scripting guide up as soon as possible.

Sorry for any incovience for last couple of years

That large pdf is a hard to digest...A new tutorial would be awesome...

Unless you like shopping for shoes that is

Hey guys,this script editor thing is not working i have tried it in space and while docked with the T CAPPED. and in lower case nothing works,this is what i did i undocked stopped my ship clicked on the pilot tab then the change name then changed it to Thereshallbewings,and i get nothing am i doing something wrong?

Which game are you playing now? X2: The Threat or X3: Reunion, as your other posts in the Technical Support forum suggest?

In X2: The Threat you have to type in 'Thereshallbewings' while being in space. Changing your playername was first introduced with X3R.

In any case, there are two reasons why activating the Script Editor may not work:
1. You made a mistake, when typing in Thereshallbewings. You mentioned the capital T already, but make sure that you also have the double 'l' (i.e. two lowercase 'L's). You need to make a little pause between the key press of the same letter. Otherwise the game will not recognize it.
2. The Script Editor was already activated.

Quoting myself here, since this is still relevant. Only that the inactivity of the author meanwhile increased to 12 years.

Yep, it is 2023, and I just felt the need to look into X2 scripting. And of course, the above mentioned scripting guide is no longer there, the domain now owned by some company as it seems.

But as the saying goes, the internet does not forget. So for anybody needing the guide in 2023 here is a link to the scripting guide on the internets eternal memory, a.k.a wayback machine / archive.org:
