When is the last time you ran a defrag on your hard drive? I've noticed it makes a big difference in game play for me since I just defragmented my own, and X3 plays noticeably smoother.

Xtm, correct me if I'm wrong, works as a false patch and therefore you cannot turn it on/off like you can with DDRS etc.
Your savegames won't work with xtm as is standard amogst any other mods as they require you to start again to initiate the scripts properly.
Xtm will make the second mission near impossible and will do countless things that will change the main campaign(not story wise but things have been altered so be warned).
I personally, however, have not downloaded XTM due to the heafty download size.
Though if It was broken up into smaller parts I would definitely download it(I have a 100meg download limit per file on my PDA).
Any way just browse the xtm thread so you can see what other users have to say.

Well I've played the plot through with XTM and didn't have an issue with the second mission or infact any of the plot.

Anyway, i've a few questions.
I've never used any mods in my game, but now many people are talking about the Extended(XTM) mod and i'm thinking of downloading it to see the fuss is about. I just have a few concerns, however about how it will affect the rest of the game. Therefore i was wondering.
Can i start a new game with the mod and continue to play my existing saved games independently? - If not would i have to remove the mod to play my older games again?
Also, is the mod easy to remove if i don't like it?
I've heard people say the system requirements are higher for the mod than the regular game. I've never had trouble playing X3 as it stands on my PC with a 3.2 ghz Pentium 4 chip, 1 GB of memory and 256 MB Nvidia 6200 graphics card - is this set up adequate for the mod?
Finally i've also heard of there being many bugs in the mod.

I highly suggest you make two installs, one for vanilla and one for XTended; if possible install and play the second copy with a different windows account so that savegames are automatically separated otherwise you will have to manually rename the savegames folder before launching the game to avoid loading the wrong save.

Is there any way for me to erase the terracorp shipyard from the map in Home of Light? that thing is giving serious problems since i first started the game because once i dock at the Headquarters, the station menu is completely gone and for some reason I'm now docked in the shipyard...

Without the menu i cannot buy or undock, and as you may know, jump drives are really handy, but i can't buy one because of this..

Oh, and the shipyard isn't even physical, i can't see it, but it shows on the map, and it's location is exactly the same as the headquarters.

Thanks for your help

A dual install sounds like a good solution. I know how to create another windows account. As for a second install, wouldn't all the same programs be installed on the new account as the first ? - If not would i need a second copy of the game?
Also If windows does view the game in two accounts as different games and i try installing the mod on one, will the other be unaffected?

Got the xtm to work, at least the new sectors and new ships are there, but the ship descriptions go like this "Argon readtext 17-XXXXX". All the new ships and sectors have this, any way to fix it?

Thanks

Did you install the script pack for XTM?

Strange error.
please check, in your t subdirectory of X3 directory must be exist next files:
447212.xml
447213.xml
447214.xml
447215.xml
447216.xml
447217.xml

Are You use any additional scripts and mods?

Hi Guys

I thought I posted this one already but cant find it now.

I have the XTM mod installed and its cool.

I went hunting for the M3 Nova in the sector west and south of Maelstrom.

I found a blinking huge sphere of some description and bunch of enemy ships - sohams or somthing similar, but no Nova.

Did it move or did I jut get the co-ords wrong. y=-12, z=1, x=-19

Many Thanks
Smiles

hi all,
i'm currently downloading xtm,, i seem to remember that it was recommended to download cycrow's script installer, is this correct and if so can someone provide a link. this is the first time i've tried a mod. and i want it to be as easy as possible.

thanks to all

Yes, you need the Installer: Link

Do you have the Treasure Hunt script installed?
I think its that one. It moves all the ships to different random locations, and adds more free floating stuff.

Maybe a Khaak came through and destroyed it?

Vitez · Post by **Vitez** » Fri, 10. Aug 07, 12:18

Someone plaese help! I re-installed X3, no mods/scripts are on, downloaded the newest patch. Downloaded the xsp and rar, installed the things in the .rar to C:\Program Files\DeepSilver\X3 Reunion, installed, but nothings happening. PLease help! (+can I install LV's cheat after it?)
Thanks!

pjknibbs · Post by **pjknibbs** » Fri, 10. Aug 07, 17:06

What do you mean, "nothing's happening"? The game is playing as normal as if you didn't have the mod installed? The game won't run at all? Your computer has just died? Which is it?

Vitez · Post by **Vitez** » Fri, 10. Aug 07, 19:37

Sorry

"Nothings happening": the game is running as if I didnt install the XTM. Nutnoze had the same problem here http://www.thexuniverse.com/viewtopic.php?t=6106
