We are planning a story and whe would like to give it in several languages without having to tell the user "this should go here, that should go there", and so on. I know that zipping all stuff maintains the directory tree when unzipped, but it could overwrite other files as well. Putting all in a false patch could reduce this risk.
I admit I am not an expert of X3 programming at all: this is actually my first approach to the world of scripting-modding-missiondirectoring in X3 so maybe some issues have been discussed before somewhere else...

I got the external text solution by reading this post thoroughly
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=2346344
and the 2 posts underneath that one
I suppose it would be a good thing to either make a new PDF with the right explanations (eg the example explained in the booklet will NEVER work as it misses the starting load_file tag) or by adjusting the files suplied in the first post!!!
Or maybe both?
Or maybe just writing an addendum in the first post saying how the external text may be linked in the game!
Ah! By the way: it should be also important to say that the dmp file has been disabled (or how one can enable it), as it is another wrong info placed in the PDF! I spend hours in trying to understand how this thing works!!!
So... to make it clear...
* external texts:
- the structure of the example (BM47_XXXT.xml and the accompagnying text) is right BUT: the first bit of the text call MUST be the same as the pageid tag in the text (in the example the leading "3" is missing both in the calling bit AND in the text file) AND the text filename MUST be the same as the one called in load_text PRECEDED by the language code!!!
* director.dmp: it has been disabled due to performance issues
* detailed script (gate race)
- missing the load_text tag (add in the action part of the prepare cue <load_text fileid="
1081">)
- missing the text file, but the name for this example to work MUST BE
391081.xml and the structure is anyway very simple:
Code: Select all
<language id="39"><!-- your language code, remember to set the filename to this code + the pageid code -->
<page id="[b]1081[/b]" desc="whatever you want">
<t id="0"> </t>
<t id="1"> bla bla bla </t>
<t id="2"> hipty dipty doo </t>
<t id="3">Sim Sal Bim</t>
<t id="4">Dart Vader</t>
<t id="5">and so on</t>
</page>
</language>
Hope this helps...

you could of course jsut use the plugin manager and create your mod in a spk file so its installed automatically for you

Of course! Positive contributions are always welcome.
Now it finished.
As I can see EGOSOFT doesn't need Russian translation. Is it true?

Hello,
I've just recently started playing X3 and since I like playing around with editors and stuff (and I wanted to add some entertaining BBS quests to the game), I thought I'd get myself acquainted with the Mission Director. I thought I'd modify a sample mission first, so I took the escort mission. Here's the code:

Now, I've run into two problems with the mission.
1) It seems that if I code a version of the mission, make it run the instantiated cue, then correct the mission and try to reload, it will not launch again, not even when I reset the Mission Director. It looks like there's a quest ID lingering in the saved file that won't go away with the MD reset and that prevents it from adding a new BBS item. When I change the cue and quest names, however (hence the weird cue names above) and reset the MD, the quest instantly appears.
2) This might be related to the previous one - when I manage to finish the quest (I get my rewards etc.), it does not reappear in the quest list on the BBS. Again, even if I reset the MD, it won't appear again.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how to remedy this?

Hello Ilintar. When I first started making the BBS missions, I came to the conclusion that it was broken. I spent days trying to get them to work on the bbs with no success. So I decided to try a different approach.
Instead of having them show up on bbs, I decided to have an incoming message asking if I wanted to do a mission. So far the way I do it now has been working great. I've modified the missions a lot but here is a simple one which it can be changed around to suit your needs. Enable script editor, fly to the wall and 45 seconds later you will get an incoming message. You are more than welcome to change the file around anyway you would like. Hope this helps.

Yeah, but the problem is the tradeoff between scripting and playing. If one were able to add the missions to the BBS, one could actually enjoy the game and have his custom-made missions pop once in a while. With preprogrammed missions, you have to actually remember to trigger them, disable them when you need them so that they don't appear suddenly etc.
So, I'm looking for a way to make the BBS missions work, I'll try to look into it myself if I find some more time.

I advise you read Stu's post again, but slower.
Instead of having them show up on bbs, I decided to have an incoming message asking if I wanted to do a mission.
So there is not really a big difference, to the BBS missions. You get them, you read them and you accept them or not.
I think its an acceptable compromise.

I think I quite explicitly noted where I see the difference, but once again:
1) With BBS missions, you can play your game normally and not worry about _specific_ conditions that have to be met for your mission to appear.
2) With custom-made missions triggered on entry to some sector, you can actually have it interrupt your game (say, you're travelling a lot through The Wall doing some trading), so you have to turn them on and off continuously.
I'm not saying his solution is bad, I'm just saying I'm still hoping there's a way to integrate the missions from MD into the game in a way that will make it transparent for the typical player.

Ok then lets see if I can say this:
BBS inclusion is NOT working, as Stu and others came to know after trying for a very long time.
Having said that:
Ilintar wrote:1) With BBS missions, you can play your game normally and not worry about _specific_ conditions that have to be met for your mission to appear.
How you set the conditions its up to you so I don't see a difference, since it would be the same for BBS (yes those also need conditions).
2) With custom-made missions triggered on entry to some sector, you can actually have it interrupt your game (say, you're travelling a lot through The Wall doing some trading), so you have to turn them on and off continuously.
Make the incoming message pop up only when the player is docked. Also its up to you to decide how often the same mission will appear and if random or not.
I think you are missing the point that using incoming message does not imply that a mission must be static. Its just the "delivery" of the mission that differs, everything else its just about the same.

When using the MD how does one go about adding or removing notoriety?
When ever I try to add it I get no lookup for any attributes. I also can't seem to find anything showing how to us this command.
One small example is all I need
YB

Code: Select all
<reward_player>
<notoriety>
<relation race="argon" exact="10000"/>
</notoriety>
</reward_player>
No lookup is needed.
Note that you can use min/max instead of exact.
If you want to set a specific notoriety rank you will have to do this in two steps.
Code: Select all
<set_value name="this.notorietyvaluerank2" exact="{lookup.notoriety@notop2}"/>
This will give you the exact value of the 2nd positive rank
Code: Select all
<reward_player>
<notoriety>
<relation race="argon" exact="{value@this.notorietyvaluerank2}-{player.notoriety.argon}"/>
</notoriety>
</reward_player>
Here you add the full amount of the notoriety, but since it gets added you just remove the existing amount that the player has to that specific race (argon in this case).
As an alternative you can just lookup the amounts yourself and replace the set_value step with those.
Hope this helps.

While I'm waiting for TC to come out, I'm planning to revist X3 to get back into the swing of things but would rather have some new missions to do while I'm there.
I read of the Mission Director a while ago, but I can't find much content, there are only two missions in the sticky at the top of the page...

...am I looking in the wrong place, is there anything else.
Can anyone help.

Those are the only ones I know of.
The mission director is relatively new. People need to learn it and test what it can do before they are able to start producing missions with it. There isn't an established base of people familiar with it as there was with the script editor when X3 came out.

is there a command dictionary:stating what each commands function is;
im not use to these high level languages;so use to programming in assembly without an assembler/editor.((z80 & 6502)the ancients languages)
if its not designed for x3 then surly someone could write a compiler???
anyone remember what a R.O.M. did? but a rom kept processing the code continually;making the programme slow and with high level languages,there are things you just cant do as with machine code(Assembly).

what do you need a compiler for ?
the mission director is not a programming language, its designed for a very specific task, creating missions via the use of game events.
due to the use of xml and the schema, theres no need for a "command dictionary" as everything you need is explained in the schema, you jsut need to use a program that can understand it

All you need is the VWD 2005 Express Edition which can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Website.

And for the "Command Dictionary" just open director.htm in the Director Folder with any Browser such as Internet Explorer. It lists all available Commands, Variables and stuff that you can use and explains briefly what they do.
