[EMP]Extended Mod Pack (2.7 compatible) [Not needed for latest Plugin Manager]

[Jordanhooge]

Hi Cycrow LV and all other great modders here,

First off, thanks for all your work on this game , your mods make X3 the game it should be . , For me I wouldn't be playing if you folks weren't on the scene.

okay , so enough of the props,,

I am having a problem with wares not showing up, most do, however the slipstream drive, and Advanced Hyperdrive, turbo booster, and the bulk transporter for sure are showing up as

" SW_ware_sw new numbered 1-20 " roughly ,

and then

SW_ware_sw x3tc , numberd 2-6
,
there may be a couple of others I haven't figured out yet,

they have worked on previous installs with the same mods in place .
Any advice here, would be great,

Thanks again, Ensign Jordan

[Jordanhooge]

.PS ,, my focus is to get the slipstream drive going , I love that mod it makes the game so much more enjoyable, it would be cool if the AI could use it too . the game would get wicked

[Cycrow]

the SS_WARE_SS and X3TC ones are the built in wares, they are always there, and nothing to do with EMP.

when you say showing up, do you mean they are for sale in factories, or do u mean you some them somewhere else ?

[Jordanhooge]

Hi, thanks for the response,,



Ya , so by showing up I mean, The wares are not being displayed at equipment docks, or if they are they are named in the sw_wares format. Actually for some reason the advanced hyperdrive stuff is now showing , but slipstream and a few others aren't

Actually I'm noticing that the wares display list in stations, menus and MSCI will blink back and forth (within the same game session) between displaying the wares from the Advanced Jumpdrive set. Except I actually get the ZA_WTF_EMP (and not SW_WTF_SS) in the list when the names don't display properly. Was installed SPK version.

Hi, bit of silly question possibly. Is there a way to install this using Crycrow's plugin installer, last time I tried fiddling with some files in the game directory it buggered my game up completely. I saw that there was a similar post above this but the author seemed to work it out. I've downloaded the files but the only files within the .rar are the .dat and .cat files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry if this is a simple question with a simple answer, I tend to look too deeply sometimes and miss what's right in front of me

I tend to look too deeply sometimes and miss what's right in front of me

did you miss the picture tutorial in the first post?

there isn't a cycrow package i'm aware of

[jak893]

Hi
No I did see the picture tutorial, I was just checking to see if I had missed anything relating to a Crycrow version. Thanks for the speedy reply.

Hi Cycrow,

I've run into a similar problem as mentioned above with items not showing up in a station's inventory. It specificially deals with the DMA mod and items that should show up inside the DMA HQ trade menu. I spoke briefly with LV and his assessment was that the EMP wasn't installed correctly. Here is what is (still) showing up:

I have re-installed the emp mod, and rtfm'd as much info on the mod as I could find but the items that should show up in the top 3 spots: emergency jump generator, subspace cloak generator and shield transfer generator still fail to show up correctrly, as shown in the image above. I really love the DMA mod but don't want to continue further till I can get the emp working correctly.

Is there a way I can test the installation to see if the EMP has installed correctly? I'm not new to game modding, but haven't even touched any of the modding tools or try to make any of my own scripts yet for this game so I'm at a bit of a loss in terms of troubleshooting, and doing something that would forcibly invoke the script (and hopefully pop up some kind of useful error in which to work from).

[DIGSIN]

Give me a list of every script and mod you have installed and i will check this out for you.

[Azalyn]

I've got a lot, any that can be installed via the plugin manager have been done so in that manner, here's what I'm currently using:

Grax Marine Trainer
EMP
Super Tractor Beam (one that moves astroids)
DMA 1.21
lv.lib.1.7
AdvancedHyperDrive(AHD)-V2.0-09.04.2009 (the quantum hyperdrive)
Bulk Beam Transporter
Cargo Delivery Service V2.02
CheatCollectionPackage-V1.50-02.06.2009
CommunityPluginConfiguration-V1.20-03.06.2009
Comp Cleaner
EquipmentResearchandDevelopment-V1.00-03.06.2009
Factory_Complex_Constructor_4.01_PLUS
Gates No Rep Loss
ImprovedBoarding-V1.10-28.10.2008
lazcorp_crystal_free_spp_v1_02
Marine Repairs
MARS
rff_selective
nividium.processing.plant.v.1.0
TheMarauderShipyard-v0.5-23.01.2009
TheTravelingMechanic-v0.2-03.12.2008
WareManager-V1.00-31.05.2009

So far all the other mods/scripts have performed flawlessly. Certain aspects of DMA function perfectly (like the increase engine speed, increase race relations, buy sector, research blueprints, specialist stations) its just the items I'm most looking forward to are the ones that seem to be failing from the emp

[LV]

looks to me like the new emp is not recognised by dma, if it wasn't for the fact im getting an error running the exe i'd tell you if the old version was ok on swapping

anybody know why i'm getting file not found 'x3config' on running the exe?

[Azalyn]

Formatted my laptop this weekend and switched OS's. I'll be doing a clean install of X3TC, specifically for the EMP and LV libraries, should I use the exe installer or manually put all the files into the proper folders? Hopefully the problem will resolve itself after the install.

[Marodeur]

Is this version compatible with 2.5?

[milytar]

are there SPK file to or must only use ZIP files!
PS!I'm really stupid with theese stuff!

[Thrandisher]

I know im a week old with this post for Azalyn, but heres something ive noticed with your problem with blank items. If i have emp as a early cab file, my items go blank, if i keep it towards the end, it will work.

10 = low poly roids
11 = signal boost
12 = Different starts
13 = SRM
14 = No Civil
15 = Missle Redone Mod
16 = pc0s cockpit
17 = X2 Ships
18 = EMP

Thost are my cab files with what they are. I had EMP as #12 on the list with my starts as #18. All my emp items were blank. I switched them around and everything is fine in game.

[LV]

interesting, i updated to 2.5 and only have emp as a FP and it works fine, if this can be confirmed as a solution i'll alter the advice, in addition i may have to write emp as alplugin to cater for the wares reverting to ZA_~

[aka1nas]

2.5 didn't have a new Twares, so the EMP should be compatible. Did Cycrow's Plugin Manager create any new CAT/DAT pairs(if you were using it)?

[Thrandisher]

Ive always used the rar/zip/fp version myself. I have always remembered emp being a bit finicky back in the x3R day's. Alteast it has for me.

I did try useing the spk one at one time in my weekly reinstall's and i think that is where i had the moment of sobriety and traced it down to location location location (for me atleast).


I think i had problems with JDK alot when it came out, and it wasnt untill i started useing EMP at the end or towards the end of my fp list, that it started working fine for me.

[DIGSIN]

@Azalyn sorry for the late reply, on a clean install everything shows up in the EMP, so it must be some mod (if any) else you have installed.

@everyone else, if you are using another mod that also edits the TwareT file, then it should to go after the EMP, otherwise the edited TwareT entries the mod uses will revert to the original settings.

PS
As aka1nas says it is 2.5 compatible
