Hi,
First off, thanks for a great Mod, it works as advertised.
However, I've been doing a lot of building for the HUB plot, and realised i needed more cash, as you do. Went off to do some fighting, and noticed that my PBG were broken. The flamethrower effect still works, but there is no damage caused by it.
I seriously doubt this Mod caused the problem, as from previous posts it doesn't mention anything about modifying the laser properties, however as everything was working prior to this I'm stumped. Uninstalling this doesn't work, and i've even dialled back a few other scripts going back a few days, and I still have no PBG!!
Going to try installing the 2.5 patch again, and if that fails i think it's game over, time for a clean install., unless anyone has anyother suggestions.
Thanks again for the Mod!

As long as the models are stations, yes. Stations always seem to have unlimited docking.kurush wrote:Does this mean that it is possible to add docking ports to other models without breaking vanilla? For example, add internal docking for fighters on equipment docks?
Ships have limits set in the TShips (as far as I know), which modification would cause a modified-tag.
Yeah, I figured that. No docking on M2 Still, I think it could be possible allow to enable TS docking on TL without breaking vanilla. Sweet, if only I have timeSaetan wrote: As long as the models are stations, yes. Stations always seem to have unlimited docking.

No one reported before, I never tested ... thanks for your info, I'll fix that once ... in the meanwhile I suggest to undock the Ray while beeing OoS.
If you like to help me:
Can you tell me, where the Ray touches the complex hub? Or is there maybe a collision with another docked capital?
Best regards
Saetan

Hmmm I don't know if it has anything to do with vanilla or this but I am using this mod. It could be that the Ray is just too large for the Complex hub. I haven't tried letting the AI undock it, every time it goes up in flames is when I am in the thing. Maybe it's just one of those ships that should never be docked with a complex hub due to it's size, among the ships out there the Ray is one of the largest by size for a destroyer
Vanilla can't dock any capitals at compelx hubs so it's for sure, that taht bug is caused by that mod.
I have to move the docking point for capitals to fix that, but therefore it would be good to know where the Ray collides with the station or other docked capitals.
But I can look myself too, just have to start X³:TC again some time. I'm not playing anymore for quite a few weeks now.

My best guess with where the Ray is colliding with the Hub would be the nose of the ship, it is not only bulky in the sides but also bulky in width.
I guess I guess right in placing that this mod was the cause. Also when the Ray goes up in smoke so does the complex hub and along with any ship docked to the hub

This should be a problem with your own pc!vizerei wrote:I love the idea for this mod.
However, when I copy the .cat/.dat files to my directory and attempt to load a saved game I get the "Save game may be corrupt" error. When I remove your mod, my save games load fine. Any idea why this is?
I'm running this on steam so definitely the latest patch. Also running a bunch of other mods like the Terraformer Hub fix, Complex Cleaner, MARS, and maybe 1 or 2 other insignificant mods (can't remember what they were)
I had this error sometimes in X3 Reunion with some savegames [without mods/sctripts]
Have you Install all Patches + Bonuspatches & Reinstall the Game?
Or maybe or Savegame itself is corrupt...

Bin ja schon gespannt was Egosoft nach der x-Reihe zu stande bringen wird.. [I Hope for good Fortune!!!]

I may be out of legue here but could it be a comatability issue with the complex cleaner and this mod?
Not too sure on the inner workings of this mod. But if it messes with Tfactories (witch I would assume it could be possible) and noticing that the complex cleaner mod states:
"Combining Mods
Complex Cleaner mods TFactories.txt
It will be incompatible to any other mod that touches TFactories.txt ....." I could see an incompatability issue...
moreover, I could also see an incompatability if the cleaner is dependant on the vanilla complex hub model witch is replaced by this mod. (Not sure if the cleaner mod would just take whatever model is avaliable and use it)
again im not very tech savvy so please take anything i say with a grain of salt. and please I want to learn so dont hesitate to tell me a thing or 2

This mod only changes the model- and scene-file of the complex hab, therefore no incompatibility issue with the TFactories.
The corrupt savegame issue is typically, if something is missing and can't be found to be loaded but saved inside the savegame. Should not happen here, except another mod got removed by accident.
Another reason could may be, if X has problems to load docked ships on the old hub for the new hub. I could think of misplaced ships like TS moved to internal or external dockings.
Anyway, if such a corrupt savegame error occurs, I guess you saved your game while being in a sector which has at least one complex hub? Then I suggest to leave it, move to a sector without hub, save the game, install the mod, load the game, enter a sector with complex hub.
Then it should work. If not, you could try to undock any ships of a hub while being OoS and to re-dock 'ehm later.

When you say it, i remember somehing strange..
I only have corrupt Savegames, when i was in Sectors with 2-5 Complexes and other Stuff like that...
I should try, what you say.
Maybe my old savegames [2 Years Real-Playtime in X3 Reunion] is not dead. ^^
PM: Sorry for My English, but i´m not very good at this
