I JUST updated my computer today and previously was using xp pro. so Im still not very familiar with what Win 7 does and what it is compatible with. It appears that the other scripts are working fine at least as long as they dont contain cat/dat files.
im getting some read text errors i think that are related to the emp being a mod in an spk. not really sure though.
10.cat/dat do exist already as a fake patch.
after further looking there are a number of cats/dats inside .spks that seem to work. the Millitary Hud mod is functional.

I'm not certain if its a flaw in the manager or the script. I tryed tossing in the cheating script (Because I'll be damned if I'm loosing 30 hours of progress just because I had to format, but that's neither here nor there)
Here's the problem, the scripts functionality doesn't apear in the game. And every time I open the manager back up, it doesn't display any scripts as being installed. Installing the scripts, again, doesn't help, as soon as I re-start the game, same problem. And when I quit and re-open the manager, its displaying no installed scripts, again.

Hi,
is it possible, that the manager messes with custom wares? Because most wares added by scripts, like those from the AHD-script are way overpriced (several tens of millions).
What was interesting is that when i did a clean install step by step to check which script may have caused this, the prices were fine until after the last script/mod/fake patch had been installed i closed the plugin manager (yes, i started the x3tc client with the manager still open while testing, a mistake).
And yes, i have a ton of scripts and mods installed, so one of that might still be the cause, but it only appeared after a fresh install using the lite plugin manager instead of the old one.

Just a quick word of warning to Windows 7 users.
Windows 7 has a problem when copying over files with the same name. Especially if you copy paste a file with the same name to update a file for example.
This problem will occure using the plugin manager but is more frequent when extracting zipped up files. The file details in the explorer window will say the file has been updated but if you check the contents of the file you will find you still have the old file.
You can delete the file, empty your recycle bin, restart your computer, copy the new file to the old location and it will show the new file attributes BUT, will be a copy of the old file.
A solution i found was to copy the new file with a different name (just temp rename it) onto the folder and then rename it back after you have it in the folder, sounds strange but it works.
I ran into this problem and have had no responce as to a solution from Microsoft as yet. Apparently Windows 7 RC (the Release Candidate) is bad for it.
Hope this helps if your having problems and your running Windows 7.

ps- just reinstalled lite v1 and got a message that x3tc is being controlled by old version of plugin manager, but i have already deleted that version of the plugin manager, so not sure why i would receive this message

thanks
my x3tc game continues to freeze and then crash upon loading into the in-game options menu. here's the description of the problem, in case you suspect it might be due to some sort of pluginmanager/script-related problem:
the game boots to the main game screen options menu (past the egosoft launcher in windows), locks up and then crashes.
i suspect that having 2 versions of x plugin manager (lite v1 and another version) might have been conflicting, so i uninstalled both. x3tc still locks and crashes so i uninstalled and reinstalled it. no joy- same problem. an error message appears but for such a brief moment that i cannot read what it says
i am running windows 7 64bit, and had no problems with running x3tc until recently. i suspect it's due to some conflicting mod or script, which is why i uninstalled and reinstalled the game, hoping that would clear it out and let me run it clean. no luck, it seems. though i looked through the x3 terran conflict folder and it looks vanilla (i.e., no cat or dats above 07
are there any other steps i need to follow to make sure i wipe any residual scripts or mods or whatever taht might be conflicting?
in x plugin mangaer lite v1, i selected vanilla mode, which runs the games without any scripts. still locking up and crashing, though.
i notice i have some scripts dated 2/06/09- not sure if these are bonus scripts included in the 2.0 aldirin missions version (top one is setup.plugin.autotrade and bottom 2/06/09 one is !config.add.wares.few.one). thinking they are.
ps- running 2.0 aldirin missions and found it odd that, after having registered it, the auto update tells me it is up to date-- doesn't it need the 2.0>2.1 patch and then the 2.1>2.5 patch?
went ahead and updated from 2>2.1>2.5. game locks up and crashes in same way with every version.

its unlikly its the plugin manager causing the lock up.
i assume you mean it happens on the main menu screen, ie, before you get to load or start a new game ?
nothing the plugin manager does can effect that, as all the files it creates are not loaded until you start the actual game
also, setting it to vanilla mode, should remove all files and be like it was never there as far as the game is concered.
i would suggest trying the 1.01 -> 2.5 patch, as it sounds like you have something messed up somewhere. The big patch should fix up any problems with patches, its just a bigger download
if that dont work, it might be worth reinstalling the game
