[Director] Plot Skipper Tool (Alpha v0.5)

Only thing overtly doing bad in skipping OFF would be some ships leftover and depending on where you are perhaps an invulnerable station, cheat package should be able to clean those up if they get annoying.

So let's see If I get this right...and forgive my dumbness if I am doing it wrong.
I started bankrupt assasin so I am adding this code based on what you pasted just before the bankrupt assasin entry in the 3.05 gamestart file:
Since the Bankarrupt assasin start is number 106 I changed that one, and Im just setting Plot 3 to be skipped as I want to skip the Khaa'k Plot, right?
Thanks for your patience.

edit:
With this Im not seeing it skipped, neither in my actual save or on a new start...
I guess Im doing something wrong

Don't think the gamestart mission file is called again after the initial set up.
Make a new file with:
Name it khaakskip.xml.

I don't see any effect...
How is it supposed to be called? automatically?
Do you get any messages when it skips it
I still see there are just the khaak sectors I discovered and Im still Operation Final Fury Trainee - 82%.
I completely forgot how to use MD so If I am probably missing something obvious.
List of files:
L\true\gamestarts.xml
director\Plot Skipper.xml
director\3.05 Gamestart Missions.xml
director\whatever.xml

Im in the chat tool from egosoft if you can do more realtime convo to test this.

Can this be used to skip the "a New Home" plot if it is already started?
I'm at the point where you have to hack the #cafe ship. Oh, and I really hate puzzles, Sudoku puzzles I despise with a passion. Personally I think this plot realy sucks out the arse.
I'm really not sure how to use this as well. I would be very grateful of any help here.

Been with the X-series from the beginning. If it happens in the X_Universe I've been there done that several times over.

Not recommended but it should work. Just use the cheat thingy to destroy any remaining unwanted ships.
For version 0.5, make a new text file and save it as [tc]\director\skipsomeplots.xml, next paste this code in (change the reward to the sector you want):
Then simply start up the game and the text should pop up saying it has been completed. Post back if the mission briefing was not removed, may need to do that separately.
Alternate method that worked for me would be using an online solver then entering it by hand. Never did suduko before this, really don't see why it's fun... the puzzle before was entertaining though. Start the game with low settings and in a smaller window so you can enter everything faster.

Thanks Aro.
I made it through the first hack, took a couple of tries. But, I saved before I started it, that made it easier as I just reloaded once I figured out the first three numbers. That gave me plenty of tries before it booted me on the second go around. Then I did as you suggested for the Sudoku part of it.
And the last password I found in the walk-through, so all is well in my little universe now.
Still, I am going to keep your little bit of code around. Might come in handy at a later date. As I do from time to time start a new game, just for the fun of it. ot sure if I remember how many times I played through X-BTF and XTension, same goes for X2 and X3R as well. Guess I'm just a glutton for punishment that way.
Thanks again.

If you like punishment it would be possible to replicate the BTF start in TC...
Actually that would be funny. Not with the BTF story though as the Superbox is coming out.
It's about time to work on those missions that had been started...
Crud, going to have to redo the changes that were done after the last game start zip was made.
Next version of the Plot Skipper should fix the current issues, or at least give a slight work-around to the one odd one.

Aro I really like this script. However I am running into an interesting issue. I am skipping the Terran plot and it does successfully skip it. However when I go to Omicron Lyrea I'm getting the escort the Terran diplomats. The only start this doesn't seem to effect is any of the Terran starts.
"Gir Fetch me that pig!!"
Ok, quick question. My computer is somewhat old and slow, and I have a number of mods on my computer. I seem to recall (though I can't find it) that to prevent cheats this scripts would prevent launching after 5 seconds.
Either way, it's not launching when I boot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've gotten this to work, and not having to go through the first four plots is AMAZING.
Please and Thank you.
