[MOD] [TC/AP] X3 Rebalance Mod (XRM) - Total conversion - v1.30d (02.12.13)

[BlackArchon]

You're welcome! But I'm not the mod author, I just happen to really like XRM and so I did spend maybe a little bit too much time with it.

After a longer break from X3 I'm back again. During my break I simply forgotten many XRM related things...

Can you play the following plots in AP XRM?

Shady Business
Corporation Troubles
Breaking Grounds

First post also says about Corporate plots from TC being implemented in AP. Are these exactly the same where you can earn rare ships?

[BlackArchon]

I'm holding you personally responsible for making me start XRM. It's your fault that I now feel the urge to start a new XRM game. I hope you are satisfied!

To answer your questions: "Corporation Troubles" is in XRM, I just got the quest. Since this works, "Breaking Grounds" should also be available. "Shady Business" I have never seen. But I also have to admit that I have never done any plots in XRM, so please takt this with a grain of salt.
There are also the special corporation missions where you can increase your rank with them, so they should give you the usual rewards - but again, I never bothered to do so.

During last 15 months I had tons of fun with Elite Dangerous, now I came to the point where I need to park my ship for a month or two and cool off. Generally during last three years my overall time spent in X3 was like ~30 hours, mostly played Litcube Universe mod, but I must say - all that fleet management, micro management, "GOING BIG" isn't really my thing, plus there are some ugly ships that I can't even look at. I prefer more action oriented X3 and XRM despite obvious flaws is my choice. There is also XTC mod which I highly value as well. Probably will dive into it later on, and do a few informative streams with commentary for new players on twitch.

I also checked X4, but it was, rather disappointing experience for me, too much Rebirth in this title... I was really excited about X4, but in the end this wasn't anything I expected, so I bounced off this title for good. I don't think if Egosoft is going to impress me again like they did with X2 or X3. Seriously - their opus magnum, a game you can take to desert island.

Hello,

did anyone deal with this problem with USC heavy towers?

I'd like to start playing X3 again, but with some total conversion mod. XRM looks really good, but USC ships are my favorites and these towers spoil the impression.

Somebody mentioned it once:

There must be some detail in object parameters because these same towers are in the Xtra ship pack and without this issue.

Could someone please look at it? Probably just a detail of position parameters between the tower body and the cannons bodies.

Thank's

What seems to be wrong in your screenshot?

Hey, BlackArchon, are you kidding me? Look at the right turret. The canons! Do you think it is normal? They are a little more on the rightside of the turret. And this issue is on all ships with this type of the turret in the game....

In neutral position is all fine, but if you start turning with the turret, the canons are going to the side (right or left, like you are turning with....).

[BlackArchon]

Ah yes, I see it now, thanks. I never noticed that ingame.

[x3-AmModer]

Ah yes, I see it now, thanks. I never noticed that ingame.

Ok. And you never noticed that in the game, or you haven' t this problem? Because if this isn't in your game, that means the problem is in my bad installation or something else..... I don' t know.

Thank you...

I just checked: In my heavily modified XRM installation, the Hayabusa also has these weird turrets. They look ok if they are in their idle position, but their gun barrel shifts incorrectly when the turret turns. So yes, I can confirm this issue.

Thank you man! Do you think the mod masters of XRM are still active? I love USC ships and their new turrets. As I said, in the Xtra ship pack are the same models of USC and their turrets are good, without this issue.... it must be a small thing repairable in a few minutes.

Have a nice day...

No, the creators basically don't exist anymore.
To fix this, I suggest looking at TComponents.txt or so. But since this is only a cosmetic issue, I'm not really interested in fixing this by myself, sorry.

Finished , I will upload it tomorrow. Problem was in the objects, the scene of the turret. Rewrited from other mod with correct files. You won't need to start a new game, just install like a fake patch and in game fly to another sector for reload the ship scene (with correct turrets).

Thank you! I will use your patch when I start my new XRM game. Do you also start a new XRM playthrough? If yes, please inform us when you find other problems. I also have a few fixes and small improvements done to my XRM installation, maybe we could then combine our fixes to a patch which is worth it for other players.

Ok, and yes I will start a new game with XRM, my firsttime. If I will find something, I will report it here....

Have a good day!

Hey, BlackArchon!

And... what fixes and improvements do you think? Just out of curiosity.

[BlackArchon]

I'm using the following fixes and enhancements:
- Removed the wrong turret entry from Terran and Xenon capital ships which indicates a light blue weapon that doesn't exist.
- The combat performance patch (have a look at my signature), with an additional change to the Plasma Beam Cannon (PBC), Ion Cannon (IC) and Fusion Beam Cannon (FBC): they have their active firing time (that is the time the laser is actually visible) reduced by 50%; this means it is now easier to deliver the full damage to moving enemies. As it turned out rather surprisingly, enemies don't like to be shot at with lasers and try to avoid getting hit - this is now more difficult and makes lasers more viable compared to conventional capital ship weapons like PPC.
- I added energy cells to nearly all Equipment Docks to make refueling your capital ships more comfortable.
- The Yaki Akuma (M2) got a shield enhancement from 6 to 8 GJ.
- The Yaki Kariudo (M7) got their Teladi turrets replaced by Paranid ones; I hoped to fix the problem that AI Kariudos get abysmal weapons when this type of ship gets spawned, but this didn't help too much - I have to further investigate this issue.
- The ATF Valhalla (M2) is now a proper ATF ship again, so it will get spawned by the game (and with additional scripts like Improved Races).
- I changed the maximum communication range of the player and maximum view distance of satellites to their much larger values from Litcube's Universe (LU).
- All docks can now hold way more wares like in LU, although this comes with a slight cosmetic issue on military bases (way too many marines are sold). It is now more difficult for the galaxy-wide economy to die because of lacking resources.
- Pirate shipyards sell more types of Pirate ships.

Please, could you tell me something? Is XRM better play in AP or in TC version? Comes AP with something better?

And one more question. Do you have the same problem with mouse - cursor speed in AP? When I start TC, all is fine with it. But as soon as I start AP, the mouse cursor is slower in game than I am moving with mouse on the table... Do you know why?

Resolution = the same like res. of monitor
TC and AP = the same graphic settings

Just if you know....

Thank's
