Change specs for Advanced Satellites
Is it possible to change the "viewing distance" of Advanced Satellites?
I'm running X3AP latest, with XRM installed.
Thanks.

Hi there - there is nothing in the XRM .cat no.2 under globals.pck ???Kadatherion wrote:Yes, it's a simple edit of the globals file, via X3 editor. In your case, you'll have to edit the one contained in XRM's cat/dat number 2.
Look at the beginning of the file, the value you're interested in is SG_SCANNER_RANGE_SATELLITE2;
... at the beginning of the file types\Globals.txt there should be something like that:agleave wrote:... there is nothing in the XRM .cat no.2 under globals.pck ???
Code: Select all
// vanilla TC globals ...
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_SHIP;5000000;
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_SHIP_UPGRADE2;10000000;
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_SHIP_UPGRADE3;15000000;
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_SATELLITE;11000000;
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_SATELLITE2;17500000; <--- that's the Adv. satellite
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_STATION;5000000;
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_ORBITALLASER;1250000;
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_FREIGHTSCANNER;2000000;
SG_SCANNER_RANGE_SO_NEBULA;750000;
??
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong? I am opening X3 Editor 2, selecting 06.cat (which is the XRM part 2 file), going to "addon", then "types", then "globals.pck" and it just opens a blank screen.... I have edited many other things, such as twaresT and tbullets this way, but there appears to be nothing in this file, or if there is, nothing that X3 Editor is displaying.JonfersonSDD wrote:... at the beginning of the file types\Globals.txt there should be something like that:agleave wrote:... there is nothing in the XRM .cat no.2 under globals.pck ???... if you divide those numbers by 500, you´ll get the scanner range in metresCode: Select all

Is this to be edited in some other way?
Thanks.
OK, now we're getting somewhere. X3 Editor was not the tool to use then. How do I do the extracting and adding back into the .pck file?JonfersonSDD wrote:--> extract (& decompress !!!) Globals.pck to (e.g.) your desktop (=> Globals.txt)

Ehm... X3 editor.agleave wrote: OK, now we're getting somewhere. X3 Editor was not the tool to use then. How do I do the extracting and adding back into the .pck file?
Just grab the pck from X3 editor cat manager and drag it on your desktop. It will automatically be converted to the uncompressed txt format. Edit it, save, and drag it back into the cat opened in X3 editor, ensuring it's being re-compressed into .pck.
All sorted
Thanks all for your assistance. I was using Plugin Manager Lite, but changed to Plugin Manager Advanced and all was good. Still could not get X3 to do the text conversion part, but no matter.
