Scriptors and Modders please read...

Post by CptRanger » Thu, 29. Jan 04, 06:57

I just hosed down my X2 install because of adding scripts which cause the game to crash and going to have to reinstall.

For the love of god please include detailed directions on how to install these things other then "look in the forums for how to install this".

I mean the purpose of a read me should include this as the vast majority of other games I play with mods include how to install whatever it is you downloaded and where to locate any other programs to install said mod/script.

Examples of these are
Modified XaiCorp Jumpdrive Commands 2.0.exe
Create.Equippment.Dock.V1.zip
and HQmodV2byOlisJ.zip which included
"How to install:
!!! You'll need to back up your saved games in case you decide to remove this mod.

Then copy:
04.cat
04.dat
scripts\!init.plugin.mod.hq.pck.pck
scripts\!plugin.hq.mod.init.pck
scripts\!special.establish.hq.warelist.pck
scripts\!special.establish.hq.pck

Removing this mod is recursive: delete new files, write back backed up saved games."

Now where exactly do I install this to? my best guess is the main X2 folder.

As I tried removing these files and the Jump Drive Program and still crashes to desktop.


All I ask is to please include readme's that actually tell you what to do as not everyone is familiar with each and every file extension of X2.

Thanks.

Totally right on dude.
Didn't we used to have the ability to block people on this forum that annoy us?

Yes I agree that is why I desided to never to do that when I make my mods because when I first started the game I had the exact same trouble.

what really sucks is that I was at the end of the "story" and heading back to Argon One for the funeral.

Now I gotta restart.
