Possibly because the file has an AP signature, rather than a TC one.
Modified files don't need the signature, and usually end up causing problems.
The only difference between the AP and TC version of the file altered for this is the signature, so removing it will probably let it run in TC - you probably want to remove the signatures from the multiplier files as well.

Well... That would be really cool if you make this compatible with TC Kvalyr (pleeaaasse)
I used to have a script for TC that increased mission's time limit, but I can't retrieve it. If someone has an idea... ^^
EDIT : I tried removing signatures from U.4 Finish Briefing.xml and ZMissionTweakMults.xml but it's not working...

I repacked the script so that you can install it with the Plugin Manager. It will now work with TC, AP 1.1, or AP 2.0. Probably will work with future versions of AP, as long as U.4 Finish Briefing.xml is not changed in a patch.Joubarbe wrote:That would be really cool if you make this compatible with TC Kvalyr (pleeaaasse)
From the (revised) ReadMe:
=========================================================
A note from Bullwinkle:
In response to requests on the forum, I repacked Kvalyr's MD script so that it can be installed with the Plugin Manager. It will now work for X3TC and X3AP.
I also removed mdfiles so that it will work correctly with AP v2.0. The original could disable the Hub and PHQ plots.
I removed the signatures as well, just in case they might cause any trouble.
Finally, I changed the installation procedure. Hopefully it will be a bit simpler. There is now only a single set of files to install. By default, mission time is doubled and rewards are doubled. As always, you can change the multipliers in ZMissionTweakMults.xml.
Please do not blame Kvalyr if the repack causes you trouble!
=========================================================
ZMissionTweak 1.2c (Repack of 1.2b)
(Note: If you install this manually into AP, then unzip into your addon folder. For TC, unzip into the X3TC folder.)

I do not know why you are having trouble with installation, but it is worth mentioning that the original package is not fully compatible with AP 2.x and above. use my Repacked version on the page 2 instead.
- (Also, you can install the repacked version with the Plugin Manager, which might be easier for you.)

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I read the whole thread and I am using you repackaged version. I tried to start a new game, but no go.
However, the interesting part is that it works in Terran Conflict! I installed it using the same method (Plugin Manager). Maybe it is a conflicting mod, but I don't use a lot of them and nothing else that uses mission director. Maybe it is related to the colored sector map or colored universe map?

Interesting. As long as U.4 Finish Briefing.xml and ZMissionTweakMults.xml are in addon\director I would expect it to work. I don't know what is in your universe mods, but I would not expect them to interfere based on their names.
I have not actually tested the package in AP 3.x, although it appears that U.4 Finish Briefing is unchanged. That suggests that the package should still be compatible.

I downloaded the Plugin Manager, but it didn't recognize either the .zip file or the "director" directory as being or containing a plugin, and trying to construct a plugin via the Plugin Manager involved filling in information on 5-7 different tabs, with no idea what I was doing. So ... the Plugin Manager was a distraction, not a help.
It also worried me a bit that I would simply place a new directory under the main x3tc directory, and the game would somehow know to look inside the directory and load the files there as scripts? Maybe you could put an explicit message into the readme like "don't worry, the game will find the scripts without you telling it where to look"?
The readme fed my confusion by saying "unzip into the appropriate folder," followed by an example that showed some files under "director" and other files not under "director," even though they're all (except for the readme) under "director" inside the zip. So ... I wasn't sure which to believe, the example or the step 1 directions.
