The t-files should work fine as-is.tls2000 wrote:cant remember, but installed the mod now as admin and nothin changed (deleted all files before that)
except the readtext errors the mod seems to be alright.
is it possible to just rename the t-files to match the script or to rename text inside the script?
- Do you get a pop-up message in-game when starting a new game?
- What language game are you running?
- Do you have any News/Intro entries in your in-game Encyclopedia?

May be worth a try... I thought that the Lxxxx.xml files were language independent (so should work on any language system). Suffice to say, if this works then fine.tls2000 wrote:2. its german id 49 (could it work, if i change the language id inside the t-files of 2500-2503 from 44 to 49?)

hi again,
i have another problem regarding ur mod.
evrytime i engage into battle, the game crashes sayin "Application Error"
i turned the mod off, then started again, played an hour and fought some battles. no crashes.
theres no problem when i use the new weapons, but could it be, that the npc´s causin the crash when they use them?

In short EES, but if the game is crashing then there is a strong possiblity of a compatibility issue (normally the game only crashes if something is missing or corrupted).tls2000 wrote:lots
too many to count them, but always looked for compatibility.
i installed the game onto another pc with only the awrm mod to be 100% sure. and its still crashing.
is there a way to disable npc´s using ur mod?

Via the comms system when you are docked at either Spirit Industries or JCRA HQ in a ship without the relevant system already fitted. Just look for the relevant engineer.tls2000 wrote:now i started another game and after a couple of hours i installed the awrm... it works now no crashes anymore.
but how to purchase the cpls and pmts?

Hi!
Haven't tried this mod yet or read through 30 pages, so my apologies if I'm bringing up something that already exists or was already proposed, but came up with this idea during my own struggles with boarding live ships.
Anyway, what about creating a laser that does what Ion Disruptor was supposed to but failed? Meaning: not just taking down shield, but actually destroying equipment, starting with weapons, then destroying shields, then internal security measures, then disabling propulsion, etc.
ID was supposed to do that, but for some reason it doesn't... loaded an M3 with IDs only and buzzed around a Pirate for 3 minutes, frying him with constant 8-banks ID fire, but it did nothing but take down his shields and destroy a bit of hull.
On aside, as said haven't tried this script yet (does this script just add new weapons or does it also alter stats of existing ones?), but did the Terrans get better weapons in this mod?
Of all the Terran armament only their PSP is any good, while [in vanilla] they completely lack a fast-firing anti-fighter gun.
EDIT: installed the mod, but I've got a whole bunch of Readtexts instead of names for the new weapons (that ARE listed in the ships' descriptions). I have EMP installed because without it other mods wouldn't work for me.

Destruction of equipment is a game engine feature, I do not believe it is feasible to alter how the engine destroys equipment when lasers hit. In any case, this mod is considered complete bar translations, any further balancing tweaks, and AP compatibility.Sturmer wrote:Anyway, what about creating a laser that does what Ion Disruptor was supposed to but failed?

Try reading the post where the download links are, it gives a summary of what this mod adds/changes ... but in brief new lasers are added - baseline balance is on the whole retained.Sturmer wrote:On aside, as said haven't tried this script yet (does this script just add new weapons or does it also alter stats of existing ones?), but did the Terrans get better weapons in this mod?

Sounds like a region issue, what language game have you installed?Sturmer wrote:EDIT: installed the mod, but I've got a whole bunch of Readtexts instead of names for the new weapons (that ARE listed in the ships' descriptions).

Had only Readtexts there as well.Roger L.S. Griffiths wrote:Do you have any news/info entries under the in-game encyclopedia?Sturmer wrote:Thanks for the reply!

As it is I had to do a fresh install because of other problems I had with the game and I'm now only again reinstalling all the mods. I've already gotten one "save file corrupt" message, will see how it goes with this mod this time.
Thanks for help.
so, i docked with a corvette at spirit industries and opened comm link...Roger L.S. Griffiths wrote:Via the comms system when you are docked at either Spirit Industries or JCRA HQ in a ship without the relevant system already fitted. Just look for the relevant engineer.
i can see the relevant engineers, but they all givin just help for direction, like "where is the next shipyard or equipment dock" or "surender!"
cant purchase any system, do i need any pre-equipment or are the systems only available for specific ships?
p.s cant dock with my frigate, is that another bug i have?

Sounds like your overall installation is weird. It should all work fine providing everything is installed correctly. There are additional requirements for CPLS/PMTS but these are covered in their respective legacy threads (along with the obvious follow on questions I anticipate).tls2000 wrote:so, i docked with a corvette at spirit industries and opened comm link...Roger L.S.
