By the way the background for Naos Nihal seems to be broken, it's just a completely black space, no stars, planets or or anything. How do I fix this? It's rather jarring and ugly. Merindasa Prime, too. It just has the planet and then black space everywhere.

I just installed XTC on a vanilla fresh install of the game and when starting up the Humble Trader I am greeted by this:

I tried starting as another career and did not have a problem, is this a known issue? If so is there a fix? Thank you

Reinstalled a fresh copy, cleaned my save directory, and launched the vanilla game. The Mercury camera was positioned fine and not like the above shown picture. I installed the mod but this time did not choose the torrent but the direct, just in case. I installed to the correct directory (XTC showing properly by New Game as well as the background being different) and as soon as the mod was installed the camera for the Mercury is again right back to the center.OOZ662 wrote:Your cockpit camera is inset inside the Mercury, probably at the very center of the model. It indicates a corrupt file; you'll probably want to redownload and reinstall.
Same goes for the empty backgrounds and planets.
I have no idea what is happening here to cause this but I have:
-no other apps running to interfere with the mod installation
-mod exe was executed w/admin privileges
-mod appears to be installed properly
-fresh install shows the Humble Merchant start w/the Mercury fine on vanilla
-no other mods of any sort installed
Any help in troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Savegames from vanilla won't work, you have to use a new gamestart with XTC.

I was about to go off on a Hulk smash style tirade of how I am not a moron until I looked at the screenshots I am still posting (for laughs). I noticed it is AP. Sooooo....turns out when I bought the Gold package off of Steam it autoinstalled AP and therin lies the conflict I am thinking. I did another clean install and launched only TC but the launcher does not show anything for XTC. Ah well, learned something new and thanks for the feedback and input. Happy gamingTTD wrote:You did install to the TC directories and not the AP (Addon) directories?
I did just that as an experiment.
there is no HUMBLE TRADER start in Xtended !!!

Go to Steam and install TC.
Then install Xtended,which is a mod for TC,not AP, into the TC folder.
All should be well.
While I think about it,the TC .exe icon is mainly blue in color,where as the AP .exe icon is a sort of brown and black
However,if you really want to play safe, there are ways to run TC and mods away from Steam
Someone else can explain that if you don't know already.
While I am here...a possible plot related question...
Just received a message about a gate to Narnia.
What's that all about?
Can't bring the screen up again so I hope I did not have to write down the access point number.

Man, the expansion to plot-level in the universe is wearing on me...already explored everywhere but the Split territories, watched as the first Xenon incursion was pummeled (and "salvaged" 10mil worth of bailed frigate hull), mooched and plundered my way into a heavy M6, and still not there yet.
I finally turned my universe expansion delay to 50%...hopefully it doesn't go too nuts on me.

Plots should be available....escondido wrote:Hi all..)
I restarted the second time this mod. but this time with the custom game option.
wonder: will the stories still available?
i hope so
...however I don't expect you to get far. Custom game start has a hard coded start sector, what would be Argon Prime (Sector x=1, y=3) - in the XTC universe this sector is deep in Xenon space and won't have any gates connected until expansion stage 4.
A long time sat around waiting for something to happen...

Funny that !.
Coincidental or what?
Yesterday,for something different to do,I was looking at the different starts, including the Custom start.
In Vanilla ,the custom start does not have main plots enabled,so I have assumed the same.
However,the is a link in my sig that enables you to choose your stating ship/ sector etc.
This i have used with XTC

Anyone know why the Bloody Split in Flaming Fury and Rhonkhar's Diplomacy keep shooting up my TSs despite me being an Honerd strong arm of Rhonkar?
it's annoying, because that tends to tick off their Tenjin escorts, who then also get shot up, and I end up having to calm down the angry Raptor captain bearing down on my ship, and getting my supply chain interrupted, and losing Tenjins.
those things ain't exactly cheap, ya'know!

If your ships cause damage to a racial ship over a certain (rather arbitrary) threshold, both that ship (if it survives) and a local police squad become hostile and actively intercept your assets regardless of rank or reputation. If your ships return fire, further reinforcements are called and more vessels will become hostile to you. Until you clear your name from every ship that shows as red when you have all races set to Friend and "Show as enemy if hostile to me" set to Yes, as well as solve the initial problem that sparked it, you'll keep being attacked.Mechanis wrote:Anyone know why the Bloody Split in Flaming Fury and Rhonkhar's Diplomacy keep shooting up my TSs despite me being an Honerd strong arm of Rhonkar?
It's a vanilla behavior (possibly hardcoded; I don't know anything about police and patrol scripts) and can be set off just by ramming your capital into some TS that was entering the gate; subsequent vessels entering the area will be attacked.
