Does it have to be in that order? Can IE and IEX start at any other number?For XRM (TC) in the main TC folder...
01-13 EGOSOFT stuff
14 IE
15 IEX
16 XRM (1)
17 XRM (2)
18 XRMi
For XRM (AP) in the 'addon' folder...
01-04 EGOSOFT stuff
05 IE
06 IEX
07 XRM (1)
08 XRM (2)
09 XRMi
It does need to be in the order described as each cat/dat may use or re-define stuff which has come before. If it's not done in the correct order then some bits might go somewhat 'wonky'...Boringnick wrote:Does it have to be in that order? Can IE and IEX start at any other number?
I am working on a installer for XRM, so that info is needed.
Are IE and IEX the only mods where order is important (due their functionality), or are there others with such requirement?Moonrat wrote:It does need to be in the order described as each cat/dat may use or re-define stuff which has come before.

The numbers however can change as long as the sequence is numerically upwards with no gaps.
I'm afraid not... it all depends upon which objects/T-files/textures etc. are used within each mod and which ones need to be replaced by a later cat/dat added by another mod so that it all works Ok. For example IEX uses stuff from IE but also replaces other elements, so placing them in reverse order would not yield the correct result. That's why say I've had to add the XRMi cat/dat after the XRM cat/files supplied by paul wheeler. Unless you are aware of what changes are involved then getting them into the correct order is essential so that the compatibility between them is achieved. In fact a lot of the effort in building mods is to ensure you don't cause unintended consequences and sometimes 'patches' like XRMi have to be created so that your mod sit can comfortably alongside other people's work.Boringnick wrote:Are IE and IEX the only mods where order is important (due their functionality), or are there others with such requirement?
I'm pretty sure that as you install IEX as a false patch and there's no scripts involved you won't get a modified flag... but no doubt someone more knowledgeable can confirm that or not.Juberberry wrote:I'm sorry if I missed the mention somewhere in the main post - will this mod (or required supporting mods) set the modified flag on my game in AP?
I'm getting back into AP but want to play it Vanilla. I miss these graphical tweaks.
It'll have to wait until after Easter but I'll have a look at it...enenra wrote:Hey, any chance for a rehost of the gallery pictures on something like imgur.com? For some reason I cannot view imageshack pictures at all.
Plus it's plastered with ads.

Is the problem with the images on the OP etc. or is it when you browse imageshack?
Based upon the above, should my load order look like the following if I wanted to load XRM, IEX and TCAP?Moonrat wrote: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
XRM (1.30.5a)Terran Conflict Plots for Albion Prelude (TCAP)
- A small 'fake' patch is required to experience IEX with the latest version of XRM (1.30d), this is called XRMi and can be found here.
Unpack the zip file and then order the cat/dat files as follows:
For XRM (TC) in the main TC folder... For XRM (AP) in the 'addon' folder... NOTES : Any optional XRM packs but NOT the Backgrounds pack should come afterwards, these may however cause issues with IEX depending on their content.
A new gamestart is recommended.
- A compatibility patch is required to use IEX with "Terran Conflict plots for Albion Prelude" ... This is currently TCAPiex 1.5a and can be found here.
Most of the content was created by dillpickle and so accordingly great credit should go to him for this. Please report any bugs
to either him or me via whichever thread seems most appropriate, thanks.
This small fake patch needs to be placed immediately after the TCAP cat/dat files from dillpickle.

So stick with cat/dat 01-09 and it might give you what you want?PLOTS - For Terran Conflict all the plots are available. For Albion Prelude, the main Argon plot is disabled as it is not compatible with the XRM replacement "war". However, all other plots are available. Also, the Corporation and Treasure Hunt plots from TC are playable in AP.

Is it just a text Bug or i forgot something on my new install ?
