I need to somehow remove those packs? And copy it all to new dir and use that thing that makes if playable without steam?
Ok, no problem.
In fact, you can do it just more simple.
Yes, do not install the bonus stuff. Remove the check mark in steam for ALL bonus stuff.
Just install it again - but this time just AP. TC will be installed in that way too, but you do not need to do it explizit. In fact, AP use the media and objects of TC but no script or something. So, no need to look then back to TC.
So, do this:
- install it new, just AP, no bonus stuff (it is already in LxXRM, promised)
- go where you steam directory is and find ...\Steam\!SteamApps\common\x3 terran conflict
(don't get fooled by the name, AP is inside there too!)
- copy the directory x3 terran conflict to C or D or whatever. "C:/x3 terran conflict" is just fine
- download the non steam X3AP.exe on this website:
https://www.egosoft.com/download/x3ap/bonus_en.php
- copy it over the X3AP.exe in your "C:/x3 terran conflict"
- copy it AGAIN to "C:/x3 terran conflict" but name it this time X3AP_n.exe
(so you have 2 exe in - thats just a safety marker to avoid people install to steam, sorry for that but safety first).
X3 AP installation - DONE!
Now follow the guide on page 1:
https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php ... 24#4717924
Start with 1c - installation of the X Plugin Manager (thats something you do for every X3 modding if you are sane or not on a mega mod).
The PManager must be pointed to top your X3 copy. He will ask you or you have to point it by yourself by starting it and use the drop down menu Settings->Add Directory. Point it to your copy, in our example "C:/x3 terran conflict".
Enable it like described in the link above and then just follow the guide in my second post on the first page. That means you change the check marker in Settings/Mode from "vanilla" to "modfied" and say yes when the PManager ask you to install the default scripts.
If you have used "C:/x3 terran conflict", you must be set the _X3AP_PATH_.bat line to
set X3AP_PATH=C:/x3 terran conflict
(notice there are NO "").
DONE with all settings, now you have just download the big mods, throw them to LxXRM/_DOWNLOAD and hit the bat files in order as described.
Then it will install itself just by answering some questions and you can remove and reinstall different setups again and again. No copy by hand or such needed.
