Is there an English port of X3Plus?

SymTec ltd. · Post by **SymTec ltd.** » Tue, 22. May 07, 17:11

There is none yet. All German manuals are included in English as well (or better: will be included as soon as they are in German), there is no other difference, so it is possible to use the German version.

>>>German x3plus<<<

If, however, you (in the sense of: arcana75 or any other) would like to support x3plus in this English forum section, you are always welcome on the team

I think the english language file is included so you can use it in game. And manuals, who reads them anyway?

I did try to translate the EST manual into english and mailed it to Lucike. Haven't heard a word back (remember I really cannot read any german ...)

A nice question indeed

Yeah, I've been wondering about the same thing- what is this X3 plus?

A collection of unsigned scripts packaged in the same way as the Bonuspack. It does include Bonuspack scripts too, but updated versions of them. Very nice scripts in there if you ask me. For many of them an english thread already exists.

Ah, I see. So basically for people who want to add more to the X3, but doesn't want to have their game "modified", right?

No.
Now, X3-Plus include unsugned scripts, and if you install them - you get "modified".
Only when Egosoft signed these scripts ....

unsigned, so you do get the ***modified***

X3plus installer is a copy of Bonuspack installer and I think each included script allows uninstall the same way as Bonuspack scripts do (ie try to be "safe"). Scripts within X3plus do not have resource conflicts among themselves, and I think they try to avoid conflicts with some major mods as well.

Essentially the X3plus is "just another package" of scripts, collected and installed a bit differently than with let say Cycrow's installer. If you look at the sticky scripts&mods library at top of this forum, you see that several scripts here attempt to avoid conflicts too. Too bad not all scripts are listed there nor avoid "in use" values listed there.

The nice thing about the X3plus installer is you have the option to pick which scripts and language files you want to install. The installer appears to be the same type used for the ES bonus pack.

So X3plus is sort of an unofficial bonus pack add on. The scripts in it have already undergone extensive development and add very nicely to the game (of course my option is bias on this

)

it contains:
Economics and supply trader
Mineral Collection Software
Attack Rocks Command
Ship and Station Name Management
Automatic Target Acquisition
Taxi Software
Optimized Targeting
Race Invasion

Really? Mailed to me?

Yes, quite sure I mailed it into xscripts@... I can re-mail.

Bunny · Post by **Bunny** » Fri, 25. May 07, 15:17

So it looks like the only thing holding us up are the Readme files - scripts are already in both languages.

SymTec ltd. · Post by **SymTec ltd.** » Fri, 25. May 07, 15:37

Mostly, yes.

Little help is needed as well with German CIAD, which I think a native speaker should translate, and with keeping a general overview over x3plus in the forum, like answering questions etc.

This reminds me of that scene where the penguins are on the edge of the iceberg nudging each other to go first

Well, from seeing that I didn't just volunteer myself, one could conclude that I'm looking for an English-speaking person.

Anyway, first of all I have to complete the textfile in German... and there is no end to it yet.

Bunny:

Something tells me that there are similarities.

I got the mail. I found it in my spam folder.

Many thanks
