You have to update xx7047.xml with your changes.

I've been having problems for a while. At first I thought it was a mixup with one of the other scripts but now I'm using a completely different set of scripts (i felt like a change) it's still having the same problem.

The actual running is fine, but for some reason the setup script is faulting. The AL options and all other aspects of the script are not loading, when I manually run the setup script it still doesn't work, and while I can bodge it to force the turret and goblin setup, I don't know enough on the script engine to get the AL options to come up and it's a faff each time.

It used to work, maybe something in your most recent update doesnt like me? I have completely redownloaded the script so I know I have the most up to date version. It really would be nice if it was in SPK form, would be much easier to work with, but I never had this issue before

Occasionally it picks up and starts working again after loading so maybe it's just the game initialisation part that is bugged

hmm...I set out to change the laser/bullets data in 7047 t file because I use a modified version of CmodII. After looking through the file I saw that all the lasers is repeated over and over again with different values. After a new search through this thread I found out that the reason for that is that all races have different laser data.

Do I need to change the date for all the races?

Why is the laser data different between the races?


Any help is greatly welcomed

This ensures compatibility with the Racial Laser Mod.

I try again. maybe I formulated my self in a bad way

I want to use MARS together with CmodII for XTM. To do that I need to change the laser data in xx7047.xml. But in the xx7047.xml file there is a lot of different laser data set for each race so it can be compatible with Racial Laser Mod. But I do not want to use the Racial Laser Mod.

So my question is:
To get MARS to work with CmodII for XTM, do I need to change all the data sets for all the races, or is one specific set of laser data I need to change?

I'm very great full for any help to solve this problem, and I'm sorry for being very slow to understand this

I was under the impression that MARS directly read tlasers and got the weapon stats to work from. It's weapon preferences are not a set order and so if you mod the weapons it just adapts automatically without need for you to dip into it.

I think gazz just set special settings for the racial weapons mod because it's a massive beast otherwise lo

Ben playing with it for a few small battles but i've not really noticed any diffrence... No 'Goblins' Not sure what they wud look like... and the Auto loot does not work i still have to loot myself (not sure if im doing it right?) and the MARS Defence offence shit... is that activated by the way u choose turret behaviour... like.. attack all enemies makes them go to MARS offence?

Are you sure that you installed MARS correctly? The OP mentions a AL Plugin that shows the current MARS version. What version is displayed? Did you get any message by MARS in your log telling you that any files are missing?

[Peanutcat]

Ignore what i said there i except for goblins

I now have the problem that mars removes all guns in the turret bay but one, kinda annoying that it makes my capital ships go with one gun per turretbay

As for goblins do u need fighter drones in inventory?

[X2-Illuminatus]

You should read the OP more carefully.

[Peanutcat]

Oh, so.. u dont need a shitloads of PPCs all u need is enuff for one side? :0

I wouldn't do this. I never used MARS, but even if it switches weapons between the turrets, it's possible that you are attacked by more than one target from differenet positions. And then it might be better to have enough weapons for all turrets. Also, if your ship is OOS afaik the amount of weapons is important for the combat calculations.
