Which Mod/Script Should i Download

[TeroAr]

Hi!

I just bought the X-Superbox from Steam and I like the idea of achievements (I'm new on Steam) but I also like a well modded X game and know that most unofficial mods tag the game as *modified*, but not all of them (No-Ad-Sign-Mod for example.) do it.

It would be interesting to add some kind of mark on each script/mod/plugin on the library list that doesn't trigger the *modified* tag and thus allow to gain Steam achievements while using mods.

Also, I think that to aid newbies and not-so-new pilots in mod searching it would be a good idea to create an officialy sanctioned X-Library similar to CivFanatics or better TESNexus, I know there are several good fanmade mod libraries out there (Xai Corporation to mention one) but none as complete as this forum.

I'm sorry if all these topics have already been discussed, I made a forum search for them without great results.

So... Naval Shuffle or Rebalance?

I played NS some time ago and enjoyed it, but it seems to me Rebalanced adds a lot more stuff. Does it also change ship speeds to something that actually makes sense, the way NS does?

What are, in your opinion, some must have mods for Albion Prelude while still being able to enjoy the Albion Prelude plot?

Could someone please direct me to a good p2p jump script?
I have looked at the ones listed in the community library but non of them seem to do what I want:
- one new ware: a p2p jumpdrive costing a fair amount (10s of millions I guess)
- allows jumping to any point in any sector
- integrates with normal jump commands so auto-jump will pick it up, and other scripts that use jump drives
- no other frills.

If one does not exist I may write it myself ... I want my battles to be Battlestar Galacticaesque.

I'm starting a brand new game - I'm a veteran TC player. Would like to play AP but the missing PHQ is a deal breaker for me...and the Hub would be nice. I know there's word that the PHQ will be patched in...but...

1. Are there any AP specific mods that add these?

2. Would anyone recommend TC with XRM, OVER Albion Prelude?

I have played XTC, though not 2.0 (I'm not even sure if that's out, haven't looked).

Thanks!

*Edit*

I ended up going with AP + XRM. Absolutely love it. Kudos to both Ego (for AP) and the guys that put XRM together. Did try to patch in the PHQ with one of apricotslice's mods but couldn't get it to work. Will keep my fingers crossed for AP 2.0.

Im playing X3-TC version 3.2 with bonus package installed.
& I want some mods for a better gaming experience in following sections.

<1> Exploring...something better than the explorer command soft.
Where I can give orders to ships to explore universe. (something like universe trading - gaining levels, xp, etc will be greater)

<2> Mining - To automatically maintain mining process.

<3> A mod which fixes AI (auto pilot) flying errors like bouncing away to avoid nearby object. (though the object is far away) & which improves AI fighting capabilities.

<4> Stations filled with equipment. Its so irritating to find certain equipment are not available when we get to the station.

& any suggestions.....

But please make note, that I dont like cheating. So please dont suggest me any mods which unbalance the game play. Thank you..

1) Galaxy Explorer by gnasirator
2) Prospector by Lucike (check the last pages of the topic for a working download link).
3) Bounce by Litcube helps to avoid collisions of player ships with other objects.
4) Equipment Research and Development by Cycrow

I need help...my game got crashed trying to install plugins.
Now Im reinstalling it.

I installed crycrows plugin manager...that way I could simply install & uninstall plugins. But most of the plugins I want to install doesn't support that application. (or I dont know how to)

In the installation instructions of most of the mods says,

"Simply extract the *.zip file to your X³ TC folder. The .zip file includes the folders “\scripts\...” and “\t\...” which also exist in your X³ TC folder. Any additional folders in the *.zip file are for maintenance and uninstalling and should also be extracted to your X³ TC folder."

If Im to extract files in to the main directory. It will overwrite the existing "scripts" folder.
So I copied the files in the downloaded scripts folder to existing scripts folder in the game directory. Is that ok ?
But my game stuck when I loaded the last save game. am I missing something here ?

Please help me fix this issue...I dont need to re-install the game again.

Thank you...

As far as I know the Plugin Manager can also manage the installation of .zip and .rar archives.

Hi everyone.
I'm looking for a script or mode for X3TC which would add some agression to Xenon and/or Pirates without messing into the other races relations between each other. The point is, they should not invade random sectors using jumpdrives. Instead, their ships should attack the sectors connected to their own homesectors and advance further without using jumpdrives, so the war goes on in some limited and predictable amount of sectors, not randomly across the whole universe. In X3 Reunion there was a script called Xenon Migration which is about perfect for me. Is there anything like this for X3TC? I've found the Race Invasions script, but from the description it seems that Xenon will jump and invade random sectors in the universe. Or maybe the old Xenon Migration could be still functional in X3TC?
Thanks.
