Definitive 'EngineVersion' values - do you know them?

Post by mr.bear »

hello everybody,

I would really like to know which 'engineversion' values define which game versions. Every script in my (TC v3.0) scripts folder has 40, 42, 43 or 44, possibly skipping 41. I thought TC was '44' but obviously i'm wrong.

I need to know more details than you probably expect: an engine version for each major version of X2, Reunion and Terran Conflict (for a script editor).

If you're sure about the 'engineversion' for any particular game version (or i've missed any game versions) - post post post! I know it seems boring but i have a good reason for it.

A lot of the posts on here tell people to change the engine version from 32 to 44, so 32 must be important somewhere. i think 17 is possibly the most old-school of them all... but where does it belong?

TC v3.1: 44 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked)
TC v3.0: 44 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked)
TC v2.7: 44 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked)
TC v2.5: 44 according to Xai
TC v2.0: 40 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked), 42 or 43 according to Xenon_Slayer (Unchecked)

X3 v2.5: 33 according to Xai and SpaceTycoon
X3 v2.0: 32 according to Xai and SpaceTycoon
X3 v1.4: 25 according to Xai (Unchecked). 30 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked)
X3 v1.3: 28 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked) (This doesn't make sense, it should be a lower number)

X2 v1.5: 25 checked using script editor
X2 v1.4: 25 checked using script editor
X2 v1.3: 25 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked)
X2 v1.2: 25 according to SpaceTycoon (Unchecked)

Scripts
In X2 v1.2 are mostly '17', '20' or '22'. Also 18, 21.
In TC v3.0 are mostly '40'. Also 41, 42, 43, 44.

thanks very much,

mr. bear

Have you checked the source for the SPK and/or DS libraries?

Every new patch that comes out the engineversion increases

so it depends on what patch ur on
However as long as its above 40 it'll work in tc

Last time it was version 43 was back in June 2009 and 42 shortly before that. It was probably 2.0.

AFAIK, it shouldn't be increased every patch, just every Script Engine change.
Come watch me on Twitch where I occasionally play several of the X games
