[MOD] [TC/AP] X3 Rebalance Mod (XRM) - Total conversion - v1.30d (02.12.13)

Hello

I always play at stock levels. It's good for all races except Borons, they ships are rather weak; to counter this effect I'm using DrBullwinkles Organic Boron Hulls. I have tested increased threshold for hulls of huge ships for their better survivability, they retreat faster, but it also increased time needed to destroy them by me, so I always ends up on stock levels.

I get so little feedback on that script; I am glad you like it.

Do you use the default settings? Or do you adjust them in the language file?

Default, in the past I try speed up repairing of my ships but it was too cheaty. I'm also use, adjusted a little bit, your version of "Marine repair script" and few others. All works fine.

Excellent.

Thank you, Viliae.

Hey, still loving the crap out of XRM. I've seen a small issue with the Split Heavy Dragon though, which because I'm a sucker for looks has prevented me from using it every time I'm looking for a corvette. Its forward weapons are floating some distance off its hull. It's the only ship in the game which has this problem, and I've observed it across two separate reinstalls of the game and XRM.

I don't think this is XRM related issue, has to do more with your game settings / hardware.

I'm having an issue with building in terrans sectors. Some of them are targetable but not there. A water factory in Heretic's End and all Transorbial gate in Asteroid Belt. I don't know if there are any other missing as I can't get any further. If I try to fly through the target square my ship gets collision damage. The only way I can get through them is OOS. When In-Sector all Npc ship trying to go through them end up flying around the gates non stop. I tried to look for this bug but I could not find anything about it.

That would indicate that you have missing station models. Check that part 1 of the xrm is correctly installed.

You may need to restart once you fix this.

I've found an unused Boron M4 ship model. Any chance to put this ship into game with forthcoming update?
Why wasting a good model, this one for example could share weapons with other race, plenty of choices for it's use

I finally got it working for the terrans model but I had to reinstall everything (the game and the mod)

Having an odd issue, I keep seeing combat drones "firing" at their own ships after combat is finished. Almost like they are attempting to repair the ship but they are using their impulse emitters and not repair lasers. They never seen to harm their parent ship but maybe that is because their weapons are so weak. I do have MARS installed but I followed in instructions and didn't install MAR's goblin files and used the repacked MARS as told to by XRM's 1st post.

Also had some problems on an escort mission where I used my TL (AI controlled) to help protect the convoy, after a while the OTAS ships in the sector would turn hostile, the only thing I noticed is my TL had lunched a TON of fighter drones as had the OTAS ships. Maybe they started shooting each other or my ships attacked the drones who where shooting at their own ship in an attempt to fulfill their order to protect the convoy?

MARS goblins will do repair work whether or not you install the goblins mod (which is built into XRM anyway, I believe).

So those are *repair lasers*, not IRE's. (And, even if they *are* IRE's, they will work like repair lasers).

Will "goblins" be listed a s so or as fighter drones? And the ships never seem to actually get fixed. Argon 1 has been at 80% hull my whole game despite a swarm of drones shooting at it. What the hell damaged it I have no idea.

tried adding modded bombers, and the Terran mission failed and froze as well as every convoy mission in game, threw it out they work again, added some ships from the approved ship list in the modding section, froze again. using TC 3.2 and your mod...does that make any more ships or mods unusable?

tried speeding bombers up to 200 for escorts for corvettes and added some medium missiles, but then things start freezing. doesn't matter if I use exact specs from generic ships without modding them, any changes freezes the convoy missions forever.

thats all I'm doing TC 3.2 and Rebalance mod..oh and marine repairs and bailing extension.

I have never seen a success report that explains how to install .xsp ships into XRM.

There *are* some known issues.

For AP, some players have had better success when they install the .xsp into both TC and AP.

For XRM, there was a bug in XRM's dummies file a couple of years ago that created trouble for the Plugin Manager. Don't know whether this has been fixed in XRM.

However, there is a "beta" patch for the Plugin Manager that may work around the dummies bug. So far, nobody has reported a clear description of whether it solves the problem with dummies.

Here are some related threads:

Ships (XSP) may have trouble with XRM

Question: how to extract .xsp file and merge it into XRM

TL,DNR Version: XSP ships may not be fully compatible with XRM.

I am *certain* that it could be done by someone sufficiently familiar with modding and XSP's. If anyone *has* done it, then they have not explained "how" they did it (to the best of my knowledge).

ty for the input, decided that since I had troubles will make my own custom game, deleted all and started with a clean install of TC from disk, upgraded to 3.2 and now getting all the little stuff I want to add, so ty for the info but will drop the mod for now and go it alone for once.
