[MOD] IEX - AP/TC Sector Visual Enhancement - IEX 1.5b (27/07/2014)
Moderators: Scripting / Modding Moderators, Moderators for English X Forum
Hi, I wanted to install IE and IEX in my clean AP installation but it looks like I already have 05/06 dat files in my addons folder. Your guide says:
2). Copy & rename the cat/dat to ...\X3TC\addon\05.cat & ...\X3TC\addon\05.dat
4). Copy & rename the cat/dat to ...\X3TC\addon\06.cat & ...\X3TC\addon\06.dat
Am I supposed to overwrite these files? Usually you need to rename the dat file to a +1 number than the ones already in there.

A clean AP installation only has four cat/dat pairs.

I would do a fresh instal-Skipp- wrote:Well - I had TC installed but I uninstalled it before installing AP. But nevermind - I just did a backup of those 2 files, pasted in the mod and it looks like everything is working.
No crashes so I'm guessing it's fine
Obviously your instal is not clean
You never know what else may go awry later on

@ Slushman: Well I don't know if having the vanilla and mod author's backgrounds overwritten by somebody else's may make some of the gameplay text seem odd. This gets worse if the gameplay mod creates specific appearance sectors for plot purposes etc. You might be able to play around with the order in which some extracted background files are loaded - not sure.
The chances are that the game itself will still play properly as long as the new backgrounds are installed properly.

I'm hoping that I've updated the download links on the OP successfully with a new "bt link" which works alongside the Google one... please let me know asap if there's still an issue.

There is not a SW/IEX compatibility mod' out yet and as mikhailskatchkov's mod uses an altered map file + TFiles which IEX will get in the way of... however if you place the IE+IEX cat/dat files before the Star Wars mod' you'll certainly get some of the goodness... but not all... and some of it may look odd...Slushman wrote:Quick question - does anyone know if this is compatible with the Star Wars mod by mikhailskatchkov? His mod changes some of the backgrounds already so I'm not really sure.
May the farce be with you my son...

I think it is. I don't think there were any map changes between 1.7.0 -> 1.7.2BlackArchon wrote:The first entry indicates only LU 1.7.0 compatibility. Is it safe to use with 1.7.2?

I think I did something similar (many Ringo Moons ago) and so hence no update ... Thanks for recheckingBlackArchon wrote:I just diffed the x3_universe.xml from 1.7.0 to 1.7.2, they were identical. So it shouldn't be a problem, I will try it in the next days.

IEX 1.5b TC Map Hot FixFor vanilla TC games only (ie. not XRM or TCAP), a small & simple hot fix may be applied using this file to avoid a full IEX 1.5b download.
Unpack the map file and place it in the '\maps' folder for TC. Please note that this should only be done for vanilla TC games only (not AP or LUV/XRM/TCAP).
do I still need to do this? as in even with the updated 1.5b file, or was this something for people who had a previous version aka 1.5a.
also what would I use to upack the file with? Thank you for anyone's help.
