 Posted: Thu, 1. Mar 12, 03:40 Post subject: [Docn] AP Steam patches Documentation (v3.0 cat 03) |
   |
|
As it appears that steam overwrites the 02 patch in addon whenever a new patch is made, I think we need to document what changes for the benefit of those needing to know what changed from patch to patch for mod upgrading purposes. [Note: This no longer seems true since an 03 was just added. But I'll keep the documentation updated anyway.]
I dont know what was in 1.0, so cant include that, but I can start with 1.1.
Each time a patch is downloaded by steam, if someone can post a list of what gets added or updated, I will keep the OP up to date.
2.5.3 -> 3.0
List of changed/added files
2.5.2 -> 2.5.3
List of changed/added files
2.5.1 -> 2.5.2
List of changed/added files
2.5 -> 2.5.1
Reuses 03.cat/dat.
Added/changed:
addon\scripts\!lib.mtc.buysell.pck
addon\scripts\!patch.rrf.2.51.pck
addon\scripts\plugin.rrf.fire.missile.pck
addon\scripts\plugin.rrf.monitor.4.sig.handler.pck

V2.0 -> V2.0a (Just a minor patch)
Distributed as 03
- Minor text fixes:
Corrected mistakes in 0001-L049.xml (German) / 0001-L039.xml (Italian)
350035-1102604 added in all languages
Script engine: skip if not --> do if
- adds a new cat/dat pair (number 03) with
L\x3galedit.obj
L\x3story.obj
addon\t\0001-L048.pck
Possible Changes to 02 :
If you load Chinese as language in X3AP, then the 02.cat/dat will be updated with Chinese text, fonts and menu image files. (language id 86 is simplified Chinese, language id 88 is traditional Chinese) Also, the files 0002-L086.pck and 0002-L088.pck will be added to the t-folder.
v1.1 to v2
Added to types : cutdata.txt, dummies.txt, globals.txt, jobs.txt, tcockpits.txt, TwareT.txt.
Updated in types : Tships.txt, warelists.txt.
In t : 0001 updated (all versions). conversations.xml added.
In maps : waretemplate.xml and x3_universe.xml added.
As in, 1.1 doesnt have a maps directory, v2 does with those 2 files in there.
In director :
Added 0.16, 0.22, 0.34, 0.35, 2.020, 2.021, 2.129, 2.133, 2.135, 3.01, mdfiles.txt, OBJ05 Provide Station Ware.xml
Updated : 0.4, 2.019, 3.02, 3.08
v1.1 has an L\true directory. v2 does not. So they removed x3config.obj, x3galedit.obj, x3intro.obj, x3story.obj, and some loadscrBot-L??? jpgs
Edit: I added links to the list of change/added files of the latest updates. I also updated the title of this thread. X2-Illuminatus

I had a stupid moment so i added code markers 
| Code: |
Just to add about Fake Patching AP.
Steam seems to keep a log of the official patches so the fake mod method using cat/dat seem to be not possible.
however a workaround is to use the mods in an unpacked state as this still over rides all cat/dat including the official ones.
It may get messy but until there's a way to use false cat/dat files again it's seems the only way really to use false patch type mods.
If it is possible to use fake patches in cat/dat form then please tell me what I've missed, thanks :)

Ive never, not once had a problem with cat/dat mods on AP
Note:
The following folders must be placed in the \addon\ directory INSIDE the cat dat
addon\cutscenes
addon\director
addon\maps
addon\t
addon\types
All other directorys remain in the root\ of the cat.

Yea I only just discovered that I needed to add in an addon folder and stick the types in that.
I was going on the assumption that having it same as TC fake patches would work.
Silly me ah well mistakes happen.
So forget what I originally thought.

Thankyou. OP updated.
Its disturbing that they are issuing new cats again, while also making changes to old cats at the same time. |
You'd think they would stick those files in the 03.cat/dat into the 02 one considering they were adding stuff to 02 anyway.
Maybe they are trying to troll the Mod Makers and Users
They could've at least added some bonus stuff in the 03 file for the game.

One more change with this patch, that hasn't been documented.
I was in the process of handupdating my XRM install, and ran across this:
plugin.autotrade.blacklistsector.pck has a new mod date of today, for me.
Might be important to those mods dealing with traders.
Edit: Got a chance to compare, other than a line return at the beginning, there is no difference in the files. Wonder why steam replaced it in my vanilla install?
