How do you enable the galaxy editor in x3.Page 18 of the game manual makes out that it is in the New Game options but its not there.

Why the hell have you got to wait or mess about typing in a code to get this thing to work when it should be included straight from the off in the new game options like the manual says?

Good point, i saw that in the manual also - looked for it...couldn't find it anywhere, either its not integrated, or its hidden like a bitch.

Have you tried typing Thereshallbewings at the main menu?

This enabled it in X2.

Yep, even then apparently not many people knew about it.

Anybody tried that out, yet?
I tried it but nothing happens ^^
Maybe I am just to "overclocked" to type it in correctly... I have not slept the last 2 nights... But that is a cool way to play X³... when you hit the Stage where you do not know if X³ is just a game or reality it is the most Fun

Put Thereshallbewings in your name... you will hear a sound.... and your name will not change

That enables the Script Editor. This thread is about the Galaxy Editor. That's a very different beast.

So how do we enable the galaxy editor then?

Tried typing it at the main menu several times, slow as well just to make sure but nothing happens. Is this another missing feature or what?

If there were no Galaxy Editor there would be no galaxy for you to fly around in.

*sigh*

Its a pretty simple question. What is the problem here. How do we load it?.....going on your comments it is obviously in the game somewhere then. Or do we have to play some silly guessing game?

I mean, some of us are keen to load it up and see what we can do and share with it the community.

CBJ, I believe the question is aimed at you or someone in the know:

"How do you enable the galaxy editor mode?"

I'm gonna need to know this myself here for when I get my copy.

Anyway, the way the GE worked in X2. You were at the main menu...

You type "Thereshallbewings" remembering the capital T using shift key, and nothing happens. Next you go to new game, which displayed, easy, normal, hard, XTREME, New Game in Custom Galaxy, and the new option Galaxy Editor.

Double check yourselves.

Unfortunately my dear friend, that does not seem to work with X3. I've tried about 10 times to make sure I got it right, and no bananas....

Exactly, same here.

Hence why a simple answer to the question is all that is needed. Somebody (mods/devs) must know surely?

Or quite simply, to be fixed / added in another patch.

I've seen a few games that have differing options in their manuals.
An example would be Jedi Outcast, that showed maps in the manual that weren't out untill a couple of patches later.

We must find it. Even WHEN other modding tools come out, the in-game Galaxy Editor is a great tool to do the finnishing touches! I too tried, but no luck. We MUST find it!!

You'll have access to it soon™, I promise.
No one is keeping things from you for trivial reasons, trust me.
There are plenty of other things to play around with in the meantime, but you're not going to get activation instructions for this one quite yet.
Sorry

I promise to buy you all a round at a local pub if I bump into you.

Cheers

Pssh, I wish when they said that Modding X3 will be easier they instead correctly say scripting X3 will be easier because I doubt any the devs are going to lift a finger to help the True MODDING community, not scripting. Modding and Scripting are two different things, I can't believe they messed it up on all the previews...

Well, thanks anyway Burianek. At least you let us know the situation

Please don't confuse limited support at the beginning when all of us are still hunting down core areas of the game to improve / fix with limited support over the life of the game.
If I remember correctly the script editor / galaxy editor weren't released for X2 right away either. Don't worry, things are chaotic still right now. They will settle down and things will fall into place. (as is the natural course of pretty much any released game) In the meantime, there honestly is quite a lot you can play with.

I understand your frustration. It's likely born of the same deep desire I have to take anything and make it better. I promise you'll get your opportunity.
