UniTrader wrote:aiscript.xsd and md.xsd may help you. (both to be found in the libraries-folder) they also include the common.xsd.

Also be sure to check out scriptproperties.html in your main .cat extract folder (it's right up front -- not in any of the subfolders -- and it opens fine with a web browser).

It's about the most complete and readable catalog of script properties, parameters, types, and dependencies that we've got so far.

I can't say I am sure, but I'd say that the "..\X Rebirth\_CommonRedist\Extensions\OverrideObstructionCheck" should look more like ..\X Rebirth\Extensions\OverrideObstructionCheck"
So, by moving Extensions to X Rebirth root directory, the problem should be corrected.

I tried to open one of the core image files in gimp:

assets\fx\gui\textures\target_elements\tsys_build_act.tga

I've got this:

Opening 'D:\Steam\steamapps\common\X Rebirth\actions_build\actions_build.tga' failed: TarGA image plug-In could not open image

Post by **UniTrader** » Sat, 7. Dec 13, 10:48

isnt this a dds file instead of tga?

and you dont have to decompress texture files when using gimp, it decompresses gz automagically

(and reads the correct file type based on file contents, so i think there is no need for a file name extension)

I was missing the plug-in it works now. Thanks anyway I did not know I don't have to decompress.

I'm really new in modding so I decided to just ask. Is there a way to tell for this game to skip whole xml file and to use one provided by mod instead?
Target file is targetpoints.xml in library folder.

Post by **UniTrader** » Sat, 7. Dec 13, 21:38

why do you want to replace this file?

anyway: no simple way, you have to create a diff which replaces the whole content:

<diff>
<replace sel='/targetpoints' >

</replace>
</diff>

i would not recommend this because it may cause incompatibilites with all mods which change this file.

and since you probably tried the obvious way (putting a modified core file in the same folder and changing it) - this wont work, the new file is treated as addition in that case. (see 2nd post in the xml guide sticky)

Because there is over 10000 targetpoints. I figured I could use search and replace function in XML editor but not sure how that would work with patch method.

i still dont get what exactly you want to change there...

To increase max range where you can scan or hack. If I'm not completely mistaking, it's the R="X" value in "point" entry. Correct me if I'm wrong

Post by **UniTrader** » Sat, 7. Dec 13, 22:52

hmm, for that msel would be useful.. not sure if XR supports it though..

Code: Select all

	<replace sel="/unlocks/globals">
		<globals maxdistance="6km" threshold="5km" rechecktime="5s" >
			<infopoint memorydistance="5km" memoryangle="45" memorytime="1h" />
			<missionoffer memorydistance="5km" memoryangle="45" memorytime="1h" />      
			<platform memorydistance="5km" memoryangle="45" memorytime="1h" />
			<tradeoffer memorydistance="5km" memoryangle="45" memorytime="4h" />
  </globals>		
	</replace>

and for hacking there is (assets\props\SurfaceElements\Macros\unit_player_drone_*)

Code: Select all

  <macro name="unit_player_drone_hackerprobe_macro" class="hackerprobe">
    <component ref="generic_hackerprobe" />
    <properties>
      <identification unique="0" />
      <hack range="1000" angle="15" />
    </properties>
  </macro>

So its in there, no need to go over 10k info points...

The example-file osr_universe.rar is down, please reup. (Maybe with one or two mirrors.)

Commodore MJ Fire · Post by **Commodore MJ Fire** » Thu, 23. Jan 14, 21:57

No, only the link is down, changed to http://www.nexusmods.com/xrebirth/mods/28/? but Nexusmods changed their rules so nothing bigger than 2mb can be downloaded from this side. I,m NOT ready getting another new account to another side I don't know, so please reload it to complete free sides like mega.co.nz so that everyone in this forum can get it and not only the few members of Nexusmods.
greetings, MJ Fire

Does anybody have a clue, how the trading computer adds the station offers to the trading menu? And if we are at it, i can't even find that menu in the files.

Post by **UniTrader** » Sun, 26. Jan 14, 17:42

probably a hard coded way (i dont know a way to do it that way) but there is a workaround: add the Trade Offer to something in Player posession

(have a look inth my Info Broker to see how its done
