Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
Does there happen to be a comparison anywhere between this mod in current state and CWIR? I am looking to try one of them soon. Thanks!

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
If I remember correctly, CWIR is discontinued. The contents of CWIR is then reorganized into NF (this mod).
The future awaits.
X4 Foundations mods:
Civilian Fleets: Managing your civilian ships has never been easier.
Station Logistics: Managing your station networks has never been easier.
Scrap Delivery Coordination: No more starving scrap processors.

SALVAGE
So what i need for SALVAGE
I use a ROMIKRON in my game, i have captain,pilot,architect,defence officer,engineer on it.
Also 150 marines and marine officer
Also 100 construction drones
Also 20 cargolifter drone
When i select a wreck repair service etc the SALVAGE option is grayed and the others two options (Just Restore Ship and Recycle wreck) does nothing.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
My mistake.Conflict with CARRIERS mod.Salvage works.
Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
That isn’t entirely true. It isn’t discontinued, it’s complete. New Frontier includes CWIR and some experimental stuff, some of which was never completed.Vectorial1024 wrote: ↑Mon, 11.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
Could you please point out roughly which parts of NF are complete? I haven’t found this info. Thanks!

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
So CWIR is mostly "complete" - and NF is CWIR + experimental beta stuff (play at your own risk ..) ?
Will it be finished - or is NF then "discontinued" .... (looks like ..)

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
New Frontier was an new trail for lot of things that not possible with exisitng way of CWIR finally
so NF have Assets and base idea from CWIR includet, but most is complete new codebase with focus on modular and compatibility - CWIR with *some kinky beta stuff* do not match it for real
in difference to CWIR i add lot of my mod -Stuff by default into NF and put it more together, for CWIR you may use this stuff optional
In the end, some engine limitations (for me these are bugs - but ES not care about) require lot of workarounds, also X4 was out meanwhile, so it is like it is to play - but thats not more "Beta" like other mods - simply some "compatibility bridges" for other extentions (you may find in readme) haven't updated a long time a some get new assets - that may not work well, as far you not use these extensions there is no greater problem - on the other side you may disable Shipparts extention, then it should no problem too
NF should be a developing game with growing factions, original CWIR has a much more action focused scripting

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
Is there an Hope NF will be finished ..... atm i prefer CWIR as it is staded as "complete" ... would not sink 100+hours in an game and then the save is corrupt/un-usable and i loost the save.....
As the info is not very detailed to say "NF is save to play actual" or "NF wants to accumulate errors sooner or later and then with enough errors crash/get unplayable" ....
Regards

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
Nothing suspect about NF. I've got hundred+ hours on it. Some things might not be as expansive as they could, but it works as well as you'd expect from Rebirth. Zero save issues.
You can play even the normal campaign, it works with NF no problem. I've done it fully. Exra sector mods work...
In the end it kind of just shows the limitations of the base game. Things work well, there's an economy. It's just boring and too time-consuming to become a multiple factory owner. Getting even a single factory running is a big effort. Then you'd have to adjust the trading for it etc. If it could achieve similar feeling like Victoria 2's economy does then it would be perfect. But the feeling of dominating the factory side of the game just isn't there. It's a nice small ship campaign wargame in a big set, that ended up exploring the concepts and polished a new engine to be usable for X4.
Salvage gameplay and running a fleet campaign idea is good for at least some twenty hours.
NF with its shipparts and proper zone/sector trading is as close to proto-X4 as one can get. With better visuals (esp. Omicron Lyrae ships, capital ship interior mod and gorgeous skyboxes in OL) and campaign pre X4-dlcs.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
CWIR alleviates some of this which is what makes it much more action/fast paced. Of course, this means there is some "cheating" so to speak but it is up to you to use those features. For example, there is a feature which makes it so that as long as you add enough credits, your stations will get built even if there is a shortage of resources in the universe. It will "spawn" resources into the CV every once in a while at the cost of credits obviously. This makes building stations much faster and easier to manage. Those who are purists might not like this, but I always used it. Of course, once your economy is well established you probably don't need to do this anymore. There are other cool features in there too, like salvaging ships, boarding/capturing stations, gifting stations to factions, and so much more. Of course many of these features are in NF too.magitsu wrote: ↑Wed, 9. Sep 20, 17:34Nothing suspect about NF. I've got hundred+ hours on it.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
My only big question these days is whether the ship parts was better than the alternative. I basically played only with it on and couldn't even tell which other mods supposedly didn't work with it.
Somehow it felt like it bypassed certain factories completely. But there is demand and fluctuation.
Is there a better way to set up the stations than having to set each component buy/sell prices to some reasonable average within certain range?
If I could just streamline the process into assigning the staff, money and trade ships then I could consider running factories. For now salvage gameplay with its buggyness/jankiness remains the more entertaining one.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
Excellent mod, I've been playing it for a few weeks in XR:VR seemingly without issue.
However I don't seem to be able to access the sectors/clusters added by the Lost Sectors and Herschel's Gift mods. Both are enabled with the NF patches in my extensions list, and I know lost sectors is definitely installed as the ships and weapons it adds are there, and the gamestarts lost sectors added do start me in either Source of Darkness or that other place with the pulsar, but in my main save I still can't find where the gates to those sectors are from the vanilla locations.
I'm starting to wonder if it's the VR version having an altered universe that's affected the gate placement but I'm not sure, where are the entrances supposed to be?

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
@huiiuh It could be that Lost Sectors / Herschel's Gift is not compatible with XR:VR. The altered universe in the VR edition is actually stored in differently named files from the original, so it could be that the alterations that those mods make simply don't apply.
If that is the problem then you could try using the X-R Vanilla Recall Collection mod which restores the unaltered original X:R universe in XR:VR. You'd need to start a new game for that though. Not sure it everything will work, when I did my The New Frontier playthrough on XR:VR I wasn't using Lost Sectors or Herschel's Gift.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
Thank you! The vanilla recall mod did the trick. I haven't fully tested it to the Lost Sectors gates yet, but I started the vanilla campaign and the gate to Herschel's Gift was there and functional in Dormant Bear.
One small bug I found was loading a save a few mins into the campaign after the Yisha fixes the boost makes the engine decal load in the cockpit completely obscuring the view, but just buying a new engine fixed it permanently, if anyone else gets the same issue.
Other than that it all seems to work well in VR, and it's really nice having an expanded universe to explore.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
This looks like a great mod.
This question regards the VR version of X-Rebirth
Below is the modlist I am using and I would like to know which of these are compatible and which of these are not or are already incorporated in NF.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
Hey, i short tested new frontiers together with my mods (Improved Vanilla Clusters, Treasure Chest, etc....). So far it seems to work, but i just got a lot of lagspikes (might be also related to other mods i use).

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
these mods still includet in NewFrontier, so this won't work together
regarding boarding Mods and others, you can unpack or if not in cat/dat style, directly compare files of these mods
i do not have the VR Version, just add any tag it may run
Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier

Thank you for the heads up. I will try these mods both with CWIR and with New Frontier. Both NF and CWIR work with X-rebirth, it's just modwise, you have to be a bit careful.
danke sehr.

Re: [WIP] X Rebirth: The New Frontier
I've been playing for a couple of days, really like what I'm seeing so far!
Had a weird experience though; I captured an Ayosana for salvaging purposes, and successfully restored a Balor wreck. While the Balor was docked to the Ayosana, the Ayosana had an option in its orders titled "start ship". I selected this, thinking it would start up the Balor or something similar. Instead, it spawned dozens upon dozens of hostile pirate fighter craft, which began to rampage throughout the zone. On the upside, I got a few more wrecks to salvage out of it
What is the "start ship" option supposed to do?
