Feature request: paint jobs on custom starts

[gorman2040]

64 new. I added their paint code and name to the Wiki tonight. I don't have the rest of the information to fully fill them out. It's a start tho.

Thanks for adding the info to the Wiki! Looking forward to try those new paintjobs in my next game.

At the time I also updated every single paint mod image for the wiki. Never could get them uploaded. You don't even want to know how much work that was lol. Sad they never got used.

Weird, I initially uploaded all the ones currently present. I now see I cannot edit the page anymore.
I have looked around to understand what is happening but beside the Wiki being read-only, all the posts I've read said you can edit the Wiki...

The old X4 standard Wiki service has fairly recently been moved across to XWiki and that ongoing process may have changed some pages' attributes and access to allow a stable transfer. It's probably best to e-mail info@egosoft.com if you have a specific query or concern that you wish to resolve right away.

This is what dev CBJ said about the transfer in July 2023.

Not accessible as forum user / with my account.

Also, is there a link to the new wiki? (forums navigation still points to Confluence as do all the links on the homepage I checked (FAQ, X4 wiki ...) The link provided by you points to the software which is used, not the egosoft instance.

Oh sorry, it had been archived. This is what dev CBJ said on 17 July 2023:

"Change of plan! After some re-evaluation of the functionality, features and tools available, we're now switching our Wiki over to a site based on the appropriately-named XWiki. The first part of this, the Troubleshooting section, has now gone public. "

Once I discovered I couldn't append the wiki imagery (192 images), I reached out via this forum in the wiki help thread and explained the issue. I also left a dropbox link to the images. At this point I've no bandwidth left and would prefer to "pass the torch".

I wasn't able to find a link to the new XWiki myself, I will wait and come back at it in a few weeks/months and see where it's at.

Cheers

EDIT: I can't seem to edit Xwiki, however...somebody updated the paintmods with the new imagry.

Good find!

Of course it's port 1337...

Roger that, I'll keep this as a reference but I assume if it has not been published at large, it is still under construction.

I am a big fan of Confluence, having used it a lot at work but this XWiki seems pretty good too.

Thank you all for sharing and our mysterious contributor (Daniel Turner?)

Unrelated but to limit number of posts, I just noticed the ships given as reward for guild or war missions may have custom paintjobs.
I just got a Terran Miner with the Disposal Unit 3 paintjob which makes it look like they're giving me a ship that was ready for retirement

[gorman2040]

OMG! I just found out you can use "redesign" for a group of ships! This is so cool and will save much time

Somehow I was convinced it only worked for a single ship.

Thank you Egosoft!

Paintjob-list in the wiki only goes as high as 125 paintjobs. As of now there are 190 in the gamefiles (libraries/paintmods.xml)

Here is a more complete list:

I've got a video showing all of them:
https://youtu.be/Jt9QaWr6eMo?si=Jh-6R00bUcS7rXWz

Unfortunately, the sector is a bit dark, or maybe the sun just isn't a very pure white, so some colors don't show well. J.B.C. and Relic Hunter really shouldn't look so similar.
