So mods run under win7 steam properly

[lutschkuchen]

Hello @ all
Since I had problems with the mods with Windows 7 and Steam at X4 Foundation when they were in the games folder, X4 crashed.
And under My files some mods did not work properly, because some file could not be found.

I would like to present you my solution now.

I put the mod under "C: \ Users \ <UserName> \ Documents \ Egosoft \ X4 \ <SteamID> \ extensions"

Then added a start option "-logfile debuglog.txt" on Steam to see if the affected mod needs help.
such as. something like this

Code: Select all

 [= ERROR =] 0.00 File I / O: Could not find file '. \ extensions \ ejected \ assets \ units \ size_s \ macros \ ship_s_theseus_macro' 

I then got the X: R Catalog Tool and then packed the mod. When packing should then be viewed from the perspective of the X4.exe.
e.g.

Code: Select all

 \ extensions \ The_Teleportation_Wars \ ... 

Then I looked at the directory of X4, 09.cab is the last of Egosoft, so I saved it as 10.cab.
(Attention to future updates from Egosoft, if necessary, the numbering must be adjusted.)

If the mods get along, you can put them in a cab, or create a custom cab file 10.cab, 11.cab, etc. for each one.

In this way I got the mods to work:

• The Teleportation Wars 2
• Outcast Pushed out
• Hiressat

Hope I could help you with this.
All the best

You can download the file on the homepage of Egosoft.
Do you find them: left hand, download, X rebirth, bonus tools, X Rebirth Catalog Tool 1.10
you have to log in

sorry, unfortunately, my english is not so good to you to post a guide, please search times in the forum afterwards you will definitely find something, given times look in the X rebirth forum.

Hi,
thats how I do it in 4 steps:


with this + adding to the content.xml my language gets every mod working within the game/extensions/folder on W7/W8.
The content.xml for W7/W8 should look like this:


if the link on the egosoft homepage is not working one can find it easily over google searching for "x rebirth catalog tool 1.10" within the first 10 results

best regards
