Loot Box lifetime
Does anyone know, if it's possible to edit the time before dropped items destroy themselves. Or is a mod out there for this?
Re: Loot Box lifetime
parameters.xml
Code: Select all
<replace sel="//drop/timeout[@min='1200']/@min">####</replace>
<replace sel="//drop/timeout[@max='1800']/@max">####</replace>

Re: Loot Box lifetime
Are you saying that if one were to make a folder in extensions (let's call it /loot_lasts_longer) and then make a .dat file (ext_01.dat?) in it with only the contents:DeadAirRT wrote: ↑Wed, 24. Mar 21, 19:27parameters.xmlCode: Select all

Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
<replace sel="//drop/timeout[@min='1200']/@min">2400</replace>
<replace sel="//drop/timeout[@max='1800']/@max">3600</replace>
</diff>
Anything else? Does it need a .cat and/or a content.xml?

I answered the question based on assuming knowledge of modding for x4
Make a folder for your mod in extensions
Create a content file for it (you can copy the majority of the structure from another mod)
Create a sub folder called "libraries"
Create a file called parameters.xml
In parameters.xml put the xml header (can copy from any diff file)
Put the two lines of code and replace #### with your own numbers (this is in second)

Re: Loot Box lifetime
it did not work!
the parameter seems not to be for the drops lifetime after a ship is destroyed.
i stopped a self-destruction time of ~5 minutes on 6 loot boxes.
1200 are 20 minutes. so there must be another parameter for the loot box lifetime....
everything was better in X3!

Re: Loot Box lifetime
There may be a limit on the times you can use. I notice then lasting longer but I never timed it12vh3 wrote: ↑Sun, 20. Jun 21, 04:46it did not work!
