He edited the tships.txt file (after extracting the game cats) and altered the ship class identifier on the Express from TP to M3.
The maker of the Exodus mod did something similar when he added the old X2 TP Express model and classed it as M3 so it could dock with the mothership.

Yep. In my case, I copied the Argon Express, and pasted it after the last entry at the bottom (make sure the "sorted" check box is UNchecked). Changed it's variation index to a Vanguard (can't remember the number off hand) to make it unique. Then I changed the class description to match that of an M3 (again, can't remember the number). Finally, changed the ship type (one of the top entries on the info tab) to M3. In game, it is read as an M3 (has the M3 icon as well).
You could just as easily do it with the existing Express/other TPs, but that would change all of them, even the ones the NPC fly. This is why I made the Vanguard variant, so it wouldn't affect the NPC.
Since the script allows TS's to dock as well, I suppose in theory you could do the same thing to a TS entry. That is if you don't want to use the script.

1) Make sure the script editor is enabled in your game (check stickies on how to do that)BongTut wrote:I Know this sounds stupid,...but I have yet to find the way to dock ANYTHING on a TL...nothing in the manual...or FAQs...there is somthing I am totally missing, can somone please help a cluless person?
2) Install the script, on this page you will find both the spk and the zip version, choose the one you prefer
3) Install a Transporter Device on the M1/TL.
4) Go to the command console of a TS/TP and you should find the "dock" command (if I remember correctly it should be in the navigation menu)

find the directory where your x3.exe is and just extract the zip to that location

Yes... But by moding a line in the components.txt (not scriptable).Donsja wrote:Can it be done, so the TP will think my TL (mamont) is a station or so? so they will act like any other ship that docks to it?
The XFP mod takes advantage of changeing the docks so TS/TP's can dock at a TL / M1 as if they were a fighter.
DOCKTS help!!
I downloaded and installed the DOCK TS script but i still cant make a ts dock to a tl! I used the Script manager installer and it say its installed but it doesnt work. The DOCK TS option in the navagation menu just isnt there! Am i doing something wrong?

it should allow the normal ship cargo hold amount.

see the script editor stickie for the command not showing up as cycrow will probably be correct in assuming you have not enabled the SE
