Change sectors - the display will reset.

That does the trick. Thanks.

I had an odd bug where I could not pick up crates by running into them, I only passed through them. It was solved by completely exiting the game and then starting it again. Has anyone experienced this before? I can't find bug information on it, and it may not be XRM specific.

Search the Internet for X3AP (or X3TC) map.
As far as I remember, there's only one way out of Terran space.

Is there a good tread for freighter configuration? I have been setting up Baldricks with max shields and engine tuning. I arm the turrets. Will the turrets automatically defend the ship on AI? Or do I need to buy Fight software and give the turrets Attack enemy or defend ship orders?

You'll need Fight software, and set the turret command to "Defense" or "Missile defense".

Wrong, there are two ways out of the Terran Space

Through "Asteroids Belt -> Heretics End ->"

Through "Neptune -> Althes -> Megnir -> Segaris -> Xenon Sectors ->"(this route is only for Albion Prelude)
Both X-universe Maps (for TC and AP) you can find on first page of this thread:
XRM: Albion Prelude Map
XRM: Terran Conflict Map

In my game I can find them in sectors "ATF Forsetti" and "Dark Space Cluster". But I don't know how it is with their stock. Mainly I buy satellites through bartering system.

Did you turn collisions off for some reason? If that's the case then you also wouldn't be able to fly through gates etc

Very new to X3 and XRM. Having a bit of trouble.

Running X3 Albion Prelude latest version from steam (auto updates disabled in steam for x3tc and ap)

I do not have plugin manager installed. I started a new game after fresh install as 'humble merchant'. Testing ware cost and size in terracorp hq in home of light.

I have deleted the entire directory and installed fresh with x3tc/AP from steam, NO OTHER MODS, just XRM.

Installed latest version of XRM from the first page and followed the instructions exactly (01-04 cat/dat in my x3tc/addon directory as stock, added part 1 and part 2 as 05 cat/dat and 06 cat/dat respectively)

scripts_ap contents into the addon/scripts folder, t copied to addon/t, director folder copied to x3tc/addon, mov copied to x3tc/addon, deleted 00044.pck, copied soundtrack contents to x3tc/soundtrack. overwrite whenever prompted

game starts and runs fine but I really want to edit the price of trader mk3 software (and the price of jumpdrive initially, size is fine). this is where I have issues however... In short, I want to make the trader mk3 software and jump drive their vanilla prices for now.

I installed x3editor2 and opened x3tc/addon/06.cat (should be my part 2 cat) and opened 'types' and then twaret.pck.

Now several oddities: in game the jumpdrive shows up as an XL ware as described, this doesnt bother me much I can live with that. BUT when i open the twaret.pck it shows as an L ware (should show up as XL in the twaret.pck correct?). I can also edit the 'value' and 'value (player)' fields all I want and the cost in game never changes for any item/ware/etc that I try. Making sure to save after I edit and overwrite after each edit. 06.cat is the highest cat in my addon directory and as stated before no other mods installed yet, no plugin manager either.

Also, tried undocking, redocking. switching systems and back again to terracorp hq, no change.

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious and easy but I just dont know enough about this game yet to catch it.

EDIT... it was a simple issue, in x3editor2, i was opening the 06.cat then clicking 'types' and then 'twaret.pck'.

What I had to do to get it to work was open 06.cat then go into the 'addon' folder then 'types' and then 'twaret.pck'

Able to adjust as necessary now, and actually only want one jumpdrive and one mk3 sw 'on the cheap' (plan on changing it back afterword) because i'm a bit jaded I had to start over after installing XRM lol.

Thanks to the mod creators for such an excellent piece of work.

@PaulWheeler

Isvthere any plan or inclination to add the TC Plots via:
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=353528

The reason I ask is im hoping there is a way to include the plots (specifficlly Final Fury) but still use the advanced universe module.

Thanks

No plans as it requires a significant redesign of the map.

Hi, is there a ship list and stats for all ships in XRM Albion prelude as I am unsure which TS I should buy.

Can beta kyon emitters be bought via the barter system?

FischAP · Post by **FischAP** » Sat, 25. Jan 14, 23:19

Hi!

As i approach the end of the Shady Business plot (only 47 Xenon capitals to go ...) i wonder what will happen.
If i understood right this will end the war, but XRM has its own war.
Will i just get the reward, or will the terran war really be over ?

Something I noticed while flying around the gamma sectors in terran space. ATF mapping service mammoths. From what I understand the ATF faction was either changed,removed,disabled for the purpose the mod but these remnants from vanilla are still spawning in terran space. I've reinstalled the mod to make sure it wasn't an installation problem and I'm not using any other mods.

Etyneo · Post by **Etyneo** » Sun, 26. Jan 14, 05:33

The ATF was not removed or disabled, though it may have been changed. They have shiny new ships, and at least one sector, ATF Forseti, though it may technically be Terran.

Just wanted to share a small modification of mine.

While I greatly enjoy playing XRM, my weak laptop is not always up to the task so I have made some modifications to improve performance, this is one of them.

It's a modified jobs file thats an equivalent of Unleashed jobs but for XRM, I kept most of the flavor while reducing Civilians, speeding up traders, and so on.

http://www.gamefront.com/files/24009910/Jobs.rar

To install: Just unrar it into your addon/types/ folder.

Cedric_FP · Post by **Cedric_FP** » Sun, 26. Jan 14, 08:33

Can you detail exactly what is changed? Also, how did it improve performance? Since i play X3 on my Surface Pro 2 (i4200u, HD4400), I'm definitely interested.

Igor.tverd · Post by **Igor.tverd** » Sun, 26. Jan 14, 09:45

- Added engine tunnings to traders
- Reduced 1000+ civilians to 150ish, keeping all the names ones
- Reduced Khaak spawn (got annoying)
- Reduced some M5 patrols (very little)
- Reduced Khaak Home defense m5 spawns

In my game (not included here) I've also replaced all the High polly ship models with MK1 capitals (made the game experience way different - read more fun)
Replaced a lot of standard ship models with less polly ones from the German forum
Replaced Terran stations with smaller versions
+ Improved Combat Frame Rate

Now I'm probably going to change Khaak beam weapons to a less laggy version. Having just fought a Khaak corvete made me realize how bad it was for performance.

Cedric_FP · Post by **Cedric_FP** » Sun, 26. Jan 14, 09:51

Thank you for the details. I may have to try it!

paulwheeler · Post by **paulwheeler** » Sun, 26. Jan 14, 11:34

Please do not post that in this thread. It is not endorsed by me and will not be compatible with future xrm releases.

I advise against installing modifcations that alter core xrm files. They can cause many problems if the author does not keep up with future xrm releases and update their files. There have now been several mods like this which have been abandoned by their authors and installing them with later xrm versions can cause lots of problem.

I cannot offer support to anyone running this.
