I apologize for not getting back with you sooner. I've been rather preoccupied lately. I did just now check, and I am receiving the same error you have. I'll try to find time to fix, and will post here when I have done so. It may be a week or so before I can do this.

Thanks for patience.

The download link's domain has expired. Is there a mirror? I'd really like to give this mod a try.

I received a PM the other day asking if this mod is still available, since the old links no longer work. The mod is still available for download. I suggest you first install the Installer due to how this mod creates a completely new map. I just checked, and everything still works.

The Installer is available here. I have updated the OP link to reflect the correct download link.

Once installed, you should have an icon on your desktop for "t2config". Run the program and press the "Download Full" button. After the download completes, press "Install Full". It will then ask you to browse to the game installation location. Check to see that the mod is selected and you should be good to go.

Note: It has been several years since I have done anything with this mod, and I am no longer supporting it beyond this post.

Thanks.

No where to be found

This site linking is no longer valid. This is no longer available to anyone. Are there people that have this and can upload the file for others to enjoy?

I do wish egosoft would host the files so this doesn't become the norm for files of programs they still sell to the public. Its not like the HD space would be much of an expense.

@reheat: I updated the link the other day when I made my previous post and I just checked again. The link works fine for me.

[EDIT] Correction, the link in my previous pose was correct, but apparently I didn't update the OP link - which is now updated and verified.

In case anyone is interested, I decided to revive the old x3dmod forum. I haven't done anything with it since 2011, and likely won't be doing anything there for the time-being, but I thought some of you still involved in X3 modding might find some of the old modding information available there useful.

I know it's a pretty old mod at this point, but anyone have a working link? I'd love to give it a try.

Hello Slushman.
The forum for Transcend is still offline. I have no idea when Observe is going to put it back up. Haven't heard from him in quite a while.

Hello. Thanks! I'm Stu Austin, one of the modders who worked on it along with Observe. Observe had the Transcend forum Board with the files coming from an FTP site but problems arose with the board and it had to be shut down permenmatly due to hackers destroying it.
I'll see if I can do something to get it posted somewhere. And see if I can find all of the downloadable files for Transcend 2.

Hi Stu. Thanks for responding. Good to see you!

@odin kree: As Stu mentioned, the URL's for downloading the mod are no longer valid. Because this mod is a major departure from the standard game, it requires an installation program for switching between standard and Transcend.

Here is a work-around you can use:

1. Download and install the installer program linked in the opening post of this thread. Note where you install it.

2. Download the mod files here: transcendII.zip

3. Copy the downloaded file (transcendII.zip) to the install program directory 't2Config/mods' (you noted above).

4. Open the file t2ver2.txt in the t2Config directory.

4a. Look for text 'ver_downloaded: 0.0.0'. Change value to 4.0.5
4b. Next line ver_installed: 0.0.0 change value to 4.0.5.

Save file

5. Run t2Config installation program. Don't press buttons 'Check Updates' or 'Download full'.

6. Press button 'Install Full'. Follow instructions.

Run game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To switch back to regular X3TC:

Run t2Config program.

Press 'Standard' button if you want to run the regular game.
Press 'Transcend' button if you want to go back to Transcend game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep in mind it has been years since I played this game and I don't have it on my computer now. The above instructions should work or get you very close to working.

Ideally, I would re-compile the install program along with valid URL's. I don't have time for that.

Thank you for your interest. :)

[EDIT] I'll update the OP to reflect the new instructions sometime in the next few days.

@odin kree:

I need to know the status of the mod installation. When you say you deleted the installer, did you uninstall through Windows, or did you just delete the folder manually?

The worst that can happen, is if the mod is already installed and you try to install again with a fresh installer. I don't think this happened in your case, because you didn't get the mod files until I gave you the working link the other day.

Just to be sure, please check a couple of your X3TC game folders:

1. Look in X3TC game folder\loadscr. Is there a file named loadscr_old.zip?
2. Look in X3TC game folder\mov. Do any of following exit: orig_00044.pck, orig_00812.dat, orig_00812.dat, t2_00812.dat, t2_00813.dat?

Please let me know what you see.

If those file don't exist, it means the mod never got installed and the issue is easy to remedy. Once I hear back from you, I will attempt to help you sort this out.

This means the mod did install. One more check: Do the files transcendII.cat and transcendII.dat exist in the game directory\mods mods folder?

If so, the game should run. Make sure you Select Mod Package at game startup. No need to run the installer again right now. We can get that working later if/when you want to switch back to vanilla game.

If still not working, I'm not sure what to do since I don't have the game to verify. I don't know what the message you encountered "account already exists" refers to.
