I love X-Studio but one thing I hate having to do every time it starts is to put in the admin password when I know that it doesn't need any admin rights, all my game files are owned by my (non-admin) user. I've tried using things like "PE Editors" to remove the manifest from the binary that says it should prompt for admin but that didn't do anything.

Did anyone manage to make X-Studio run without administrator rights?

Does anyone have a working download link for the source code package?

X-Studio.v1.08.14.Feb.2014
Data type [DATATYPE_PASSENGER] does not work!
In order to work it is necessary to reassign the type [DATATYPE_PASSENGER] in the game editor.

[Deniskos]

If I create a new script in x-studio with Custom Syntax, then after changing and saving the script in the game editor, x-studio does not recognize new commands.

[FritzHugo3]

Dont like my Steamversion, dont accept the path.
Any idears?

Gibts eine Lösung dafür?

Understood, it's all about the script engine version.

[Perahoky]

Could we make a github project for this tool?
Thanks

PS sorry if that was asked before, couldnt found.

We could expand this tool alltogether...

[SirNukes]

As a workaround for the DATATYPE_PASSENGER bug, I put together a short python script that scans the x3 scripts for the bug when using "is datatype" commands and patches them. The intention is to run it after editing a script in X-Studio that might suffer from this bug. This requires Python 3.6+ and the lxml package, and the buggy script should be in xml format. Feel free to edit the scanning/saving behavior as desired for convenience.

Code: Select all

'''
All xml scripts will be opened and scanned for an x-studio bug with
datatype codes.

Usage:
    - Run from the directory with the scripts to be checked.
    - When a bug is found and patched, press 'y' or 'n' and <enter>
      to confirm the file overwrite.
'''
'''
This will look for script command 125 ("%0 is datatype[%1] == %2"),
aiming to repair DATATYPE_PASSENGER, which xstudio saves as 0x0001A
when it should be 0x1001A.

Example:
    <sval type="array" size="6">
    	<sval type="int" val="125" />
    	<sval type="int" val="1" />
    	<sval type="int" val="131074" />
    	<sval type="int" val="0" />
    	<sval type="int" val="20" />
    	<sval type="int" val="26" />
    </sval>
The last "26" will become "65562".

SirNukes, you're an angel.

Will try this at home and post back if I run into any issues, but for now: thank you very much indeed!

I have added missing commands that were now available at AP3.3 over a Custom Syntax File. For interest have a look here: viewtopic.php?f=94&t=417934

Hello everyone,

I hope everybody is well.

I haven't been on this forum for a long long time.

I've been wondering lately if anybody still uses this software that I wrote, X-Studio or X-Studio II?

I realize I haven't released any updates for nearly 10 years.. *awkward cough*
and Egosoft have even released several games over that period

I don't actually game much anymore but I realized I should be putting some effort into keeping this software up-to-date for all of you folks who are using it for developing your mods.

I'd like to get a sense of

• a) how many people still use this software?
• b) what are the known bugs?
• c) what are you feature requests?

Thanks & Happy New Year!

[alexalsp]

I think at least officially add support

viewtopic.php?f=201&t=444078

I don't develop mods, but I use a program to view scripts, txt files and some minor edits.

And I think it would be great to update the program.

i've been using your X-Studio for 2 years now. As a complete beginner it helped me greatly to dive deep into extensive modding projects. So huge thanks for this!

The only issue which comes to mind is that the external script dependency search somehow never yielded any results for me. I couldn't examine which scripts call for a specific script. It doesn't seem like a file access problem since the program got Admin rights. In the end i just substituted this missing feature with Notepad+ and this works for me.

Still use your software, mainly to make some personal LU mods.
The only issue I've noticed is that the program hangs once in a blue moon when I try to close it, but I don't know if that's caused by the program itself or some issue with my computer.

As for feature requests, changing font size would be nice. My middle aged eyes have started to struggle a bit with the font, so if it's at all possible to make it bigger that would be nice.
Also, since I'm a greenhorn when it comes to modding, and read the command descriptions constantly to find out what the command actually does, having a way to read the command descriptions without having to hover the cursor over the command and then move it every 10 seconds because it disappears would be really helpful.

I also use this software anytime I play X3AP and want to tweak things. only current issue is trying to locate the info needed to correctly identify Litcube / Mayhem Zerohour commands.
Since there are unrecognized commands showing.

I also use X3 Editor 2, until I can find a better program.
I haven't looked at XStudio2 yet.

[Cycrow]

Updating for the X3FL could be useful to get more people to starting modding in FL
