From Scratch Start Issue
Anyone know if the from scratch start is currently bugged? When I start a new game with it, it loads in briefly, the ship zones in to some sector and then the game hangs on the "Mayhem Initializing" message and the "entering sector" audio looping. The regular start works fine. I ran through it just to see the tutorial messages.
I also tried the vagrant start (same as From Scratch, but with no OCV) and the same thing happened. I have tried uninstalling X3AP, LCU, and Mayhem and doing a fresh install with no other mods and still had no luck.

Works fine for me. Have you edited any scripts?zinlakin wrote:Anyone know if the from scratch start is currently bugged?

Indeed. I was experiencing this in my current game until it became too tedious to just defend the sector again and again.Betelgeuse97 wrote: The Ministry of War will say that that race is still attacking your sector. Could be a bug, because I've stopped NPC invasions completely in my sector long before and it still shows.
What really happens is that they'll keep invading until either:
a. You lose the sector.
b. You kill the invasion fleet, its home shipyard, and have either you or someone else take over their sector next to yours.
Note that my only mean of defence was a large orbital weapons plateform since I did not have any means of producing ships yet. I also did not have the firepower to attack the split shipyard/adjacent sector.
What this means for me is that the game forces you to do the things below:
1.Befriend all the races that are adjacent to you (If you don't have the firepower to defend then attack)
2.If you are a rogue (for exemple), only claim sectors once you have enough firepower to defend and to attack.
3.Only claim sectors that are in a line. (I can't imagine having constant invasions against several sectors)
Joubarbe,
Why not introduce a war score for the player like other races? If the player keeps winning, at some point he gets victory in that conflict and the race can try another time.
I'm naturally unfriendly sometimes. Don't take what I say too badly.
I'm not sure which ones you are talking about to be honest. I just started playing X3 about a week ago. I have a cursory undertanding of naming the cat/dat files in ascending order depending on what you want loaded, but I couldnt find an installation guide for mayhem (I searched google, this forum, and the download webpage). I installed LU with the installer and then copied each folder from the Mayhem zip file into the X3 folder and clicked replace for all conflicted files. The folders were addon, object, and soundtrack I believe, though I didnt see an object file in the original x3 folder so I just pasted it into the main directory.Joubarbe wrote:Did you rename .cat/.dat in X3/addon/ ?
Anywho, if there is one could you link the installation guide?
I really appreciate the help.

I found the installation guide on the downloads web page and redid everything per the instructions. The "Vagrant" and "From Scratch" starts are now working. You guys are awesome, thank you!.
One other thing I'd like to ask, is there anything like a wiki or guide for getting started in Mayhem like there is on the LU website? I've tried searching around to find answers to my questions like "Where do I get a repair laser since my astronaught doesn't have one" and "Where do I buy factories", but am getting no where fast. Like I said, I'm still pretty new to X3AP in general, but love the idea of Mayhem, so I want to learn in there.
Thanks for the help!

If you do #1 and that faction keeps attacking you, befriending won't help. You'll get reputation temporarily but it'll drop back down to -5 when they launch another wave from the same shipyard. This goes back to having you kill the shipyard and take over or befriend the adjacent faction to get them to permanently stop.

A long time ago, when I was playing XRM, I noticed that defend station and assassination missions were spawning not only pirate exclusive ships (Galleon, Carrack, etc.), but other commonwealth ships too (Shrike, Raven, Minotaur, mostly Teladi ships). Is this editable? If some scripts are somewhat clear to me (I edited cmd.deploysat.xml and it actually works like I wanted it to), files from director folder are just a set of numbers.
I understand that I'm asking too many (silly) questions here, but still ... Would be nice to see more different ships during generic missions. Thanks

I just experienced this. Damn split traitors.Betelgeuse97 wrote: If you do #1 and that faction keeps attacking you, befriending won't help.
