Seriphyn: Email sent.

Chessmon, you seem to have trouble with your Email - I have the file, but was not able to send it to you.

Chessmon · Post by **Chessmon** » Tue, 30. Oct 07, 06:41

I sent you my save file few days ago. Just wondering if you got it? If you did get it then all is well,

convert it when you can, school is bogging me down

so I'm in no rush.

Once more thanx

Read the post over yours - I would have sent the correct file back to you three days ago, but it came back to me saying it was not able to deliver it to your email-account. Maybe it is full?

Chessmon · Post by **Chessmon** » Wed, 31. Oct 07, 07:24

No I'm at 7 % of 125 MB at my e-mail sight. Hmmm

I just turned off my spam filter and also deleted my block list. Is the file bigger then 10 MB? I just read the fine print I can't receive more then that in one email.
I am also sending you an e-mail with an alternate e-mail address you can send to if that doesn’t work.

Many more thanx, sorry this turned out to be so complicated.

/me walks in, casually mentions free 3 gig email at gmail.com, and casually walks back out.

SymTec ltd. walks in, mentions the Forum Rules in the aspects "advertising" and "spam", and notes that the issue has been resolved anyway.

Your script worked great for me thanks! However I have a problem in trying to find Gamma patrol since I went from non-plot to plot.

I entered HoL and it auto-targeted, was some distance off, one of the values -60km. But I had to do something, lost their target and now can't find 'em.

Any ideas to how I could find em? Special way or anything?

SymTec ltd. · Post by **SymTec ltd.** » Wed, 31. Oct 07, 21:24

Plot-question...

You first have to fly to them; so search for them in all HoL. They then flew to Red Light and to Cloudbase South-West - must be in one of the three sectors. They usually don't disappear so fast.

Oh yeas I know that I have to find them, just the fact they were so far of the map because of the converting thing, and now I can't find em, even when I race around in the Starburst...hmm maybe they have gone into the other sectors...but none of the dialogue has played

/me walks back in, after noticing there was a reply, and casually mentions that he merely meant the point of gmail's email as a way around such 'small' email as Chessmon had, thinking his post perfectly relevant, and was simply trying to aid in Chessmon's use of such a wonderful script. He also mentions that having no notice of such an issue being resolved, he thought he was actually helping , but to his own dismay, unbeknownst to him, he was not helping. He also apologizes for what was referred to as spam, and he makes a note to try and contain himself in the future from trying to aid in people's affairs online.

No problem, I am using gmail myself. The only point I wanted to make is that discussion of Email-providers really does not fit the S&M-topic, and as I was able to resolve the issue with chessmon earlier (of which you of course could not know), this post did not bring discussion on this script-topic further.

If I had know this would become such an issue with the file, I'd just have uploaded it to one of my ftp's and be done with it.

I got the file, many thanx

I followed the steps to try to import load the file. I put what you sent me in the T folder of x3. Started x3, loaded my game, then flew to a safe spot, changed my name to Thereshallbewings. Yes, the script editor did activate. But there is no "X2-X3-Converter - Decompress" command in my ships special menu.

I must be doing something simple wrong, because I'm sure I got the hard stuff right. Is there more than one special menu?

Sorry, to trouble you again, I tried for over an hour deleting and reloading the converter files, and experimenting in x3 I just a can't seem to find what I'm supposed to be finding. Any suggestions?

Do you have a "Pirate"-Menu where you can find the command in?

Otherwise, open the scripteditor, look for the script "plugin.stl.x3.globalmain", press "r" when having selected it, then press enter twice, scroll one down and press enter ("number"), enter "1" and press enter again. This is the manual start, which is the second way to start a script.

Chessmon · Post by **Chessmon** » Sat, 3. Nov 07, 04:27

I hesitiate to take more of your time, please know I am greatful.
I was able find the Piracy menu. I Went to an empty sector. I started the program. I got these messages

What does following this mean?

"Personal Log

2- There was a problem in Line: ReadText 8758-2 string Null could not be read started with next line"

"Personal log Entry

Null Header could not be read correctly string: ReadText 8758-1"

I got these messages almost instantly as I started the converter. I let the game sit for about thirty minutes; I could see no evidence that it was adding anything during that time. I have double checked everything, and I have combed the readme for insight into the matter. I afraid I must ask for you help once more. Help

As always much thanks, answer when you can.

Now, this was my fault... I used the correct language id in the filename, but did not change it within the file. Sent you the next email^^

Chessmon · Post by **Chessmon** » Sat, 3. Nov 07, 20:17

Success at last.

It worked Yepee!

Thank for everything.

One final question:

How do you get the imported stations to start producing again? They have resources but just sit there. ALL imported stations are like they are frozen. Their shields don’t even recharge. I know this because two of my ore mines Materialized over-lapping the Presidents Ends “north” and “south” Jump gates. Ships keep coming through the gates and blowing up by running into one of my ore mine. The Stations shield didn’t recharge after getting hit. I have about 40 stations in PE, and don't what to blow them all up an start all over. Not to mention my other stations scattered throughout the galaxy.
Overall I am happy with the import and your program you wrote. I got my Squadron of 15 fully fuctional Khaak fighters

back and all my money even if end up I having to self-destruct and rebuild my frozen imported stations. I just hope I don’t have to do that.

Thanks again for all your help.

*cry*

Sooner or later, I'll have to write a new converter... and I hope I'll get done with that before a new X-game is released, and not be lynched by upset users prior to that...
