TUTORIALS and RESOURCES + Activating the Script Editor/Galaxy Editor

Cycrow,

Thanks, kinda expected as much. I have both the default.xpf and my current profile in Excel side by side but it is still pretty much a haystack.

Cheers

[How to Guide] Costume textures with Gmax

[xerses0]

hi, i was wondering if it would be possible to make the game use a different language file? i bought this on holiday in germany, but when i started modding, i realised the game came with other language files. so, would it be possible to make the game run off the english file ( i think its 420001?)

thanks

[xerses0]

i wasnt sure whether or not to post that in the tech support, but decided that maybe someone here would know something about it, since i only worked out that i could change it when learning to mod lol

[Stevio]

in the X3 directory (i.e D:\Games\X3 Reunion)
open the file called lang.dat with a text editor.
and change the files content to read 44

7 = Russian
33 = french
39 = Italian
44 = English
49 = German

[xerses0]

ty lol, i guess i should have worked that out lol

Follow the instructions in the first post in this thread again, unless your keyboard has different key assignments (foreign keyboard sometimes do this) it will work if done correctly

I don't know if it is just me, but apparently using the x3 editor/text resource editor to edit xml files in the t folder almost always causes the game to crash

[Cycrow]

might be a problem with how it writes the text file, but most ppl usually just use a text editor for it

It's how the file is saved. You need an editor which won't insert or remove special characters on save. Specifically, each line in the scripts ends with a <ctrl-M> (which is a carriage return? line feed? Always mix it up...) This gets removed if you save using the default windows editors.

Maybe the windows editors have some option you can turn on/off, but I use vim for windows, since I'm a unix head, and prefer vi anyway. If you're unfamiliar with vi, or prefer to use a gui, you probably wouldn't want to use vim - it's powerful, but takes some learning to use. I don't know about other editors, I'm afraid.

Hi Orakio,

For editing t files, I always use Notepad. It saves the files correctly and causes no problems (well, not so far in the 4 or 5 years I have been doing this) - the only problems have been caused by me forgetting a closing tag.

Notepad works, does it? Well I'll be... I thought I'd tried it at one point and it had screwed up... Still, I'll stick with my vim, thank you.

The Script Editor

If you are certain that you want to use this unsupported feature, you may activate the script editor the following way in your game:

• enter the menu to change your pilot's name
  type Thereshallbewings (note the capital T) and press enter
  the menu will close, your player name will NOT have been changed, and a confirmation beep will sound on correct activation
  you will now find the "Script Editor" menu item in the command console

-----
Troubleshooting if you can't open the SE
1. Have you changed your pilotname, not your ship name
2. Make sure you are not docked
3. have you used a capital T
-----

Hope that helped.
