You should wait for a 2.1 compatible version.

Im using CMOD with my 2.1 with no problems at all.

Actuly, your not using it with no problems at all your just not noticing them nor relise them...

CMOD contains TFiles for almost all of them, including Ships...
witch means the changes that were made in 2.1 are either overriding CMOD or CMOD is overriding 2.1

Ive had personal experience with overriding mods before, and im telling you the results are never pritty, 50% of the time you will end up with a corrupt save game, this may or may not happen with CMOD as it is fairly save game compatable but i wouldnt risk it...

Any help?

Let's see

CMOD without the addional scripts just touch:

*Effects
*Tshields
*TSounds
*TMissiles
*TLasers
*TBullets

and 2.1 changes that may conflict with this are:
*TMissiles and... just that...

Yeap, looks very compatible to me.

Anyone know how long it will be before I can redownload this script? Did a dummy move and lost most of my downloaded scripts & now I cannot find a working download link for CMOD3. Oh the humanity! All I hear are splash splash splash in my battles!

i can only "redistrubute unofficially" what I downloaded...

Cmod version 1.03

mr.WHO · Post by **mr.WHO** » Sat, 13. Jun 09, 12:46

My Cmod is working fine in 2.1.

But with instalation of 2.1 I notices 2 things:

Ion Cannons hit lag has been reduced greately

PBE hit lag increased greately

Doktor Teufel · Post by **Doktor Teufel** » Sat, 13. Jun 09, 12:53

EDIT: Problem solved.

Anyone know how to get this working with Performance Callback?

If you know how to use X3 Editor and X Mod Manager PBE's are easy to change, I was fed up with them eating all the fps so I changed them to a Commonwealth EMPC version, not as damaging and effective as the original EMPC but can punch hard and those Xenon fighters are not fps eaters any more.

Post by **BlackRain** » Sun, 14. Jun 09, 05:21

ezra how did you do that exactly? I know how to use the x3 editor and mod manager but don't know what to change.

@Doktor: they both change different things (if you have only Cmod3 and not all the related stuff)... just install them and you'r ready

@Black: open the Tlaser or Tbullet and edit the rate of fire, the too high ROF of PBE is the main cause of Lag... decrease ROF, but increase damage to mantain it to the same DPS.

Well, the thing about Performance Callback is that you're supposed to put the .cat and .dat files in the Mods folder, then select it in the Mods list when starting the game. I'm not sure how to manage it using the Plugin Manager when there's no .spk.

Now interestingly enough, I did manage to get both Performance Callback and CMOD3 working together, but I'll be damned if I know exactly what I did. All I know is that they're both clearly working (CMOD3 shows up on the start menu, as do the old starts from X3 from Performance Callback).

So I've basically solved my problem, except I'm not sure what I did to replicate it next time.

In any case, my apologies for dragging this thread a bit off-topic.

ever read about fake patches?

look at the .cat and .dat in your installation folder, then rename the mod you have chosen as the highest number

example: your last .cat and .dat are the 08.cat and 08.dat , so the new mod will be 09.cat and 09.dat.

easy and simple... just write somewhere that the 09 is "your new mod" so you kow what to remove when you don't want it anymore.

I suggest to try to figure out what you did... to avoid future problems.

Is there any news on an update for Cmod to work with new patch.

Thanks

I'd feel better if the website ever came back online. If it was hacked, it shouldn't take but a few days tor restore from backup. It's been down for more than a week I think...

cboath · Post by **cboath** » Tue, 16. Jun 09, 12:40

The host was hacked, not the site specifically but they did have a total data loss.

From what i just read today its back up but may not be fully propagated across the net and may take another day or 2 for everyone to be able to access it. It works fine for me.

No posts yet after this one so i thought i would just edit this one.

Edit again. Found the descriptions of the optional scripts here http://www.thexuniverse.com/forum/showt ... adid=13553

Think i may just use the Kha'ak invasion and try to find any Xenon Invasion scripts there might be for X3:TC.

I will start following my own advice to others, completely read the first few posts AT LEAST and stop being so annoying.

Help yourself so others do not have to spoon feed you.
