Sounds interesting, how does one get more info about it?

If you've typed your mailing address into your forum profile and checked the option to be part of devnet, then you are already level 3. You can enter from the egosoft home page, in the comunity section below the links to these forums there a link to the developers section. Click on that to get in

Best to ask Egosoft...but I reckon it's a case of "We'll show you ours if you show us yours" situation, all fair and no spam ever....I'm level 3 and can confirm I've never recieved spam.

did you read the text? they agree to send you a beta copy of x-tension to do quest dev work with. it's a shipping address for that offer.

(not sure if that's still valid)

You should be able to click yes...then you can fill out the postal information if you want to continue on to higher levels.

Well, I'd like to know more about what Im signing up for before I give my info. What kind of stuff do you guys get access to?

Argonaught. · Post by **Argonaught.** » Thu, 19. Feb 04, 18:17

You get access to devnet stuff.....ie: the Programming Lang of X2.
The stuff you need to enable you to assist in the further dev of X.
Access to the Devforum....ect...ect.

If you have probs with giving your info then best not to sign up and forget you ever read about it.

hehe, so you actually get access to the source code? Or do you only get to view pieces of it. Tough to imagine they would just send out the full source that I could compile, would be pretty cool though.... Would have to be some sort of NDA invloved.

The KC code is the source for the lower level stuff. I don't know what you get yet, because I haven't seen it.

Apparently, the model builder for the ships is also available - I've seen someone make new station models, and those are on his website.

interesting, is this only for guys who are competant already at dev-work for games, or can anyone give it a go?

oolon · Post by **oolon** » Fri, 20. Feb 04, 04:18

Well i am at level 3 and I thought the information in X-devnet was very limited, outdated (talks about xt alot) and to be frank very poor. I guess if you sign the NDA and get level 5 there may be something worthwhile, however your then be under NDA so would need to be very careful about doing mods and what you say.
