Ezequeel,

Any time a savegame crashes when you are sure the install is okay usually means that that particular savegame is trying to find something that isn't there anymore.

remember that all ships, stations, scripts are run inside that savegame and the savegame remembers what should be there. Is there anything that you removed before or after you "unplugged" XTM??

I also don't know how you are "unplugging" XTM, if you don't put everything exactly back according to that save game it will crash.

If you get that save game working, in the new location, try saving it again "without" unplugging XTM and see if it will run again. If so then start using that new save and not the older one.

i've used the X plugin manager to disable and enable,

i just disable the xtm mod run game and game runs fine
and do my thing and just enable it after i am done.

Ooops,

There's possibly the problem. XTM7.5 is NOT installed with the plugin manager, UNLESS, you actually took all the manual files and build them into an .spk file. Or unless you are running profiles and you built the profile before you added XTM.

If you did that, then fine, otherwise, there is no way to "disable" 7.5 with the PM.

Ezequeel · Post by **Ezequeel** » Sun, 30. Aug 09, 06:33

yea i probably should have said it with more detail...

well its a patch, but i'll deal with that later.

but when i do disable it, not all of it is disabled 0.7a still is loaded when i take the 7.5 out.

probably possible the 7.5 patch is conflicting with the 0.7a what ever i downloaded first...

oh well get back to you on that one lol

The problem is that neither the 7.5 full or 7.5 patch is an .spk file.

Supposing you started with Core7A and then used 7.3 spk, you could then only remove 7.3 scripts using the PM.

If you executed the 7.5 full/patch .exe, it never went through the PM, it manually overwrote 7.3 scripts. And the full.exe is going to overwite the Core7A as well if you use it which is why you can't patch with 7.5 full.

The only thing the PM would be able to now "unplug" from the game would be the scripts that it used to recognize as 7.3 and some of those are now overwritten, so it can't even put 7.3 original back.

If you haven't built 7.5 files into an .spk you have probably corrupted all of the XTM scripts and now have a mishmash of new 7.5 and old 7.3, likely to keep giving more errors as it goes along.

If you ran X3R-XTM and saved at anytime since you mixed 7.3/7.5 you now have a savegame that has to find all those mismatched scripts from now on to run properly.

Ezequeel · Post by **Ezequeel** » Sun, 30. Aug 09, 18:09

Ok went through it little by little, 7.3 no longer there

so now my theory is - i have now is the salvage insurance is whats giving me the problem(assuming),

i save at a station no problem, i save out in space i get the error.

Ezequeel,

Unless you are sure you have a clean install, you are going to be chasing errors forever.

I would suggest you save your games and your profile folder and then clean install.

After having uninstalled, if you have some though-cleaner (liker Eraser or similar) it could be interesting to se if it works deleting everything related to X³ which remains after uninstalling it.

i have a read text error in teracorp hq and the goner temple.
Its a read text error 17 ...
Just above the advanced jump drive wares for sale.
It sells for about 118k. Curious as to what it is.

Any1 know what this is?
And how to fix it?

I have XTM 7.5 with a few scripts added on.

Buck_Rogers · Post by **Buck_Rogers** » Wed, 2. Sep 09, 10:43

Can you give us the full Read-Text error?

Edit: The only thing I know, which sells for 118k is the Rapid Response Drive. Which is part of LV's Player Response Fleet script.

nobby375 · Post by **nobby375** » Wed, 2. Sep 09, 12:28

that sounds like it then as ik installed that recently.
Will post the code later as im at work till 7pm.

If it is that is there a way tol fix it or will it work but i just cant read the text?

Buck_Rogers · Post by **Buck_Rogers** » Wed, 2. Sep 09, 12:42

It should be possible to fix it. Depends.

Oh. Do you use the PM?

nobby375 · Post by **nobby375** » Thu, 3. Sep 09, 17:20

Unfortunately I can't remember what start I used, but with X3 Reunion + 1.0 -> 2.5 patch + XTM 0.7.5 I had issues with the Terrans being hostile to me when I entered their home sector (EARTH) for the first time.

I have started again with a Custom Start - without plot game. the mod tells me that my race rep with the terrans is 500. Is this enough to enter the Earth sector without being an enemy of the Terrans? I would like to purchase some of their ships;)

The_Lost_Marauder · Post by **The_Lost_Marauder** » Thu, 10. Sep 09, 10:46

try other sectors before, like Venus or Mercury. ATF ships don't like visitors

Every one involved with the Xtended Mod should get paid for their amazing work on it, I thank you all as my game would be boring with out your mod.

[/quote]Just a heads up to people installing ships into XTM ... the XTM script plugin.XTM.Setup.RaceShipyards apparently resets the race shipyards, overwriting the settings done by the ship installer.

To get the shipyards to sell the new ships, the above file has to be edited.

Strangely this didn't happen with every ship I installed, a few (not all) fighters and M6 were for sale without edits.

(From Mailo)

I found the file i am going to try adding my ships to this file to see if it works (Most likely will).

I don't think you can get to the other sectors without going through Earth can you?

(not in X3R-XTM)

The_Lost_Marauder · Post by **The_Lost_Marauder** » Mon, 14. Sep 09, 12:35

in X³R-XTM yes, you have to first travel through Earth at least for first time. Best option is to jump to Earth with the Starburst, ID all gates and eventually escape. From there on you can use Jumpdrive to avoid ATF in Earth sector.
BTW, since you're already there with your super fast M5, visit also Mars, because gates to Venus and Mercury are located there.
