The Plugin Manager crashes every time I close it. I don't know if this has already been addressed, I got dizzy scrolling through the 44 pages in this topic. Once in a while it gives an error, but it only happens randomly and not very often but I'll post it next time i see it. My main concern is if it will affect the functionality of the plugins.

Yes its been mentioned a hundred million times, and no it does not affect the functionality.

If it said the spk was installed, then it is installed and what the program does after doesnt affect that.

hi im new and i hav steam will this work with steam version of x3tc?

apricotslice · Post by **apricotslice** » Fri, 4. Sep 09, 02:31

There is no difference to the steam version.

The only difference is that steam auto-installs to a different directory structure, but the game directories themselves remain identical.

See the link on my last post.

Is the plugin manager with your cheat scripts compatible with MARS (which i think doesnt have an SPK version)?

I notice there is a 'plugin manager' mod; should i load this or can i leave the 'MARS repair drone' mod active?

Thanks!

EDIT: Cycrow, i just read of your problem, what country are you located in? This sounds very much like a breach of due process! Have you spoken with a lawyer?

The plugin manager mod is only needed for custom ship which isn't fully comparable with tc

If ur using other mods like mars u can select them fine

I'm in the uk spent slot on lawyers and basically been told I have no rights and nothing I can do

Unfortunate, my sympathy. Im familiar with the Australian jurisdiction, but not particularly with that of the UK. The police should only be able to seize property where there are reasonable grounds to suspect it is either stolen or evidence in relation to an offence, and it is necessary to prevent their being stolen, lost or destroyed ( http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/you ... powers.htm ). Im sure your lawyers wouldve given you much better advice anyway though. Looks like youve been dragged into this mess along with your brother

It is probably the unfortunate result of ordinary people not paying quite enough attention to changes in police powers though. When you are on the wrong side of that it becomes extremely unjust

I hope your problem is resolved without too much further inconvenience.

Thanks for your help btw

Its been a while since I've played X3. Forgot if EMP is still needed or if the plugin manager takes care of it already.

Sorry to hear about the crash Cycrow. Hope the rebuilding is going ok. I've had that happen several times since Vista.

u do need EMP.

however, the new version of the Plugin Manager will have it included

So is this this most recent version of the plugin manager?

What about the new PM Lite you are working on.

Is this (2.2 beta 6) the last version from the old code before you had to start over? Or is this the NEW PM from rewritten code?

Basically should I be using this or the new PM Lite (until the other bigger one comes out)?

I only ask because I also found this:

and this:
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=256718
and this:
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=246080

or should I be using the one found on page 1 of this thread?

2.20 BETA 6 is the last version using the old code; that source code was lost so no updates of this Plugin Manager will be posted. Cycrow is now working on a replacement program which is still in beta.

Which one you choose depends on you: if you want to help with testing the new Plugin Manager use the new version and report feedback/bugs in the appropriate thread. If you want to use the "safe route" use 2.20 BETA 6.

FortressofRain · Post by **FortressofRain** » Thu, 17. Sep 09, 15:50

Right now I'm using the Lite Beta 3. Working perfectly so far, that is one I figured out how to use the tool. I'll report any feedback I have in that thread then. Thanks!

but are there any working spk files for ships so i can use crycrows ship installer as i suck at manual editing stuff (i could get confused tieing my own shoelace)

apricotslice · Post by **apricotslice** » Mon, 21. Sep 09, 02:37

There are no daft questions, only daft answers.

But there are questions that should have been researched further before being asked, and this is one of them. The answer is on every 2nd page of the plugin manager thread (almost).

The short answer is that the TC version of plugin manager does not handle spk files. There is a new program in beta at the moment, but it hasnt been formally released as yet. The old program was lost before it was finished, hence a new one being done from scratch.

Until the new program is released, we can only mod ships in the conventional way.

its always the same story in every mod site i find. Stargate simulator, Onlink, heck many off ModDB website. Is there anyway we can give these modders Dvd-r discs and alot of them so they can make backups?

apricotslice · Post by **apricotslice** » Mon, 21. Sep 09, 05:59

Read the last part of the plugin manager thread. Theres a statement there about what happened. Extra dvd's would not have made any difference.

Speaking personally tho, I never turn down free dvd's !

When I run the setup wizard it can't find any game files on Steam or Deepsilver (my game was installed from the DVD- it's X3 TC that includes the Aldrin Missions expansion; I bought it a couple months ago, and the DVD case says it's Egosoft/IGS). I should just have the normal version of the game that everyone buys in the stores, and even though I've been playing for about 7 weeks, this wizard thinks my game doesn't exist. I've even tried manually changing the directory to the folder where X3 is installed, and no dice. What have I done to deserve this?

The setup wizard? For what? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to install something related to the game, uninstall the game, or something else?

Are you trying to install Reunion over TC? (or vice versa) - if so, they are standalone games, and don't know about or need to know about each other.

You appear to have posted this in the wrong place, but until you provide a bit more info, I've no idea where to put it.

dbowen03 · Post by **dbowen03** » Sun, 27. Sep 09, 10:46

Sorry, I realize I should have been much more specific. I meant to post this as part of X3 TC-I was trying to figure out how to install the Plugin Manager (I believe it's Cycrow's) so that I use use it for the scripts and mods that are out there for X3TC. It turns out that if you just erase and completely reinstall X3, and then immediately install the plugin manager, it seems to work out fine (maybe the catch before was that I was trying to install the manager after already having updated the game to version 2.1). Anyway, I was able to get it working fine after trying this. Sorry for the bother, but hopefully this reaches someone who had the same problem as me! I appreciate you replying so promptly
