X-UNIVERSE3 - Modular Mod Now With 15 Addons (Latest: XU3 Update)

I'd be willing to do some work on this mod, especially if I can learn from it. My expertise comes in the Types folder. I don't understand any of the modeling or graphics aspects of the game, but only due to not being able to find a teacher or up-to-date resource.

Thanks, i'm setting up somewhere to develop the mod so I will get back to you.

Just put this simple mod together:

X2 Style Bullet Mod {DOWNLOAD}

It changes the bullets IRE, PAC, HEPT, PPC to those of the x2 game. I didn't change any stats so it doesn't unbalance the game.

OK trying out this mod. ! Have main mod installed, graphics addon, planet enhancement and music.
Problem when trying to install HUD. It says "missing package for HUD addon. requires: X-universe (2.0 beta) "
Also would MARS work with your mod?

MARS is a script, so if you only install the scripts and t folder, it's compatible with all mods. If you install the .cat/.dat or types folder that come with it, it may conflict. The only thing you lose if you don't install those is the ability to use Goblins as repair drones.

oh , is it normal that m6 m2 m1 (all big ships ) have the explosion way after the bodey has gone , and there no FX when you blow up an asteroid but apart from that you gave back the magic of x2 into the x3 world

The HUD mod isn't compatible with the latest main mod yet aswell as the x2 and smaller universe mod. I think MARS Should work.

I don't think I have changed any of the explosions, so it is near enough normal.

Speaking of HUD, I'm wondering why the astronaut HUD is a M3 instead of a space helmet and the space suit bumps into things several meters away. I had to fly way around my M4 just to get to the other side.

Yeah I noticed that that both the space suit and turret use the m3 cockpit. I will sort that in an update.

I don't know what causes that.

It's like the game handles it as if you really are in a M3, there seemed to be an invisible ship structure that bumped into objects.

Thanks, that fixed the M3 cockpit appearing, however the blocking area still exists. It seems to extend approximately 12 meters around the astronaut.

I don't know what causes that, I don't see it being any part of the mod. I will see if there is anything I missed.

EDIT: I have also made the XBTF style map again, in the quick testing I didn't notice anything wrong but it needs much more testing.

You can download here.

To play it you need to start the custom game.

Nice UI. I like the colors and the new mouse pointer.
And I finally like the sidebar.

Ooo, that would make a great standalone mod.

Just looking at that ship rebalance mod located Here
How do you think it would work along with this one?

Given that both overhaul crucial portions of the game's filesystem, mixing them would likely be a bad idea. I don't think anything would break, per se, but a lot of things would likely become very strange.
