Confused : How is Cycrow creating spk's not compatible with the old program if the packager isnt converted yet ?

i use packager scripts ran through the new spktool.exe
these are simply text files that list all the options/files and will automatically create the spk files.

u can use the new spk explorer from the beta download to add and remove files as well

i was hoping the beta would have been finished and released by now, but unfortuatlly i've been abit busy, and right now in the middle of upgrading and reinstalling my pc, so not had chance to finish it

Hello I'm new to this Script editing and Modding for X3: Terran Conflict and want to know what i need to do to get all the scripts Cycrow has made. I've tried downloading the Plugin Manager but it didn't work I don't know why? I still need a lot of help and intel on how to use the thing like a tutorial or video, if anybody can help it would mean a lot thank you!

I got trouble installing the vcredist from the stable version.

Installed the Beta version and then it worked fine.

I did restart the computer betwixt tries though. Maybe it was a fluke, if it is the same vcredist.exe?

Using Vista64, a pretty new clean install too; updated.

Cheers!

it is exactly the same file, its just the one direct from visual studio 2005

not sure y it would work the first time, but not the other.

does the program itself work, both the beta and stable ?

or are you getting the side by side error still

The Beta is working fine.
How do I review the readme's from the spk? I didn't find it.

Tested the Viewer too - everything working so far.

It must have been a fluke, tried installing the vcredist a couple of times. So I guess something just stopped it from writing all the files where it should.

Started installing scripts, couldn't stop myself

Luckily I just had to change one line in Tware for the EMP-X to be compatible with 2.6 But I haven't fixed it for Draffutt's fixes yet.

Cheers!

Hi im a returning player after about 3 years of not playing. Im playing reunion and downloaded this plugin manager. I downloaded a old script i was using before, the Anarkis carrier commands and when i go to install the package in the manager it tells me it is a old type and cant be installed.. Same goes for a script that makes asteroids low res, to help with orebelt and seizewell, i just get invalid errors installing that one as well. Any help is appreciated. I just want to run a few scripts while i play the plot then upload x tended for after the plot..

edit... just tried the sector take over script, the one with the .spk and it also gave me the error msg of "this is a old file and is no longer valid" i have been getting that error with every script i have installed. Except the low res asteroids, which gave me invalid file.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

You have 2 options. Either use the old pluginmanager V2.12

-or-

open your spk(s) that you are trying to install with script packager and save. after that "lite" will be able to install as they where saved in the new format.

I've read all 16 pages and found problems similar to mine. I tried all the fixes to their problems but none of them seem to work for me.

First off, I'm running win 7 64 bit (updated).
X3tc 2.5 clean install.
PM 1.10 full install.

I open PM switch to modified.
File > Install > any spk
Close PM

Run x3tc activate the script editor and none of the spk's work.
Am I missing something?
Is there a compatibility issue with AMS custom start?

I've also noticed the PM folder in Program Files (x86) > EGOSOFT > X3 Terran Conflict has sub folders Disabled > Scripts. In the Scripts folder it looks like all the PM scripts are in it. Is this normal?

Hello, I have a question regarding updating the Plugin mannager:

Right now I have old Plugin mannager v2.20 (Beta6) with some scripts installed, one mod and some fake patch mods.

Can I easily update to this new plugin mannage lite? I mean no script reinstalling ect.?

From previous post, just install over the old one will work fine.

Yes. I've also re-installed both x3tc and PM many times trying different things, but nothing seems to work.

I found the problem!!!

::ATTENTION Windows 7 users::
PM needs to be run as administrator!
Right click the PM exe then click run as administrator...I feel E-tarded.
Probably wouldn't hurt to run x3tc as admin too. Any thoughts on that?
I also noticed the aforementioned Disabled folder is gone.
