X Plugin Manager V2.12 : Updated 23/01/2010 *LINUX VERSION AVAILABLE*

[dougeye]

you can mod a steam version because ive done it before with the same plugin manager and had no problems. the difference this time is the plugin manager fails to find the x3tc.exe.

does the manager have problems if the folder root is deep. to find x3tc.exe on my pc you probly have to open 8 or 9 sum folders due to steam. again 2 be clear i have tried manualy setting the folder which contains x3tc.exe but it still cant find it even though if i go through windows explorer its there

thank you for your reply though, i have x3 on disk but tc is very hard to find in england right now. they only released it in the larger stores, im down in the sticks eating pasties and drinking cider lol

[The Boz]

So, umm... how do I install this with the Steam Terran Conflict then? Or is the X3TC.exe the culprit, and the program expects an X2/X3.exe?

[Cycrow]

this is the old version of the plugin manager, and doesn't work with TC.

you need to get the plugin manager lite from the TC forums, that will work with both TC and steam, as well as continue to work for reunion

[The Boz]

Yeah, figured it out, I'm a moron.

Good evening

I have a question concerning load prioritization of scripts. When using several scripts I have seen recommendation to load one after the other. One example is Improved Kha'ak and PilotAi. Both uses signal_killed. My understanding of this subject for X3 is very limited, and maybe I am at the wrong place asking question.

Anyway, I wonder if I can use the plugin manager to choose the load order of the scripts?

[Cycrow]

there is no load order as such. The order you install scripts doesn't make a difference.

if 2 scripts both use the same signal, then they wont work together properly, unless both of them have been designed to work together.

the only time when install order matters, is when you have multiple scripts sharing the same scripts or libraries. If they contain different versions, then its best installing the lowest version first followed by the highest to make sure ur using the most current version of all files.

this only applies when manually installing scripts, as the plugin manager will do this automatically regardless of the order you install them in

[xxx73]

ok, thanks Cycrow. I probably misunderstood the hole subject.

Dear Cycrow:

I need your help.


Problem 1

Ever since I downloaded and installed the Cleaner Hud and the X3 Bonus pack, the game has not allowed me to use your ship installer to put in ships.

I have removed X3 and the X3 managers and reinstalled them 6 times. I went to the registry and removed the stuff from there.

Now I can load up the scripts I was running, but I cannot load any ships. I get one of two errors:

C++ Runtime Error or X3 has Stopped Working

I'm used to the second error on my game because of the MM vs Kris ship issue. But now as of 3 nights ago I cannot load ANY ship including ships I know were working 2 weeks ago after I started having problems. Galactica has never failed me prior to Monday night.

This has been going on for 3 weeks and I am suffering withdrawl. Help

also directly copied in I have

Replace Tractor

MTS Product Finder

And the now removed other patches were
X3 3.1.07 Bonus Pack
Cleaner Hud
BEIR Scanner script

Is there a limit to how many scripts the game will handle I noticed it was more likely not to work or install ships as the number of scripts and ships got bigger.




Second problem

I futzed with Kris's Workbee and loaded it. For 3 days it worked fine. Then one day while docked at a trade station after I tried raising the hull strength of the ship with the ship creator the ship dropped all hull and would not launch. I tried to find what the shipid was but because it was inside the station I cannot use the script. After playing with the manager a few times, the ship lost shield and speed too and is now a dead hulk. Is there a way to remove an individual ship from a save file? PS it now says the ship is a TL even though I never played with that setting.

This problem happened a month ago.



Last issue and I think I solved this:

Because of installing and unistalling ships, I had like 200 empty spaces in the mod file. I the solution to remove all scripts and ships, delete the mod file, the shipinstall directories, and the plugmanager.dat and start over?

[MatterStorm1]

I have the steam download of x3tc and it won't find the correct directory
I try to manually point it toward the steam folder but it says that it is "unable to locate x3.exe/x2.exe"
The executable for my game is called "X3TC.exe"


Edit: I just downloaded the lite version at this thread and that worked. Not as fancy, but it worked and I downloaded my first package/script/plugin/WhateverItIs
You might want to work on this problem but I don't need it now

Edit2: And by the way, I use vista, if that helps diagnosing the problem.

[bunk]

I'm having trouble with the steam steamapps location using Win7. there are two program files, 1 is (x386). Install manager will not recognize the X3TC app there

[adams0061]

I use the Plugin manager before and I did not have any problems with X3 terran conflict. Now that I bought the DVD TC 2.0 with the Adrin conflict I run the plugin manager V2.10 it is not finding the exe file or the directory even when I point it to it I get a error no X3 or X2 exe not found?

[achekyule]

Sorry to be a bother. i've installed the plugin manager, but when i click Exit. Run Game, Run Game or even Exit, the program starts to create mod files and preparing game directory it just freezes and the words (Not Responding) shows up. I've left it in hopes that it would resolve itself but it never did. I know this is an X3:R forum but im hoping someone could possible lend me a hand.

[X2-Illuminatus]

X3TC plugin manager gets stuck at "Preparing game directory"

If you're using the X3:TC Plugin Manager you should better ask in its current thread in the X3:TC Scripts and Modding Forum.

[m0nkeysensei]

app crashes when I try and make it search for x installations since it cant see my current installation.

[LaPhyzz]

[Exzelsior]

I have the steam download of x3tc and it won't find the correct directory
I try to manually point it toward the steam folder but it says that it is "unable to locate x3.exe/x2.exe"
The executable for my game is called "X3TC.exe"

I had the same problem, I updated the exe file in X Plugin Manager\Data with this line:
x3tc.exe
then it worked...

[rato92]

I have the same problem. and the "exe" file update didn't work for me =/

[rato92]

well, it seems to be working. i changed the name of my exe file in the game folder from X3TC.exe to X3.exe
i just hope this doens't affect anything at all

[NFSRacer]

Does this work with the STEAM version of X3? I'm trying to run the game with the STEAM version that I just bought, but the cheat extender doesn't seem to be working.

[rato92]

actually, for Terran Conflict we need this instead
