[Script] Apocalypse 1.3 25/2/10

[rpetiger]

This keeps crashing me, every time I try to play the game.

[LV]

I'd suggest not using it then, i'm not in a bug hunting mood for this mod at the moment

[rpetiger]

Not sure if it is a real bug. All I know is after trying to load the game with this mod on, the game stops responding for minutes at a time. Is this normal?

[LV]

then it is not crashing, it's freezing, how about being more descriptive please

does it work/stop start, not work at all, pause every x minutes.

the intitial setup is very heavy on the cpu, are you running other scripts that could be killing the cpu? (you've already sent peeps on one wild goose chase with this my force powers tell me with your rep loss thread) the forum is much more forgiving than I am

Think carefully

[rpetiger]

It is just frozen. I just made a new run with only this script enabled. All I get to is the start ship, then it simply freezes, and my CPU doesnt seem to be working very hard.

Still frozen, even after hours of nothing

[expnobody]

i installed it, went ingame, start a new game, nothing happened..

(I have CMOD4 and SRM installed)

[LV]

Did you turn it on?

[expnobody]

uh..guess not...thanks mate..

i think it would help alot for others if you put this on the download page

[expnobody]

Why can't i storm certain Station:
In Queen's Harbour
Bofu Chemical Lab M Gamma
and Stott Mixery M Alpha

i used the storm base command, but it says command rejected, then i got a message from unknown, the only thing written in it is "test"

the storm base command worked for all other bases in that sector, all enemy units except space suits are cleared.

PS: destroying those 2 bases won't help either, the sector is still belong to the enemy.[/i]

[LV]

that appears to trigger something i never finished, i've taken a look through the code for a message flag with "test" but can't find anything at the moment. I'll take another look next time i'm in X

[Neeros]

Will this also cause khaak and xenon stations to spawn in their respectively controlled sectors? It would add a whole new level of difficulty in combination with the improved races mod for khaak and xenon race ships in the sectors as well trying to take everything back from you again!!!!

edit:

Also, I already have all the plots completed so what would happen to the hub and home sectors? We would need to cap them back?

[LV]

i THINK (it's a while since i wrote it) that it hits every sector bar 1 sector for each race and the start sector so it may well do but i'm not 100% sure

Hi LV. I've used a number of your scripts with great success but I'm having triuble downloading Apocalypse. The egosoft links take me to a site where I can download the spk version (got pluginmanagerlite installed) and there appears to be two links next to each other.
Click on first and can't open rar file.
Click on second and I get a window opened with a picture showing "SPK".

Please explain in simple words for a non-scripter how to download and install.

Grateful for your help.

[LV]

for some reason i only released a spk version which is installable by using the plugin manager found stickied at the top of this forum

[150147]

Thanks for your reply.

I have Cycrow's Plug In Manager Lite installed (recently) so I think it is version 2.12 (this is the latest version availble on his web site.

I also have your Imperial Libraries script installed (V2.6).

http://www.arcl07.dsl.pipex.com/x3tc/pl ... .3.spk.rar http://www.arcl07.dsl.pipex.com/x3tc/plugins/spk.png SPK version

is the link I am using to try to download The Apocalypse.

Clicking on the second part of the link http://www.arcl07.dsl.pipex.com/x3tc/plugins/spk.png SPK version then selecting "open" opens the Plug in Manager Lite and then selecting install gives me the above error message.

I have also tried clicking on the first part of the link http://www.arcl07.dsl.pipex.com/x3tc/pl ... .3.spk.rar
and saved it to my X3Terran Conflict directory then Unzipped using WinZip. Started Saved Game and can not find any options to switch on Apocalypse. Perhaps I need to start a new game. Will try this now.

Am I missing anything?

Would like it to "work" with Plug In Manager if possible.

Edit: Nope new game makes no difference. No ALP option to turn it on.

Help please.

[LV]

follow the link in my sig to all scripts by LV

Thanks LV.

These look really really helpful.
I need to find some time after work to understand and use these.

OK...............All seems to be working --- Great Fun!

Trying to retake Faded Dreams. Darn Weapons platform keeps respawning!
Now left with OWP and a few Kha'ak Clusters.
Sent my Scarab with 10 5* Marines to within 3 km of Military Outpost and selected Storm Base from my own command menu. Nothing happens! Scarab remains stationary and Marines stay on board. Took MO shields down to 0%. Tried again - Nothing happens.
Tried transporting to Scarab to launch from there. No "Storm Base" command in menu. Tried Launch Marines command but MO not avaialble for selection.
How do I storm the base? and also, where should the "Take Sector" command be? Its not in my combat menu. So I'm stuck. Help Please.

Edit....... Well............. now that you have read this far............after further experimentation............sorted! I must have the marines in the player ship and everything happens after STORM BASE command issued!
Yahey!!! Just taken my first sector. Exhilarating! Great!

Hold on! Why was the STORM BASE command not available in my Scabbard? Edit: Answer - it just isn't! But it is available on M6 and M7's so no problem.

I don't know why I never noticed this script earlier, but when I read the title of this thread I instantly thought: "Whoops Apocalypse".

Looks like definitly a script from the Dark Side of the Forum

[LV]

dunno 150

either my code is playership only or your doing something wrong
