Oh boy! Can't wait to see how it goes.

Congrats on getting this far Paul (...and the pony guy.) Yeah you, ponies!

cough mizuchi

Paul, if you say don't put a separate EMP, how should we deal with the plugin manager again? (i.e. delete the Twaret that it generates?)

You're welcome, I thought I'd give you enough info to know for sure if you needed to post a blocker like XTC's or not

Blame KloHunter for that. Ponies are the new lolcats, it seems. :3

(And I for one welcome our new meme overlords.)

Nope - just run the plugin manager. It should integrate the XRM changes into the TWareT is generates.

NOTICE: LEECHING OCCURS.

I notice no trails packs, is this something you intend to add in the future, or a design decision?

paulwheeler · Post by **paulwheeler** » Fri, 15. Jul 11, 17:06

Trail are fully integrated. You have no choice in the matter I'm afraid!

Managing all those addons in the SRM became such a pain. So for the XRM I have decided to not bother and just merge them in.

creidiki · Post by **creidiki** » Fri, 15. Jul 11, 17:09

Ah, that would have been option 3, but I saw nothing about that in the OP ...

And to restate a question from the first page, how much of the SSRP did you integrate? Jumpdrive and Docking Computer ware-size changes can affect some scripts.

Hmm what if you do an installer a la XTC style? Would that be too much work? It seems they've got a cool way to make everyone happy...

But thanks, I'm gonna start downloading this.

All of the SSRP has been merged.

I will provide a addon to convert the docking computer back to S for CODEA compatibility, but that will have to wait till Monday (need time off from modding and time for playing!).

Another question: What is the 'KOG mod' you mention in the compatibility notes?

That is Killerog's mod. It adds several ships and missions. It should be compatible with the XRM as the SRM compatibility was ported across.

creidiki · Post by **creidiki** » Fri, 15. Jul 11, 17:31

I feel old, when stopped coming here last year we were still calling it "Killerog's mod" or "Killerog's ships", we didn't have this fancy nacronym thang for it ...

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Fri, 15. Jul 11, 17:34

I changed it to KOG after I released a massive update for it.

creidiki · Post by **creidiki** » Fri, 15. Jul 11, 17:45

Duly noted, my good man

BTW guys, there's something I've been meaning to change in my game:

As far as I'm concerned, the Buster and Discoverer models are obviously switched around when it comes to class. Either the cockpit on the Buster holds 3 people in full comfort, or, if they are both single-seater ships, the "Buster" is the M5 its the smaller ship.

What do I need to switch them around? I guess I'll need Max to add guns to the disco scenes and remove them from the Buster scenes, and switch them around?

paulwheeler · Post by **paulwheeler** » Fri, 15. Jul 11, 17:55

Easiest is to resize the Buster or Discoverer. I'll look into it.

If it's located at 17,8 between Gaian Star and Midnight Star (which is the impression I got from the XTC post - thanks for adding that, it was informative!) then it should be 100% compatible.

The "A New Home" plot(s) are also fine with XRM. I didn't use any of the ANH names for the new sectors in the expanded universe map, and I took care to avoid changing things to that part of the universe too much.

It's actually located directly above the Goner's sector Elysium Of Light.

creidiki · Post by **creidiki** » Fri, 15. Jul 11, 18:09

I'm not sure a simple resize would work.

The Buster model is already smaller, and even in the scale its at now it looks out of scale compared to the Disco. The cockpit is far too large.

When you add the Nova to the equation, the Buster model is too large, and the Disco too small.

This suggests to me that they were initially intended for the respective roles, and switched afterwards.

All the races apart from the Teladi are confused as far as scaling of fighters goes, but that pair is the only one that's so glaring it bothers me.

First impressions are very good so far. Done a good job on this.
