[MOD] [TC/AP] X3 Rebalance Mod (XRM) - Total conversion - v1.30d (02.12.13)

[paulwheeler]

I'm hoping to be able to put a check in the plot trigger code which will enable me to get the plot working in a new start.

BTW - this plot definitely wont work in the advanced universe pack i think as

Spoiler

Show

It requires the player owns the hub and that plot is unplayable in the advanced universe

[dreikano]

Why is the sectors all over the place(shouldn't they be next to one another?)? Is that a bug? Why do i go though a gate and then look on sector map and I am miles away on the map. Could you fix it so the sector map looks like the one map that was made for XRM?

[paulwheeler]

If that is what you are seeing then something is wrong with your installation.

I suggest you reinstall and look at what other mods you have installed.

I think your use of the angry emoticon is slightly over the top...

*hands dreikano a cookie*

And make sure you're not using any other mod that modifies the universe map... and deep breaths, friend.

Hey Paul, sorry if this has already been answered and dont feel like you have to answer but im just starting up X and ive been playing all day on vanilla but ive always wanted to try XRM and now 3.0 is coming i think its that sort of time!

Im just wondering if you have a rough ETA on 3.0 release because i dont want to start a save up now then you release 3.0 tommorow! as i say im not poking or anything and feel free to tell me where to stick it as i know such a big update isnt a small task to re-program for you kudos to you for keeping it up for so long

Another open question to anyone, is there any sort of Wiki or Place i can find out what all the extras are in XRM as its pretty overwhelming or is it just "play and find out" Thanks guys! hope to be playing XRM soon!

EDIT: Im starting on Terran Conflict as i want to complete both TC and AP story lines so will this even affect me yet? 3.0 that is or can i just get on with it?

I'm in strong agreement with the previous few posts about mandatory restart. A restart would be worth allowing the best content from AP and XRM to work together with as little compromise as necessary.

If the new plots can't be accessed without a game restart that's something I can understand. That I can not understand (don't think I'm rude, I really mean that I don't understand) it's people asking for that game restart to be mandatory while Paul already stated that he will probably be able to add some kind of check to satisfy everyone.

If you're playing TC then AP3.0 wont affect you. There are a few tweaks for TC coming in xrm 1.29, but nothing major.

I'm hoping to have 1.29 ready on Monday. Worse case would be Tuesday I think.

Allow me to quell your misunderstanding a bit. Some people (like myself) prefer a total restart to just a "check" (no offense Paul). Checks have several flaws in them, as they fix one thing but down the line another problem may arise that the check created. Whereas the restart causes the scripts in the game to weave and fix themselves, the check is still there somewhere but it is miniaturized. I know this much because I am working on a mod of my own however I am only 4% complete with it, just to put that out there.

...it's people asking for that game restart to be mandatory while Paul already stated that he will probably be able to add some kind of check to satisfy everyone.

Any sane person would prefer the plot check to allow people that don't want to start again the option of continuing with their old game (provided that their new game isn't broken ).

We aren't a bunch of assholes.

There's just a large number of people that don't really care about having to start a new game if its necessary -- that's all.

Relax.

'sides, it'd only take about a real day (maybe two) to rake in at least a half billion credits.

No biggie.

What is the difference in the variation options for the reward for a New Home? Are they the same as vanilla but without the name change? If so which variation is which system? I can't find the info anywhere.

Hi everyone!

I'm quite new at X3, having played Reunion only a little bit. I'm currently downloading Albion Prelude from the App Store, and I found out that AP is a standalone on Mac but an extension on PC: is it still possible to use XRB on the Mac version? Thanks in advance!

Ps: yes, I know I will have to wait for XRB to be made compatible with AP3.

Hi, I had to do a clean install of AP and XRM and having started a new game I am noticing Federal Argon Shipyards in a lot of sectors selling only Omega missiles and nothing else ? I do not recall seeing these before and also a Federal Argon Shipyard in a Split sector selling the usual Split factory's and ships... Is this correct or has something got corrupted ?
Thanks.

Yes they are the same as vanilla without the different names. They are in the same order as vanilla.

You have a mod conflict. Most likely something that alters tfactories. What else do you have installed?

I've not tested myself, but apparently the xrm works fine with the Mac version.

Installing mods on a Mac requires a bit of effort extra effort, but it is not too bad if you are comfortable with how Macs work. You will need Crossover and you will need to know how to find the folders inside the app with the Finder.

Instructions and support are on the Ultimate Guide to X3 Mods for Mac (icEPiraka) thread.

Cheat Pack AP 1.62
Marine Repairs 2.03
NPC Bailing 1.7.8
Comunity Plugin Config
Hotkey Manager
JSON parser libary
Ware Manager
ADS
Galaxy Explorer 1.9.89

Mobile Mining Mrk2 1.05-2012-07-28
Phanon Corp 1.21a

(Followed instructions to the letter with installing the two below)
MARS
Bounce 1.7

The list is no different to what I had installed prior to this clean install and I am not using any existing save games either...

Just makes me wonder if one of the files got corrupted in the transfer over to the new HDD's since it was done using Linux rather than Windows.
