Of course.. the only sector my explorers didn't go to cause it was full of xenon. Cheers!

How can I grab the Steam No-Exe patch when it requires registering a cd key in your profile, but Steam doesn't display or use cd keys for X3?

I'm getting a crash when scrolling down the list of game starts. The entry right below "Boring Boron" consistently crashes my game. I also have the portraits for the Argon Anarchist and ATF Veteran starts displaying as random bars of vertical color (screenshot below).

Clean fresh install through Steam. And here's the part you tell me you can't support: Linux version of AP. Can anyone point to a way for me to try to get at least an error message after the crash or something? Launching through the terminal doesn't leave any message after the crash, which is quite unhelpful.

The game starts I CAN get to seem to work just fine, so I'm otherwise golden as far as I can tell. I just want my PP Hyperion!

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Just figured out I could Page Down to get through the menu. "Cunning Charlatan", "Formidable Freebooter", "Seriptitious Smuggler", "Xenon Rogue", "Advanced Start" all crash as well once moved to. I can't test a few due to not being able to maneuver around the land mines, but the trend does seem to be the new starts. Hmm...

That is very strange - I've never had a report like this before. All I can suggest is that you double check your installation.

Can you post a screenshot of your installation folder? That way I might be able to spot what is causing this.

Scoob wrote:Hey Paul,

Thanks for the update!

Quick question to anyone, I admit I've likely confused myself...

I know the "war" is active, but do I still get the "come join the war" mission with the Anonymous Argon start? I was testing AP 3.0 without mods slecting that start and, after getting to a certain Argon rank, I was asked to head to M148. With XRM I had an initial log entry about M148, made my way there - I'm an Argon Faderation Guardian now - and nothing has popped up.

I'd never actually done started this plot in AP previously, so it was a first for me when testing vanilla AP 3.0.

Edit: oh, I also noticed that the war sectors don't flash red like they do in vanilla...likely that's telling me something...

Cheers,

Scoob.

The "come join the war" mission is part of the Argon AP plot, which is disabled in the XRM.

When AP was released, the general consensus was that the main war plot was poor and the war itself was too static. Thats why I took the decision to disable the vanilla war plot and create an alternative.

Steam does give you a key to register in the forum for X3TC, which you inevitable have, if you play X3AP.

Ok Paul, cheers for confirming. Just wanted to nab myself the free M6 like I had in vanilla...being lazy

I'm trying to have a game without NPC bailing installed, as it often turned into a game of hunt the ship, but I'd still like the odd freebie lol.

Hello
Today after releasing IEX's XRMi, I've started new game and confirm changes I have founded on universe map:

Viliae wrote: Vanilla (race) XRM (race)
Lost Order (pirate) Transaction Denied (unknown)
Mercenaries' Rift (pirate) Hell Forge (pirate)
Distant Clouds (Boron) Unknown Sector 18-16 (unknown)
Unknown Sector (5,11) (unknown) Tempestine (pirate)
Lasting Vengeance (pirate) Duke's Buccaneers Headquarters (pirate)

Could you check it? I really want that "Unknown Sector 18-16" became Boron "Distant Clouds"

swatti · Post by **swatti** » Thu, 23. May 13, 10:24

Minor issues:

- Griffon still mounts flaks as MAIN and CIGs in front-turret. Isnt that supposed to be other way around? Would make more sense.

- Please add missing missile (Windstalker and Wildfire) factories. Maybe to the jumping stations and with bigger price-tag.

Had a huge list of small bits but forgot where i put it again... I SHALL RETURN!

I have looked at the map and all I need to do to fix the plot is rename Transaction Denied.

I do not intend to change anything else on the XRM map at this stage as it would require the running of a script for every one who has started their game.

I may consider it for 1.30.

The Griffon can mount CIGs in the main guns as well. Removing the flaks means removing PRG as they are on the same subtype. I think its something you may have to put up with.

I've not added the missing missile fabs because the refreshing of warestemplate was broken in AP. It is down as one of the fixes for 3.0, so I will investigate. If I can do it, I will for 1.30.

MINI-UPDATE RELEASED v1.29b
------------------------------------------

AP - only

This just renames the sector "Transaction Denied", back to its vanilla name of "Lost Order" for the Shady Business 3.0 plot.

I've looked through the plot code and it doesn't appear to matter whether the sector is pirate or neutral, so I will keep it neutral - with the XRM pirates, it would make the plot very hard if it were a pirate sector!

COMPONENTS THAT REQUIRE UPDATING IF RUNNING v1.29:

XRM PART 2 - cat/dat only.

IF YOU ARE RUNNING v1.28 OR EARLIER:

Please follow the full 1.29 release notes.

FOR IEXi users:

The version posted by Moonrat yesterday will be fine with this update.

There should be only one Kha'ak Queen ship and it should be in a Kha'ak sector - if you are seeing 3 then another script is spawning them.

Being an idiot (...) I forgot to mention I'm using RRF (X3TC) and that the Teladies are constantly trying to conquer this sector....

P.S. Thanks for 1.29

There should be several Jonferco Showrooms in Argon territory - and all the other races have showrooms too.

Try these sectors:

Red Light
Antigone Memorial
Aladna Hill
Interworlds

This is off the top of my head - there may be more. If you are not seeing them, then you have a mod conflict or the XRM is not correctly installed.

Check to see if you have lots of Federal Argon Shipyards - this would indicate a TFactories conflict which would mean the showrooms wouldn't appear. This is usually caused by people leaving the Bounce cat/dat in after creating their wall file or incorrectly installing the Complex Cleaner.

BTW - There is a good video here which showcases the XRM:

Although the author completely fails to mention he is using the XRM... Its a good showcase for the XRM nonetheless.
