The one in game so guess ill has to find a mod that works with this one. Basically what I want is a mod where I can set it to explore sectors then move on to the next one and on and on. Is there any that do that and also that can deploy says to known sectors. Thanks for the help.

@ bquedens: I'm not sure that would help you much. You cannot explore the new sectors until the game expansion system unlocks them, and it does so in a strange order so the expansion in one area is not progressive so your explorers will either keep stopping or will race across the whole Galaxy to the next new sector (depending on how they work of course).

Even if all the sectors are already unlocked, some are potentially 'hostile' to explorers who don't recognise the dangers.

I relaunched the game, made a fresh install, have Cycrow's cheatpack installed only.

I keep seeing these along with the missions I take.

Additionally got readtext's 4 & 17 in EQ docks. Any ideas what might that be?

General Gameplay questions.

Post by wheatbomb »

So my question today for all you fine people today should hopefully be answered pretty easily.

I have recently installed Xtended on my steam version of x3tc. (it took me a while to get an error free install. many rages.) So hopefully i dont need to go back to Techsupport. I'm running modified version of all latest installs X3TC (V3.2) and xtended TC_V2.0

I have two questions to clear up.

In my sector map there are lots of sectors but not all are connected. most have gates that have the current sector name and dump you out where you came in. EX. in sector pandoras Gate. the south gate is called pandoras gate and loops the the player to where HE/she came in. this limits my exploration via gates.
Is this supposed to happen? are all sectors supposed to be connected? theres a lot of sectors i can jump to but cant get to through jumpgate. (most of them are outer sectors not settled)

My next question is about plots. i just havent been able to find any. i have heard that there just isn't any in Xtended but hear lots of talk about Different plots. do i need to be in Vanilla? i just dont know.

Thank you if you read all this mush.
Thank you more if you try to help.

@ Sorkvild - I pointed out your post to Cycrow, but either he does not know or there is some kind of compatability with either the cheat scripts or plugin manager or both when combined with XTC .. Or maybe its XTC ( I think I have seen read text bug reports over on the TXU forum ) .. I dont know personally what the problem is, but have witnessed it myself with a similar setup and in quite a few posts around the X bazaars. I dont think the ship name errors or read text errors do any harm to the game, though it would be nice to know what you are supposed to be seeing in those slots - I dont currently have any cheat scripts installed so cannot corroborate what you are seeing other than to say I have seen it myself before with a very minimal setup and in the cheat menus of all the selectable ships and wares. Sorry I cannot help further.

@ wheatbomb - Yes the gates thing is normal, the Xverse expands as time goes along in XTC, and though you can find gates to other sectors within sectors you explore, the adjacent sectors when they are not included in the current expansion stage will read that they link to the sector you are in ( and put you back in the same sector when you try to fly through ).
Once you are allowed to go to the adjacent sector they will read as per the adjacent sectors name - You will also notice on the universe map that the same gate gains a connecting line when the adjacent sector is 'open'
So if you have connecting lines on the universe map with no sector at the end of it, that means you have a gate you can now fly through to a sector you have not visited yet which is now open.

Its mentioned in the second post of this topic - Feature list - Universe

XTC missions similarly open up as time goes on, and there are landmarks you have to achieve to make some of them trigger ( so much cash / trade rep with a certain race and / or fighting rep / or other completed stages ). Just keep playing building fighting trading thinking etc .. and eventually they will happen. For some of them you are going to need to be pretty well established anyway to afford specific ships for the job at hand .. I'll say no more :)

And I guess these will expand in future versions.

Just make sure you have all the XTC specific hotkey commands setup for XTC menus ( Shift and the F1-12 are good for these I find ) in controls options.

The Pandora Gate is as you find,throughout the game.
Ships come in from the old universe,like you do at the start, but you cannot get back.
Hence the need to explore the new universe and stake your claim.

I have noticed that large portion of these readtexts are imporatant weres.

For example... Salvage Claim Software sold by the Teladi is under SS_ware_09. When I purched it I was able to claim abandoned ships.

How do I fix all those readtexts? Help please.

I have a clean TC installation with XTC and Cycrow Cheat Package.

Go to the X3TC directory, and check the /types folder.

Remove any files that may be present. The Plugin Manager creates a 'tWares' files, which interferes with XTC's tWares, which is the extent to which the Cheat Package interferes with the mod.

Hello sorry for my English. I have a problem with shields Xtended 2.0. On my ship, I can not install the M6 Large shields, but only smal. This happens to me on all the ship when I try to buy a large tells me is the shield is incompatible with my ship.
I tried on a m6 dragon but do not go. Why?
thanks

Wel not iet. I tried with a m7 same story. Before you try to reinstall it there some option in settings artificial life that perhaps should be turned on or off?

The problem is the cockpit. Another Cokpit mod compatible on the Xtended 2.0 ?

Problem with "Enemy at the Geates" Plot

Post by uhulu »

Well, the XTC- thread here is getting long and longer and over at the XTC Forums, it's even worse. So I decided to start looking for help here in the XTC Thread and I simply hope someone can help me.

My ploblem started actually many ingame days (some two or three rt weeks) ago, without me realizing it. I've exploreed the boron sectors up to
Spoiler

Secluded Rift.
There in the trading station I read about a strike against the Xenon for which a fleet was assenbled in
Spoiler
Show
Magnificent Rift.
I then immediately left for
Spoiler
Show
Magnificent Rift
to take part in the strike, but upon arrival in the sector, I found a large Khaak invasion fleet, that shreded the Boron Fleet, originally set to attack the Xenon, to bits. So, no strike against the Xenon at that moment, it was all head over heels back to safety.

First I was not spending much attention to the situation, but when I realized, that the Khaak were advancing further, I spent more and more efforts in fighting them, because when they took over

Sudden Assult, Aciant Settlement and Tidal Magnificence
They got dangerously close to one of my key assets.

So, during the past 2-3 rt weeks, I was fighting Khaak, and looting the remains of all those battles. 2 Days ago, I was able to clear out the Khaak of all the Boron sectors that I visited so far. I assumed, that the sector west of
Spoiler
Show
Magnificent Rift
was also a Boron sector that was taken over by the Khaak, so I entered
Spoiler

Extended Rift
in a fast M6 to recon the situation and figuring out a plan for a sucessfull attack.

Upon entering the sector I realized two things. First, a Khaak Dreadnought heading straight for the Gate with me between the Gate and the Dreadnought and a message coming in, that said, I was to contact someone at a defined location. Apparently the begin of one of the XTC plots.

Now, from here it's getting complicated. The meeting point which was mentioned in the message was very unusual. I stated, I was to meet my contact in name@blabla (exakt text unknown - was too busy avoiding that damn Dreadnought). Ever since then I have a mission active, but the guidance does not work and I do not know where to fly to.

After reading in the forums a bit, I suspect the following: The message was the overture to the famos "Enemy at the gates" plot and originally stated, that I was to meet my contact in
Spoiler

the Boron trading station in Extended Rift.
Unfortunately, as the Khaak actually owned said sector, they destroyed the station long ago. Now my plot hangs in Limbo, as I'm not able to reach the contact and thus fulfill step 1 in the plot.

In the meantime, I cleared

Extended Rift
from all Khaak presence and checked the uncharted sector to the west, which I found void and unclaimed.

Now the question is, will the plot be accessible again, once the boron rebuild the traiding station in

or is it once and for all in Limbo with no chance to get restarted?

Thanks for any Information.
... so long and thanks for all the fish ...

Does XTC BBS feature rare engine tuning offers? What about the tuning crates hidden in the universe, are they available?

I've never encountered any.

There are supposedly plenty of things scattered around the universe (which can even be re-scattered via AL plugin), I've just never felt the gusto to go find them. The BBS will actually warn you when there are crates in the sector, though that applies to the loot drop ones too.

Hey guys, first post on these forums.

U have recently asked a question on the xuniverse forums but that place is as lifeless as anything.

Playing this mod xtc is there anyway of reintroducing the race wars? something like improved races? Im finding the universe fairly lifeless combat wise this time arround. No khaak and my home space is well away from the xenon.

I want race wars and more active pirates. The guld didnt help.
