Hi @ mq!

The ships that i capture are still turning red and atacking me. :o

Three questions...
1) If i enoy a race like the split will they send bounty hunters for me?
2) Are the M6's and M2's in your mod Capturable like the ones in Assassination missions?
3) Will we see M1's in any future updates?

Fantastic mod btw. :D

Hi mq, The same capping problem turning red again.

I was attacked in my M2, and there was one M2 with PSGs one M6 four M3s three M5s and one M4. It was a pirate attack so all the ships were from different Races. All together ten ships.

The ships where in a group so there was some kind of formation.
The M2 and M6 were together and the M5s were flying around in this formation.

The distance from ships was 5km when I got the message.
I capped an M3 and then turned red again.

If i was not ready for them i would have been killed.

I hope the information above is helpful to you.

Hi, thanks for your great feedback. Especially the listing of the ships is very interesting, as for the last versions it have to be 1 M2, 2 M6, 4 M3, 1 M4 and 2 M5.
It would be good if you had the dev-extension installed and if you could make a screenshot of the trace.
Maybe there is a probleme with the version updating. It is still bad as I still have no internet (except my slow mobilephone) and I still have to set up my inventar of my new room :(
But you can sure that I will keep this in mind and check it as soon as I have some time, don´t think that I forget you ;)

greets,

the trace is located in the logbook marked with "Developer Trace: [...]". greets,
mq

p.s.
It would be good if you convert the screenshot to 16-color-bitmap or so, because a normal screenshot takes some time with my low-speed-internet ;)

Another update:
- from now on there are versionnumbers :P
- captured enemies are now really captured ;)
All links and descriptions see first post.
And fixed some bugs in the dev-extension (renamed it to avoid further missunderstandings)
Note that links had changed!

As I said above, I won´t ask until I think the plugin is finished, but I won´t stop you asking yourself.

mq have you found out how to fix the capping problem yet?

Just wondered if it was easy to fix or very hard?

The caping prob is fixed in the latest version. :wink:

I was messing around with the split and got a split station to turn red on me...then the split sent bounty hunters for me, the thing is when I killed the split bounty hunters the Split were thanking me for blowing up their assassins and my split rating was going up. Just seems a bit funny seing how they sent the assassins for me. I think rep reduction would be good when killing a races bounty hunters. (maybe make the race bounty hunters not pirates.)

Capping problem wasnt that hard to find.
But the thing Sunfire is describing I have to fix, that problem only occurs since the last 1-2 version I think, that wasn´t wanted :)
I´ll fix this. thx.
btw: Tuesday I will have my internet back, I hope :D

yay! the capping is fixed :D works a treat now.

but. (I always have a but don't I ;))

Sometimes when I get a bounty hunter message I get 3-4 at the same time.. and I end up with 15+ ships attacking.

Hi,

Just downloaded this script, installed it & reloaded my latest save.

Got the "mission" right away but the message I got was just a Readtext entry. I checked the 444958.xml was correctly in the t directory (it was), opened it & noticed the language was set to "49" editied this to "44" restarted the game & the message appeared fine.

As this hasn't been reported recently I guess this bug may have been inadvertantly re-introduced? I downloaded the non-dev plugin from the first post in this thread, I assume that's the most up to date version?

Anyway, looks like a cool script, gonna have a play now. :)

Scoob.

Just a small post to tell you us my enthusiasm! We (french X2-gamers) are very late about modding... I should have a look upon the german forums too... :o

I'll give that mod a try (I have to test so much things, au secours, heilige sch****, I won't sleep for a while...), and if you're interested in that, I should be able to care about the french translations!

Thx a lot for that great job mq!

(I dl it and I just hope I'll won't crash)

Hi mq, have you got your internet connection installed?

We would like more news on your script.

I am using this script. It's great.

Not sure what you mean by safe(ish). It does add a bit of variation to the game, and I have not had any computer troubles with it.

It can be a bit hairy at the beginning if you get attacked when you are in a clapped out Disco with no weapons, though.
