[XTM - TECH. SUPPORT] Technical support for Xtended Mod

it seems that the lack of npc ships (not that there are none but in npc factory/station owned ships list there is no ship) isnt happening in the mod only , i tried to play on an x3 R clean install , no mods and no scripts on , and its the same , when i go to owned ships list on a npc station the list is blank , no ships in it ...

Sartorie · Post by **Sartorie** » Mon, 23. Feb 09, 15:38

thats because X3 uses "freetraders" and stations do no longer own ships at all

yeh, found that out few min ago ... that means XTM works as it should ... hmmm strange tho , no ships ever docked at my stations and the price for products were low enough ... anyways now that i kno its normal im happy

naisha · Post by **naisha** » Wed, 25. Feb 09, 18:39

considering the fact that no1 replies on XTM forums anymore or they do but very rarely i will try my luck here ...

so , i get an error "File not found" and the game crashes to desktop ... it happenes when i enter sectors (and i think in combat, ppl say happened in combat too but still not sure cause i havent battled yet) ... it happenes randomly , sometimes i can enter the sector and sometimes i cant ...

i think its related to the soundtracks or something due to the timing ... just entering the sector and when the music usualy starts playing i get this error ...

never happened befor on XTM , but when i moved on vista started to crash ...
anyone , ideeas ?

naisha,

Lost of posts on sector-enter-crash but its been a while. Try a search on sector+crash but set results for posts not threads.

Also I've found them before but most were on XP. There are some other known file-access problems with Vista but I am still runnin XP.

See if you can find posts and I'll dig in in a bit for you as well.

naisha · Post by **naisha** » Thu, 26. Feb 09, 08:28

ive looked but nothing so far

tho i found a topic about this on XTM forums , archives section , the topic was locked, like the topic died (they didnt find any solution or why its happening of what ive read there)

spoidz · Post by **spoidz** » Fri, 27. Feb 09, 01:57

naisha,

Yeah, sorry I just searched every post of mine and I didn't get any more than you found.

The only "solutions" reffed are

1) try jumping back into the sector versus driving into it to get the gate to "set".

2) try sending another owned ship into it to get it to set

If you can name that "File not found" I might be able to recognize it and help further but that's about it.

As far as the Vista idea, I know there have been posts about how Vista can lock out (mark read only) files without telling you. You might try checking a few folders and check their File Attributes. Also check that you have the Vista permissions (Admin or whatever) in order to get Vista to allow you to execute all the files in the X3 folder.

NOTE: I am still on XP so I can't offer any reliable specific VISTA help.

I am lost. Two full days searching for a TB and still no joy. I added the script that allowed the factories to be reset, as they apparently get deleted by the God Engine and it did not seem to work. I added the BBS tractor Beam merchant, and I have searched many BBs barter systems and still I am not offered one.

Why do I need a TB for the complex Cleaner to work? I just want to tidy up a few factories...

Sigh, any help would be greatly received. Anything...

Hippotastic · Post by **Hippotastic** » Mon, 23. Mar 09, 11:36

ok another question, as no takers, only lurkers.

How do I script in a tractor beam to one of my ships?

Thanks.

With the "XTM" on topic I assume that you are a Xtended mod user. So I merged the questions into the XTM thread (cf. Forum Rules) in case the mod affects the TB availability in some way.

As for scripting a ship upgrade, perhaps the sticky thread about "Cheats" ...

If you do the Bala Gi missions it should

spawn one on the equipment dock in Interworlds after you find the Yacht.

i got the Xteneded up and running but when i start a new game and get to home of light for teh ecsort mission and i start heading for teh west gate i fly toward for abit than the game stops and a window comes up that says X# stop working could someone let me know what that means? thanks and i will appreicate it

spoidz · Post by **spoidz** » Thu, 26. Mar 09, 02:01

ryoushifragon,

Couple answers might narrow down any help we can offer:

Was X3 Vanilla running fine before adding XTM?

Did you try the mission in Vanilla before?

Did you explore Argon Prime and does XTM appear to be working clean? (Is there traffic in Argon Prime, can you dock at stations, any other errors before this etc).

Were there any crashes on any other gates along the way?

Options are:

The Gate Crash Problem others have had.

XTM bad install, Vanilla bad install or both

Or good installs but problems with your PC running either or both.

Give us some detail and I'll try to offer some help and others may as well.

ryoushifragon · Post by **ryoushifragon** » Thu, 26. Mar 09, 04:53

yes teh game was running good before i got teh XTm up and running and i never had trouble playing it but there is one thing i have trouble with is things looks dark and on some of the mission its so dark i can't play them cause i can't see it but other than that it working good the problem i got it happens on my way to west gate i got to go through to go to teh sector before teh last sector on the escort mission i think i install teh XTM files and etc right i went by the manual oh also when i start a new game a message comes up saying they can't find the XTM mod but a accounment says the Xtended went through

spoidz · Post by **spoidz** » Thu, 26. Mar 09, 16:03

ryoushifragon,

It sounds like a bad install. Most of the posts I've seen that "can't find the XTM mod" are usually a bad install.

Any chance you still have a clean install of Vanilla? It will save some time re-installing.

If you are already getting "can't find the mod" errors it probably won't help digging further until you have a clean install.

Not sure which manual you are using but here is the most current install instructions link:

http://www.thexuniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2720

Make sure you are using the most current XTM version and start a NEW game. After you have XTM install started, before you start anything, use the built-in checker here:

http://www.thexuniverse.com/forum/showt ... hp?t=10397

If/when you re-install X3-Vanilla, after you have a clean install of that and it's running clean. Make a back-up copy of that entire folder so you don't have to start from scratch if XTM burps again.

I uninstalled my copy of X3 back in the day, and now would like to play again.

However, the webpage to download this Mod is down. Is this a permanent thing? Will it be back up? Are there other locations to download the English XTM? (The scripts link in the "download XTM" thread works for me, however, the core 337 MB file download doesn't.

russianfool20825,

TXU is in the middle of a server move, I can't remember how long but it was supposed to be fairly short.

The link at the top of this thread is still working for me:

http://dl2.egosoft.com/XTM.7a.rar

The XTM 7a is the CORE file that has not changed.

russianfool20825 · Post by **russianfool20825** » Mon, 30. Mar 09, 01:41

Thanks for the quick response, the link is working for me now as well (was giving me an error earlier). Got it up and running on my computer
