X-UNIVERSE3 - Modular Mod Now With 15 Addons (Latest: XU3 Update)

[SS_T]

Hi SS_T.

You were right.
The problem seems that it was the smaller map.
I uninstalled it and no more CTD
I made a new game in Argon Patriot, made many missions, flew to Oort Cloud without problems
I started in Humble Merchant, flew up to Kingdom End and Menelaus Frontier smoothly.

Good to hear

Are you change Boron Orca to Boron Shark

Thanks again

Isn't the boron orca a TL and the Boron Shark a M1?

I'm struggling to get next version of the x2 addon save game compatible, sorry. Also I don't know if it just me but when I load up a save game when using the x2 addon with the new 2.5 update the save seems to be corrupt

Mods I trust:
----> Graphics addon
--------> Planets Improvement addon
----> Music addon
----> HUD addon

Mods I don't trust and should only be installed if you want to have a look or want to test:
----> Smaller Map addon
----> X2 Ship addon
--------> X3TC MAP addon for the X2 Ship addon

Hi SS_T.

Sorry for the delay, because I was traveling.
I installed the new patch and really the game crashes.
Even I started a new game, it crashes.
Even when you start, the sound of gunfire disappeared.
I tried to disable some parts of the MOD by the Plugin Manager but did not work.
Your log disappeared at the first screen
I'll have to wait for repair it
But it is a great MOD.

Thanks

tbh it sounds like you have a bad install. What I would do is uninstall all of my mods, then reinstall them and see if that fixes it.

updating to 2.5

1. Download the patch
2. Go to the plugin manager
3. Go to Advanced
4. Go to prepare to patch game
5. Exit the plugin manager
6. Install the X3TC patch
7. Go back to the plugin manager
8. Go to advanced
9. Go to finish patching game
10. Exit it
11. Then play you game and it *should* work, especially if it is only the downloads mentioned below.

Relatively Safe Mods:
----> Graphics addon
--------> Planets Improvement addon
----> Music addon
----> HUD addon

New Versions
Currently I am doing a lot of website projects to build a portfolio up, so I haven't had much time lately but I will be carrying on with this and the X1: past and future mod.

New version:

Planets Improvement Plugin for the graphics addon 0.0.0.3:
Worked on the continent part of the planet to see if I could improve it. Anyway if it does or does not improve it here it is Planets Improvement addon also change log can be found in the 2nd post.

Here is the life of the planet from vanilla x3tc change with each version of my mods until this latest version:

New Plugin for the graphics addon:

"No Trails"

Some people may be put off the graphics mod as there is engine smoke trails visible, either they don't think it is realistic or they just don't want the trails appearing in front of the ship when in seta. Well this plugin fixes this so now you can enjoy the graphics addon without smoke trails.

Download

As always the change log is in the 3rd post.

Requirements: X3TC, X-UNIVESE Mod, Graphics Addon, Plugin Manager. Any Patch

The thing is I don't think the planet plugin sould make the game crash it only contains some images (textures). I must admit, I have tried the mod recently for a longer period of time and it did crash a couple of times. I think it actually might be the main mod at fault, however I haven't personally found a link between the different CTD yet

[jacare]

Hi SS_T


Really,the problem exists.
I tried three times to enter in Treasure Chest and every time has this problem of CTD.
Coul you send me the previous version 0.0.0.3 of script Planet Enhancement Addon for me to test and see if the problem appears?
Because every time I install a new script I delete the old.

Thanks

I'm interested into the effects you're working on, possible feedbacks here since as you probably know I've been modding planets and backgrounds for long.

I just look at the screenshots, so I see a nice glow on cloud layer, how did you implemented that, through SHADERS?
A side note, the planet seems to be missing the HAZE...

I'm not clever enough to edit or create new shaders although I did have a look if I could a while ago. All I edited was the planets textures. See here to see the files I edited. The clouds iirc I basically tweaked the contrast, and some other stuff to make the clouds appear deeper.

Also your other point, yeah I removed the haze, because when I look at real pictures of planets there is not any so I edited the 'planets_haze_?????' files which took more than just changing the contrast. These files along with the planets_clouds_2ndedition_blue_diff.dds causes the glow.

[Realspace]

Actually there is haze in real planet...only it is not the one we see in the game!

This is a pic of the the haze I created (sx) vs the original (dx):

Yeah that's what I meant

[Dooms1988]

you still modding? just curious

[The-Last-Communist]

real cool but after 1 hour of gameplay...ctd...sad face , back to the other mods...

[Dooms1988]

Your getting that too? I have the same problem, but couldn't tell if it was mod or some of the scripts I am also using. I tried at first using the X1 past and future mod, and played for bout 2-4 hours (having so much fun didn't keep track of time) and then crashed, figured, happens so loaded game started playing and crashed few mins later, and continued to crash every time. So Uninstalled mod, installed this mod and decided to give it a try, see differences, and see what the crashing was all about. Again start game play for 2-4 hours (yet again having fun) and then crash, reload and like before crashes ever 2-4 mins. So don't know what the hell to think now. And cant post anything on technical support forum page.[/code]

yhea...i know, its real onoying! but lets hope it gets beter , a patch or somthing or more solid code? or maybie its or pc s ?

[Dooms1988]

Problem Is I don't know if its the mod or what it is.
Are you using any other scripts other then things in this mod?

Ive also been getting some help in the technical support forums to try and figure it out ,Ive tried a few things but they haven't helped yet. but ill keep trying and ill let you know if i fix it.

What I don't get is, Its perfectly fine for a few hours and then begins to crash constantly. what would cause that?
