Of the Download links on your collection page, only Station Debris Remover is valid. The rest say:

Invalid or Deleted File.

The key you provided for file download was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on MediaFire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or MediaFire.

You can PM SS_T about your trouble with x1tp.com. He is usually quite responsive to problems.

strange i was able to download them from the egosoft page but when i checked my stuff on MediaFire it said stuff about file being limited because encrypted or split or corrupted, so i reuploaded them and it still said the same
so will get them sorted at my sisters tomorrow as she has better internet and if that dont work i'll bug SS_T for help
thanks for ckecking my stuff

Thanks for making your stuff.

Especially the no-ring gate mod... it looks better and works much better than the rings.

I am sure that x1tp can be made to work by contacting SS_T. He has a tendency to "tinker" with the site, which results in both constant improvements and (less often) minor bugs.

Some people have been using Google Drive recently, which seems to work well. (Or LV's Public Google Code Site)

I'd love to give this a go now that it's resurfaced. Just tried the rapidshare link and get the message "Download not available. Download permission denied by uploader."

DrBullwinkle · Post by **DrBullwinkle** » Thu, 28. Feb 13, 18:32

I get the same: "Download permission denied by uploader. (0b67c2f5)"

p.s. i hate the internet

Works for me.

(PS: I know what you mean about the Internet, but DropBox is the kind of thing that takes some of the pain away from doing many tasks.
So +1 for DropBox.

WIll this work with XRM-AP as a fake patch?

cattafett · Post by **cattafett** » Thu, 9. May 13, 16:35

does XRM-AP do anything to the gate model?
if no then you are good to go as it works fine in vanilla AP
if yes then it should work if you place it in the addon folder with a higher no.
than the XRM-AP
although is XRM-AP a fake patch or a mod folder mod?

Lord Dakier · Post by **Lord Dakier** » Thu, 9. May 13, 17:14

I have it as fake patch. If I remember rightly it does something very small to gates. Should be ok to place over and check though shouldn't it?

builder680 · Post by **builder680** » Thu, 20. Feb 14, 17:48

Trying this mod with XRM. Seems to work except I've lost gate swirl animations. Is this something I can fix easily myself?

EDIT: Oh jeez. I just had to jump to a new sector to get them to swirl. I guess that's an easy "fix." lol

Also a note, it does not alter the new Terran gates. Just fyi to AP players.

Still though, nice mod!

zanzal · Post by **zanzal** » Thu, 20. Feb 14, 22:07

For Terran XRM gates you can extract TGates.txt and modify the last 4 lines to change the scene file from the Terran gate to the argon gate scene file. (You have to exit the sector after making the modification if you are already in a Terran sector to see the change.)

I think that it is also worth mentioning that if you are playing XRM and you don't modify your TGates.txt then this mod will cause Terran gates to increase in size and the larger geometry becomes fatal to your ships autopilot or at least it did in my game which is kinda against the whole point of the mod.

builder680 · Post by **builder680** » Fri, 21. Feb 14, 00:12

A good point, and nice help

I remember I opened X3 Editor once a couple years ago, thinking I could figure out how to make the Xenon fighter cockpit show up as turret cockpits for other ships. As I had no idea what I was doing, I was unsuccessful. I'll give it a go again for this though.

EDIT: I don't know where to look to find Tgates.txt Digging around like I am inside every .cat file as well as rummaging through \t is probably not wise...

zanzal · Post by **zanzal** » Fri, 21. Feb 14, 00:34

In case it gives you too much grief, here is my TGates.txt, it might help:

https://github.com/Zanzal/APReloaded/bl ... TGates.txt

builder680 · Post by **builder680** » Fri, 21. Feb 14, 01:11

I found it... I think. Is it the TGates.pck in 07.cat from the TC directory (not the addon directory)? ANSWER: NO (not for AP at least)

If so, looking at it inside X3 Editor 2 looks different from your link, but I think I can swing it

EDIT: I changed the last 4 lines like you have in your link, then jumped to a different (Terran) sector. I didn't see any change.

EDIT 2: Choosing 'open from VFS' and I saw the right TGates.pck I guess there was one inside 01.cat from the addon folder that I couldn't see earlier... Anyway, woot!! Thank you sir.

would this work in Litcubes Universe ?

Does the change affect gates by name, or just the models used by each gate?
if the models it would probably work
