[X3LU] X-Missions Reloaded (XM-R) v1.59b

I don't know, this mission is in my opinion a little bit too simple. As soon as you would get a TL, you would be able to do a lot of these missions, and make a lot of money. Besides, adding many new stations can be a problem.

I'll see what's possible for the 1.3, but if I add a build station mission type, I think it has to be different from the vanilla's one.

I've been using this with LU now for a few days and must say it really fits in well and works perfectly. Nicely done!

However, I've ran into one issue though. Whenever LU has a patch that requires an export/import (which happens quite regularly) you loose all of XRM's progress, like the perks, station standings, active missions and so on.
This information is, logically, not exported by LU.

Might be an idea to develop something like an export/import functionality for this mod as well. No idea how hard this is but without this the use of this mod for LU, although it works perfectly, is still kinda limited.

Other option would be that LitCube incorporates it in his export/import functionality for LU but I kinda doubt he'll do that

Yes I'm thinking about that, but first I need to understand how the export/import thing works.

And yeah, it would be stupid to incorporate my script variables into the official E/I, as its primary goal is to avoid any third party scripts mistakes.

But I think I can do something

I had fixed that in previous versions of X-Missions and forgot to fix it in X-Missions Reloaded... Will be fixed in the next version ! Thanks for the feedback.

great! curious to see what you come up with

I'm sure Litcube can give you some pointers how his E/I is working

Jack08 is going to need a modular EI system as well.

What I'll be doing, likely, is read a global variable array which you dudes will use to register your EIs.

I'll provide more details later.

Thank you dear sir, that would be great indeed !

HI Joubarbe,

I installed XMR v1.2 into X3:AP running LU and a couple of the scripts that are reported to be compatible with LU v1.2.2. I activated it thought the AL settings and your scripts seem to be working initially but I am not sure if they are working totally. Or more likely, where I am going wrong.

Without wanting to spoiler, I received a message from York Yader and went straight to the sector he suggested but I cannot find him (in stations or any ship) or a trigger. I've tried docking at the Trade Station and the Military Outpost, and convoing captains of all M6 or larger ships. No luck.

No idea if the other scripts are compatible in combination so listing:
- Marine Repairs and Training-V2.13
- OKTraders v1.6.1 (none in operation however)
- Salvage Commands and NPCs
- Satellite Early Warning Network
- Smart Turrets
- Pirate Guild 3

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Sparks

I suppose you were in Senator's Badlands, the Yaki sector ?

All plots and missions pass through the Missions Assistant. So you have to dock at the shipyard, then go to custom commands -> Personal Missions Assistant, then talk to the guy (the name is randomized).

You also have to configure the hotkey for the PMA.

The message asked me to go to:

Spoiler

Show

"Their outpost in Elena's Fortune.". Mission relates to Argons reclaiming pirate systems.

I've tried entering the system via jumping and via flying through the the East gate. There are no entries in the XMR hotkeyed menu while I am in that system. Regular missions are disabled so that part is definitely working.

Edit, when I loaded my LU game I was in Ares Iota (LU sector) and that is where I received the message. I've not visited Senator's Badlands yet - perhaps the message was from them but it is ambiguous. I thought it was from the Argons asking me to help them but I am not sure now.

Joubarbe · Post by **Joubarbe** » Wed, 16. Jul 14, 21:55

Oh this the other plot. Dock to the military outpost then open the PMA.

Success!

Thanks

Just wanted to thank you for your work on such a satisfying mod.

Some of the missions add small touches of life to the galaxy, while others brought me back to the Freespace 2 days of defending a broken industrial while it undergoes repairs. A genuine smile, and the interface has been a pleasure to work with as well. Good work on the documentation, I might add.

My only recommendation would be allowing players to pick which area they would prefer unlocked at the start of a new game, without being required to chose one of the alternative life paths which completely changes the opening. The default Terran Commander start, along with any custom or personal starts I make, involve "hacking in" a spare Perk Point just so I can unlock the regional area I've chosen to start in. Nothing major, and it doesn't detract from the overall slow-clapping this mod deserves.

Joubarbe · Post by **Joubarbe** » Thu, 17. Jul 14, 12:29

Thank you for the kind words.

I must confess, I completely forgot to consider other game starts than LU's ones

In the next patch, you will receive 1 perk point at the start, allowing you to unlock one network other than Argons (the Argon network will stay unlocked by default — let's say it's because they play an important role in the universe and they have a lot of work to offer !).

NodusCursorius · Post by **NodusCursorius** » Thu, 17. Jul 14, 12:36

That's an acceptable, efficient solution.

On a less important note: I confess Argon is the least enjoyable race, for me. But your spoiler-free hint ignites the curiosity I have regarding expanded game lore and what your plots offer. So.. FINE I WILL ARGON PRIME SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.

But only because you're a dapper chap.

Joubarbe · Post by **Joubarbe** » Thu, 17. Jul 14, 12:48

Just to be clear : this script will not turn the universe upside down. I was talking about vanilla TC and AP, in which Argons play an important role indeed.

Fixed that typographical error for you. Also, thank you for the clarification regarding if your plots.

I have a problem wiht Snack Break mission (with LU).
When I dock at proper station wiht needed ware there is no reaction.
I try 2 missions. I use automatic pilot ship and my own ship.

Sory for my English.

@gchojna1 : did you use the Personal Missions Assistant command in additional commands to unload the required wares ?
