ds, that's fine. I just thought I'd bring it up.

It's the first time I've even messed with the GE, so it was all new to me.

Fine job DS

Just a minor thing:
TBullets shows unknown object for all names but the SS_BULLET_PUSH .

Cheers Euclid

Just noticed another thing:

If you try to change rate of fire in TLaser you get ''entered value is incorrect. It must be a whole number''. If I untick 'Translated value' then it works but in the game the weapon name shows 'textnotfound' and also the bullets are red(ish) like ire fire.

That's correct - "unknown object" is the bullet's name. Switch the name to "ID" to see the ID instead.

If you try to change rate of fire in TLaser you get ''entered value is incorrect. It must be a whole number''. If I untick 'Translated value' then it works but in the game the weapon name shows 'textnotfound' and also the bullets are red(ish) like ire fire.

The "entered value is incorrect" thing is a bug. However I haven't experienced any errors in the game. I'm running the 2.0.1.

I've X3 2.0 installed and i installed two Battlestar Galactica ships. I try to edit one of the with x3 editor. When i open the ship installers ShipCreator.cat/TShips.pck it says: Error showing object: Overflow. Do you know why?
Thanks

Hi All!

Doubleshadow....

I had some problems modding the lasers....
When i tried to change the bullettype in tlasers and the rate of fire i got an error message "Entered value is incorrect. It must be whole number."
By editing these values manually via the raw slider the editor writes i.e. a 30.00000 instead of a simple 30
These .0000 numbers don't seem to be recognized by the game.

I edited the files from vat files (.pck) and saved them directly back to the cat's
Is this an editor issue or is it just some wrong handling of mine?

Thanks alot

Goose

bug report
When editing TShips with the txt editor, the buttons to add or remove guns and missiles to ships don't work. Manually changing the "possible lasers/missiles" offsets on the weapons tab will change the display on the lasers/missiles tabs. So it seems it's just the buttons that are broken.

@Jakesnake5 - no I didn't

(really

)

@Klyith - what a nasty bug. Took me quite a lot of time until I realized what's going on.

To all:

Here is the bug fix.

If your antivirus will complain, then you are a weird fellow - the file X3Editor_patch_0.10_to_0.11.exe was scanned at http://www.virustotal.com/ and report was all clean.

Doubleshadow, the previous fix worked great. But I've got a new bug!

Still in the tships mode of the txt editor... This time dealing with copy & paste of ships. Copy and paste from within a tships file (like to duplicate a ship) does nothing.

Copying from one tships to another produces: "Error showing object: subscript out of range", and pastes an entry that is blank except for the type ID. It shows that error message again every time you re-select the pasted ship. But saving the tships seems to save everything ok (including the pasted ship), and it works the next time I open the file.

But that error weirds me out, so I'm always saving to a third tships file & verifying changes...

Those Americans! Nothing can satisfy them...

Here is the patch /* edit: url removed - follow the discussion */ - it's not "official" - I will do some other changes before releasing "official version 12". But the bug is fixed.
Until you find another one

I did noticed the ship count would increase on a paste, even though the ship list didn't update. Save/Reload does correct this with the new version.

The problem I'm having, is adding cockpits/turrets to a ship, and getting a bug.

For example:

I copy one of the Yaki Mobile Pirate Station ships. Paste it on the end, save/load and change it's id. This bit works fine.

But, add a new cockpit (Path index: 19, Body ID: ships\props\cameradummy, Turret Type: SS_COCKPIT_T_FRONT_TL, Position: Front), save, then reload, and it usually works.

"Error Loading from file: Type Mismatch"

Suddently, the ship window only shows the ID's (no other radio button affects this display), I can't save, the ship count has dropped by 1, and ths ship I was working on is no longer displayed at the bottom.

Whats worse, if you do this further up in the list, all ships from the one you were editing to the end vanish, and the count reflects this.

Mind you, there are no guns defined for that cockpit/turret.

Cockpit 0, can have guns defined or not. But if a person forgets to define a gun for any other turret, saves then trys to reload, is going to have issues like this.

I'd suggest, that if a person defines a cockpit/turret whos index/turret index is other that 1/0, that a dummy gun be created at the same time. Though I'm not sure how hard this would be to code. :/

Hmm....

Try my *lucky thriteen* (edit: link removed). It worked with x2bc, it must work with X3E as well.

doubleshadow · Post by **doubleshadow** » Tue, 16. Jan 07, 13:24

Another version - 0.0.14

Fixes the above reported bugs. Also the object indexes in T files are now properly update when adding/deleting objects.

X3 Editor 0.0.14
