When i get back in front of my PC i will check the Xeon trails. Might be an error in the ship files.

Hello,
good looking mod but ... there is the problem - it doing nothing in my game

I have Steam version of X3 TC version 2.6
As you describe I installed this by unrar 2 files (Colour engAv16.cat and Colour engAv16.dat) into main game directory: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\x3 terran conflict

But when I jump into my game then nothing happens (I did not start new game but continue from last save) - engine trails looks still the same as in vanilla game.

I read this topic, but I did not found solution.
Can someone help please?

Are you selecting the mod in the mod menu on start up ?

Hmmm I did not ... but this button "Select Mod package"n is not active - I can't press it.

Should I create Mod subdirectory in main game game directory? Or I must edit some config file to enable this mod?

Wait ....

I checked my old X3 Reunion - and there is subdirectory mods (I do not have this subdirectory in TC).

So I created subdir mods, moved yours file to it and ... Voila - it is works now.

Please change installation instruction for your mods - files must not be copied to main TC directory but to mods subdirectory and mod must be selected (enabled) on start window.

Thank you for advice - it lead me to correct solution.

Happy modding!

P.S: Engines now looks GREAT! It should definitellybe a part of vanilla game - did Egosoft contact you?

P.P.S: Very nice is this - switch to external view, move camera above ship and while flying press Q button - nice DNA effect

The Xenon trails are fine here.

I can confirm that Khaak ships don't have trails yet.

@ Paulwheeler:: Thanks for the info ill have to check a few things seems a bit strange that one person has them and someone else doesn't.

@Nalim27:: Glad you got it working. And thanks for the head up of the install deatails. I did chnage the way the mod was packaged and most likely forgot to update the install details.

Mod should be in the super box when thats released.

If it makes any difference I posted this in the slightly wrong topic, I use the X2 callback + trails version. I have a few other mods installed but none that mess with ships.

is it just the scene files that have changed?
if so i'll replace them and see if that works.

My computer has a tendency to be very temperamental.

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Tue, 11. May 10, 17:09

Scene files, t and mov file have changed. Have you fixed your problem ? If not I will take a look to day.

I am new to modding so please forgive my newbishness, I extracted the 2 files into the main X3:TC folder. But when I load up X3:TC the button "Select Mod Package" is not selectable. This is the first Mod i have tried to install.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Ok, after reading a tutorial, I see I have to first create a mods folder. Heh, nvm nothing to see here......please drive through

New test version released. Has new trails for all ships. Needs testing.

Also includes the fix for the blastclaw prototype issue.

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Wed, 12. May 10, 18:40

Should I just use this ontop of the x2 callback since it doesn't seem like that is updated trail wise?
