For Steam, reading this also may be useful - if that works (didn't test it myself), it should prevent such things.

For the other things, ofc permission is necessary, but I can tell you, that it will be almost impossible (without huge effort at least) to extract single scripts out of XTC, as they are all belonging together - same lib-scripts used, same global vars, same textfiles, etc.
well, perhaps once I've got the rest of these Piratical ships done, I'll spend a few hour making a spreadsheet/flowchart of what needs what and put together packs. with permission from your esteemed selves, of course. I may not have as much free time as I used to, but I still have hours and hours to fiddle and futz.

hi xD

Well .. everything was going well.. (I started that Queen game xD )
Until I had 3x dolphins and I was able to make a station....

What exactly happened is that when I go to stations trade menu ... in the boron sector.. the game just freezes.

I reproduced the error twice.[/b]

To those people getting the blank missions could they explain where and what missions? also the freeze--remotely or in system? and was it a shipyard?

I've had a steam install and its always reverted back to 'auto update' but i've never noticed anything wrong with the game.

I go around do my other things.. then i come to the station that sells other stations like Energy, silicon etc..

Now, I use scroll wheel to scroll through the list and then freeze

Secondly, a question. I have just done a clean install of terran conflict from steam, so I have version 3.1 installed. I then installed the full 1.2a version of xtended over the top, and it works great. But the question is, can I use MARS with it, and how?

I have seen something in the MARS thread that very very vaugely hints at downloading some file and renaming it but it is not very well explained at all tbh. And some of us barely even know what a t file is let alone why we should be downloading and renaming them. So can someone please tell me if

a) MARS works with Xtended and
b) How do I get them both working together in an easy step by step way

Thankyou to anyone who can help me with this, it's very much appreciated :)
Install MARS, use the 7047-L044.xml modified for XTM and thats it.

Hey what does the salvage insurance option do in the AI life settings and why isent there an option to speed up rank decay? i.e. i dont fight for 3 equivalent days ingame so my combat rank decays down several levels. The higher the rank the more it should decay also so if your burned out facing multiple capital ships you can wait a few days with SETA then once your combat rank has dropped enough you fight in your fav ship without worrying about bringing your biggest ship to bare.

I thought fading fame was that but its not and barring a coding bother/to much time it would really add to the mod.

Have you chosen the new HUD during installation?

Full installation should install WITH xtc hud. If you selected another setup (you said you selected something else) - like xtc no hud or something like that, then you don't get the new hud. Every option has a description about what it contains. Next time, please read it properly and don't just click on the first thing that has 'HUD' in its name.

the method i described which trick mov pointed out for you does work but it is very important you used the 2.7-3.0 patch the replace the x3tc.exe, once you have done that go ahead and add 3.1 - bonus pack etc etc. enjoy your game! Also if you create the new folder in for example c:/games/xtc you may get soem slight performance gains (load times) than if you installed within the x86 programs folder etc (depending on your hardware).

hope it helps. p.s it will use the same saves folder so if you are running a vanilla game aswell make sure your not overwriting :)
I used to list PC parts here, but "the best" will suffice!

Hey man. Thanks for the advice. I have done exactly as you said. I installed the 2.7-3.0 patch and then the 3.1 patch over the top. But what is the bonus pack?

Also i did indeed install into C:\games\... so hopefully that should be all good. But it's hard to tell whether it actually replaced the exe file. but it seems to have worked ok so that's good.

Also plynak, that still isn't very clear. Does that mean that I install mars and then replace a file with another file. I would really appreciate it more step by step. I'm not expecting anyone to find me links or anything, just some more clear instructions would be nice because I'm not even sure what those T file are let alone why they are named in such a way. Thanks again and sorry for being such a pain :P

I installed the fix for blank missions and have not seen anymore, however I recently took an assassination mission from a teladi. The mission said " No pilot must be punished." (sounds like a peace loving Goner instead of a Teladi. :) )
"The traitorous scum no pilot has stolen a large sum of money from our headquarters in Bean."
When I arrived at the sector I was directed to, all six ships had no pilot aboard. They were all flying and all fired at me as if they were piloted.
Also I gained 0 notoriety for killing pirates in Aldrin space, as though I actually killed "no pilot."

Well I got a mission to deliver 4 ships to Boa. They boarded I jumped to the sector jsut to see it destroyed as the game spawns insane number of pirates. Loaded, jumped again, got close and the mission told me to contact a specific person on board Boa, but all I can do is to ask for a nearest shipyard or tell them to surrender. WTF? And then out of sudden, the Boa exploded with full shields and I was left with 4 ships in my hangar which I can no do anything with. Loaded again and skipped this mission. Was promised 990k credits for each, instead I spend 30 minutes for nothing...

BTW is it normal, that all Aldrin space is completely emty? No stations, nothing?

Well, perhaps you can go into their support forum and create proper bug-reports there. I doubt, that all developers look regularly through this rather large thread... (at least that was said somewhere in here ;) )... thus complaining and noone except other players reading it, is not, what you're intending, isn't it?

Well I tried, I have made an account, yet still nobody bothered to activate it for me so I can log in, but can not anything after that. So I post here. Why to have a support forum, when people can not post there?
