X-Tended -Terran Conflict V2.2 Released. [06/09/2013] (X3:AP prototype available)

Probably a dumb question, since I imagine the answer is an emphatic 'yes', but will this make the game modified? I heard some 'mods' would not, but this looks like it would deal with quite a few scripts.

The only reason I ask is that Egosoft lists it as a 'bonus pack' download, and I heard the script pack they list just below this will not make the game modified, so I wasn't sure if this would.

Yes, this will.

Thank you - It looks like a fascinating mod, but I'm trying to get the damn steam achievements (9 missions on DID is rather..impossible)

Is this mod still being updated and 2.0 being worked on, or with the coming of rebirth has it been considered finished?

Killjaeden · Post by **Killjaeden** » Mon, 5. Dec 11, 01:02

a big chunk of 2.0 is finished, and the rest is still beeing worked on

Might there be any aprox ETA for 2.0?
I'm starting to want to play X3 again, but it'd be a waste, if you'd release 2.0 in the next 4-6 months.

Btw, AWESOME JOB!

As stated in the X-tended-forums, version 2.0 will be out this year.
So in your case: wait for it

I just started a new game after a half year pause to recall how everything works. When 2.0 comes out, I will be ready

Bobisback · Post by **Bobisback** » Wed, 7. Dec 11, 19:50

are there any differences between the shipyards?

And what is the big advantage to having a player HQ?

What station can dock the most ships?

is there a thread for version 2 detailing major changes or has that not been done yet. (I realize it has not been released yet
)

Killjaeden · Post by **Killjaeden** » Thu, 8. Dec 11, 14:54

Wharfs have the same specifications, no matter the race, as well as Shipyards iirc. So the only difference is the look

major changes:
new ships, new music, new scripts ... and the universe gets more colorfull (in a good way). For more details you have to wait

Gold Dragon · Post by **Gold Dragon** » Fri, 9. Dec 11, 01:03

I thought Wharfs only sold the smaller ships....

Curious question: Has/will Albion have any effect on X-Tended?

Its not out yet, so we don't know. XTC 2.0 will still be for normal X3TC, not sure if there will be an albion compatible version.

OMG. The X3TC box is waiting in my cupboard for 2 years now. I cant wait any longer, its Christmas allready. Again! Like last year. OMG! The X3TC addon will come soon and the Rebirth is comming little bit later. OMG? Can't wait anymore... Must have that addon now.

Send my the X-Tend V2.0 now and i give you 25€... Nope, i give you 50€, god damit.

Uh, so there seems to be particular items I can't buy in equip docks or trading stations. I have version 1.1, TC itself was patched properly, and I have two other scripts which are just added shipyards that sell rare or pirate ships. Anyway since Albion is coming out I got in the mood, started a new game with the Boron start and I can't buy a police license, ECM system, and various other kinds of software for my Angel. Yes I am high enough rank (Queen's Knight) and I have the funds and the necessary cargo size. Any explanation? No matter how many times I click on the item, I can't install the upgrade, holding the mouse over it and pushing the right arrow key doesn't work either, it just beeps at me. I should note this hasn't happend just with this start, my Terran game works the same way, various softwares just can't be installed, and I dealt with it before but its annoying now, there is a lot of new content I just haven't cracked yet and want to see. ALso, where did the asteroid scan missions go? They were very lucrative compared to the time you spent doing them. In general i'm having trouble getting rolling, my terran game as an assassin I just can't seem to get more than 5,000-10,000 per head, and my Boron game is going a bit better but still the only missions I can do are taxis and chip transports. I finally got enough money to get an IPG and a HEPT so maybe I can start fighting stuff but its just boring doing taxis all the time. Occasionally I can make a big trade run with Bo-Gas but......you could always PM me a list of the abandoned ships......that was how I got going in vanilla, its cheap but I can't afford squat, since used ships are no longer profitable I can't even buy a transport yet to really start building wealth.

EDIT: Also, someone mentioned before a few pages back that it was possible to get the repair laser back through the custom difficulty menu, how do I do this, I didn't see an option for it? If I switch the game to easy mode, I understand it gives it back, but what if I want to edit the bailing percentages and equipment drops without making the morale and skill of NPC pilots worse? Not to be a sissy, but the lack of a repair laser just slows the beginning down even more, theres already enough incentive to not sit and repair a transport or a cap ship, cause it takes forever, but if I want to sit and waste an hour of real life doing that I should be able to. Sorry if I sound overly critical, I definitely appreciate your work. The new universe looks great, the expansion system is interesting, the Galactic News thing is great, new ships and weapons are good, and like so many others I anxiously await 2.0.

EDIT 2: Problems got way worse, I tried patching to 1.2a. I renamed all the CAT/DAT files starting with number 13 to be one number higher (resulting in no #13 CAT/DAT files?), ran the patch installer to my main Steam based x3tc folder where XTC already was, unzip the hotfix files into that same folder, said yes to the overwrites, booted up the game, and it went back to normal X3 TC except none of my saves will load. Awesome, looks like I get to do a fresh reinstall of everything.

Hi,

Just wanted to ask a noob question (couldnt find anything about it in the FAQ). Will this set my game to modified? I have a steam version of X3TC.

Thanks.

X2-Eliah · Post by **X2-Eliah** » Sun, 11. Dec 11, 19:59

Yeah, unfortunately a ***modified*** tag is unavoidable, as this changes... well, an awful lot.

@Ruckus - sorry, but sounds like you really screwed up the update procedure.. GIven that you're using the steam version, best advice I can think of is deleting all local content manually, downloading the game and installing xtc straight over the top.. Well, you could try waiting for 2.0, which will require a restart anyway, if you have the patience for it.

Uncle Ruckus 42 · Post by **Uncle Ruckus 42** » Mon, 12. Dec 11, 02:05

yea.....just gonna do that, no worries I was gonna have to do it anyway if I wanted to play Albion, I just need to know now how to get two different copies of the game running without having to use steam for the copied one so I can have Albion and XTC 2.0. Oh well at least I have a good game of Shogun 2 Total War going.

Is there an OSX version of this?
I bought a mac recently to replace my old puter, and bought a copy of X3TC for the mac through App Store.

sthakker · Post by **sthakker** » Wed, 14. Dec 11, 02:12

Is there a page which lists the features of v2.0 of extended? Or do they wait until release to tell us what they are working on?

I can honestly affirm that you can get Xtended to work on the Mac, but you will likely need an app like Crossover games to open the .exe installer file.

Thanks icEPiraka.

Does the Mac have the latest updates? If not... it may be still possible but will probably end up seriously broken in places.
