[MOD] [AP+TC] XRM 1.19f - IEX 1.2a Compatibility patch (23.04.2012)

Black147 · Post by **Black147** » Sun, 8. Apr 12, 15:08

Is MARS turned on on AI ships? You did not install the little fighter drone mod file that comes with MARS?

CSecG is reported to be non working on AP, see last posts in its thread.
LazCorp Claim Sector is also extremely old and has some reported weirdness at times.
The other scripts should be ok. Please uninstall the above two scripts however and try again and report back.
I did find something strange in the gamestart file you are using (Argon Peacekeeper), but I doubt it would cause a freeze like that. Let´s narrow this down.

Its turned off in the config. I didn't install the mod file because in the install notes of XRM it says that its already included in XRM.

I uninstalled the two scripts, but the freeze is still there, and it seems the same all the time. In 10 to 15 seconds after I enter the sector it happens. Without the patch it doesn't happen.

Edit: Just to be sure, I've made a reinstall, being extra careful, and the game still freezes. First I thought that maybe the problem was gone, since I didn't get the freeze from the very first time I entered the sector, but after a few minutes it still froze. I have no idea what to do. I guess I am gonna abandon the idea of playing IEX+ XRM and go only for XRM

.

Edit2: I am starting to suspect that maybe the problem is with the ammount of RAM that I have. 4 gb ddr3 may be too small for IEX+XRM. How much RAM do you have, Black147?

First I thought that maybe the problem was gone, since I didn't get the freeze from the very first time I entered the sector, but after a few minutes it still froze.

I continue to be unable to reproduce that with my current savegame, but that was a Bankrupt Assassin start. However: Using the Argon Peacekeeper start, I got it to freeze right at the start in Argon sector 148. The sector wouldn´t even fully load, it froze immediately.
I think I found the culprit and it is a mystery to me why it didn´t freeze in my save or how you managed to even load that Argon start and go to Circle of Labour.

Please get this, replace the old fake patch XRM/IEX file and try again.

The TSuns file has duplicate IDs on some suns, changing that fixes the crashes in my case, let´s see if it does for you too. If it does, Moonrat should fix that in his mod too. The TSuns file is from his package.

Fast 4 gig DDR2 on 3 year old Laptop on win7 64. That isn´t your problem

The new patch seems to fix the problem

. I will test it more tonight when I will have more time, but for now I flew for about 15 minutes in that sector and I didn't get a freeze.

Thank you!

Done! It'll be included within IEX 1.2. My TSuns.txt now matches your patched version.

Thanks for picking that up, I'm surprised that no one else appears to have reported a crash before now either using XRM/IEX or IEX by itself?
I've also checked the sectors in both TC & AP using the corrected TSuns.txt which included those suns at the end of the file and they all appear fine.

Thanks Moonrat!

New version for IEX1.2a is out!

Simple install of fake patch, no scripts to run. As always if you want all of the new material Moonrat included you´ll need to start a new game.

Hi, I've noticed that the TC/AP Environments link above points to my IEX pages and not to your TC/AP pages. Fantastic job on the IEX incorporation into XRM and TC/AP by the way.

I'm putting a link to TC/AP in addition to the XRM link already there on the IEX OP.

Just wanted to ask what type of timeframe needs to go into updating to the new version of IEX for XRM 1.20?

No idea what needs to be done, just curious really.

yep...XRM 1.20 is preety cool.But i can't upgrade to it because i also need iex to upfgrade...
preety soon i hope

Black147 · Post by **Black147** » Mon, 7. May 12, 17:29

Yeah, seen. Check back tomorrow, I´m not quite sure yet what to do with the new XRM suns. Please note that the 1.6 patch version can be used with XRM 1.20 but you will not get the new XRM suns. I´ll see what to do about that and if they can be merged or if you´ll need to choose between either.

If you´re fine with the above minor problem, go ahead and upgrade to XRM 1.20. Everything else should work fine. I´ll leave the officially supported version at 1.19f until I have that sun problem sorted.

Ah cool, thanks for the reply

There were quite a few map changes in 1.20. Quite a few ship selling locations were added and also a new gate link.

Black147 · Post by **Black147** » Tue, 8. May 12, 02:24

Indeed. It is therefore necessary to follow the XRM upgrade instructions and run the upgrade scripts to add these locations.

The changes will be in the map in 1.7.

paulwheeler · Post by **paulwheeler** » Tue, 8. May 12, 11:48

BTW - Moonrat has asked permission to use my new suns in the main IEX, so they will likely be included in the next IEX update anyway.

Just out of curiosity, when can we expect a patch for XRM v.1.21? I wanted to try it out, but now I can't push myself to play without the visual delights of IEX

Black147 · Post by **Black147** » Thu, 24. May 12, 13:16

I apologize for the delay, but I have comp trouble atm. Until that is fixed I will not be able to post an update here.

The last XRM version I looked at was 1.20 and the 1.6 patch will work with it but you must run Paul's update scripts to add the locations/gates. I have not looked at 1.21 yet - if there were no map changes or using Paul's update scripts is sufficient to get all changes made, then you can continue to use patch 1.6.
Until my comp is repaired you'll have to figure out yourself whether the above works or not .... no guarantees.

dreamer2008 · Post by **dreamer2008** » Fri, 25. May 12, 21:29

Sorry to hear about your computer, its really unpleasant when that happens. Well, I guess I will stay with XRM version 1.19 for a while then, I'm in no hurry to change it. I am in the middle of the exam session anyway.

paulwheeler · Post by **paulwheeler** » Fri, 25. May 12, 21:58

There were no map changes in 1.21.

The main update in 1.21 was a major overhaul of the RRF scripts. These are pretty essential, so even if youre staying on 1.19, i highly recommend dropping the latest set of scripts in.

Although as Black147 (snooker reference???) said, you should be fine to update the whole thing and run the 1.20 and 1.21 patch scripts - just dont restart your game as that will set you back to the 1.19 universe (although even if you do its only one new gate link and a few ship selling locations youll miss out on - nothing game breaking).

dreamer2008 · Post by **dreamer2008** » Sat, 26. May 12, 14:38

Thank you for the information, Paulwheeler. In that case I will update.

Erenar · Post by **Erenar** » Fri, 22. Jun 12, 13:08

I've just come back after a little break away from X and I'm trying to get my old plugin config back in order.

Just to confirm... If I setup XRM 1.23, IEX1.2a and this, I will miss out on some changes XRM makes when starting a new game? Even if I run any XRM update scripts it won't make any difference, the universe changes from 1.20(?) will be gone?

I feel so out of touch lol.
