ok I have downloaded and installed your maginificent mod
but I get readtext stuff all over the new ships and things
so - I started a new game @ the beginning when just installed it
(beginner- quickstart) - so none of the custom starts wich were (supposed?) to be included in the mod
I was quite shure that I didnt overwrite anything when extracting the files to the folder (highest number being 9)
couse I TOUGHT it to be a vanilla game ... bala gi = only mod/ thing I have
but when I looked in it later on I noticed cab 11 / dat 11
quite clueless there
there are some ships from the mod that DO show their name
like pirate kao or something like that
but most of the stuff (like 90+%) is Readtext
I have an English version of the game (legal)
any other info you want to know - plz ask - so I can play the game properly
Grtz
As i said even in XTM-forum:
10.dat and 10.cat are the core-files, 11.dat and 11.cat are from the script package.
The next script package will include 12.dat and 12.cat - its the normal way of patching.
To play this mod you have to start a new game. an old save won't do it.
Readtext: no idea. are some t-files missing? (447012 ->447017)
I was recently planning to run the X-Tended mod, but was put off because poelpe said you couldn't use your old save game(not compatable with mod).
I really liked what the people had done with this mod and was gutted. I didnt want to lose the many hours i'd put in pre this mod and have to do it all again.
Well saves in stations dont work, but salvage insurnce saves do. So old saves (salvage insurance) are compatalble with XTM 0.7a. I hope this helps at least a few folks atleast.
What a mod. You peaple are dedicated and talented thanks.
Not vistited or found any new sectors yet as have only just installed the mod. I actually did start again from scratch. Man the universe is a well small place with just Argon Prime to populate it. But i am looking forward to seeing all the promised content (theres loads of it).
Dont know if you guys know this but old save games (pre XTM game saves) do work, but only salvage insurance. Not saves in station. Everythihg i'v read say's they dont, and people are saying they dont but salvage do. I hope this helps in some way. Poeple who didnt want to play this mod because they would have to start again dont have to now. (All those months of play safe, few). This mod is cool.
Yes you can play XTM (or other larger mods) in a current game ...you'll just miss out on anything added via the gallaxy edit and any nex sectors (as well as any key objects added to said sectors). It'll run in-other-words, but it's pretty pointless
New ships piontless, new pirate bases to visit piontless, new well if you say so. But im pretty chuffed with it. new bbm's well i'd say its got more piont than a sharp pencil but i wouldnt want to argue with my peirs would I.
sure you can play with old saves, but you will missing the most of the new content.
you have neither new ships to buy, nor new sectors and so on - you will miss the most of fun in a game played with old saves.
I would love to see how you get into the Terran sectors
There is really no point in arguing about this subject, Xtended is set to bring players an expirence designed by the creators of the mod, by stating that a restart is required we do it to bring that full depth of the mod to them.
O.k. first just wanted to help, another its just a game and a bit of fun. Poelpe can and wil do the things they want to, and play games the way they want. it still adds a hole lot more content to a great game. and know matter what it is a great mod and a great game and my sharp pencil remark was well witty. I personally dont have a lot off time to play and cant really contemplate starting afresh, well unless i want to become divorced and forget my childrens names, was it max, mark OH blimmy
Would you guys recommend playing the game through once before trying this mod or better to install it and go 1st time through the game with this mod. It sounds awesome

You can play X3 with Xtended but its going to be harder, much harder. So I suggest you get some expirience before trying it
