Sounds like you've got yourself some text files missing. Try reinstalling xtm. This really should be in the xtm post by the way.

Has anyone else noticed a problem with the Boron Whale when undocking? At most locations (especially argon trading stations), when I undock I immediately crash or get hooked onto the docking area and slowly die!

Thanks

Al

theres alot of ships there that the file name is incompleate resulting in most of the new ships beig named
ReadtextXXXXX X= set of numbers

This is not a bug in XTM--you clearly haven't got the mod installed properly. (All the XTM ships are named correctly for me).

Thats what it is indeed.

Are you sure about this? Every time I've read this (docking at spacedocks impossible for M5-M3), it was caused by single ship models which contained custom docking ports, e.g. the Star Trek ships by Magrathean Monkey, which have a custom docking bay. After he adapted them to work with XTM, docking at shipyards became possible again even with them installed.

Also, my ship installer mod which contains 70% of the ships from the DDRS mod (and finally capped a Wakizashi, yay

) worked just fine with XTM.

Did you copy the .CAT and .DAT file from the XTM RAR into the X3 directory before you installed the .SPK?

I have a similar problem, PErseus Vanguard ys just the guns and the engine effect, and hittiong the guns is hard! (it's the only way they'll die!)

defiant1 · Post by **defiant1** » Fri, 20. Jul 07, 14:49

what i did was rename the two files from 10.cat/dat and changed them to the next number that was avable to me and then i installed the spk

should i remove the files and rename them to 10 or what ever number they come as and override the files they replace? or what?

As far as I remember that was a bug in version 0.71. A correctly applied update to 0.72 should get rid of this.

I've just managed to get Xtended up and running, and it is working fine, with all sorts of weird ships flying around, but I can't find the five alternate starts shown in the manual. They are not in Custom starts; is there something else I have to do to get them?

I believe its still a plugin manager issue. Reinstall the XTM script .spk after you install any other scripts to bring them back.

bah...wow forums use a more "primitive" forum system...thies (least from what i can tell) is database driven while the wow forums are more http/php [i think??] driven...plus they may not be coded correctly...hehe...anyways back to topic...

should i reinstall the xtm mod files and allow it to override what ever it does override [if anything] and same for the patch or what?

ok sounds like the problem is not with XTM it's with your knowledge on how to install a mod.

the mod files are supposed to be under c:\program files\egosoft\x3 reunion\mods (or wherever you installed x3 to)

not under my documents\x3. this is where your save games go.

so point the installer at the correct folder and try again.

The XTM file don`t go in the MOD folder.

YOu have to put them in the ROOT X3 reunion folder, where you find the X3.exe file.
Make sure that you don`t have any 10 CAT/DAT file.
As you installed the script files via the plugin you proberably will have.
If you do remove the script files.

Then extract the MOD files to the X3 directory.
BEST way is too extract the rar to a serperate folder and then move the files, as when extracted, it can make a XTM7.a folder.
After you have copied those files then install the script file vis the plugin manager!

when i installed it, that is not what the readme said. the readme said it goes in the mod folder. that's where i put it and it works fine.
