Any news?

pMod->fetchNewsUpdate();
APPCRASH - UNHANDED EXCEPTION: NO_UPDATE_FOUND

We release updates the moment we have something to update. Asking for them will only get you the generic reply of "work is ongoing"

Unless you want me to start writing a blog of lots of technical stuffs

Might have somthing later, not sure. Still writing code - Menu code to be exact... i hate menu code, as if standard MSCI menu code wasent bad enough, now i have dynamic menus and context menu code to deal with heh.

Code: Select all

add menu item with context dropdown to array $Menu: text='Context Test' generationscript='!a..zz.z' userdata='Fuzzy Blanket'


add button to context menu $contextMenu: icon=1 text='Test1' callback value='Alpha'
add button to context menu $contextMenu: icon=2 text='Test2' callback value='Beta'
add seperator to context menu $contextMenu
add button to context menu $contextMenu: icon=3 text=$userData callback value='Gamma'
add infoline to context menu $contextMenu: heading='Fuzzy' text='Blanket'
$subMenu = add context submenu to context menu $contextMenu: icon=4 text='Test3'
add button to context menu $subMenu: icon=5 text='Test1' callback value='Delta'
add button to context menu $subMenu: icon=2 text='Test2' callback value='Epsilon'
add seperator to context menu $subMenu
add button to context menu $subMenu: icon=3 text=$userData callback value='Zeta'
add infoline to context menu $subMenu: heading='Fuzzy' text='Blanket'

A good UI is what the X series never had. Good luck with this epic undertaking

I've roamed these forumes since I joined.

And now I find this?

Without getting to explicit in my description of my joy, but this is l¤%!"¤ awesome!

I read the description on the first page. If you pull off half of it, then this mod is officially X4.

x3ap is all but uninstalled on my computer... until this is released. Then my life (which has come up for air) will disappear once more...

I have a suggestion - to add the BBC news to stations, as in X3 Reunion. Such as news about invading enemies in the sectors of race, news about pirated and Xenon activity, news about the attacks on stations. Thanks to such news player will be informed of the universe. And most of the events in the universe will not pass player.

I like this.

XTC had a news system, they even released it for X3Tc as a look at XTC mod. And the little messages where nice, too bad the mod got me bored it had a great bailing system and some nice weapons and effects but... it's universe just lacked the at home feeling i got from the X3TC/X3 ap vanilla's i love the home sectors of the boron and Argon for no real reason.

Any news? even if it is just a baffling note about what your working on atm hehe

Jack08 · Post by **Jack08** » Sat, 8. Feb 14, 03:14

TrixX is in the middle of moving house, and a close member of my family has had some very major health scares in the last few days, so im not in the mood to work on the mod at the moment because of this.

Im sorry all, but for now the project is on hold for an undetermined period of time.

alex4501 · Post by **alex4501** » Sat, 8. Feb 14, 11:53

Oh no, I hope they get better soon you have all our thoughts and best wishes.

Falcrack · Post by **Falcrack** » Fri, 21. Feb 14, 05:58

Should I keep checking this forum periodically (ie daily) for updates to this mod, or give up? Cause there is otherwise no reason for me to come to the Egosoft forums at all other than this

TrixX · Post by **TrixX** » Fri, 21. Feb 14, 06:54

Well hopefully we should be back on track soon. Still unpacking at the new place at the moment, and just managed to get my net sorted (took a week longer than it should have!).

Just one more person who wants to voice their support for your project. I think what you're trying to accomplish looks absolutely amazing, and I'm eagerly anticipating it.

That being said, I completely understand the constrictions of the real world. Best of luck to you. I hope everything works out well so that you can continue on.

I have alot of colours to pick, any suggestions? - http://www.colorpicker.com/ will accept the hex codes (just remove the 0XFF from the begining of them)P

Colors that match/resemble each race's engine exhausts would be fairly intuitive, I'd reckon.

bluenog143 · Post by **bluenog143** » Fri, 21. Mar 14, 19:40

@Jack08

Are you asking for suggestions on the races that already have colors, or for the ones that say "DefaultColor", or do you want suggestions for all of them?
