Help needed by total novice in the scripting world......

Post by techno-mole »

Hello, ive been playing x2 for a while now, ive done the main plot and ive been increasing my staus etc etc, i got hold of x3 which wont run on my pc until i upgrade, or tweak the hell out of it, so i thought id have ago at putting some scripts into the game, like the transporter script, and the script for the cloaking device, anyway i found a mod which puts extra ships into the game, so i read a bit about it and thought cool, i could terrorise the universe in a borg cube, groovey, how ever i installed the mod exactly to the instal instructions, but it doesnt seem to work, so now i need help to find out why, or in other words what did i do wrong :?
the mod i tried to get to work is - the top gun mod v2.0, it also has some extra scripts for your own shipyard and some other bits and bobs, as far as i can tell nothing has happened in the game, and it still runs ok, so did i miss something, is this mod only compatable with us versions of x2 ? or am i a total dim wit and ive installed it wrong, any help would be good, i hope i can get it working because it looks good :)

Refering to my previous post, upon further inspection it seems there is a file missing from the mod, the file thats missing is - 447601.xml which has to be copied to the "t" folder, that is the problem, at least i think it is, ive downloaded the mod file again to see if i deleted it by mistake, but its not in that one either :?

if files are really missing from the download .. you're best bet would be to PM the author ..

anyway .. that file may come in a 't' folder in the download ..
and it doesnt have to be there at all .. it could also be in the mod ..

that file is a text file .. its adds names to objects and holds messages and such ..
if that file is the thing missing/problem .. you could know cause the game should run .. however you would have ships/wares/commands with names like 'read-text #####' ..


I know this is a mod ..
so have you placed the .cat and .dat file (the actual mod) in the 'mods' folder .. and have you selected the option 'select mod-package' and selected the mod at the start screen ..??

also make sure to place any not numbered .xml and .pck files in the script-folder
(the numbered ones in the 't' folder)

Ive checked and double checked to make sure all the folders are where they need to be, ive tried running the game with the mod, the first time it crashed straight to the desk top, the second time it let me load one of my saves and then crashed to the desktop, so i dont know whats wrong, apart from the missing file, ill see if i can get hold of it to see if it makes a difference, stops the crashing.
thanks for your help. :)
