Scripts on MAC version of X2

[triggie]

is there a way to add scripts to the MAC version of X2? I looked in the scripts folder, but the extensions don't match any that I have downloaded. mine are .pck while the ones I downloaded are .xml... are the any specific MAC scripts?

Any script should work on a Mac; the only issue is installing them as many scripts come with a Windows installer. PCK script files are just compressed versions of XML files.

GREAT! is there a FAQ on how to install MAC scripts (ie what goes where and hot to convert or compress xml files so that they can be placed in the script folder)

You don't need to convert or compress the xml files (to the best of my knowledge), you just place them in the script folder and they should work.

NOTE: You probably need to enable the script editor for the functionality of those scripts to be activated. There is a guide to doing this in one of the stickies at the top of this (Script and Modding) forum.

place the xml files in the scripts directory. job done!

scripts are created in xml format. They can be compressed into .pck's but it's not necessary to do this to run them.

Scripts you download from here should work just fine. They're mostly available as zip files which should extract into the correct directories.

Hey I just saw this. I'm on a mac too and would love to get the bonus pack (1.04) scripts in a non .exe format. Can anyone help out?

Thanks.
