Deactivating scripts?

Post by Poobah »

Hello all, hope someone still looks at this forum :)

I've been on an X2 break but I've played X2 alot in the past, however I don't really know that much about mods, so some help in this area would be nice.

I was just contemplating how to do "something different" to add more fun to the game when I came accross this rather interesting sounding mod I was alittle puzzled though when I read this :
*Warning*
- Read the Readmes involving the included scripts prior to play for understanding of their functions.

- Do not attempt to use any of the Egosoft bonus add-on scripts without reviewing what they do.

- DO NOT EVER install the gunnery crews and Aegis bonus scripts. Those were designed specifictly for default X2, Terradine's major changes WILL result in problems in this area.
Does this mean I need a fresh install of X2 (plus the 1.4 patch but nothing else) to run this mod :o that seems alittle.. inconvenient :(

X2 doesn't have a nice Morrowind loader screen where you can just turn these things off.. atleast if it does I don't know about it, I'm pretty sure I've got all the official plugins or whatever the term for them is in X2 plus a number of other useful things who's names have slipped my mind since I stopped playing. Is there anything I can do about this to still be able to play the mod without blanket use of the delete button or a full uninstall (I'd rather like to keep a hold of all those mods/scripts/plugins - whatever they're called I obviously spent some time collecting them and so fourth, even if I can't remember what most of them do or even howmany of them there are...)

Thanking you all in advance,

i thought about using this to. untill i saw the possible conflicts! so i didnt bother

i would imagine though if you still want to go ahead. then you will need to run the bonus pack again in order to remove the scripts it contains. as for your other plugins. they will have ot be removed manualy using their unistall scripts if they have one. or failing that, a fresh X2 install

That's abit of a pain...

I think therefore that I'll go back to my standard "attempt to reach Ace of Aces 1st grade and or Tycoon from scratch" MO then (without cheating ofc ;-))

thanks anyways!
