It will be offered at a station.How do you take the mission, on stations like the others (patrols, station defence)?
Money based on the size of the enemy force.and hwats the reward?
The code that detects Xenon is supposed to notice expansion into adjacent sectors and add them to the list. However, I only verified it with a simple test case, so maybe it's not enough.djrygar wrote: - Changed briefing background image to something more suitable
- added a timer, so main cue will restart after 2-3 hours, and scanning of universe procedure is launched again. Thanks to that, when using Improved Races, sectors that have been taken by Xenon are taken into account. This results in more variety. Your scrupt was giving me missions only in Getsu Fune and Scale Plate Green. After changes it shows invasions in other sectors as well
If you have any suggestions for changes to the Xenon mission, please send them to me so I can consider incorporating them; that way there's not nearly duplicate versions around.- I made separate copy of it and changed it to detect Khaak. It's basicaly the same thing, just different race.
I am not publishing it, as I feel it should be done with your permission, so I will wait for it.
If you agree, I'd like to make some other changes and use your code, and make some variations. My aim is to completly remove stock generic missions, and use game-state based. I've got plenty of ideas, and also would like to use parts of your code as base.
(thanks for good commentary inside, it was really encouraging for a MD rookie)
What you think - maybe it would be good to offer combat missions (most of them) only in military bases? I feel that it's bit silly to get patrol missions from ore mine.

Mysterial, I have played a lot with this mission. I decided to learn MD a bit, so I looked onto your file and tweaked it a little.

It will also trigger off the groups that sometimes fly from one Xenon sector to another and should trigger off Xenon invasions triggered by other scripts/mods as well (like "Improved Races")
Download Link (FileFront)
Installation:
Extract the archive to your base X3:TC directory with folder information enabled. Or copy the files to the matching directories in your X3:TC installation directly.
Resources used:
-Text file 1172
-Text page 7171 (shared by all my stuff)
unpack with modmanager (it also will install 'extract' option in Windows context menu for pck files so thats another option), Mysterial's code it nice to learn from, much better for beginner than stock missions. TO code use Dreamveawer, Eclipse or Visual Studio - all will give you code hintsMalakie wrote: Came across your MD script and since I am just starting to get into learning how to use the MD thought your script would be a great way to see the inside workings... however the files are in pck format?! What is that, how does it get created and can I 'change' them or open them for editting somehow??
Gotta check how to uninstall this...
Now gone. :-(NeverSnake wrote:I've re-uploaded it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?gaqqui7rqb58gcu
