Amazing, thank you!

Let us know if we can help in some ways (spread the word, donate, etc)

“ Fixed hidden wares in asteroids “ bug fix, or are asteroids hiding wares sometimes?

“ Fixed hidden wares in asteroids “ bug fix, or are asteroids hiding wares sometimes?

its a fix to the script command that allows you to hide wares in asteroids. They were being spawned when hit rather than just when they were destroyed. It only effects scripts that use the command, the only asteroid that hides anything in the base game is from the plot (which is uneffected)

Thanks for the patch, just want to ask is there a way it becomes official one day? Or the Egosoft completely stopped support for X3FL? I have got about 60% of Steam achievement, so **modified** isn't for me right now, that's why I'm asking.

[Wanabe]

Thanks for continuing to improve / fix things up and releasing this as an unofficial patch/mod. X3FL is a really great sandbox experience already in 1.3 but just has a few little "niggles" here and there.

Despite the useful range of fixes I'll be another user opting to keep X3FL in a vanilla state due to chasing the achievements that do work

I do have a reproducible game freeze bug that I'd like to mention and is hopefully within the scope of your patch. I have discovered that creating a custom wing, adding a ship to it and then deleting the custom wing without first removing the ship will reliably cause the game to freeze and not recover. If the custom wing is empty when you delete it though the freeze will not occur.

I have a save file available to make it more straight forward to check if that's necessary, found here: https://mega.nz/file/xlZhSCwa#5Bq0rcQ_o ... 8btudUfOVw I renamed the file to ensure it doesn't accidentally overwrite something unintended. Simply delete the custom wing to enjoy a nice freeze/crash when loading that savefile.

Actually thinking of it that save file might show off a second unrelated bug. I'm not 100% certain if it's a bug mind you. My Bofu station in Void Theta and Mosquito station in Ore Belt both seem to have a weird issue. Both of them have one of their required resources showing as not being available at their current settings (jumps: "none"). Changing the buy range or prices doesn't find anything for those resources but looking manually nearby I can see stations that I am positive should fit the criteria of price and range. They've both been in that state for probably a couple of in game days worth of time so it doesn't seem to be a self-resolving issue, if it is genuinely a bug. If it's not a bug and you decided to look into it sorry for wasting your time.

Cheers and have a good one.

[Cycrow]

the wing bug will be fixed in the next version.

for the station display, this is actually based on the ship you used to open the menu (or the player ship if you went directly there). As you are in an M7, its showing none as an M7 cant dock at factories. If you were to goto the menu via another ship like a TS it should display correctly.

its only a display issue however, and wont effect the function of the station

This should be fixed in the next version too

[Wanabe]

Fantastic, thanks for looking into those issues. Especially solving that freeze issue. It didn't cause me much grief due to liberal use of saving but bugs like that certainly have the potential to be a setback for some.

That station display "bug" is interesting. I didn't consider the ship I was currently piloting as being a factor, I had assumed maybe it had something to do with blacklists or something else instead that I didn't understand lol. That makes so much sense now. It sounds like your change to that menu will likely reduce some potential for future confusion.

[DanKara]

Your work is greatly appreciated !!!

• Fixed Sneaky Achievement
• Fixed illegal Scans

... so there was something wrong with my personal nemesis afterall

• Fixed HephCorp jump beacon ship being captured
• Fixed Jump Beacon price

... Don't like the first but can accept the second



... and what about "Duked"?
Is getting pirate mercenary really the only intended way for the Dukes Bucaneers to actually start a boarding operation? May I suggest to either expand those to CW-marines (through agent/station-hacking) - or reduce the required stats to get bought (and later selected for the BUC-M7M) ? In my two games with more than 400h each I still haven't seen a single marine/merc onboard a BUC-M7M... but would say 400h is enough of a 'build up'?
or is it the 'Fixed freeze in collect marines job"?

This was actually a result of a bug fix in FL. The internal function used to search for the closest station was not correctly checking if the ship can dock, which was fixed in FL. It should now only use the race to check and not the actual player ship. The blacklist doesn't actually effect that, as its done at a higher level via scripts

The collect marines job is related to the dukes boarding but doesn't directly fix it. It should already pick CW marines using the cover state, i will have to investigate why its not fully working. One possible solution is to just buy any marine and artificially increase their stats, but i didn't want to resort to that if i can help it

[DanKara]

Interesting.
I only have the statement of the player Deathifier, who said the Buy-script exludes CW-marines (as I can't understand anything but one-liners).
Or... do the covert Dukes buy marines for the CW-factions?
Is it possible to set up a few different scenarios or 'solutions' to do some testing (by us players)?

[V-virus]

Ok i start a new game... I found indestructible stations right away

My bug viewtopic.php?f=199&t=447529 is not fixed

Here my script "Indestructible station finder" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wI5r6q ... sp=sharing
find indestructible stations and write in game messages

autostart's on start game or save load
or you can run setup.indestructible.finder.xml to start

You must run my script multiple times. random stations becoming indestructible NOT RIGHT AWAY and their number is increasing on long time.

As always your work is much appreciated, Cycrow!

Not that surprising considering it's not mentioned in the list of fixes, is it?

I have added the German and Russian files into the main package

Sorry, I made a mistake in changing the version number in {391910,10001} in 0002-L049.xml, too, resulting in a wrong file version warning when starting the game. Thanks to N8M4R3 for the heads-up.

Corrected file here:
