Thank you very much for update

[Hwitvlf]

Yes, much thanks for continued effort in making the excellent product better. I wish the gaming market held more reward for developers putting out quality products like this, rather than the masses of unpolished, incomplete games that seem to flood the market these days.

A suggestion: A common goal is to have a mostly self-sustained mega-factory which produces every product available. Accomplishing this is difficult because of the hardware strain of having so many factories in a single sector. The stations required balloon because of the cascade effect of food/bio/energy/crystals. Adding one XXL PAC factory often requires 1 Solar, 2 Crystal, 3 Food, 3 Bio, of the same size. That's 9 support factories for 1 product, not including alloy and ore.

My suggestion is to make XXXL upgrades for food, bio and crystals. This would theoretically reduce the number of station models in a mega-factory by around one half without changing the game balance at all. Players could achieve the same effect by leaving end-product factories at XL, but it feels weird to be needlessly limited due to computer hardware.

Just a thought

The idea is good @ Hwitvlf, I don't think modders will be able to make it happen anymore. I'm really glad that there are still people like cycrow and other X3 veterans who put so much work into the game. I've been building my empire in Farnham for a good 560 hours now, I now have 4 mega complexes with 25 to 40 factories each in sectors and currently no performance problems, and by the way, despite the game's age, the graphics, music, etc. are still great, especially in Farnham with the variety of new ships, brilliant story, etc. I'll definitely be having fun with X3 Farnham for many hundreds of hours to come , I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Development now available on GitHub

Cycrow is this beneficial if not playing X3FL?

I have the GOG X3 Terran War Pack - https://www.gog.com/en/game/x3_terran_war_pack
Which includes TC, AP and FL .exes'.

So I do not like FL for various reasons, and just run the X3AP.exe.

So would installing this mod be beneficial in any way for AP?

[Cycrow]

No it only effects FL.

A better approach might be to simply play FL and mod the bits you dont like compared to AP

[alt3rn1ty]

Thank you (I should have realised, it installs to addon2 folder).

I'm now trying this approach, used the globals.txt edit to disable dynamic rep viewtopic.php?p=5093995#p5093995.
Installed Unofficial patch
Installed some of the latest Lucike scripts updated for FL viewtopic.php?f=202&t=438672
Installed Smart turrets AP which is still fine for FL viewtopic.php?t=304686&sid=5f07ffdc4b90 ... 0c99560c37
Installed your TC/AP Plots for FL viewtopic.php?t=453938
(Installed in that order, manually).

I was sceptical I could get everything I wanted in the game, until I saw your TC/AP Plots mod, and especially that it includes the Tormented Teladi start. The only other thing I wanted to change is really just cosmetic, but for some reason it nags at me, thats the FL Universe map and a lot of the sectors being in a checkerboard pattern instead of pseudo 3d placement. I think I will just have to get used to it, as there is a lot of content to be enjoyed in FL.

Anyway thank you for your amazing continued modding support

Thanks Cycrow for continued work on improving X3FL!

Few questions from me :
Can TP ships get their own section in player property menu? At the moment they share it with drones and that can become frustrating at times ?

Is there a way for PHQ to check if ware entry is even valid and deny writing an entry without ID ?
I was reengineering some Xenon fighter's (took ownership of them with Cheat script before that) and one of them gave me blank ware entry and nothing helps so far in getting rid of it

I am playing with Unoffical Patch + Guilds, but somehow feels that it is patch related.

Is this normal UT behaviour when player is IS ?
Never have seen this behaviour OOS, but time from time I see this from my UT when I am in IS.
No one is threatening them and by command info on fighter's they attack the owner. Are they getting rid of extra fighters and supply of around 50 of them is too much for them?

Thank you Cycrow and all-all developer for an incredible addition (and patches) to your beloved and adore X³ Series. I am very pleased that we managed to find out what the universe lived X between Albion Prelude and Rebirth/Foundations. I am incredibly delighted by the updating of the descriptions of some systems, such as Lucky Planets, Ore Belt and more.
Is it possible that if patches come out in the future, work in the field of updating system descriptions will continue? A lot of systems are no longer quite “politically” a relevant description. For example, Shore of Infinity, hardly in the conditions of the actual confrontation Paranides would rent this system for Borons. Probably, the Boron's Kingdom turned out to be final control over this system. Similarly, change the description would be great at Family Whi, Bluish Snout, Rolk's Fate, Hila's Joy and Rhonkar's Trial since the war of Split and the Boron has already begun. Given the development of pirate systems also get a more fresh description (Loomanckstrat's Legacy, Lost Order, Hatikvah's Faith). Very lacking and fresh descriptions of the expanded sectors such as Great Reef, Cardinal's Domain, PTNI Headquarters, Trinity Sanctum, Farnham's Legend and Grand Exchange. Maybe it would be possible to prescribe the occupation of the planet Hewa Paranid's Fleet in The Hole system described by the Helge Kautz? That would perfectly fit into the setting of the conflict of Argon and Paranids, leave the system controlled by Argon. And there it would be possible to mention that the Hatikvah's League goes in search of a new home. These are small pleasant little things that, however, would make this game even cooler. And it would be possible to refresh the descriptions in some systems where the theater of operations was located (Treasure Chest, Circle of Labor)... So many ideas for new descriptions...
And about one of the interesting observations/problems on this topic that I encountered. Perhaps these are problems of Russian translation , but digging in the files I found that such systems as Akeela's Beacon, Nathan's Voyage and Tears of Greed received new descriptions, however, the game displays descriptions from old X³ games and mentions of occupation Akeela's Beacon by OTAS or turning the gate in Enduring Light absent in game proccess in "alpha" sector. Will these descriptions be common to "alpha" sector? Or this situation is only in Russian version?
All these are minor wishes that would become insignificant, but pleasant decoration of this magnificent continuation of the adored X³. I send you and all developers sincere gratitude and respect for your incredible work!

Is it just my luck, or is there a reason a lot of stations getting removed during the first day? Never had THAT much removed before.

Playing with unofficial patch, v1.3.19, Farnham's Legacy plot start, before claiming HUB. No other mods active.

I'm getting a lot of messages (20+) of stations being removed, solar plants and mines in particular. The last message was regarding XL SPP in Heretic's End.

Update:
So the order of removal is roughly - IREs, 1mj shields, heavy torpedoes+mass drivers, some weapon+shield production complexes, occasional food plant, ore and silicon mines, solar plants. Something is definitely wrong with the universe economy. Is such behaviour intended - whole production chains being removed?

[Deniskos]

In the ship browser, in the plugin.shipbrowser.columise script, when calculating ‘sparecargo’, it is necessary to check for negative numbers.

Code: Select all

do if $Value < 0
   $Value = 0

That empty space with a negative number doesn't look very nice. I think it would be better to have 0.

[fireanddream]

A tour of a lifetime mission wouldn't finish.

I took this mission from a split guy in black hole sun. After finishing all the steps and come back to that same station, the mission wouldn't register as finished and objective is still dock at that station .

Looking at your post you linked with the full globals.txt content.. does that work for the unofficial patch? Or is it a different version? Unfortunately I have a "unique" Mac version so am unable to find any way to extract it!

Is it safe to update Unofficial Patch version with current Guilds 0.87 ?

Receiving 20 conflicts with plugin manager.

[Cycrow]

Generally it should be fine, but the new version wont be rexognised as a dependecy as the package name change, hence the warnings. A new version of Guilds will be coming soon though

[Wing2137]

New Update: 1.3.20

if you have a version 1.3.19 or earlier installed, uninstalled it first before installing the latest version.

Does this only apply to the SPK version? Or do I need to manually delete any or all files associated with the ZIP install as well? I'm currently on 1.3.19.

[alexalsp]

It probably doesn't matter which package you use.
