X4: Foundations 7.50 BETA's files

Post by sdawers2 »

Dear players and developers, we are currently working on a modification for X4: Foundations related to the disguise system.
In the beta versions of patch 7.50, the disguise was implemented in such a way that when attacking enemy ships, the disguise was maintained, and when attacking allied ships, it was disabled.

For further development of modifications, I need a cover md from the beta versions of X4: Foundations 7.50 (before the release of the hyperion package)

Please share it 08.cat and 08.dat or cover.xml to create a patch for the updated game based on it.

Dear developers, could you give us the opportunity to download this beta version from the STEAM store?

I strongly suspect that earlier interim beta versions have been overwritten by changes made during beta before version release, including on the dev system. You can go back to some legacy release versions in the Steam X4 beta channel though, including the 7.50 release version.

In case not clear, the Hyperion package was a separate optional DLC and not part of the 7.50 base game.

Before the release of the Hyperion Pack on February 20, in December and January, various beta versions were tested, which were updated soon and it is not possible to download these versions using STEAM.
The STEAM store only issues the 7.50 (Legacy) version. In it, the developers have gone over the disguise system again.
The authors of the modifications have their own vision for the game, Egosoft developers usually encourage modifications of their game and more than 80% of players play the modified version, not the standard one.
During testing of the modification developed for 7.50 BETA, we found that the modification no longer works as intended, and the game has already been updated without the possibility of rollback, so that we can create an XML patch with the processing of some lines for md cover.xml located in 08.cat .
Since we are not game developers, not brilliant coders, we cannot even approximately recreate the cover system that was in the BETA versions of patch 7.50, the only way out for us in the current situation is to ask for help from the community.
