Hello,

Can someone tell me where I can find all the files in the cat/dats for the navbeacon please?

full path would be great, for the macro and the object itself.

thanks

How to search:

• Open the libraries\wares.xml from 08.cat/dat
• Search for navbeacon
• Found the ware id="waypointmarker_01" with tag navbeacon
• Checking the component ref = env_deco_nav_beacon_t1_macro
• Search inside *.cat for env_deco_nav_beacon_t1_macro
• In version 9 it will be only 01.cat/dat - everything is simple
• In version 8 it will be 01, 05, 07.cat/dat - in this case you need to extract with overwriting from 01, then 05, then 07

For command line it will look like:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X Tools\XRCatTool.exe" -in "C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\X4 Foundations\01.cat"  -out .  -include assets/environments/deco/

Thank you very much. I was using the x tools gui, didn't know about the command line option.

I was finally able to create my mod. A Traveling Teladi beacon.
