MK3 but no universe trade opt.???

nickl · Post by **nickl** » Sat, 5. Nov 05, 21:05

I have downloaded and installed the 1.4 patch and I have bought the MK3 software but I don't have this universe trader option I keep hearing about, I only have a sector trader option......

Also I can't tell what level my pilot is.

Things to see :

-Did you get the script bonus pack ?

-If you did, did you equip the TS with a 25MW shield and a Fight Software MK2 ?

-If you did not acquire the script bonus pack, it is normal because the patch 1.4 only has an older version of the Trade MK3, which did not allow Universe trading.

Yes I have a boron dolphin equiped w/ 3 25mw shields fight command software MK 1 and 2 and I have installed the script bonus pack.

I only have option #5 sector trader.

is it because my pillot is not at a high enough lvl? and if so how do I tell what level he is? I have seen this question asked many times but no conclusive answer. BTW thanks for responding.

Also, I remember reading somewhere about hiring a pilot for my trader, is this something I have to do or is it handled automaticly?

It's handled automatically.

This is strange ...

Does the Universe trader appear in "grey" in the list ?

If it does, then it's ok, you have to wait your pilot gets to level 8.

To see your pilot's level, you have to look at his name, you will have something like blablabla(5) if he's level 5.

I don't even have universe trader in grey its just not there.

Where am I going to find my pilots name at?

I'm in my Nova and I hit 'R' and I highlight my Dolphin then I hit 'ENTER'
and I see the ship information, and at the top it says pilot and it 's my name
not some obscure pilot from the X universe like I would expect.

Something's wrong ...

I might be saying something wrong but it looks like you are using the basic MK3 trade which was included in patch 1.4 ...

Instead of your name, you should see a custom name for your TS

Did you install any other scripts than the bonus pack ?

Are you sure the bonus pack is correctly installed ? (do the other scripts work?)

To make sure your bonus pack is well-installed, do so :

-unpack the bonus pack in another directory
-you should have some directories, particularly "t" and "scripts", copy/paste thiose two directories in the X2 main directory

SOLVED!!

I'm glad that you sugessted that because as I was creating a folder to dump the scripts into I noticed that it defaulted to an EGOSOFT directory when my x2 instalation directory is actually named ENLIGHT, strangely enough!!

Anyhow thanks so much for the help, now that I've had a chance to check out
these awsome scripts I can see I would have really been missing out.
