[Mod] XR Ship Pack - 6.0 ready!

[Max Bain]

Waiting for Olmekron and Fulmekron. They will be beasts.

Just uploaded 0.9.7.
It is more a bugfix and improve version. Main goal for now is to polish/balance the mod before I add new ships.

[LucianDragos]

Can't wait to try 0.9.7 out when I get home but as far as the Nexus I can't seem to find a mod with the Stormvok... Do you remember where you saw it?


Edit: The Balor looks great but two small details.. One big one is now the cockpit view is to far back to the antenna masts poke though the windows and one smaller issue is the rims of the side drone docking bays have the same problem as the Excalibur's body did (disappearing on any zoom out)

Edit2: ok playing around with the XML's Moving the tower back some from a "Z" of -188 to -210 still looks good and doesn't interfere with the cockpit's placement since idk if moving the cockpit itself has nav mesh issues for NPC's

The first problem with the side docks disappearing when zoomed out is a vanilla problem that happens with all ship details. I have changed my renderparameters.xml in library to increase the sight distances for details and ships so I dont have these problems anymore.

Have you moved just the bridge model or the "view location" of the player when he is inside the bridge?

I moved the model because I wasn't sure if the AI waypoints\Nav mesh would cause problems moving the view point

And can you post the changes you made to the render xml? and is this the file you meant? "renderparam_library.xml"

Thank you. These are all more like warnings and should not effect the game in any way.

The first two warnings will be fixed in the next version, but I dont know how I can remove the warnings after that about the missing collision meshes. All the listed parts of the units_size_l_combat_a ship have the nocollision tag, so I dont know why this warning still appears.

I have added the startactive=false tag to the jobs, even if I dont know what it means. But the escorts in the vanilla job do have the same tag, so it should be ok.

For more detailed error logging, start the game with the parameters.

Code: Select all

-skipintro -logfile debuglog.txt 

In this case, you can, before the release of the mod, check it for errors.

I have this enabled already, but I normally play with other mods as well and they produce a lot of errors as well. So sometimes I miss some errors and some errors I know but I dont know how to fix and they are harmless (like missing collision mesh).

just start a new game with one mod and check)). And it will not be necessary to leaf through kilometers of lines.

In theory that is a good way, but some mods have dependancies and then it results in several restarts before you can test it and have all mods reactivated again. Sometimes I do this but often I am too lazy becauseI I also test the things out in game and when there are no bugs I am happy with it.
Also I have you .

Just rename the Extention folder to Extention 1, and create a new Extention folder))). And you don’t need to Off anything

Ah and then I have another folder I name Extension and put only XR Ship Pack inside? Thats a nice hack if it works!

Not sure this will work for steam mods. I guess steam will download them again before it launches the game. But for manully copied mods it will work.

Just uploaded 0.9.9.

I might take a break from modding because I finally want to start playing X4. So dont expect any big new versions in the next days. I think the mod is already in a very stable and balanced state. Have fun and enjoy

Disable Steam during the test in the game settings.
