X3TC old save - ReadText900-901 (and others in the 900s)
I saw a solve for this involving Albion, but not for TC, and I can't find where the edit is to redirect the readtext targets to correct my Corporation reputations. Can someone guide me through this? I believe this is the only damaged location that needs repair and very, very much do not want to start a new save

This is almost certainly due to some mod and you should be asking in that mod's thread in the S&M forum.

No, no it's not. I didn't have any mods. This save is very old, however, and has made the transition from patched disk version to Steam version.

OK. What game version is the save? Have you patched it to latest version using the patches?
(Latest patched version and Steam version should be the same.)

The oldest save I can find is 2011 and it claims 3.1. I'm not entirely certain the latest version the save ran on was 3.4 which is the Steam version. I deleted my local files when I rebought the X series on Steam so I do not have a firm reference point.
That thread was the one I indicated, but it is for Albion, not TC, and the referenced files do not seem to exist. I'm not a modder and spent hours piecing together what was meant in that thread already, so my grasp is extremely tenuous, but I do have a familiarity with markup as well as/including XML, so I am confident I can effect changes if I can find where to do it.

My point is that with a vanilla game you shouldn't have to do anything. Have you verified your Steam game installation?

I'm aware I shouldn't have to do anything. That's why I'm in the tech support. But it seems like I do have to do something to fix this manually, and I don't mind, I just want to do it and get on with the game I haven't touched in probably six or seven years.
Just verified (again) now. Still displaying READTEXT900- for around half my corporation rankings. Where is the corporation ranking trigger file so I can just fix this myself?

Re: X3TC old save - ReadText900-901 (and others in the 900s)
Ok, I am understanding now. What you needed is update 3.1.1 - I don't know quite how you can apply that update to a save retrospectively. I'll have to ask a dev (on Monday).
3.1.1 - June 2011
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features and Improvements:
- Added support files for a Steam DLC
- For non-Steam players, this update maintains compatibility with saved games from Steam

Thank you so much! That would make sense. Which file in /t/ is the one that has the corp rankings in it though incase that doesn't work?

The lines are in 0001-L044.xml, page id 900. But if that file doesn't contain them then your installation of the game isn't correct. Are you absolutely sure that you don't have any mods or addons installed?
One other thing: if you're looking at your log data rather than the rankings menu itself, then you may be seeing leftovers from a previous incorrect installation. The text in the log doesn't get updated after the event, and any errors you see there may well not be corrected even if the game installation is now correct.

You should have 0010-L044.pck in there which will have to be unpacked.
Did you load the English text and voice version of the game from Steam?

ahh 0010-L044 yes I do. Yes, English text and voice works otherwise for everything I could find to experiment with.
Line 900?

No, pageid 900.
I occurs to me that one simpler thing that you could try is to manually rename the 0010-L044.pck to something else as a backup and then verify the game to let Steam download it again (hopefully correctly).

0010-L044.xml is the text file of the Bonus package.
The main textfile (0001-L044.xml for English), however, is located in the catalog files (.cat/.dat) in the game folder, whereby the newest files are in the highest numbered catalog. In latest X3TC this is number 13. You will need a tool like the Egosoft Catalog Tool (should be available from the Steam Client under "X Tools") or a third party tool like doubleshadows X3 Editor 2 from the Scripts and Modding forum to extract the textfile from the catalog.
The first number of a readtext error points to the text page and the second to the text id. Since that specific page was first added with X3TC, you will find it under page 350900 instead.

Re: X3TC old save - ReadText900-901 (and others in the 900s)
Thank you I am browsing 0001-L044 right now. I found page 350900 but I am really not sure what to do. I don't know how these calls interact. I don't see any t id="900" in page 350900 or anything even close inside this document that looks like it would intuitively correspond.

I know I had the bonus pack manually installed on my disk copy and played using it, since Steam's handling of DLC is shaky and uncoordinated at best, is it possible the problem lies with me not having the bonuspack installed correctly to match the savefile's expectations?

Yea I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I found the rank listings in 13.cat, page 350900, but I have no idea what to do next. And the thread at viewtopic.php?t=418486 is just many many levels above my head and also the wrong game to use as a guideline.

I deleted 13.cat and 13.dat and I'm making Steam restore them. I'm at wits end. This is just too dense for me.

No dice. I can't do this. I have no idea what's wrong and even with the specific help, 3/4 of all of this is just over my head.
