Correct. Whereby you shouldn't change files within existing cat/dat pairs, but rather create an own cat/dat pair where you put your changed files. (The number of that cat/dat pair should be one greater than that of the highest cat/dat pair.) That way you can easily roll back changes you made without having to reinstall the game and you have all your modified files in one place.
Alternatively you can put the modified files within their folder structures into the game folder directly. For example a modified "Tships.txt" can be put into a folder called "types" within the X3TC gamefolder, so that Tships file would overwrite all other Tships files.
To save the hassle of finding the newest files, i.e. the ones you want to modify, you should use the virtual file system (VFS) option of the X3 Editor 2.

Where can I find a description of a job file entry?
The description there isn't entirely correct: http://www.argonopedia.org/wiki/Jobs.txt_%28X3%29
It seems it was made for X3:R (hence the missing M7 and TM ship classes). X3:AP's entries have 130 values per line, the wiki site describes only 119.

... i would take a look into the X3Editor2 jobs-editor source, you can download it here
... i know that there are also some new (undescribed) entries for X3AP

There's no Script Editor command to access messages within the Logbook. The only thing you can do is writing messages to it.
If you use my Custom Logbook script, you can at least export your own messages to a text file.

silly me i just found a thread about mod library
Hello! Ran into several conflicting answers while googling my problem and decided to ask directly. I'm getting into modding X3TC/AP for the second time, and this time it didn't go well.
This time I wanted Universe to be a really alive place. Boron shooting Split; Terran shooting Argon; Teladi trying to cap and sell excess ships from fights, while being attacked by Pirates; Xenon and Khaak jumping on top of sectors, and Yaki terrorising trade routes all over the Universe.
May somebody write your own favourite set of mods that will allow X3TC or AP to do what I just wrote? I know that everyone should try and find what works for them. The reason I'm asking it here is I downloaded some mods, installed them correctly, launched the game and successfully done a patrol mission. But, soon after launching the game, FPS on SETA has gone down to 20 FPS, then 15, and soon it was seconds per frame. I know my PC can handle it, I ran 10x SETA in war sectors in AP and it was 60fps all along.
That is why I suspect a problem with some of my mods, and while I will try to find it by trying them one by one, can somebody help me with at least finding most suited mods? Also, I like the plots and I haven't gone through all of them, but I wonder if I should mod X3AP instead?
Thanks!

Nobody answered me, but I found the problem and solved it, so I will answer to me myself.
Mod problem was tied to fake patches, for some reason any mod that came with a fake patch ruined the game - either by CTD or by slowing it to seconds per frame.
And I also deleted RRF in favour of Improved Races. It works well, but pirates get obliterated very fast, so you will want to install something for them, too.

That sounds a lot like either a conflict between different mods or a failed/damaged download. The installation method alone shouldn't have an impact on the game performance / stability.roundowl wrote:Mod problem was tied to fake patches, for some reason any mod that came with a fake patch ruined the game - either by CTD or by slowing it to seconds per frame.
If you're looking for mod suggestions, then I would suggest having a look at the following thread: Which Mod/Script Should I Download?

Thanks for the reply and the link, I was looking at that thread a couple of times, but even after that I still had a question "which of those mods do I download". I found the thread called "[Discussion/FAQ] What are the recommended scripts&mods? Ask here." and that helped me to get going, because it had three completed sets of mods and I just compiled mine from them.
