I assume you mean the ATF Shipyard portion?

You have to extract the Tfactories.pck from the CAT file supplied from the Plugin Manager file, which can get tricky.

1) Use Cycrow's Package Explorer -> Open ATF Shipyard for [X3TC / X3AP] -> Extract CAT/DAT pair to a working directory

2) Use X3 Editor 2 -> Open extracted CAT/DAT pair -> Look in [addon] \ [types] for Tfactories.pck -> Extract pck to txt to whatever working directory you want.

Hope that helps!

I tried that. I extracted the cat/dat but when I try to look at it in x3 editor 2 it's all blank. Like completely blank even when I look for all file types. No such problem looking at CC's cat/dat file.

Anyway, DrBullwinkle over at the CC thread told me to edit Tfactories from the VFS in X3editor2 after installing this mod, which supposedly will find the version of the file that this mod has added to the game (the one the game will ultimately load)

Just remember that VFS will only look at the last CAT/DAT pair, which depending on what MOD is applied last, might not be the correct Tfactories.pck you are looking for!

The Plugin Manager has been notorious for getting MOD prioritizes out of order, so just be mindful of that.

DrBullwinkle · Post by **DrBullwinkle** » Thu, 23. Jan 14, 22:24

Actually, VFS will find the correct file that will be used by the game, regardless of whether it is in a .cat or a loose file in a folder.

The only thing to be aware of with the Plugin Manager is that it creates its merged files when the PM is closed. So, you could get the wrong file if you try to use VFS while the Plugin Manger is *open*. Otherwise, if you close the PM before opening X3Editor, then VFS will *always* find the correct file.

In my current game im getting the following in my ranking window.

Corporation readtext 900-902

I'm "assuming" it's connected to Operation Logi
- I noticed on the mission to scan the freighter for a specific ware that the Freighter name showed as a readtext error also...cant recall the specific ID atm.

Using AP/XRM

Help?

It's a simple text conflict between either X3AP 3.0 and XRM or one of the TRP text files. I'm fairly confident that I've released text updates to bring 'A Gate Too Far' and 'Stealing Logi' in line with X3AP 3.0.

Chances are XRM is overwriting the entries, but its nothing I would really worry about.

okies thanks, I just didnt know if it was going to be a huge issue later on.

So, I finally got through Gate to Far...and started your version of Loose Ends.... and so far it seems the same as vanilla version, I understand we won't be doing the hub mission, but are we going for the UFJD again? as we got it in gate to far....

eldyran · Post by **eldyran** » Sat, 5. Apr 14, 21:32

I don't believe so.

Well first, i'm sorry if this has already been said but i didn't read the 40 pages below this one.

Second, sorry if my english is a bit weird, not my main language.

That been said, i have a problem with the final rewad of Stealing Logi plot. They say that i have to dock in a shipyard in Megnir but when i jump there, the game hangs before opening the sector (jump animation, then nothing... and nothing..).

Does this rings any bells?.. i have:
- XRM installed with Hull, docking and cockpit patches
- Immersive environments, IEX, XRMi
- Immersive HUD

And the spk:
- Cheat collection package
- Marine repairs
- NPC bailing addon
- Salvage Claim software
- TRP A Gate too far
- TRP Operation Loose ends
- TRP Stealing Logi

And the bonus pack for AP

Sounds to me like a MOD conflict with Immersive Environments, but its my only guess. That part of Stealing Logi changes the name, music, and layout for Segaris.

Post by **Sparky Sparkycorp** » Mon, 7. Apr 14, 10:49

A long-shot occurred to me. With AP:XRM, there is the possibility to do both Hub plots due to a glitch and at least one of the Plots connects the Hub to Segaris.

Any chance that this possibility is related? Have any of the gate connections changed in your game?

Eriodas · Post by **Eriodas** » Tue, 8. Apr 14, 01:39

Haven't done that plot in this game. I played the ATF Veteran start to be neutral to everyone (and have a thor at the begining xD). But its kind of game breaking since i can't uninstall XRM without losing the save, and i don't know if IE will have the same effect when uninstalled.

Post by **Sparky Sparkycorp** » Tue, 8. Apr 14, 10:29

OK, if you've not already, perhaps you could retry mapping the system with an OOS ship to see if there are any odd or missing objects in the system. If there are, perhaps there are cheat tools to try fixing them.

eldyran · Post by **eldyran** » Tue, 8. Apr 14, 11:01

Agreed. Try using an OOS scout to see if there is anything unusual in that sector. You could try waiting an in game hour before attempting to jump into Megnir. Go do missions up near Pluto or Jupiter for a while. If after that time the system still hangs when entering that sector, the only thing I can think of is to take an XML editor and comment out the <alter_sector> actions in one of the last cues for that plot.

May be a dumb question, but the cat/dat provided with the ATF shipyard package are empty. Not sure if I miss something there, but is that intended? ^^

eldyran · Post by **eldyran** » Tue, 15. Apr 14, 16:41

Downloaded both X3AP and X3TC versions from links, extracted with SPK explorer, opened CATs with X3-Editor 2. All files intact, looks fine to me.

Kontaro · Post by **Kontaro** » Wed, 16. Apr 14, 06:07

Something weird happened to me, after I got the Xperimental shuttle, I was told to go to boron space, to start the hub quest from vanilla? pretty sure i was using yer version of operation loose ends....

Hello

Is the ATF Shipyard mod compatible with existing saves?

I'm using TC v3.2c, and my only other mod is the official bonus package.

I installed the ATF Shipyard mod and loaded up my current save (game day 3) Within a minute or so I received three messages telling me new items were added to certain shipyards. My scouts confirmed it.

I'm just curious because I know that some mods require new starts, so even though it appears to be working in my existing game, there could be issues I'm unaware of.

Thanks.

ATF Shipyard for X3TC has always been save game compatible.

ATF Shipyard for X3AP didnt used to be until Egosoft fixed an issue when loading the ware template. Since that was fixed in X3AP 3.0, it is now save game compatible.
