Installation using the script editor
The X³ Script Editor has to be activated for this extension. To activate the script editor follow the following steps:
- enter the menu to change your pilot's name
- type Thereshallbewings (note the capital T) and press enter
- the menu will close, your player name will NOT have been changed, and a confirmation beep will sound on correct activation
- you will now find the "Script Editor" menu item in the command console
- Save your game now and leave X³
Installation without activating the script editor
In the case that the script editor is active, several ingame menus are showing additional information about scripts and the script engine. Since this may disturb a player you may use another method to use unsigned scripts without the use of the script editor. You have to modify the scripts for that. It does not prevent your game from becoming modified.
Open the file "setup.plugin.defmissile.xml" with any text editor. Notepad, which is a included in MS Windows®, can be used without problems. You must not use MS Word® or MS WordPad® because the file is encoded in UTF 8 which is not supported by these programs. Notepad will not cause any problems with this encoding.
You have to change the following lines in the script file, but the only change is the insertion of an exclamation mark. After applying the changes, save the file.
Change:
<name>setup.plugin.defmissile</name>
to
<name>!setup.plugin.defmissile</name>
Also change:
<codearray>
<sval type="array" size="10"><sval type="string" val="setup.plugin.defmissile" …
to
<codearray>
<sval type="array" size="10"><sval type="string" val="!setup.plugin.defmissile" …
Save the file now and quit notepad. You have to rename the file now by inserting an exclamation mark at the beginning.
E.g. change:
C:\Games\X3 - Reunion/scripts/setup.plugin.defmissile.xml
to
C:\Games\X3 - Reunion/scripts/!setup.plugin.defmissile.xml
Of course it would be possible to offer the alternative script as a downloadable file, but this way you get the chance to modify other scripts as well.
