No, it would only matter if you tried to install two mods that mess with gates

Cant' figure out how to install this.
Only other mods installed are Mars and Bounce.
-Mars repair drones are already selected in my "select mod package" option.

Downloaded 1) Guild Portals XChange, Mini-Mod (first option on French site) and renamed the 2 files to the highest number dat+cat files in my root.
=NO change to portal size.....

Im a beginner at this so can someone tell me what to do

Ahh ye I think it works now actually.....hard to tell when the gates look so much alike XD

EDIT:
You dont see anything wrong with the way I installed it then?

all you have to do is fly to Teladi space and camp the gates until a Phoenix flies though. if it barely fits, X-change didn't install. if you could fly thee of 'em through side-by-side, it worked.

Is this compatible with other modes like the terran revitalization mod?

Cheers.

it should be as i don't think that the terran revitalization mod changes
the gate models
i think it just tells the game to use a different gate type

This is how the gates should be. Great Mod. Had a little trouble with the french site to download and install since i do not speak french but I just used Google translate and all was good. Oh and for anybody that try's this mod out, you will not see the gates change until you fly through one.

I find this to be an absolutely essential mod...

This frees up the flow of traffic so well, the vanilla gates should actually have been this size all along..

One thing I have found, has to do with the wonderful terran accel gates. In AP, in the albion sectors (I haven't been towards Terra yet, there is a war, you know..

), once you exit the gate (enter the sector) you experience a real slowdown (graphically, and game engine : eg, try speeding up and it takes longer for the input to go in), which disappears once you get so far from the gate, and all is normal again.

What I am wondering, is if there is a zone here (as part of the model) that Egosoft is using, where things like adjusting course for exit, take place. You know what I mean, like when you are on autopilot, and your ship changes course to exit the gate, and puts you above the traffic lane. And, if this zone needs to be adjusted to make it thinner, in scale to it's newly sized model? This way, you are only in that zone for the same amount of time, as you are in vanilla gates.

Could you take a look at that?

Ships entering and outgoing zone through the gates are defined into the game engine.
This zone may changes, if create new 3D gate ring model (not use vanilla gate model), because game engine somehow to calculate and add this entering and outgoing zone depending of the gate ring 3D model.

Oh, that kind of sucks, doesn't it?..

Well, regardless.. this is a fantastic little mod that improves so many things, I am just going to live with that little detail.

Once you get going in a game, you jump far more than use gates, and the terran gates get even less 'personal' usage.

Has anyone gotten this to work with AP? I don't see a change in gate sizes even after changing sectors, and I'm not sure if I suck at installing or if 3.0 broke this.

This mod worked for me only after i placed dat/cat in both X3 Albion Prelude/mods, and X3 Albion Prelude/addon/mods, im currently on 3.0 just letting anybody interested in this great mod to know that it actually works for later versions

Hey OPR, where is your mod. It is not at your first topic....

In the first post OPR wrote:Download and Instructions :
XChange Guild Portals from the XChange Guild forum (in french)

A click redirects you to an external forum post, where you find two download links (1 and 2, blue colored text) in the section 'Téléchargement et Installation'. The first one is for X3TC, the second one is a version which is compatible to the NHTC mod.

Hemmingfish · Post by **Hemmingfish** » Wed, 11. Apr 18, 06:50

I've mirrored this mod here because the two download links are 404ing now. I only have the rar version - extract and place the "objects" folder into your base X3 Terran Conflict folder.
