[TC] Explorer Command Software options not showing

TickMiester · Post by **TickMiester** » Sat, 30. Jun 12, 16:03

Hi all,

I've an Explorer Command Software and Mineral Scanner installed on my newly acquired advanced explorer ship from the main mission hoping to make my asteroid scanning business debut but the commands don't show up. I'm stuck with the simple Navigation commands and nothing else.

Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance

It should be in the navigation commands, I think.

I also think the command will only scan asteroids that you have already found or that the explorer discovers on its travels. Unless you have been in the sector and mapped some asteroids then there is nothing for it to do.

Thanks for the quick response.

I have checked under Navigation, only the default simple nav commands are there. Also, the other commands which the ECS is supposed to provide do not show up either

I'm not 100% sure but the ship might possibly need the Nav Command software as well for those extra Nav commands. I cannot check as I am not with my game PC.

I know that various patches since first release changed the Explore commands so what version do you have? If 3.2 from Steam then a verify gamefiles cache for X3TC could be in order.

I've tried removing all other software and added them back on. The autopilot menu changes for the others (special, navigation, fight). Only the explorer software fails to add options.

This is an unmodified game? Please consider using the Steam verify if applicable.

Ugh, I hope that isn't the issue.

I've had cycrow's cheats to enable infinite insurance. I've reinstalled, but when I load my game, script editor shows that it's still trying to load cheat setup and other custom scripts...

Anyway to fix this without starting over? haha

I think this one may be for the Scripts & Modding forum. It may be that some of your scripts are clashing. The best thing to do is go to the S&M forum to check the compatibility of the scripts with each other.

Reinstalled and bought the ECS, all functions work. Looks like a restart is inevitable T_T

Thanks for the helpful replies Alan Phipps and Coreblimey

Re-installing won't delete any additional stuff you've added - simplest is to uninstall and delete the game folder.

Quite a few scripts/mods do need to be re-installed for savegames to work, but I don't think the cheat scripts do (the appropriate thread in the Scripts forum would be the best place to ask).

@ OP, if all install right and are within 10 km from the target press "t" to lock on the target in this case an asteroid and press "i" for the option to scan, should be visible at your left mission bar then hit "enter" (playership). Owned ship can scan faster OOS without the playership in the sector.
