UFO base?

Post by Tudders » Thu, 27. May 04, 15:11

Having read http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48382 i decided to check it and stumbled upon the UFO base that everyone seems to think doesn't exist:

At this point i would like to upload the screenshots but don't know how to. :(

The only thing is, i've just started to use the MWM and this could be the reason why its there. Has anyone else found it using this mod?

(I'm prepared to get my Oddysseus out to repel these about to flame me :) )

Well maybe if someone constructive told me how to upload screenshots others could check it out themselves.

It's obviously in the code as others have scripted it in, i just wanted to know if it was there coz of the total war mod

To add a picture into a post, upload it to some webspace somewhere and add a link to it using the URL button. You cannot upload screenshots or other images to the forum itself because of the space this would take up.

I think you have to have a "host site" to upload the file to. Like a personal web site offered by some internet providers. I could be worng tho.

You don't need a whole site with pages and links and whatnot, just some webspace in which to upload the image. You can link directly to the image from here.

I bet there will be some kind of "Virus" hitting your system and your pics are destroyed just before you show us.

I hate to spoil fun but Im sure the UFO base does not exist. People have been all the way through the programing of X2 and not found any UFO base.

I've seen a shot of a spawned ufo base to prove it is in the code and the screenshots are on the way...

Good lord man youve done it. :D :lol: :D

Sorry I doubted you.

Edit: Is this only at the start of the game. looks like you just restarted because youve only seen a few stations. Is it there after the Khakk invasion/

I'm just waiting for someone to say its the MWM people having a laugh and scripting it in.

Would be nice if someone could fly there and confirm it, although just a thought: maybe it's random where its placed? this isn't me making excuses, i haven't scripted it in, i wouldn't even know where to begin.

this is using the massive war mod right at the start, i was looking for an asteroid that supposedly conatins a container full of money, i stumbled on this miles from anything else, well the coords are there for others to look

edit: i've not looked in my other save, might have to
(the mwm i'm using is the one without the plot)

i believe that it is only in the mwm as you are using the large version of the maps which explains why the north gate is in the midl of the screen and all the asteroids are in a neat line. as i though it was strange as in ore belt the asteroids are scattered across the sector whereas here they are not so as the asteriods locations have been changed iam sure the "station" or tunnels was also scripted in.

also to anyone else i wouldnt suggest looking for t unless you have the mwm and time to spare as it wont be in the normal ame and using that maps coord on a normal game would be impossbile as the sector is a completly different size if this tunnel exists at all

The tunnel looks a load like one in the X-T "SHOW" menu. I always thought it was a little thing that never got into the game. Maybe its in now.

I'm actually using the regular definetly only using the regular size map as thats the only one i moved into the maps folder. The reason the asteroids are nicely grouped is because i've zoomed out plus i've only gone a few hundred metres into the system from the north gate as i immediately went looking for a rumoured asteroid containing a crate north of the gate. And only having a duplex scanner accounts for not having half of the map discovered as soon as i went in to the system.
