Can't wait! It's already July; time flies!

Will this be posted on Egosoft official discord server? How's it going so far?

It's been a few months, pinging the topic ... What has been heard?

Is the XRM Part 3 download link broken? I just get an error message and it asks me to try refreshing the page.

Edit: After numerous attempts it started working, guess it was a Onedrive gremlin.

Before downloading, you should read the topic. This mod is for the old version of the game and the author does not update the mod for a year and most likely everything is over)).

Ah poop, as that comment was over a year ago I thought it might have been updated, but wasn't sure. So I gave it a go anyway and it appears to run ok. Have I effectively broken my game then?

If memory does not change, there are no scripts in this version, only cat / dat, you can try to play if you notice obvious problems, then you can decide what to do next. There are no global mods for FL. There are mods that Cyrcov created. Look at the section up to page 3, maybe further.

Thanks. I'll likely continue to potter in this game while I wait for the update, treating it as practise as I've really forgotten how play X3. Well, I've forgotten how to consciously play X3, every so often muscle memory kicks in and I do the correct key sequences for something without thinking... funny how that works lol.

Btw: the mod is added as 8.cat, yet there's no 7.cat - am I missing something?

Installation:
  • Download:

    XRM PART 3

    Backup your 00044.pck, 00144.dat and 00244.dat found in addon2/mov folder then delete 000044.pck
    Extract 00144.dat, 00244.dat from XRM_Part3 mov folder to the addon2/mov folder

    It should look like this:

    Image

    Do not install soundtrack part from the XRM_Part 3 archive, the soundtrack and sectors that use them arent yet ported over

    After you've done with XRM_part3 download:

    FLXRM

    Extract the archive from FLXRM.rar to your addon2 folder

    Fire up Plugin Manager, eneble modified mode, exit and play

    Note that you need to create a new game for the changes to take effect.

Technical stuff:

t file used - 9950

I did follow those exact steps.

It's the FLXRM step that does this, as the instructions simply say to extract it, which I did, and the file is 08, not 07. Will the game not see it if the number skips?

Last number - 06.

If you decide to install on patch 1.3.1 then 07, but I can't predict how this mod will work on versions 1.3 of the game.

I did some testing, with it as the default 08 it does not work. I was mistaking vanilla FL features (not present in AP) for *modded* features showing things were working. If I rename to 07, I can start a new game, but it crashes when certain audio is played. Plus, the starting Solano ship from the "OTAS Technician" start is broken, being limited to M-Class storage, yet can mount two 25mw shields which are L-Class.

I thought OTAS Technician was an FLXRM game start, but I guess it must be vanilla as it was present when FLXRM wasn't enabled. It's possible *some* aspects were working, due to how things are installed, but not the main mod it appears. I thought shot speeds looked a bit too slow, but thought perhaps things had been rebalanced vs. original XRM.

I'll look forward to the mod being update for FL 1.3 (hopefully 1.3.1 unofficial patch) but I'll play a mostly vanilla game in the mean time.

I'm guessing FL is much more than just X3AP with some bundled mods/scripts then, hence why some AP (and even TC) scripts work fine and others do not. There were similar issues going from TC to AP IIRC.

Did I claim? I assumed because the lack of any kind of information for a long time, can lead to different thoughts. In order to maintain interest in fashion, it is necessary to prove yourself at least once a month ... 1 or 2 words about the progress of work is enough. And you shouldn't react like that to someone else's words. This is a forum. I said and then once the author appeared and confirmed that the work was going on, that’s good ... Otherwise, it’s not very good to be silent and then resent ...

Now, when there is at least some kind of information, we can wait another half a year ... :)

As it was with any mod or any game, it's a common sense to stop either assuming or whatever you think it would have effect to speed the projects up, which as Ketraar said way before, it won't have any effect you think it will, and most certainly i won't prove anything to you or anyone else, the mod is here because of MY own will to share it
Also you should stop being rude with "waiting for another half a year" as i said before the mod is like a small spec in the infinite other projects im working on ( RL ), the polite thing to ask/ say is "Do you need a help" or something like that, then we could've totally different conversation.

I would like to also post a friendly reminder to all Community members that as a modder the last thing you want is being pressured, the whole beauty of modding is that you can do whatever you want in whatever pace you like, otherwise its a job. Mods start and stop all the time, small ones and big ones. The interest of people changes, RL (for those that have such nonsense) can take focus. And I get that most dont even mean in a bad way, they are maybe just excited and are eager to play the mods, that's normal.

In any case, we should all try and be nice and tolerant. Often also meaning gets lost in translation and text caries the emotion of the reader rather then that of the writer. So hope we can just chill and get along, while leave modders to their thing. :goner:

MFG

I don't know what in my words offended you. I only suggested, if that's rude to you, then I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. This is a forum and a thread on mod that many people are waiting for. Maybe for you it's more interesting when no one shows any interest in the mod and the topic at all ... Then, again, I apologize for worrying about the progress of the mod. I will not write anything more, so as not to hurt your feelings... :) :P

Regarding help, if I were well versed in X3 modding, I would offer help, but it’s not like that, so I want and wait, wait and want, and time is not rubber .. We are not eternal, but we constantly want ... )) :lol:

Idk if you had problems growing up or something...no you've missed the whole point...im glad that people are interested in the topic or mod...problem is your behaviour how you think that pushing something will have any effect for speeding up the project while it won't...

If you ever modded you will understand...and there's no need to be snide

Moving on...anyways update seems to be ready but i haven't tested anything because i don't have the time to do it, if someone is interested let me know on Discord on official Egosoft server under x3-modding
Thanks

Thanks for the update!

I got a couple questions.
- Is this mod compatible with the abandoned ships expanded mod? This mod here: viewtopic.php?f=201&t=448221
- Can I play this on a steam copy of the game or do I need to make an offline version of FL before playing FLXRM?
