When I install the mod the plugin manager tells me it may not work, and in the custom ware tab all i get is a number 10 and no listed wares.

I have X3:R 2.5. anyone know whatys causing the problem?

You have a newer version of the game. I have tested EMP on 2.5 and it will crash at some point in the game. It will continue to do so until emp is disabled. I have yet to locate the exact cause of the problem, but I know it is EMP as it's the only mod I have installed with no scripts using it (to isolate the crash).

So does EMP work with x3 ver 2.5? I installed two scripts that require it, but didn't install EMP since I see people saying that it will cause the game to crash. Merchant Guild, and Ship Jamming device. The merchants guild seems to work ok (I get missions, the shipyards are there, and the sattelites, the BBS has info on best buys and sales, etc). The only problem is that when I reached level 2, I got a blank text message. But checking on my guild status says that I reached level 2. I haven't tried the ship jamming device yet. Now I'm not sure if I should remove the scripts or not?

The EMP only adds extra slots for modders to use. So what you will be missing by not having it installed, is text. Any script that needs EMP will be missing text or having (Read-text ####) where the modded slot should be. The script should run fine by itself as it doesn't change anything else. However, if there are internal references to the ware numbers in the script, then it might break. You'll just have to test. Hopefully there will be an update for EMP in the future

Ok thanks for the info.

I tried to play with {EMP} but game crashes or starts showing everything in blue colors, so if you don't quit the game within a couple of minutes your eyes will scream at you! >_<
I understand that it adds extra slots, gives names to ead-Text items and so on, but playing in the way described above is just impossible.

Sorry, "aalaardb.strike9.com" does not exist or could not be found

Download the latest version here (works with X3 v1.4):
Extended Mod Pack 10kb
Extended Mod Pack Mirror Rar file : hosted by LV

RAR File that was all i got with the seond download link with a picture w/ white background and some funny looking "webpage" with some colored dots on it,.. no zip file. AHH ok i found it in properties : it is a PCK file as most of my files are in the scripts folder except for the ones(html docs) i put in there from the pirate guild.

so i am probably guessing that all the debugs i did when the game would not run(pc prob not software issue) i may have messed up alot of stuff yes? like in options for game i no longer have the ga;axy editor anymore.
of course it has been 6 yrs since i played or so and as well as the debugs i recently did this time around

so oops maybe i should just buy a new X3R and wait til i have the correct specs(New PC just for X3R) to play it?

TO INSTALL:
Default Installation:
Unzip the file to your main X3 directory. Be careful not to overwrite any files. If you are asked to overwrite any files, extract the zip to a temp folder. Then check in your Main X3 directory for files called 04.dat .. 05.dat and find the highest number. Rename the new files to the highest number + 1, and place them back into the main directory. This is the default method because it allows you to select another mod to run on your games.

ok i found those .dat ;

so do i rename all 4-9 ie: 4=5, 5=6 etc? or just rename the 09.dat to 10?
or do i have to rename like this?: 04+1, etc for all?

umm i made a big mistake

i think i choose XML Editor and checked use this to open these kinds (whatever it is when you choose to use something to open a program) how do i get this to be undone?

everytime i download the EMP it has the XML editor icon

Total Noob to the forum, but Ive had no luck with searches other than finding this thread.
I installed X3:R and updated to 2.5

I came across this thread because the scripts i installed gave me some gibberish messages upon loading as well as some gibberish menu buttons, as have been described by others.

I realize it has to do with having this mod installed, so Im just asking if theres any news on progress of an update, or if there will even be an update?

CRAP. I accidently installed this script into my terran conflict game with the .spk installer. It's not showing up on my x-universe plugin manager lite and I cannot figure out a way to uninstall it! Help!! Argh!

on my complex hub for my advanced drone factory mk ii I now has za_EMP_blank_ware_custom10_2

XTM is NOT for X³ Terran Conflict.

This might be a long-dead topic but somehow the most useful script Ive ever seen (Sat Limited Universal Trader) has disappeared and theres nowhere to download it. The last person to upload a copy was Zzyn himself, but he could only find the original, which was in SPK format and doesnt install correctly. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
I thought the problem was not having EMP installed, but theres no EMP for 2.5.
All my UTs are getting attacked and its so frustrating because all I want is this one little script to work. None of the forum topics have really helped with this. Any info on how to get this script to run in 2.5 would be great.

I don't understand how this EMP mod, which is needed for many many other mods, still has yet to be updated for 2.5

Someone tell me what I need to do to update it and I'll do it.

This is sad.

I too would like help on getting EMP to work with version 2.5. I tried and it doesn't. Please help. Or I am willing to help, but I am not sure what needs to be done.

McTaff · Post by **McTaff** » Sun, 11. Jul 10, 14:29

I can't seem to download either of the first two files.

The SPK pack and rar listed after the first two aren't incredibly clear what exactly it is for, as I have X3:R and X3:TC, and the Crycow Installer says the second two files are only good for Bala Gi - but isn't Bala Gi in the first game (i.e. X3:R ?)

I am confused and would appreciate someone steering me in the right direction to get the correct file for upgrading my 'vanilla' game that I have at the moment so I can start installing a few nice scripts I have my eye on.

Would also like someone to xactly define which files go with which version of the game, as my X3:R is version 2.5 (which I was under the impression had Bala Gi missions in it) and I also have X3:TC to go to as well.

...furthermore, when I did try to install the package (for 2.01+), the plugin manager "crashed" (i.e. greyed out and did nothing for 6 hours, shows up as Not Responding in Win 7 task manager).

Any ideas?

Post by **X2-Illuminatus** » Tue, 13. Jul 10, 21:29

Which version of the plugin manager do you use? IIRC the current one should come with the emp already built-in.

v2.12

However my ham-fisted treatment casued it to inexplicably die. Ended up uninstalling X3 completely in a vain attempt to uninstall the plugin manager, and yet still it resides in my Programs List. Ended up just deleting the files and forgetting the whole ordeal (as I figure I am due for a complete reformat on that PC anyway).

Before I put X3 on my gaming rig - is EMP already in v2.12 of cycrow's manager?

LV · Post by LV » Sun, 18. Jul 10, 08:29

it may be but it's the new emp version which is in need of a re-write of the entire emp list internally for all scripts using it

for reunion i think your better using the standalone old emp mod

McTaff · Post by **McTaff** » Sun, 18. Jul 10, 10:58

I see. In that case, how do I install the emp mod - do I need to use a different version of Cycrow's installer?

Sorry but I'm very new to this, I have used mod managers in other games but this one is different, of course.

Post by **Cycrow** » Sun, 18. Jul 10, 14:32

the plugin manager lite has both reunion and tc emp built in.

only the tc version is the new updated version.

when using reunion, it'll install the standard emp from reunion
