[Mod-AP][In-Dev] X-Timelines: The Syndicate

Jack08 · Post by **Jack08** » Sat, 8. Feb 14, 03:14

TrixX is in the middle of moving house, and a close member of my family has had some very major health scares in the last few days, so im not in the mood to work on the mod at the moment because of this.

Im sorry all, but for now the project is on hold for an undetermined period of time.

Oh no, I hope they get better soon you have all our thoughts and best wishes.

Should I keep checking this forum periodically (ie daily) for updates to this mod, or give up? Cause there is otherwise no reason for me to come to the Egosoft forums at all other than this

TrixX · Post by **TrixX** » Fri, 21. Feb 14, 06:54

Well hopefully we should be back on track soon. Still unpacking at the new place at the moment, and just managed to get my net sorted (took a week longer than it should have!).

Just one more person who wants to voice their support for your project. I think what you're trying to accomplish looks absolutely amazing, and I'm eagerly anticipating it.

That being said, I completely understand the constrictions of the real world. Best of luck to you. I hope everything works out well so that you can continue on.

I have alot of colours to pick, any suggestions? - http://www.colorpicker.com/ will accept the hex codes (just remove the 0XFF from the begining of them)P

Colors that match/resemble each race's engine exhausts would be fairly intuitive, I'd reckon.

bluenog143 · Post by **bluenog143** » Fri, 21. Mar 14, 19:40

@Jack08

Are you asking for suggestions on the races that already have colors, or for the ones that say "DefaultColor", or do you want suggestions for all of them?

All, the current colours are probably not totally fitting to the original games lore.

All that hope, such great promise. Sigh.

It's a shame this mod (or a beta) was never released.

alex4501 · Post by **alex4501** » Sat, 5. Jul 14, 23:12

Is this mod officially dead now?

At the moment its not under active development, i do want to finish it at some point but i have no idea when that will be.

However, all is not totally lost, im currently porting and developing some of the cool features to 3rd party scripts compatible with Litcubes Universe.

Specifically:
The DLL Overlay with LUA Engine - Named "IceCore"
The "Area Based Passive Missions" - renamed to the Emergent Mission System
The Action Hotkey
A Version of Deep Space Exploration.
and Perhaps, a version of Privateers & Bounty Hunters.

Berhg · Post by **Berhg** » Sun, 6. Jul 14, 06:03

I hope you guys will be able to finish this mod eventually. Also looking forward to seeing your LU scripts in action!

TrixX · Post by **TrixX** » Mon, 7. Jul 14, 06:29

That is the plan. I've just about finished work on some GUI's for LU and getting on to updating my original X3 UI's for a less cluttered look.

Hopefully we'll get to XTL again in the near future.

jack775544 · Post by **jack775544** » Sat, 2. Aug 14, 09:50

I know asking on how XTL is doing right now will get me an on hold answer, so i will ask another question

How is the DLL overlay for LU going? any fancy new screenshots?
