[MOD] [TC/AP] X3 Rebalance Mod (XRM) - Total conversion - v1.30d (02.12.13)

[gastovski]

Guys, i lose money(3.9m)approx in every fifteen minutes. I have Shuri, Tyr, Agememnon and Raven. And i got my player ship Vidar Sentinel nothing else. I don't know what pulls money from my account but when i destroyed those 4 ships it's stopped losing. Any ideas what could cause this?.

Any ideas what could cause this?.

How could we guess if you do not tell us which scripts and mods you are using (other than XRM)?

[gastovski]

XRM
TC plots in AP+XRM Patch
IR2.0
Salvage Claim Mods(all)
Advanced Fight Scripts
Anarkis
AP Bonus Package
Bounce
Galaxy Explorer
Mk3 Optim.
Drone Mining
DrBullwinkle's list(%90 of them)

I have Shuri, Tyr, Agememnon and Raven. ... when i destroyed those 4 ships it's stopped losing.

Do you have marines on those ships? Do they have less than 2 stars in training (45 points is the threshold, IIRC)? Are you using Marine Repairs and Training?

[gastovski]

I was using Marine Repairs and all of my ships on standby. Also they have couple +2 stars personal. But while posting this post i've disabled marine addon, lets see what will happen.

[DrBullwinkle]

Training is expensive (including Bootcamp). You can turn off Bootcamp temporarily in the language file if you like. There is no need to disable Marine Repairs completely.

[gastovski]

Thank you for quick answers. It seems marine addon causes this but i did not have this problem my earlier saves(or i did not notice). I just started a new game and now this..

So... does anyone know about this?

Hi, I've noticed that for some reason, the PSP on my odin only firing in union. I remember it used to fire differently, like, each laser has 1~2 seconds delay between firing so they make a continuous stream of bullets. Is there any reason that may causes this? I've played around in the editor, and apparently firing delay only works on charged weapons and has nothing to do with what I've described.

What should I change in what file in order to make those capital ship weapons firing more randomly?

edit: more details. When I'm in the turret, holding down firing button, the turrets are firing more randomly. But when the AI is handling the turrets, every turrets fire in union. I would like it changed to be more randomly so it looks prettier (to me at least )

@Dr.B:

Actually, i have turned the Boot Camp off, but somehow my marines seem to ignore it. Every time i get some new recruits ( some of them are "war prisoners", forced to serve me now - read: captured marines ), seem to gain exp. with time no matter what. And this is costly, indeed ( was wondering why i was loosing couple of millions now and then ).

Uh, sorry for off topic, thought it was your Marine thread.

[DrBullwinkle]

There are two ways in which Marine Repairs and Training trains marines:

• Marines gain experience through on-the-job training while they do repairs. This type of training is based on the amount of damage they repair. If they repair a heavily damaged capital ship, then they may gain training relatively quickly.
• Bootcamp trains untrained marines slowly up to two stars over a period of time. This makes them more effective at both boarding and repairs.

1) If you can confirm that it is Bootcamp ignoring the setting in the t file (rather than normal training during repairs), then please report it on the Marine Repairs and Training thread so that I can fix it.

2) This seems to be a frequently-asked question, and I do not know why. How can I make the documentation more clear about the two kinds of training (including their costs and the ability to adjust the features in the language file)?

Weapons in a turret only start to fire inconsistently once the laser energy of the ship runs out.

OK I extracted everything to the vanilla TC folder...renamed the 2 folders and now my list goes to 15..then took the mov and sounds and added them to the folders and all 200+ files in the scripts_TC folder to the vanilla scripts folder...that should do it.AND...my save game went right in, and I'm siting in my Shrike...doesnt sound right but we'll see.

You will need to restart as much of the xrm would not have inititalised properly if the scripts were missing - including missile boat missile loadouts.

[DrBullwinkle]

i did not have this problem my earlier saves(or i did not notice). I just started a new game and now this..

A) It is not a problem. It is normal, documented, user-controlled, behavior.

2) Bootcamp only works on untrained marines (less than 2 stars in any skill). Most players never notice it. It is only really obvious early in the game.

Suggestion: If there are more questions about Marine Repairs and Training, then let's move them to that thread, OK?

Looking for an editor that will let me change some values on a ship. I did a search but could not find anything. Would someone be so kind to shoot me a link? Thank you.

HMM... thanks for the advise, my next game will be better set up then, but here's what I'm doing now...first I'll play on this game for a while, many new scripts did kick in, there's a bounty system now and what appears to be a xenon war getting started around Grand Exchange. The bombers and M7M are firing missiles now, and there's a ton of new loot drops, its almost too easy. It might be working better for me because 1) I had no bombers or M7M that I owned...2) I was playing an open world game and was not in any plot at all either way its very different already, will be even more so next try, maybe in a week or so I'll restart.

What you will find is that half of the ships in your universe will be unarmed. I strongly suggest you restart.

[KRM398]

Unarmed???Really? Ok you got me there, cant play like that after all, so looks like will be back in a fighter this after noon,ty for the advise and help Paul..will see what the new game brings.

Can you tell which file and where it is located to alter for the ships?

[DrBullwinkle]
