tried adding modded bombers, and the Terran mission failed and froze as well as every convoy mission in game, threw it out they work again, added some ships from the approved ship list in the modding section, froze again. using TC 3.2 and your mod...does that make any more ships or mods unusable?

tried speeding bombers up to 200 for escorts for corvettes and added some medium missiles, but then things start freezing. doesn't matter if I use exact specs from generic ships without modding them, any changes freezes the convoy missions forever.

thats all I'm doing TC 3.2 and Rebalance mod..oh and marine repairs and bailing extension.

I have never seen a success report that explains how to install .xsp ships into XRM.

There *are* some known issues.

For AP, some players have had better success when they install the .xsp into both TC and AP.

For XRM, there was a bug in XRM's dummies file a couple of years ago that created trouble for the Plugin Manager. Don't know whether this has been fixed in XRM.

However, there is a "beta" patch for the Plugin Manager that may work around the dummies bug. So far, nobody has reported a clear description of whether it solves the problem with dummies.

Here are some related threads:

I am *certain* that it could be done by someone sufficiently familiar with modding and XSP's. If anyone *has* done it, then they have not explained "how" they did it (to the best of my knowledge).

[KRM398]

ty for the input, decided that since I had troubles will make my own custom game, deleted all and started with a clean install of TC from disk, upgraded to 3.2 and now getting all the little stuff I want to add, so ty for the info but will drop the mod for now and go it alone for once.

[KRM398]

hey Paul I want to add the Khaak TM to my custom game but its not listed on the approved ships list that I can see, but it was in your mod...can I get a XSP of it somewhere?

Do mean the bartering system? Has it ever worked correctly?

If its grey, then there are no merchants. However, in the XRM that should not happen. Please check that you have copied all the scripts from the "scripts_ap" or "scripts_tc" folders into your local "scripts" folder.

You'll need restart if this is the problem as there will be a lot more wrong with your game than just the bartering not working.

The dummies file is indeed the problem - The version I inherited from the original Ship Rebalance Mod from Someone Else had its entries in a different order to the vanilla dummies. I believe the plugin manager does not handle this order change and it breaks the file. I've just never got around to fixing the problem.

A manual install of the dummies entries should work just fine.

[Elsin]

But in saves from 20 hours back all works good,i installed xrm corectly and very cerful.Is just happenn.
Is possible Improved races ejected merchants from stations somnehow?
I play on this saves 100h+ and game runs smoth,zero problems with anything.

Thanks, I will try this.

Any know if the military scaner (triplex scanner in vanilla) is needed for trader mk3?i have 5 baldric with mk3 (really expensive, maybe not recomended) military scaner need cargo size XXL and baldric have XL

[BlackArchon]

You don't need a special scanner for your MK3 traders.

[solarahawk]

No, there is no scanner requirement for the MK3 trader.

EDIT: Jinx!

[DrBullwinkle]

The dummies file is indeed the problem - The version I inherited ... had its entries in a different order to the vanilla dummies.

I'm not sure that the order should matter (although it is possible, I suppose).

Cycrow reported that there is a blank entry just after the new_535_ExtDock:

ships\props\new_535_ExtDock_dummy;ANIMATEDF_DOCKPORT_FIGHTER|ANIMATEDF_DOCKPORT_UDDOWN|ANIMATEDF_DOCKPORT_BELOW30;0;
; // <<==== This line is blank.

He seemed to think that was the main problem with the dummies file. I don't know one way or the other, but fixing it would be an easy thing to try.

That's part of the frustration with .xsp's -- there have been several solutions suggested, but not a single soul has *tried* the solutions and reported back *sigh*.

Anyway, that's all I know about it.

[Cycrow]

i did actually fix the problem with the blank entries, so the plugin manager was able to detect it and adjust it accordingly.

i cant remember if i ever actually released that version, or if it was only ever in a beta version.

Ill have to check and see if i need to release it properly

where did you guys get the missile mod you used in XRM? It helped a lot making dumb fires more useful, the missile mod mentioned in the mod list is dead and lost, so thought I'd ask here.
