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

[Grimshad]

Well, I guess i'm going to have to move away from XRM. The game freezes a few minutes after I start up IR. I don't know why XRM and IR would be incompatible. Oh well

[joelR]

Frame rate drops to zero or one and doesn't recover. I end up having to alt/f4 the thing back to windows.

If you have an nVidia GPU, set your Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames setting to 0 in the nVidia control panel for X3TC.

That should largely fix that issue.

If that works you are a jukebox hero. I'll keep you posted!!

Did you see anything in my scripts that jump out as a potential conflict with this awesome mod?

Nothing you posted looks like it would cause any issues. I cant say for sure because I dont use them all. Still they look fine based on what I know about how they work.

And by the way thanks for getting that damned song stuck in my head now.

yeah i unzipped it all in the Addon folder, i went exactly where it told me to go for X3AP

And you renamed them 03, 04, 05, etc?

yes i did all of that, and ran the plugin manager as well

Also, are you launching the game with the x3ap.exe or x3tc.exe?

[Grimshad]

Are there any other mods that work with AP that add new ships/stations/weapons?

http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=2704437 (be certain you follow the XRM specific install instructions)

And all the crap in here:

If what you are telling me is true then there is no reason that XRM wouldnt work. I would suggest you start from a vanilla install and do it over again. You clearly goofed something up. The rest of us have got it going just fine.

BTW did you add a 0 (zero) when renumbering the XRM and hull packs?

And you renamed both the cat and dat?

Does it look like this:

01.cat
01.dat
02.cat
02.dat
03.cat
03.dat
04.cat
04.dat
05.cat
05.dat

Seriously though. Where did Rick Astley learn those moves?

It might be worth just going for the SPK versions Nick since you're having a lot of difficulty installing the manual version.

No idea but that video clip is funny as all hell. It makes me laugh each time.

Good news. I deleted the jobs.txt and wingjobs.txt from XRM, then I put the jobs.txt from the No Civs mod in its place. Started a new game and activated IR and no crash!

Bad news. While the Civs from AP are not in the game, all the Civs from XRM are still in the game and that's annoying

ok i dunno what was going on but its now working finally...

i got the basics down, but are there any other usefull mods that will make the game a big better?

anything like Sector take over, or another ship pack that works with XRM, or something like that?

I spoke too soon. Game crashed.

[nap_rz]

so nobody here use capital ships ecells regenerator script?

[morikaane]

Hooray!! (welcome to XRM).

Stick to the basic mod. Maybe install the bonus pack (less hassle than installing the updated ones) and get NPC Bailing... marine repairs too whilst you're at it.

anything like Sector take over, or another ship pack that works with XRM, or something like that?

Sector take over...? IR... but that'll be fiddly getting the settings right because XRM is pretty aggressive and you definitely DO NOT need more ships. You've got like 200+ new ones.

Also, make a backup copy of your working XRM install, just in case you mess it up adding mods. It'll save you another headache.

Wheres Rick Astley when you need him.

Glad you got it fixed...im dying to know how!

[morikaane]

Wheres Rick Astley when you need him.

Probably hiding after becoming a massive Internet Meme, even if it is an oldish one.

so nobody here use capital ships ecells regenerator script?

I might try fixing mine when I purchase my Tupekei. My gut tells me that it has something to do with the setup script. It's probably the command slot its trying to use or something.
