Terran Conflict X3; Extreme Addiction!

thank, or curse???

Well, don't know yet whether to thank all of you, or curse you all!!! LOL:ernae:
I've been reading this thread for the last week or so, and since I'm down here in the sunny state of Florida visiting family for Thanksgiving, I went out and found a copy of this "adventure" for a steal at Babbages. Found it in the Countryside Mall store in Clearwater for $9.99. It's the Terran Conflict Ver. 2.0, with the Aldrin Missions. When I get home tomorrow, we'll see just how much this sucks me in....lol:jump: Funny thing is, I then went to the EB Games store down on the 1st floor of the Mall, and they had the same exact game, but for $10.00 more. Talk about being in the right place at the right time, eh?? I guess I'll be posting more in here as time goes on, and I get the chance to learn and find my way around, like most of you have done.....:isadizzy:

After tomorrow - "And Another one bytes the dust"....

Welcome aboard yank51, I am sure you will fnd youself imersed in space flight in no time. BTW if you get frustrated, jsut start at the beginning of this thread it is better than the manuals as far as a tutorial goes anyway...lol
 
Just got the Ship Station Mod 2.3 installed into a renamed copy if Reunion. All I can say is WOW! that's sweet.

I tried twice but couldn't get the 2.5 version to download for some reason. It started to, but real slow and then just quit. No problem, 2.3 looks might fine for now.
 
Maybe try downloading that after a couple of hours.

Figure this. The Germans love this game the most, so when they are online gaming (late at night at their time in the world) is when the servers will be hardest hit for downloads for this game.

Music from X3 and X2 to iTunes and your iPhone or iPod

Hey all,

In case you didnt know, you can import your music into a music folder from X3. For those that have X3 Gold, you also have a music CD which I believe may have all the same music.

From there, you can import it into iTunes (if you are an iTuner), and then from there, select all the songs in one grouping, right click and hit Info and in there, put in a name of the Album so they all have the same album name, and if you have a screenshot from X3, perhaps something on it that says X3TC or X3 Terran Conflict or Reunion, you can then drag and drop that onto the photo square for the album art. Click Ok and you are good to go.

You can then add that album onto your iPod or iPhone and it will have all music in one Album location and have a album cover as well. (Mine didnt have one, so I had to add my own. It was also in 3 or 4 groupings as it wasnt an official album, having been dragged out of the game CD).

Some cool tunes....! :d

It is an odd feeling though. When I was listening to the music lastnight, I kept wondering how certain ships were doing and that I shouldnt be leaving them unattended.. lol.

I wonder if you can put your own music in X3. I always feel like I should be listening to the "Blue Danube" every time I dock at a station. :icon_lol:

Yep..

I had seen in the forums that they have ways of placing their own music in the sim. If I am correct, I think it uses wav files. So you only need to convert them and switch them out, renaming them as well.

Certain sectors have certain themes, so you simply switch those out to what you want..

Thanks a bunch people! One of the reasons I love this site!

Yes, indeed there are Walmarts in Canada, many in my area. I just never thought of trying them. It is on order and they say to expect it before next weekend. So much for resting up for the workweek!!!!

Welcome to the club, Matt!

Enjoy the days remaining before your copy arrives.... :ernae: ....

You will love it, the game is crazy.... it is huge and a lot of possibilities... probabilities.... missions.... trading... conquering, combat, .... and a lot more.... :bump:
 
Well, I found X3 Reunion at the local Mac store, got it.. Installed it.. Had issues with my Saitek (probably needs drivers installed for Mac), and I downloaded the 2 updates available for it, (Mac version), and now the Registration Code will not work, lol..


Arrghh..


Pretty cool to see it for Mac. Just hope I can get it running. I should have 4 full Gigs working in RAM instead of just 3 Gigs that WinXP uses. I believe OpenGL runs more smoothly then DX, (from what all I have been through, it does). I hope I can get it running again..

I can't ever seem to find this game for less than $30 :angryfir: I'd probably go ahead and get it for $20. At $10, I'd snatch it up for sure.

Waiting.... waiting... they have to reduce the price somewhere I have access to eventually...

Game Stop..... go to a local Game Stop.... They may have it there for a bargain price... :applause:
 
I still cant believe the Gold Pack is down to $29.99, has all the additions, and a music CD. It was at least $39.99 when it first launched. In one week it dropped $10.00. Something odd about that.

Odd sometimes how pricing works..

Bill, best of luck with the Mac version, and make sure you get the Xtended Mod, it is awsome,, Imentioned before it was the basis for Terran Conflict, but Ergosoft did not use many of the effects the modders included so the Reunion with Xtended has some very neat effects you do not see in TC. The ship exhaust and missle trails are amazing in the mod, and as you saw in one of my posts the gates are very colourful.

I am trying to rebuild my Terran Conflict Install now, the Apricot Slice Mod crashed and burned on Thursday and I am having problems with it. The Vanilla game is fine but I can't get the mod working now...:censored:

I finally copied the working Vanilla and installed the Mod again, but no go, so I am starting from scratch. Oh well I learned a lot the first time through so I can do it better this time. The first thing I did was put 3 freighters to work on Sector Trading right away, and I grabbed a few tough missions to build up the Rep as quickly as I can, the rest is just time and water under the bridge...

BTW I am running on Win 7 64 with 8GB, it does not seem to make much difference over the Vista 32, but it was fine with the graphic settings maxed so I doubt I would notice much anyway. I also have the XPMode virtual machine installed so I may install to that and do a quick compare just to see if it is different?
