Welcome aboard Penzoil, Live Long and Prosper :)
 
I've kind of taken a break from X3 and am trying to finish Dragon Age Origins, but I know that the call of space will suck me back in. Kind of like a floating rock heading towards a blackhole.:mixedsmi:

OK, simple question here... How exactly, do I activate/utilize/or make work the cheats? I've downloaded and installed the "cheat package" and plug-in manager written by "cycrow", but haven't figured out yet how to activate anything.. I'm really new at this, but was really loking only to get the "carry passengers" cheat installed, so I can earn a bit of money while exploring in my Discoverer ship. I've used most of the money I was given to start with improving its speed and rudder (goes about 400m/sec now), but I've got no weapons and minimum shields. Was cruising along last night, went through a gate in a pirate sector (found this out this morning when I peeked at a map) and was run into by a much bigger ship, causing me to explode...lol. I'd been warned about not lingering near a gate, but got a bit of forgetfulness while I looked at my sector map... Dummy, eh?? lol :isadizzy:

Yank51, the "Cheats" are activated using the Script editor then running the script you want to activate each cheat, which sounds simple but it is farily involved. Here is a quick list of the steps.

1- Download and copy the scripts you wish to use and place them in the Scripts folder inside the main X3 folder.

2- Activate the Script Editor ingame by renaming your pilot;
a) make sure you are in space do not do this while docked at a station.
b) from the main menu select Personal (the top icon on the left side), then select Advanced.
c) in the Advanced Menu select Rename
d) enter the following new name for your pilot "Thereshallbewings" - no quotes, and be careful for some reason the game does not accept repeat letters quickly so you often do not get both "L's" if you type them too fast.
e) the screen will freeze for a moment as if the name is changing but when you look if you have the same name you started with the script editor activation was successful.

3- Now go back to the Personal Menu again and select Global Commands, at teh bottom you should see "Script Editor" select it and it will appear on the right side.

4- activating a script is simply a matter of finding it in the list and highlighting the specific script then press the "R" key (do not press enter this will open the script for editing) and then depending on the script you will either endter an option such as the number of credits you want to add, Then press enter to finish and you are done.

There are a huge number of scripts for all kinds of purposes, some are cheats some are for specific game purposes or mods, you have to expirement a little to find what you want but there are plenty to choose from. If you want to have the best overall Super Script "Package" look for the Cycrow Collections, if you find the full package and run it successfully it will add a new menu to the Ship Command menu - "Custom", when you select that ingame you can do all kinds of neat stuff, load all equipment for free, load up on Energy cells etc.

Thats the quick and dirty version if you still have questions let me know I can probley help with specifics if you have problems.
 
Also... You can get the infamous Cycrow Plugin Manager.

I use that to install things. Works great and its easy enough for me to learn how to work, lol..

Thanks Mike... I opted for installing the Cycrow Plugin Manager like Bill suggested. I've been trying it out the last couple of days. I did notice your point about the "double letters", as the first time I tried to change the name to "Thereshallbewings", it missed the double "LL". I had done that at first, but don't know if the Cycrow cheat package will work without the name change. I was sure busy exploring yesterday, as it's been rainy around here that last few days. Found out you can't trust your autopilot in docking, as I was run into the station last night right after I entered a new sector (for me anyways) and was trying to save the game before I explored. Also ran myself right into a station I was trying to protect from some pirates while "engaged"....lol:pop4:

Yank51, we have all learned the Autopilot has "Brain Farts" it is even worse if you have ships of your own following you, they often get a terminal case of "Stupid" I have seen them fly stright into an asteroid - I blame it on Scotty and his D@m Space Fuel...lol
 
WooHooooooooo!!!! It was real late, but got the call earlier that my copy is in. Sleep this weekend? Better get some tonight, as there will be none in the coming week!!!!!!

Welcome aboard Aeronca1.

If you cant sleep at night, at least you can have some fun...

Flying freight, dog fighting pirates and evil aliens, discovering 200 to 400 gates, hovering in orbit over huge planets with cloud systems slowly moving over a rotating planet, ultra sophisticated stations with animated cars running along rails, tons of functioning AI traffic...


Alot to learn though.. Read the basics on it..

Thanks! I surely will be reading a lot after I pick it up this morning. I'm a "wounded" veteran of online gaming, and am really looking forward to an adventure that won't be "blasted" by A**hats out to ruin your gaming experience simply because they like to hassle people.

That's the main reason that I won't do any multiplayer beyond FS (Disclaimer: flies occasionally for Avsim in the RTWR).

This one is strictly solo, although it would be cool to cooperatively blast some Kha-ak or Xenon! :ernae:

Anybody discovered a good ship for playin' taxi / haulin' peoples ??

Hey LD,

I saw a interesting Taxi job service addon pack last night at Egosoft.com in the XUniverse forums in the main library at the top in X3TC Modding forums.

Mike was telling me about it a while back.


Also, 'Haulers' are the ships that are like tubeliners in X3. They are the airliners.

You 'could' convert a Super Freighter to have life support in the cargo bay which would make it a 747 (or A380), but as you know, thats like putting people in an oil tanker and sending them to another land, lol... (Yah gotta have windows).

If I see that Taxi service script page again, I'll send the link here.

Bill
 
:wavey:
Thanks for the welcome. I'm just a humble trader, been through only 18 systems so far. Only have 6 ships. Haven't killed any pirates, but did fire on some. They growled at me, and flew away..
LOL :jump:

LD, the TP class ship is configured to carry people so they are the best bet, no need to add life support, here is a clip I took from Roguneys site and the link to the page for reference, take note this list may not be complete he was still adding when I got the info but it gives you a good start.

What an Odyssey!!! Well, went down to WallyMart on Saturday before noon, and their machine wouldn't accept my new "chipped" bank card. They tried several times, no go. Sooo OK, no problem, I'll go to my bank and get the cash. Ooops, it's after 5PM by the time I get there, bank is closed. No problem I'll just use the ATM. Oh, that's down as well. Off to find an ATM that works. Woot! Found one. Hmmmm $2.50 fee for using... By this time, it was F this, just gimme the $$$$ and let me go buy the game. LOL, got the $$$ and headed on back to WallyMart. WHAT? You sold the game!? WHY?

WallyMart Moron: It had yesterday's date on it and it wasn't picked up, so we sold it........ Jeepers (most PC thing I could think to write!!)

Well, I felt like that old Cosby routine where the football coach gets his team all riled up, beating on lockers, waiting to massacre the other team then on heading out to the field, finds the locker room door has been locked.....

Sunday AM. Decide I need to go console myself, and since misery loves company, I invite my nephew out for breaky (Wife and child want to go shopping..) A starving college kid won't say no to food, never. :applause:

Sooooo, we head down to the greasy spoon we like and have a real good feed. After that, he asks if I'd mind stopping at EBGames so he can pick up a copy of an XBox 360 football game. No problem, nada else to do.

So, I'm standing there trying to look appropriately interested in console games when out from the back comes a clerk with an arm full of GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, if there had of been a mental health officer present, I'd be in a suit with arms that tied behind me. There it was, X3 Gold Edition :jump:.

Now, sitting here analyzing the weekend, I think it'll take years of therapy to put this behind me. Luckily for me, it may take that long just to learn all the nuances of this game!!!!

PS Can I inject it for a faster experience? LOLOLOL!
 
wooo hooooo!!!!

Man.. What are the chances of that happening....? What are the mathmatical chances of him coming out that door with you seeing him visible with an arm full of the games you have been looking for.

I guess you were meant to have this game Aeronca.

Moral of the story.. You can have your breakfast and get your game too!
