Need some help......

I've done the "pilot name change" thing,
the script editor seems to be active,
I've downloaded a coupla interesting scripts to an independant folder but they are in "rar" and I can't open them (do I need to??).
Could someone give me a step by step guide on what to do next...
(or point me to a tutorial)??

Thanks,

Hey LD,

Download the latest Script Manager (not editor) and run that. It will have three programs that popup or install start icons on your desktop; Plugin Manager Installer, Plugin Manager Packager, and Plugin Manager Ship Creator.

EDIT
Here is a webpage from the actual creators on how to use the Plugin Manager;

EDIT
Here is the Plugin Manager unit. I think I downloaded the regular one as I have had badluck with Beta's.

EDIT
Next, download the base Cheats combo pack and install that via the Plugin Installer.
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=216691

Next, run X3TC, punch in 'Therebewings', and then save and reboot the game.

Now, start the game. Note that you cannot be docked when accessing the Cheat menu screen 'unless' you use a different shop through 'r' menu (personal belongings / Ships). Access a ship there, when you are docked, and you can then access your Cheat Menu.

To access the Cheat Menu Screen, click R to go to Ships, select a undocked ship, click on the space craft in the green window, click Orders / Command Console / Custom then click on the 'Cheat Menu'

Note1; You must create a location for a ship or station to appear at, and assign it to the race; 'Therebewings'. Otherwise, it flies home to its mother race.

Note2; Dreadnaughts can only be boarded by docking with it at a shipyard. I tried the pilot transfer thing and it didnt seem to work. I may be doing something wrong though.

I installed through the cheats/Add Equipment/Transporter, which has a range of 5 Kilometers. But I couldnt find a menu flag that says 'Transporter' or 'Transport Pilot to other Ship', so that is in limbo for now.

Also, I wonder if you can add 'normal' ships to dock in a carrier or dreadnaught? Right now, I have 2 drones (created from the Build Ship Cheat Menu). It would be nice to throw my Iguanna in there, lol... Might be too big though. For some reason, it will not dock at my carrier.


So... LD, what do you have your eyes on? What are you thinking of getting?



Bill
 
Thanks Bill !!!!
I'll give that a try.....

I was going to start with "universal satellites" to help with trading and maybe "rebuild hull & shields" to save money.

Hey LD,

Roger that and most welcome. I added some Edits in there with clickable links. You might re-read that.

I can access 'other' ships that 'are' docked just fine and access the Cheat menu, so evidently it only pertains to the actual pilot and not other craft.



Bill
 
Ok.. I loaded up the Carrier Command software pack on the Mako I have, and that ansered to docking on my Carrier. It wouldnt dock when I was docked to the shipyard.

:d


Time for a road trip! lol...
 
LD,

What did you get? Did the Cheat menu work for you ok?



I ended up doing recon in the South East. Man.. Found gates everywhere.. and pirates.. and some evil hostiles...

I dont know what I did to my Iguanna Vanguard, but it now does 2155 M/S, without using SETA drive, lolol.. Perfect for evading the bad guys..

LD on the RAR files, you most likely have to extract those first, do a google search for Winrar or 7zip, both of those programs will extract RAR compressed files, the rest is in Lionhearts post, use the Add In manager it makes adding and running scripts much easier overall.

Yumpin Yiminee!........It works !!!!!
Loaded up super tuning, hull & shield rebuild and universal satellites.
Followed Gig's plan and purchased a Mammoth freighter.

Have fun LD!

I think the 'Carrier Command Software' package helps on using drones and ships when docked or docking to your Carrier/Dreadnaught.

You can assign them 'Homes' and select which/where it is, and can then include Carriers/Dreadnaughts.

Well, now that my Iguanna is doing 2155 M/S (without SETA drive running), I have found the courage to do drive throughs in the Xenon sectors. They used to blast me as soon as I was a ways out from the gate. Now, they just watch my dust streak by. :d

Got to a secluded, closed off one-way-out 'unknown sector' just past a Xenon sector, and curiosity got me. So I went for it. I finally found the gate out past two Xenon 'somethings' and went through and looked around. Pretty wild. Then, I see this ship behind a asteroid. I go over there, and its just sitting there. What luck! An abandoned ship... I quickly claimed it and realised I coudnt get it through the Xenon sector, lolol... I would need Jump Drive in it.

So I cheated, opened my Cheat list, installed Jump Drive, some Energy Units, set AP to 'Auto-Jump' and got it to the nearest friendly sector to fuel up and jump home.


:d

A very nice find.

Abandoned ship is a Falcon Sentinel.

I also decided to 'create' a Split Supply Elephant. Basically a huge supply dreadnaught. I am into hauling cargo, so when I discovered what they were (and the fact that they look pretty wild) I decided I must have one. That was at nearly 2AM last night though, so tonight after work, I am going to create the supply drones that shuttle cargo back and fourth to the ship.


I wish I could figure out auto-trade.. Anyone figure out if its possible to have ships purchase and sell automatically, or if thats even possible in X3TC...


Below is a shot of the super huge Elephant on a test drive, and then docking at the Teladi Supply Yard, next to my other 'cool chariot' the M1 Tokyo Super Carrier. Other shots are of the Falcon Sentinel.

GoGamer once again has this on their 48 hour madness sale http://www.gogamer.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=66164030&extid=Oct2309 $12.90 for X3:TC 2.0 with the Aldrin Missions PAck. What a great deal. If you do not have this game, there is absolutely no reason not to buy it at this price. AMAZING Price Amazing space sim, go buy it people! (no I do not work for gogamer....lol)
Click to expand...

$15.89 total including shipping. That is a good deal. I keep looking at this one... :kilroy:
 
This is intriguing me as well - especially at that price. I looked at the system requirements, and my old-as-the-hills Dimension 4600 meets or exceeds everything except the core-duo processor requirements. Does anyone have any experience with how this will run on an older machine? I've got a 3 GHz single core with 3 GB of RAM, and a 256 MB AGP graphics card (nVidia 7800 GS). Whaddya think?

I'm running it pretty good ( 6 out of a possible 10 ) with a 2.8 dual, 3 GBs of RAM and a 128 card. You should do OK.

I am at 2.9 Ghz and 3 Gigs or RAM also. There are stutters at times, but for some reason, they are not as bad or dont seem as bad as FSX. At times, its glass smooth, and at times, it will stutter.

On my little hp Laptop, its horrible though. Cant play it.


Bill
 
Where.... (where...) are all the Navigation Satellites? I check everywhere, found most of the gates on the far South East, and still, have found no Nav Sats.

Does anyone know where they might be?

:banghead:

I know.. I could cheat some in, but would rather find them the real way.


Many thanks for any input,



Bill
 
Nav sats not included...................
you have to buy and place them in the sectors of your choice....( I think )
