ALERT! Version 1.4 of DDTC is available for download!

Is their any way to disable the backgrounds? I dont like them, and they are also buggy

http://s3.directupload.net/images/100327/ww7vxjs6.jpg

I have to excuse myself, apparently it was caused by the cockpit mod, which I had indeed installed.


I have heard that in a future release there will be a Cockpit Mod included in DDTC?

[Larent]

Please allow me to take your question over:

How to disable the new backgrounds?


Sorry, but first off all they cause my game to lag like hell. I mean I have quite a high-end PC, but still with the backgrounds I got 1sec-2sec pauses in midgame.

Second, the backgrounds MIGHT look impressive in some sectors...In other they are just too much. Space is black, and if you enter the 10th sector with a pink nebula it just gets annoying.

Third, sometimes the backgrounds just dont fit in. I mean sometimes you just see that they are actual photos "copy&pasted" on the background.


So, is there a DDTC version without the backgrounds?

yay finaly able to log back in

ok .... dam great mod ...... realy great

but :-
the 'hulk' is invincible even after you cap it
to many free m6's
no engin glow on the x-wing .... also lights that are supost to be on the ends of the wings are in the middle of them

[Hieronymos]

the 'hulk' is invincible even after you cap it

What do you mean? By invincible, do you mean God Mode?

to many free m6's

The free M6 loophole will be plugged in next build. So enjoy it while you can.

Thanks for heads up on X-Wing effects.

I've been having interesting issues with it, the two I've been unable to stop are thus:
in some sectors, I see huge (80+) swarms of those little flying saucer thingies,
-advanced satellites show up as Arrows. (They still act like sats, but register on you screen and with Betty as 'Arrow'
I've got no clue.

[eddywolf001]

yes m8 it in god mode....

Hi all

Cheers

OOOh that's pretty!


Spare a moment to give a novice ship modeler a tip?


I want to, as an exercise, modify an existing X3 texture and save it as a new one, then export it with my model part as usual.

BUT DBOX is giving me errors about "can't find that DDS" file.

So, I am stuck with using only stock X3 textures (but at least I can UV Map them as I like).

What is the trick?

Thanks!!

Hi,

Loving the mod but i just have a possible snag. So far I have done a load of the yaki shipyard mission, (enough for a naggy) and failed one argon. I've also done 1 teladi. So far the split won't give me a mission and the argon one hasn't been re-offered yet. I'm privaliged something of rhonkar and would have expected to see an offer by now. The boron don't seem to want my help eitger. I'm Queens knight.

So my questions is are my ranks high enough for the ones i'm not being offered ? Are they broken and can they be fixed ?

Thanks in advance and the new ship looks saweeeet

[eddywolf001]

i believe that if you fail the first missions for a shipyard they dont offer any more

and s for the others they might have sent the invite but it got lost in the spam tryed going to the shipyards that usualy triggers another mail from them



edit :- yes the new ship looks good ... almost otas .. TL ish

@MarkulXL

Sorry for my late response.Easter and all

You must put your new texture insaid the game(put it in a mod and then put that mod in game folder as a fake patch).

[Kieren_the_vexed]

@eddywolf001

Thanks for the reply. I have been around them all to see if they are offering and I'm currently helping the Teladi. It would be terrible if they don't make another offer. I should have reloaded really but can't remember why I didn't. Still its done & I'm not restarting again. Hopefully if there is a patch or an udate they'll sort it.

[Hieronymos]

Kieren_the_vexed,
yeah, we'll have to make a patch to enable folks who fu*% up the first mission to get a re-offer down the road. Should have some hefty requirements though: great race rep; high combat score, etc.

But even if you're locked out of RTI missions, you can still capp their ships

I've been playing DDTC for a while now and I LOVE it. I do have a question however, how does one find terran sector X? I have it on my map and I have a jumpdrive I just cant seem to get there because I have no jump gates that i've found in that sector. Any help would be appreciated.

[Joman]

its fly to elysion of light and just fly north eventhely you will find it or go to HE and fly to the east in some time i think it is best to use the gate in HE couse it is clouser.

[limbhacker123]

THanks for the Help!

[Joman]

is it possebel to un-install the mod without to start an new game?

[eddywolf001]

i believe it will crash the game if you try playing it without the mod


and on another note

:- problem with the guns on a charon mk2 - all guns exept rear wont shoot, seems ot be a cockpit positioning problem as when in the side guns u can see the inside of the ship

and simlar problem with the new taladi m7... whatever the name is

[Hieronymos]

@Joman:
am not sure I understand your question. Any DDTC custom starts should only be available if you are using DDTC mod. If you've started a new game with the mod, and want to uninstall it and continue your campaign in vanilla..bad things will probably happen, like a ctd. Better to start a fresh, unmodded vanilla game.
...............

Thanks eddywolf001

I'd tested the Charon myself many months ago, and she checked out fine..so something must've gotten borked in the last version. When fully sorted she's a great light frigate Flakship.

Didn't know about the new Saker M7. We'll get it sorted in the next build.

[jacare]
