30.Dec.04 To end 2004, The_Abyss meets Avis for some news on The Return  (49 Comments)
Wow - where did 2004 go? Well, as most of you know, it was mostly spent in darkened rooms playing X²: The Threat. And now 2005 is just around the corner, and a little way into the year, we will have X²: The Return unleashed upon us. So what better time to bid you welcome to the latest and last for 2004 in the interview series with people responsible for working on X² - The Return. Today's victim, Avis.

Once again a poll:

What's your primary way of playing X2?
- unmodified, nothing except for the offical updates
- with bonus plug-ins, but only the signed stuff
- I use whatever I can get my hands on; modded universes; custom scripts, signed or not...

09.Dec.04 Bonusdownload: MSCI Programmer's Handbook  (38 Comments)
With the advent of X², a new aspect of play was brought into the X games that it didn't have before - the Script Engine. Used by many, parts of it it still represent a mystery to some. That was, until yesterday.

We are pleased to announce the "MSCI Programmer's Handbook". More than 120 pages of information, from the basics of scripting, to advanced topics such as processes and tasks, interrupts, signals, Artifical Life plugins, and automated script restarting. It also features a full reference section with documentation on every script command. This is a complete reference, for experienced and new alike.

A special thank you to Reven and our script team!

08.Dec.04 100,000 registered community members and a new look  (29 Comments)
We've broken through the magical barrier!
Today, 08/12/2004 at 19:48:37 "Veteran C64 Elite" joined and became member number 100,000!
That is something to celebrate!

What would a celebration be without presents? So, we're giving you (and ourselves ;-)) a new outfit...


We have finally been able to replace the now rather dusty-looking layout of the Egosoft Website and give ourselves a completely new look. The primary aim is to remove the old style completely and to create a new site which provides simple navigation and a modern layout. While we were at it, we thought of ourselves a little and made the administration and maintenance of our new internet presence a little more comfortable - so now we can bring you more frequent news, which benefits everyone.

On the technical side, we didn't just want to achieve the highest possible level of browser compatibility, but also to meet the high standards of the W3C Consortium. At the last test, all web pages were validated and if I can believe the evidence of our many testers and helpers, none of the major browsers have difficulty in rendering our new site.

If you have a forum account, you can click directly on a link in the news and share your thoughts with the other community members.

If you are looking for help then you should be able to find it much more quickly.

The download pages are better structured, the design is clearer and small symbols help you select the right files - as before, this depends on your game being registered; how this works is here in our new FAQ Database

And with that we come to our next innovation - this powerful database already has over 300 answers to frequently asked questions about this website, the forums and of course the X games. More are being added daily and the translators are working hard to make the entries available in other languages. Special thanks for this go to the Argonopedia Database team who made the basic structure of this FAQ available to us (and saved me a whole load of work :)).

We are still working on it and are not 100% finished, so there will be lots of smoothing of rough edges and even though they are working hard, our translators are only human - so please be patient, if something isn't perfect yet - they are working on it!

Enough words, have a look around and have fun at http://www.egosoft.com
