Is this project still on or what? its been over a month and no update or anything...I miss my custom ships. Are there any mods out there that adds custom ships that i can change the stats on?

A month is not a lot of time.

It will be done when Cycrow gets it done. Not before, not after, just then.

Patience Grasshopper.

In the meantime, I think you will find at least 3 new ships mods in the first 2 pages of the list if you bothered looking for them.

Haha. Some people like me don't like frontal assault ships very much. (M.A.R.S.

) The Thanatos and Lusca are both beautiful ships, but I just simply couldn't play them after M.A.R.S.

I'm patiently waiting for an update that includes the ship editor. Until then...

Which list? Are you refering to this forum thread?

Has anyone actually written to and received from Cycrow? He hasn't posted since early January!!

Hope he is OK.

I think he was referring to the S & M forum.

apricotslice · Post by **apricotslice** » Tue, 10. Feb 09, 13:57

Yes.

I assume Cycrow has been sucked back into real life. Holidays or something. Everyone needs a break from the game at some point, so we cant deny him one given his considerable input most of the time.

Hi,

Until Cycrow gets back from RL, I brutally hacked his X3PMInstaller.exe and stopped it from deleting 9001-L*.xml when it "cleans up" after just generating it. Open the exe in your favourite hex editor and change the 9001-L* string (at roughly 0x1b54a0) to something else. Now, even though it still crashes with the "pure function call" I get to keep the generated PM wares file and hopefully the plugman.getware calls will work again. Need that SCS badly.

Regards,
SG

@TERRAN-CONFLICTOR : Great.

Hope you publish the "Ship Porting Guide for Dummies" version as well.

Anything needing more than a cut n paste is more involved than I want to deal with.

So I got BSE and SCS to work together (I think) though the page 9001 deletion issue was only part of it. [jhletone - this is related to plugin manager, hence me posting here]

I was able to get SCS working fine when BSE was not installed (as previously mentioned on this thread). I then installed BSE and removed bits of it piecemeal, up to the point of manually completely removing all it's scripts, including the setup one. None of this brought SCS back to life. Once I uninstalled it using X3PMInstaller though, SCS sprang back into life.

I think this is a problem with the 9001 page file written by the installer, or the plugman.getware search that uses it. If I take a copy of the working 9001 file when BSE is not installed, then install BSE and overwrite the new 9001 file with the saved one, then I get both SCS and BSE running. BSE doesn't actually use any custom wares, so I'm not sure what will be broken by not having it in the 9001 page. From what I can see it shows in the config manager OK. Still need to check that NPC ships are still bailing OK.

Anyhow - enough hackery for now and on with playing the game.

[Edit - when I say BSE I mean NPC Bailing Addon by ThisIsHarsh which is here...

Only just moved from X3R to X3TC so my mind is still a bit rooted in the past.]
