Terran Conflict X3; Extreme Addiction!

[FengZ]

careful with using them cheats...it'll kill your addiction fast. Cuz it removes the "need to work to get something better" aspect of gameplay....which is the key in these types of simulations...

i remember using a cheat in Civilization 4...and soon all my cities were rich and well protected by tanks/planes, etc...i was the power of all...then there was no challenge anymore and it got really boring...deleted the game soon after.

Roger that and I hear yah.

This already happened and I lost my drive as I didnt need to make money anymore, which was the addiction in the first place; obtaining that which I needed to make myself better, and that 'high' from accomplishment.

But.. I decided to try a new avenue which is to see what all the game can do. I want to make some stations and get things animated. I also kept my addiction of making funds (credits) which still gives me that mild high of accomplishment. I will probably figure a way to create a fleet of freighters running trade routes. (I just need to figure out how to get those animated, if there is even a way).

I did consider having a seperate installation of the game just for this when I was overwhelmed at the loss of 'need for trade'. I still might do that.


This even hit me inside, lol... My 'Christian' beliefs were tested. I am not cheating anyone, so I cannot say I am stealing. I want to learn more of this game and do not have months to come up with the funds for obtaining certain ships and stations, though the reward of that 'high' of accomplishment is not as moderate now, lol..

Must be a very interesting game, I have not started it yet, my new copy is sitting on my desk.

I upgraded my OSX to Snow - first.

I might load it tonight on a Dell computer XP, and see how it delivers...

I know myself, I am easily get carried away...

Hey ChaCha,

I tried it on my hp Laptop and it was horrible. Unplayable. Its an older hp though, about 2 years old, and laptops arent known for being gaming computers unless its something crazy like a Alienware.

Even on my iMac 24, it can stutter now and then.

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,
LD

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?

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

[Lionheart]

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.




Time for a road trip! lol...

[Lionheart]

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.

Loaded up super tuning, hull & shield rebuild and universal satellites.
