Zurak Beginner Posts 12	# Thread - 2010-07-26 at 11:12 PM Im making this thread so that those who are having install problems can fix them and find a common thread. I installed mine, renamed the rename files ( rename dat to 22) which was my new highest. i used plugin manager to disable all mods. game loads, stalls for a long time, then every key is the googles zoom....i got zoomed in really far. i have my copy through steam so im just going to uninstall it and redownload after deleting all mod programs. If it works then we know even disabling all mods isent enough. If it doesent looks like a steam install might be a problem since they split up file locations a little. Will update my post once i figure it out. Gotta go to work soon for 12 hours so it wont be until tomorrow until i post my fix. *UPDATE* After i disabled my mods it did delete a bunch of dat files. so i had to rename down to 13. Appears to work now without redownloading. just gotta know that adding and disabling mods renames files. Thanks for the tip guys! Now i can go blow up B5 instead of watching croxis get owned by raiders on xfire ;p Last edit by Zurak at 2010-07-26 at 11:37 PM (1x Edited)

Highest I've ever had is 15 and that was mod related. If you have a bare install it should make - I believe - up to 11, if you name our file to 12 then it should work fine. I doubt making a file 22 and then disabling everything would work as it would (probably) move all the 12-21 files elsewhere and thereby the renaming would be false anyway.

shiv Beginner Posts 19	# Answer: 3 - 2010-07-26 at 11:48 PM might class this as a bug but deffinatly a mistake on my part, when installing the mod i forgot to change it to the right directory now having problems uninstalling it, reinstalling keeps putting it in the same directory without a chance to change it. No joy at uninstalling it atm, resorting to manual installation of the files... Ok that didn't work so going to uninstall the game and install it to the directory that the mods installing to, serve me right for not double checking where the game was installed Last edit by shiv at 2010-07-27 at 12:16 AM (2x Edited)

Zagloba Beginner Posts 3	# Answer: 6 - 2010-07-27 at 2:13 AM Aie. It appears none of you are mac users... I'd love to try to get it working here. I can unpack the exe, but the contents are not organized in any way that makes sense to me: /OFFLINE/1B6F6470/D5BC3498/b5.LightTheHy perDark.xml and such. Is it possible there might be an upload of a straight zip file? Or perhaps one might post where all these files go? Or are mac users just screwed... Any attempt is much appreciated.

Zagloba Beginner Posts 3	# Answer: 9 - 2010-07-27 at 4:07 PM WooHoo! Its working. So yes this will all work with a mac. There are some problems due to file type differences. Only problem I'm still having is no voices. Which files might contain that information?

SAVOTW Moderator Posts 1519	# Answer: 10 - 2010-07-27 at 4:14 PM They are in the mov folder .dat and .pck files. One contains the actual recording of voices(00144.dat) the other contains the textfile for finding the sounds 00044.pck.

Zagloba Beginner Posts 3	# Answer: 12 - 2010-07-27 at 6:11 PM I am running in the english version. In fact, I don't even have a lang.dat file anywhere. That not part of the mod package is it? I've also now realized that there are no wares for sale anywhere, I can't complete the first mission. I suspect its due to the translation over to mac. I had to zip some files as .pck to get the jump gates working, and I'm trying to see if I need to do that to anything else. I'll be back once I have trade and sound working, just incase there are any other mac users out there.

LoneRanger Try to beat me Location: DO Posts 141	# Answer: 14 - 2010-07-27 at 7:29 PM Hi SAVOTW,I think Ive done something wrong but I dont now what. Ive reinstall X3TC and patched it up to 2.7.1 and installed cycrows cheatpacage before the demo. My problem is that XTC is not changing. Or is it because that XTC is in german and the demo in english, or because that ive installed the bonus packages??Hm I dont now,please help me when you had time.In the meantime I will try it out myself.

SAVOTW Moderator Posts 1519	# Answer: 15 - 2010-07-27 at 8:31 PM Hi, sorry your having trouble getting it working. I can olny suggest double checking that; a) you installed to the right place i.e. TC directory b) that you do not have any mods running as they will mess up this total conversion c)That you edit the lang.dat file as Syrel suggests for german users of the game in the errors topic d) Did you also rename the cat and dat files known as renumberme? to be the largest numbered cat/dats in the TC directory. Short of this I'm not sure where the problem may be, Sorry. EDIT: CAN U SEE OUR DIRECTOR/CUTSCENE FOLDERS IN THE MAIN tc DIRECTORY..IF NOT THEN IT HASN'T INSTALLED.

lordlangford Beginner Posts 3	# Answer: 17 - 2010-07-28 at 12:01 PM I have an error when running this game, I have fresh installed up to 2.7.1 (english ver) ran the .exe version of the mod, which has sucessfully installed to the Xtc directory. renamed to 13.dat & 13.cat As i can tell this is all i need to do, so i run the game, on running i see unmodded XTC (there was no mod package to select on splash screen) the only notable diffrence is sinclare's voice has replaced the intro music... but when i go new game & select one of teh game types E.g. Terran Defender i get vanilla game that freezes untill i kill the process. This is teh only mod i have had trouble with any help is apreciated.
