X2: The Threat

[Derfud]

Is EV Nova 3D? I didn't think so...

[Searo]

Does X2 have 6 different plotlines, around a hundred different fully pilotable by the player ships, several hundred fully usable by the player weapons, and an excellent storyline that is movie material in some cases?

Didn't think so.

And you talk about graphics....

[Derfud]

Does learoy the shareware enforcer kill you in X2 the threat? Didn't think so. Besides, what is the point in piloting ships unless you can actually see out of the cockpit.

[Dharkbayne]

indeed, X2 is EXTREMELY immersive.

Actually, here, start from hitting enter to open the menu and go from there to where you need a screen shot of. There are way too many menus

I'm honestly beggining to suspect that I simply don't have access to the menu I need to give ship orders, which strikes me as odd.

[Dharkbayne]

Press S C and it should go to the command window

[Mr1337Duck]

Then 1 should be navigation, and you could, say, tell it to dock at a nearby station to test it out.

i so wanna get this game, but im a poor bastard scrounging up money for Steel Battalion.

[Derfud]

You need to select the ship you want to give orders to under the "owned property" menu. Then from there you can issue orders.

Ok, that's what I thought you meant. That's the problem though, I can't issue orders. When I go in to the ship's command console it's set on [none] for current order and when I go into the broadcast menu I can select broadcast to all M5/M4/M3/etc. on three different lines but I once I get into that screen all the options like [dock with...] and grayed out and I can't select them.

I'll get you some screenshot of everything from the specific ships command console on (command console, broadcast and orders screen) as soon as I can take it and get it hosted.

[Infernus]

well I did want to buy it... but the store I went to didn't have it... and I'm just to damn lazy to go somewhere else...

Got the pics Derf, once Gerbil lets me know the links I'll toss em up. I think I found the problem by comapring to the manual though. On the command console screen there should normally be other options under "1 None" like "2 Navigation". Those simply aren't there for me, or rather the only one that comes up is "1 None". No idea why as I have nav software installed on all three ships but it just doesn't show. Only thing I can think of is to try uninstalling again, doing a naked dance around my PC while playing drums and then reinstalling. Oh well now that I think I've identified the specific problem, off to the Egosoft forums to see if anyone else has encountered this >_<

On a side note I fired up Freelancer in 1600x1200 and found out not only that it runs smooth as glass in that res on the new machine but that the game can get even prettier than it was before

[Happy lil Elf]

Ok, I think I may have solved the mystery with some help off the Egosoft forums. Apparently in your Scripts folder there are supposed to be somewhere around 123 files.

I have 10 in mine. That's right, 10.

That certainly explains why I was having trouble just about every tutorial I tried in addition to missing a ton of commands in game. Time to try another reinstall I guess. If that doesn't work anyone wanna host me their scripts folder?

[Dharkbayne]

If it doesn't work, I could send you mine, I could either host it, or you can come on the IRC channel and I'll DCC it to ya

[Happy lil Elf]

Worked this time. I guess 5th time's the charm for reinstalling Thanks for the offer though Dhark
