[SW3] [MOD] - The SW3.Expansion Mod - 0.5.3G

[nocalora29]

Well, I've tried to install an completely new installation of SW using Skidrow's Release.

and it turns out it works without any problems, well nothing like that happened of what you have described, kind of an silly question but I have to ask this:

Did the original game .exe work even before you installed the mod?, if it really did work before applying the mod's files, there must have been something something that corrupted the .7z archive while you were downloading, or some files just were wrongly installed, thats also an possibility.

Oh and make sure you run the newest installment of 7Zip, since the .7z file format can only be read perfectly by very few other Archivers, WinRar has the capabilities it seems, I don't know of any other tbh.

The last possible reason as of why it doesn't work could be just some missing DLL's, like not having DirectX 9 Jun2010 which sw3 seemingly uses, I don't say it needs to have this version, but its likely.

Eitherway, I hope you resolve this issue ^^.

PS: Heres the Magnet Link for the Release I've used.

Hey everyone, Im just announcing that there will be an Minor update this week, which addresses mostly Bugs and The Templars and also polishment of the "Elite Templars", I have some plans for the Templar faction, I also plan to actually make some new systems which the Templars completely control, but it won't make it into this update.

-They also have been integrated into the Corporate Service Menu, with an respectable price.


And also, if anyone else has got Ideas for interesting high-tech weapons/Missiles, let me know ASAP.

-Credits also got updated, check them out if you want to know who created those badass sounds.

*New Templar Weapons List
*(T) Marked = Turret compatible
-"Sancti Missionem / Holy Discharge" - Autocannon - Damage: 65 x16
-"Pulsans Sol / Pulsating Sun" - Pulse laser - Damage: 125 x7 (T)
-"Liquefacio / Desintegrator" - Particle accelerator - Damage: 1024 (T)
-"Coronam / Red Crown" - Beam laser - Damage: 80 x20 (It was tough to make an "consistent" beam, but I think this will work out) (T)
-"Sanctum Gladium / Holy Sword" - Gattling laser - Damage: 32 x32 (Thanks for the idea, Lotrek) (T)
-Next up: Whatever I come up

I will just leave this here...

it took me a really long while to actually learn how to create new PFX for weapons, it definitely took too long, but it was worth it

Nice beam loving! Can't wait to test them out.
I would like to see some more machine gun type options. The only variation now is just faster rate of fire or more base damage. What i wouldn't give for AP, Explosive or Tracer/Incendiary rounds. Just a thought.

Anyway, I'll give it a whirl once the next update drops. And as always, thanks for keeping it alive.

Can you tell me if i need to install your mod from the first version and update it all the way to the latest version or i only need the latest files. I just can't make your mod work. thanks in advance.

[nocalora29]

Machine guns... thats an nice idea, gonna look into it, might even consider doing an custom 3d model for this one.

@tyrotrela

You just need the newest files, which are MAIN and RESOURCES, but you have to install RESOURCES first, after that juse copy&paste the MAIN stuff in.

If it still does not work, feel free to ask for more help.

[tyrotrela]

Thank you for clarifying this, i will try to install resources first this time around.

The method worked and i got o play for a while, all the changes are awesome and i really like the random massacres and the enemy ai is challenging on hard difficulty, but i can't find those new ships you said you added, all i get are the original ships added by goblin. Is it because i manually installed the mod?

PS. The x8 fix.exe is working fine except some crashes every now and then.

PPS. sometimes stashions offer no items BUT i can sell at full price EVERY item. It resets after re docking.

PPS. The merc base in the early mission after you ignore Heretic disapears and won't allow the mission to progress, thus i had to go with Heretic.

[nocalora29]

Do you mean the Templar ships?, they aren't added yet, I plan to include either on Friday, or maybe (when it takes a bit longer) on saturday.

Crashes every now and then?, did this appear early on when you were doing the mission where you also get your 2nd Mothership?, because there have been crashes for a long time now in that area, and I have no idea why.

Which stations in particular?, stations not selling items seems like an pretty huge bug, I would love to have the LOGFile.txt to see what happened there.

The merc base disappearing also seems like an huge bug, it would be very kind of you to post the contents of your LOGfile.txt on pastebin.com and sending me the link to view it, im going to try to replicate the bugs you encountered eitherway.

[tyrotrela]

my Log file is empty. I dunno i think i messed up the installation somehow.

The templar fighters work fine, unless you are referring to other templar ships

The first crash happened with the second and third mothership, while i was grinding exp

Random stations apparently, i thought it happened while transfering a fighter from the mothership to the hold, since it shows an empty panel right after the transfer, it forces the station to show empty stores. but i can't verify that yet, will try to replicate it in more systems

also the elephant fighter that the msf use has a big box on top of it, white and red, not sure if it has a turret or what, and another msf ship ( small and with a lot of turrets appears white all over except the turrets)

i will try to find more bugs, but im not even sure if i installed your mod correctly still...
