X3 Terran Conflict mod thoughts?

Yeah... sooner or later someone was gonna ask about it but has anyone give it any thought? I'm curious to know what the community's thoughts on this might be? I play this game a lot... a lot more then playing Sins. Though I doubt it would be wise to create a mod for it because there are so many races in the game and that means you'd hit a large brick wall with the 2 gig limit and converting the high poly count models I bet would be a huge task and undertaking, the only instances I've seen of this is with the Seven Deadly Sins mod where Dan imported some of the Boron ships to be used for the Atlantian race

If you want this mod made so badly, make it yourself.

>.> I just brought up the thought of it I didn't say I wanted it as a mod I was asking if anyone had actually thought about doing it. Besides I have no knowledge in how to mod and I don't even want to start to try I don't have the patience to go over lines and write stuff up. I was just asking a question and not requesting this mod be made and I believe I already pointed out the grounds for why it might not be made. I'd rather consider a more constructive post instead of go make it yourself post that seems a bit rude to go ahead and say. I'll let it slide as I assume you thought I was asking if anyone here actually wanted to make it

I might import some ships to use in my extra 3 races but ya 6 races really pushes Sins limits. Have not even tried X3  :S .

It's a big game and it's universe is big... two pirate factions your normal everyday pirates and Yaki pirates (the more organized pirates) Xenon (out of control AI ships) Khaak (killer reptile like bugs) Terran's (Earthlings) Argon (Long Lost cousins of the Terran's) Boron (fish/squid people) Split (War like race) Paranids (Race that thinks every other race is unholy and unclean) And lastly the Teladi (reptile traders who will do anything to make a credit with whatever they can get their hands on) Think that about sums up the list of races :P

I always came close to buying this game, but never pulled the trigger. Sounds interesting, I may have to give it a second look.

It's a good game as far as I can tell, it's even better with mods and scripts. Bit of a economic simulator with fighter simulator mixed in.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw 7DS lol. It would be cool, some of the ships are just epic

(Split and Boron are my fav :P ).

I wish someone would tell me how to import the models and textures into Sins. Myfisto gave me a guide but its all to do with Modding X3 reunion game not Sins.

If i could get the ship models, then i believe i could almost do everything else.

My plan was to do an 8th race in my Sci-fi at War mod, made up with a mixture of X3 races.

I would definately make an X3 Mod for Sins.

Its amazing you really should get it. The ship models are really good, some of the best i've seen in any game.

Considering all the races work together (more or less) to battle the Xenon, an alliance of the X races would even be justified in the backstory... as long as the Xenon and Khaak aren't part of it obviously.

And while it wasn't part of the official campaigns, a revival of the old anti-Xenon alliance to battle the Khaak would also make a lot of sense, since the Khaak attack all of them in equal measure.

 

"Argon (Long Lost cousins of the Terran's)" Weren't the Argon a mix of a local species and the survivers of the Terran fleet?

"Paranids (Race that thinks every other race is unholy and unclean)". Not all other races, only those who's number of eyes isn't dividable by three. They themselfs have three eyes of course.

 

As for getting X3, or any game of the X series, make sure you know what you are getting before deciding. The official Motto is "Trade, Fight, Build, Think", though in matters of what you do in the game it's more like "Trade, Think, Build, Fight". Terran Conflict did enable to player to succeed with far less trading than the predecessors, but there trading was absolutely necessary (especially in X-Beyond the Frontier, were you started unarmed with 100 credits).

If you like trade simulators and building your own trade company, go ahead. In many ways it's like a sandbox MMO without multiplayer.

If you like FreeSpace, WingCommander or X-Wing like space sims or expect a deep and involved story campaign, don't bother.

So can anybody tell me how to import X3 ships into Sins?

rofl

is this about the hundredth time you've asked? |-O

I sent you a link to a guide already

 

This shows how to do in reverse as well and get the ships out of game. Please figure it out.

Hey nice.... some years ago my link to that video told me it was deleted due to copyright infringement (or however you spell that damn word). Nice to see it back up again :)

*cough*

I've added an 8th race to my Sci-fi at War Mod, who happen to be the X3 Universe alliance!

I've managed to get hold of Gfs pictures of the races, the X3 icon, some ships(working in game), concept art, infocard icons and some ace loading screen wallpapers.

I'm thinking of the Split Python for the Battleship slot and the Paranid Hyperion for the Heavy frigate slot.

Anybody want to add to this thought and fill in some of the other slots?

What about some ships from the X-tended mod? Would they let you borrow some? (I really like their Terran ships...) :P

Doubt it... they hardly if ever let anyone use their models. Yes I've played the mod and talked extensively to the mod team.

Maybe the Odin (Terran Special Forces battleship) one of the capital ships, or the Tokyo (Terran Regulars Carrier) as carrier?
