"You will get more than a strongly worded leaflet campaign through your door....:p "




This is a response to some requests over cheat scripts being added to the project, and sorry to say but no cheat scripts are allowed in XTM-Plus EVER! And if I find a request for such posted in the forum I will get it deleted... no compromises as cheat scripts take away from the point of the project which is to add functionality and gameplay... not cheat.

Definition of a cheat.....


A cheat script is the following>

A script that adds a function that makes something from nothing without reason e.g.

1) Press a button; enter a code and a ship pops up from nowhere.
2) The above but applying to anything within the game including credits, wares, notoriety ECT.

Basically unless there is some notable effort involved in getting the product or something that could be said to be an achievement then it’s a cheat script.....

Cheat Vs Unbalanced....


Now there is a big difference between a Cheating script and an unbalanced script, for one a cheat script was intended to do just that... Cheat... where as an unbalanced script only needs readjusting to make in fit with the feel of XTM and the X3 universe, and there is room in the project for such.

===========================================


I know this is a bit of a disappointment for some and i Apologize for that but that’s how it has to be.


Cheers

So far everything looks good ReeverDrak ;)

Thing is I have spend so much time searching and reading about scripts in the egosoft forums that I pretty much know where to find all those informative pages and I also know a huge amount of scripts that have been posted there (I've looked at pretty much all of them I think) :lol:
