- | ====== New Installation ====== | ||
- | Once you have download the file, either a Zip or a RAR archive you will need a tool like WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip, etc to unpack it in your X3 Terran Conflict game folder. If you don't know where it is located, it's usually in //Program Files/Egosoft/X3TC//. Overwrite existing files if needed. | ||
- | |||
- | Start X3 and load your savegame (or start a new game). If you're installing a script (like Anarkis Defense System) you should receive a confirmation message. If you have installed a plugin (like Pirate Guild), you will need to go to your Artificial Life menu ( [Esc] / Gameplay / Artificial Life ). Look for the line relevant to the plugin you've just installed. Enable it. You will receive a confirmation window telling you everything is Ok. | ||
