Re: [PROGRAM] X Plugin Manager : V1.63 : 2022-08-06
The download is stopped by the Microsoft Edge browser but it is possible to download. I clicked on the download symbol, the downwards pointing arrow among the tools, on my pc its placed between the logg and basics about the browser. There you click on the three dots, the ... after the warning message telling you the download was blocked as unsecure by Microsoft Edge, and choose to download anyway. For the three dots to show up you need to hold your mouse arrow on the message. I hope this helps as it worked for me.

There is currently an issue with the plugin manager installing X3 Reunion scripts.
This should be fixed in the next version

Alr cool, now i can add mods and scripts. Sadly the plug in manager still insta crashes whenever i try to run X3R. The plugin manager crashes together with the game. Im using steam 2.5b version that runs fine without the plugin manager
That said, i seems non of my X games seem to start with the plugin manager right now. Nether X3 TC or X3 AP or X2
Is there a link to an older version somewhere? i used the manager successfuly for multiple 100 hours in the past already.

You don't actually need to run the game via the plugin manager. Just close it, then run the game manually will still work (as long as the plugin manager is closed before you start the game)

I see, yes that way it works, its just quite inconvenient if there is an incompatible script. Anyway now that it works i can figure the rest out myself, thank you!

Re: [PROGRAM] X Plugin Manager : V1.85 : 2023-09-16
I need help getting this manager to work right.
I decided to comeback and play again on my Windows 10 system albeit I'm running the game through GOG instead of Steam this time (I prefer less DRM). I installed this plugin manager as I did in the past. Install goes fine besides Windows Defender thinking the installer is suspicious but I worked around that. But now every time I try to open the plugin manager I get a momentary glimpse of the plug manager's loading splash on screen before it vanishes. Meanwhile, the plugin manager sits on my taskbar as if it were running, but if i click it no window pops up. If I hover over the manager's icon on the taskbar the mini popup only shows a white rectangle.
In short, the manager is unusable to me due to it crashing on startup and I had no option but to make an account on this forum to ask for help.

Works without problems. If your antivirus somehow blocks PM, add it to the exceptions or try disabling Windows Defender completely and check the operation of PM.
After installing the mods, you need to close PM and then start the game.

You try to delete the data file which will reset it back to default.
The pluginmanager.dat file is found in My Documents/Egosoft
Incase there's something corrupt in there oreventing it from opening

Re: [PROGRAM] X Plugin Manager : V1.85 : 2023-09-16
I'm back again with a new problem. This time the problem is updating the manager instead of getting it to run.
I open up the advanced version of the plugin manager. It works well and I reach the menu. A popup for an update happens that states this:
If I press "Quit" the program closes just as described in the window. If I press "Continue", the auto updater reopens saying that it is downloading "XPluginManager_Update.exe" with "File Size: Unknown", but the progress bar does not move. If I exit out of the auto updater window, the auto updater closes and the manager reopens and displays the update prompt shown at the beginning of this sequence of events.
Any help would be appreciated.
I open up the advanced version of the plugin manager. It works well and I reach the menu. A popup for an update happens that states this:
This comes with "Yes" and "No" buttons. I click "Yes". The manager menu closes along with update popup. The auto updater pops up and downloads the file. UAC pops up asking me if I want to run the SPK updater. I click "Yes". A setup window opens asking me to "Click Install to continue with the installation". I click install. The progress bar moves a little bit before the window closes and a "Microsoft .NET Framework" error window pops up stating:New version of SPK Libraries available
Current = 2.45
New Version = 2.46
New version of the X-Universe Plugin Manager Advanced available
Current = V1.85
New Version = V1.86
Do You wish to download and install it?
The window comes with a details tab which provides the following log:Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

There was an issue with the auto updater in previous version. So you will have to download and install the full version. It should be fixed going forward however

Re: [PROGRAM] X Plugin Manager : V1.85 : 2023-09-16
I'm new to the X games and to the X Plugin Manager. Just started playing X3 Reunion which I absolutely love.
I read the comments on the X Plugin Manager, which said that the Extended Mod Package (EMP) is incorporated into the Manager. Just wondering if there's anything I need to activate it, or is it automatically activated when installing the X Plugin Manager. I noticed that the install also comes with Package Explorer which has a lot of scripts including a 'Required' folder. Is there anything I need to do with this.
Thanks so much for all your help.

Re: [PROGRAM] X Plugin Manager : V1.85 : 2023-09-16
the EMP ware file is automatically generated by the PluginManager. You dont need to do anything other than switch it to Modified Mode.
the Required folder is just a set of library scripts that are installed automatically (These are generally used by alot of other scripts). Any packages in there will be installed when ever you add a new game directory.
The other ones are just optional, the Package Browser can also contain additional scripts that you can download, based on which ones you have already installed

Malwarebytes is back to quarantining the plugin manager executable. Is there a fix for this?

i can see if i can change the compression used, that sometimes fixes it.
Unless its just detecting it as a new program, then that will only fix once enough people start running it

Re: [PROGRAM] X Plugin Manager : V1.87 : 2024-01-06
Cycrow. Is there a way to download somewhere the previous X plugin manager 1.531 ? Precisely a non install - 7zip extract and use, version of it's Creator tool?
I have a problem with the Creator in X plugin manager 1.87. When I want to edit a ship, in ship data customize ship, after clicking save, the creator is auto deleting all the text below "Allow Edit" leaving only : "0;"
However the old version of the creator described above is working fine.
(X3R and X3TC games).
Unfortunately having to reinstall all the time again for a sec the old plugin manager just for it's creator tool, then the new one again is not very effective in function of time spent on this.
Unfortunately The creator from the plugin manager is not working without installing the whole package.
