oh right, well if your getting textid's then you probably need to add correct desc id to the laser in types/tlasers
Or, in the language file - make sure the desc is in the correct place. Its bound to be one of them

Thats the thing in Tlasers it reads fine. when I open it in X3E2 it reads the names fine. In the command section it knows the names of my weapons when I cheat add them to my ship, or when I add them to a station to sell its just in the HUD in the right hand bottom corner where the icons are displaded that it gives me the textid error.

hmm.. sounds maybe like something to do with the language file. How/where and what are you naming it in your mod?

hi there,
well usually when making a mod, you make another language file for your mod - this saves adding the large 440001.xml language file. For example 440003.xml:
When placing the xml inside the mod, are you placing like: t\440001.pck ? Im guessing you use English in your game too? as 44 is english language file only. You can check this by opening lang.dat (a small text file) with the language number that your game is using.
Its worth checking the xml, making sure the line of text you added is okay too. As X3 can be more sensitive than X3.
If its still not working, make sure your text is on the correct page inside the xml, because X3/TC wont find it and will give you an readtext error. X3 wont go searching for the text.

44001 and 44002 are both used by egosoft. The next free space is 44003, however you can use any number from 3 to 999, ie. 44055 and X3/TC will see it.

Looking good! Slowly getting a new ship together, which is always great to see.
The readtext errors are just X3/TC not finding the text inside your language file. Make sure the text is on the correct pages, as with weapons you will find a few entries about each, because its listed as a ware, factory and laser type. Its easy to add to the wrong page,

I only listed it in section 17: in the language file what other areas does it need to be listed?

page 17 should be correct. When you add entries to page 17, what number are you starting with? try starting your entries at 8000 or higher, so they are well clear of the X3 entries. Any help? Otherwise they may get overwritten.

With my model completed I am at 45,591 polys and almost the same in verticeys when I rest for x-form it nearly doubles naturally my load times are horrable. I turn it back in to a bob will it quicken up?

Load times will improve massively when turned into a compressed bod. A model that took 30 seconds to loaded (uncompressed) can load in within 0.5 second or less (depending on your PC of-course). Compressing the model is usually done as the last step, ie. its finished.

If I am using x3 mod manager does it not complile it for me if I drop a .bod file in? or should I be using x2bc to compile it first?
When trying to compile I get this from my cmd
my input
"C:\Program Files (x86)\x2bc\x2bc.exe"--compile --bob "C:\Program Files (x86)\x2bc\swordfish2.bod" "C:\Program Files (x86)\x2bc\swordfish2.bob"
I get error
Compiler - line 1, col 1- error unexpected here "cut1"
And it stops compiling. Does the same thing with stoc X3 files I converted from .bod to bod
I removed the // comments at the top of the file that dbox puts in the files now it just crashes out....
