Falls ihr statt nach #BaldursGate zu reisen, lieber Weltraum-Oligarch*in werden wollt, ich hab da n Guide zu #X4Foundations verfasst (€):

https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/x4-foundations-einsteiger-guide-tipps,3398577.html

Hehehehehe, run the #X4Foundations Split quest line and supported The Curbs and when they eventually took over FRF and shot ZYA to pieces I managed to snatch a Split Monitor auxiliary vessel by attacking it and driving it away from the main clusterf*** at the right moment when the rest of it's fleet was busy. Boarded it and now it's mine 🤣 Sweet payback. It's even 100% full with components n stuff! Sweet sweet credits.

Mein Baby Borone ist da!
Doch nicht alles schlecht heute.

How it started 🤝 How it's going

#XbtF #X4 #X4Foundations #X4KingdomEnd #EgoSoft

Just roughly ~23 yrs between.

Endlich mal Zeit gefunden, um in #x4foundations weiter zu spielen. Joystick wird nicht mehr erkannt.
Ich suche dann mal nach Ersatz 😫

Let my kids do some mining today. Keep that sweet profitsss coming :>

#X4Foundations

Happy Saturday, everyone. 😊 I hope it's great for you whatever you're doing with it.

23 years of playing X series games and last night was the first time I've been getting to grips with mining. Finding and Shooting rocks is perhaps the dullest activity a game can ask of you but a piece of research was stuck and my mining Captains were all chasing their own tails so I intervened personally to collect the required mineral. Job done, the in-game AI can take over from here.

#X4Foundations

This launched yesterday and so far it's been utterly delightful. The long (*LONG*) awaited return of the aquatic Boron race to the series is also x-panding the internal lore in fascinating and compelling directions. This, in a six year old game.

I'll post some non-spoilery screenshots soon, showing off the gorgeous new designs and systems.

Da is dat Ding! #x4foundations

I'm not crying, you are - they DID release #X4Foundations Kingdom End [and v6.0] at the same time as on Steam for #Linux PC on GoG 😭

Not two weeks later as usual.

I'm… out of words #EgoSoft 🙈

Calling for #X4Foundations players on #Linux for trying my pipe server linux-compat mod: https://github.com/bekopharm/x4-projects/wiki/Quick-manual

Yes, a real manual is TBA but most of us should be able to figure it out anyway.

I'm also here for questions.

I'd even be happy for input on Lua because I never wrote anything in Lua before [and that will never be a favourite of mine o0]

Why? Scratching my own itch here: Dragging out ship and targeting telemetry data - and the existing mod works on Windows only - until now.

📺 I hacked a mod for #X4Foundations to get ship telemetry and targeting data to my "Primary Buffer Panel" on Linux PC using a socket server. This is a demonstration video of my #SimPit made from cardboard on a budget usually used to play #EliteDangerous now also used for X4: Foundations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKIdr4VYId8 / https://tube.tchncs.de/w/gAmZsfTun1Ppp4RS8Sa6FM

#LinuxGaming #GamingOnLinux

Modding my #X4Foundations into using the same data format as #EliteDangerous does so I can run my #SimPit without changes. Things are coming together nicely :D

Gerade erst in meine Mail geschaut. Der Boronen DLC zu #x4foundations namens Kindom End hat ein Erscheinungsdatum. 12.04. In zwei Wochen. Cool!

Nice, release date for the next DLC on #x4foundations is apparently April 12th 🖖

And yes, the pipe server works with some minor adjustments for other _existing_ apps as well. Here is a demo of #X4ExternalApp with a data feed directly from #x4foundations - it does not use the #X4PythonPipeServer though, since that is not really needed, so I had to make some small adjustments in it's connection routine but that was like 2 lines of code 🤷

Here are the humble beginnings of a working example to read the ship status of #x4foundations in a format very similar to the Status File of #EliteDangerous

Both games are quite similar and by using a "well established" format it should be possible to use this with existing companion apps - like my own #SimPit

It uses the "Named Pipe API" of "sn_mod_support_apis" - on #Linux PC 😁 This was not supported by this MOD so far but I made it work.

Well, at least on my machine 🤓
