Not dynamically with the tools available in the game and the MD. It would be possible to have an external program that could use script outputs to write highways that you could then add to your game, a lot of this process would be manual though.

Within the functionality of the game and the scripts the best you could do is similar to the Boron Highway mission where there is a pre-made highway that you complete a mission to activate.

Would it be possible to create a mod that would allow to BUILD highways in the game?

I confirm this still works for 7.00 beta, but need more testing as I don't know if I already visited all, the game doesn't crash though

It would still like a circular super highway in The Void and it would be super cool.

Yeah okay, I'll look at doing that when I get the time

Could you maybe readjust the highway in Bright Promise? As it is now I have to manually steer when coming from Trinity Sanctrum III as it is behind the gate. Would be appreciated.

@Kelven here's the link to the write-up on the X4 wiki https://www.egosoft.com:8444/confluence/display/X4WIKI/Highways+Modding+Guide

That'd be cool if you could do a write-up if you have the time. I was fooling around with the files around a month ago but couldn't figure out how it all worked so I gave up. I'll try again with the info you provided and see if I can get it this time around, thanks!

Sorry for the late reply mate, feel free to have a look inside my mods. The general gist of how the highways are made is zone_highways.xml that represents each highway as a spline, sectors.xml which uses a highway template from zone_highways and puts in the sector. I'll look to do a full write-up at some point

I've been wanting to add a highway to my production sector and was trying to google how to do it when I found your mods.

Would you be able to give me a quick idea of how it's done? Would I be able to download one of your mods and edit the ext_01.dat myself to add one somewhere?

one of the most needed mods together with all the other highways you made

Been using the mod for a while now and gotta say I'll never be able to play without it. It adds so much variety/flavour to the sectors.

Yep, perfectly safe to add and remove at any time :)
Peanutcat 13 Jan, 2022 @ 5:23pm 
Is the mod safe to remove from savegames?

Cool mod ! Thank you
