yes you can

Can you add this to a existing game & remove it again? or do you need to jump to the latest game without the mod?

I skipped the inner solar system because I didn't want to affect the balance and feel of the encounters you could have with the Terran defence fleets when you're below +10 and +20 respectively. I also didn't want to give the Terrans too much of a leg-up economically when compared with the other factions and the amount of highways they get. If you want highways in those sectors I've written a guide on how to make your own highways https://wiki.egosoft.com:1337/X4%20Foundations%20Wiki/Modding%20Support/ScriptingMD/Community%20Guides/Highways%20Modding%20Guide/

oh, I didnt think of that. makes sense and I like it though.

any reason for skipping jupiter and not doing the inner system? I mean I guess the inner system might not need them due to the scale, but I sure have been missing them in jupiter.

Yep the white colour is intentional, it was a change I made for that very reason that you note, to set it apart from the commonwealth highway colour. The Asteroid Belt highway is uni-directional because I feel it fits with the isolationist theme of the Terrans as well, they would hate a highway leading inward toward their most protected space

or at least the asteroid belt highway is white. is it also meant to only go outward towards the jupiter gate?

for anyone wondering the mod still works on 7.0 release.


anyways, are the highways intentionally white? if so I think its a clever idea because these would all be 100% terran made rather than stuff made by the ancients, so of course they would look slightly different.

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

Has what been fixed? The graphical errors stated by others I haven't been able to diagnose and suspect are more of an issue with X4 as a whole. This mod and my other highway mods should work perfectly fine with the 6.0 update

Has this been fixed?

I have the same problem, but it only happened with the saturn highway thus far.

Seems like it has something to do with GEMFX... will look into it more

looked like disabling the mods helped but just a few minutes ago i got another highway bug. Will see if it's consistent and if so, would try to post in thchnical forums...

Can you test this with vanilla highways as well to compare? Also the whole screen going black sounds like a graphical issue. My highways are constructed in the same way as vanilla highways so either its an issue with all highways or its a rare graphical issue. If you're able to reproduce this consistently and it only happens with my highways chuck another comment here detailing which particular highway it was and I'll see if I can have a look at it.

Seems like this one made a bug - after using a new highway my screen (except UI) goes black. Meanwhile i can still fly the ship and even interact with stuff....

No, all my mods except for No Explosion Damage should work perfectly with the 5.0 update and new DLC. If you have any issues though please let me know

does this need to be updated?

I've always thought similarly, that there could be a mission in a selection of sectors to build a highway. I'll have to learn how to work with md and see what is achievable.

That's great. I always felt that highways should be buildable but this is a nice workaround to a system that is just annoying to fly around.

That's a shame, hopefully they can fix it

i have had issues with the custom start, i have used it but if i just selected the ring to be removed it still removed the linear highways, but left there entry/exit structures. i did a clean install and removed all mods and still the same problem, so its a but on my end. i have left a bug submisson on the egosoft forum.

You can with the creative custom start editor (disabling the ring after universe creation is finnicky). In the Universe tab set Highway Ring to "no" (none of my highway rings have the "ring tag" and should still be enabled).

no worries dude, your mod is great either way.
but being a pain in the ass. is there a way to use your mods, and not have the "ring" highway going through central systems?

Well I've had a bit of a poke around with expanded sectors and unfortunately its pretty prohibitive for me to adapt my mods to it sorry

There might be but I haven't used the mod so I'm not sure what changes I would need to make just yet or how long it would take. Additionally, scaling highways produces unintended effects especially in relation to speed that complicates things immensely. Ultimately, I'll have a look but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get it to work sorry.

these mods for highways are great, is there any way to get them to run with expanded sectorsx2?

You're very welcome, its always nice to encounter people who like highways :)

hahaha...yeah i like highways and since the new ones added from your mod are missing those billboards so they are not consistent with the vanilla ones. Just me being nitpicking though. Thanks for your work :)

The little L shape ones should spawn along the Highways (If they aren't there isn't too much I can do to fix that sorry) and I could have used the ring shape billboard ones but I felt they were a bit excessive, its surprising to encounter someone who likes the billboards.

Anyways to add those structures/billboards to the highways? for aesthetics reason :)
