-The "fake patch" method works best for the XRM. I do not recommend using the Plugin Manager to install the XRM as it's extremely difficult to control the order the mods are installed in which can lead to problems.

- Extract the dat/cat files and look at the other dat/cat files you have in the main AP installation folder (in your Terran Conflict\Addon directory). Rename the XRM files to a bigger number than the last ones, i.e. if the last ones are 02.dat and 02.cat rename the XRM files to 03.dat/03.cat and 04.dat/04.cat.

- It does not matter which order the two XRM "parts" are installed in, however, please note which one is which as updates may only be on one file or the other. Addon packs must be installed to higher cat/dat numbers than the base XRM.

- Copy the contents of the "director" folder to the director folder in your main AP (addon) directory. If a director folder does not exist then create one.

- Copy the contents of the "t" folder to the t folder in your main AP (addon) directory. If a t folder does not exist then create one.

- Copy the contents of the "scripts_AP" folder to the "scripts" folder in your main AP (addon) directory. If a scripts folder does not exist then create one. Overwrite any existing files.

- You will need to navigate to the \mov folder in your AP (addon) directory. you will need to locate the 00044 file and either rename, move, or delete this file. Without doing this you will not get any new custom names said by "betty".

- Before running X3AP you must open and close the Plugin Manager (if installed), regardless of which version you are running. This is so the Plugin Manager can integrate the XRM ware size changes.

- Run the game. You should get a message saying the XRM has been installed when you start a new game.

- There will be a pause for a minute or two at the start of a new game. This is the scripts allocating weapons to all the initially created jobs. This pause only happens at the very start of a new game.

-To install the hull packs, cockpit packs and background pack simply extract the contents to the AP (addon) directory and rename the hull pack or cockpit pack cat/dat to a higher number than the main XRM mod. To reload the hulls for all ships, run X3AP, enter the script editor, highlight the script "temp.xrm.hull.reload.xml" and hit "r".

- If using the XRM in conjunction with other mods, installation order may be essential. Please see the compatibility notes below for any special cases.

- To install the load screens copy the contents of "loadscr" in part 2 to the "loadscr" folder in your TC install.
