DeadAir Scripts (X4 9.x compat fork)

DeadAir Scripts — DA Classic v2. 0. 2 (Localization Fix Pass)

Community-maintained continuation of DeadAir Scripts (aka Dynamic Universe) by DeadAirRT under the GPL-3. 0 licence he granted at retirement in September 2025. Full DA feature set intact, tested on X4 9. 0 release.

NEW in v2. 0. 2 — Localization fix pass

A QA sweep over the 12-language localization (added in v2. 0. 1): corrected a handful of UI strings that could display a raw placeholder or a leftover translator note in-game (including the "DA Trade Optimizer" menu tab, which showed a placeholder in every non-English language), and verified full key-parity, %s placeholder, and template-ref integrity across all 12 languages. No code or gameplay changes.

Localization — 12 languages

Every UI string, menu label, and description translated by native speakers into all 12 languages X4 supports:

• []Русский (RU)[/]

  []Français (FR)[/]

  []Español (ES)[/]

  []Italiano (IT)[/]

  []Čeština (CZ)[/]

  []English UK[/]

  []Polski (PL)[/]

  []Deutsch (DE)[/]

  []Português (Brasil) (PT-BR)[/]

  []日本語 (JA)[/]

  []한국어 (KO)[/]

  []简体中文 (ZH-CN)[/]

  []繁體中文 (ZH-TW)[/]

  Storefront strings (mod name + description in X4 Extension List) + full runtime UI (713 entries) both localized. Translations reviewed via LLM native-speaker pass + adversarial verification for translation quality, terminology consistency, and template ref preservation. Historical quotes (IDs 3110-3200) intentionally kept in original English to preserve cultural context.

  v2. 0. 0 Baseline — Dynamic modded-faction support

  DA's Jobs Expeditions system previously used a hardcoded 8-vanilla-faction list at Setup. This fork populates the list dynamically from all `tag.claimspace` factions — including modded ones — at new-game start. Combined with our companion compat mods for popular faction expansions, modded factions get full DA integration from turn 1:

  • []mlog_da_apus_compat — Full DA integration for Apus Stellar Treaty (Cyber1j1e): 1 expedition XL flagship + 27 SST jobs (Critical/Core/Border/Contested Sector Patrol + L/M Trader/Miner/Gas Miner). Verified via 5. 5h soak — 30+ SST ships spawned, XL Constellation flagship on patrol.[/]

    []mlog_da_etw_compat — Full DA integration for all 3 Eternal Twilight Expansion factions (GRunaah): 3 expedition XL flagships + 81 SST jobs total.[/]

    Additional compat mods for The Ancients, Rise of the Ossian Raider, and other faction mods can be added via our DA SST Compat Generator Python tool — ~30 minutes per new modded faction from download to deployed compat.

    What it does

    Adds the full DeadAir dynamic-universe layer on top of vanilla X4:

    • []Dynamic War — periodic AI-to-AI relation shifts. Six event types from soft nudges to instant max-relation flips.[/]

      []Dynamic News — logbook + notification feed for galaxy-scale events (sector ownership, station events, relation shifts).[/]

      []Xenon Evolution — Xenon adaptively upgrade ships and shipyards. 10 levels × 6 categories. At L1/3/5 Xenon expand shipyards.[/]

      []Station Fill — top up trade stations, shipyards, and wharves at adjustable intervals.[/]

      []Jobs Expeditions — long-range attack fleets similar to Terran Interventions. Dynamic for modded factions.[/]

      []Jobs Smart Sector Tags (SST) — sectors classified as Critical / Core / Border / Contested. Modded factions get full SST rows in Jobs Quotas menu with matching compat mod.[/]

      []Blueprint Scanning — police assets scan enemy ships for blueprint fragments.[/]

      []In-game menu — every subsystem is toggleable and configurable, now in your language.[/]
