The player sector is is 2024_Player_Corp.

Not all sectors are in that file, some others, like pre and post-war comnbat sectors are in the x3_universe_war and _NOwar files. Open (through the VFS) the file maps/x3_universe.pck - you'll need to open it as a text file by selecting ALL then Text Viewer.I myself do it by manually editing the universe file with the help of the newer X3 Editor 2: I haven't used that program in a long time, you can try it and see if it still works.

You used to be able to do this mostly automatically with X3 Editor, which has a galaxy editor and could specifically change a sector's music, but I'm not sure it works with X3AP or even with modern Windows versions since it was deprecated long ago. This involves changing the map file in your install.

Drawback is that it's hard and may require a lot of manual work. Method 2: Benefit is that you change the music for a single target sector only, and any other sector which uses the same music still uses it.

Duplicate a music file from one of the other sectors, or copy in a completely new song and rename it to the correct filename 01235.mp3 (or whatever your sector's music filename is).

That's one change you'll never want to undo. In the case of the X3AP player sector file 08700.mp3 just delete it.

Rename the old file something like so you can undo your change in the future if you want.

For the X3AP player sector the file is 08700.mp3. this thread will help you for the X3TC sectors.

Find the music file for the sector in question.

Some of them have MP3 tags that show up in explorer.

Point a file manager to /soundtrack and you will see all the music files in the game - they are all 5 digit numbers dot mp3.

The drawback is that you don't just change the music setting for one sector, you change the music for every sector that uses a particular music file. There are two ways, each with their benefits and drawbacks.

I will go over it here, but careful, the mods are pretty strict about mod talk in this forum so this may get the thread moved. However, perhaps a tad crowded, being a capital world and all. )Д®DIT: Personally, I also rather like Argon Prime - nice water-bearing terrestrial planet, good music. (By the way, thanks for the question - I may set up in Heaven's Assertion in my current X3TC game, seeing as I'm playing a Paranid game, and that's already near to my primary Hub connection. Some of the Terran sectors have magnificent views, but despite being large sectors, they feel cramped due to the large Terran stations in any case, the nicest-looking ones are all without gates, which can be a serious ball-ache. Although there's lots of 'roids, it actually afforded me some decent views of the planet - not spectacular, but modestly pleasant, I guess. In a recent game, I set up in the North, near the E-gate, of New Income. However, it probably wouldn't suit your purposes, as the neighbourhood's crap (dead end within a dead end cut off from anywhere else by a Xenon sector!) The planet IS really wicked-looking, though - but mostly if you're looking to choose a site for an evil lair Potential upsides: a shipyard (but no EqD, sadly), and it's a prominent sector with traffic from Split and Boron to the East, and Paranid to the North, as well as Duke's Buccanneers are based just South in Lasting Vengeance (if playing X3AP, otherwise that sector to the South is an 'unknown' one.) Downside: your neighbours are snobbish, cliquey Paranids.ДЄlso, very striking but in a dark sense (certainly not 'bright') is Twisted Skies (if playing X3AP - in X3TC it has to be chosen as the purchased own sector in the A New Home plot). Of course it has to be a Xenon AND dead end sector.ДЇor me, Heaven's Assertion has always been one of the most breathtakingly beautiful (though I think it may have a couple of 'roids). I like Teladi Gain's lore though, a space vape hub for dem space hippies, sounds like a home for me. Sectors like Red Light, President's End, Teladi Gain(my fav so far) and Hila's Joy all look pretty nice. Great unique view but the asteroids and creepy music blew it. Light of Hope - sounds good, doesn't work. Xenon sector 347 - taught me there's no win against the Xenon but at least it did successfully offer me a long term goal, which is why I might just settle in another Xenon sector this time. Sanctity of corruption - nice planet + nebula view from the east gate. Did put ore mines on them and have them self destruct but the debris took forever to clean up. Split fire - in my opinion best scene ever from the north gate, though asteroids were annoying me. In previous playthroughs I've settled in: Xenon sectors are open for consideration. Huge bright planet(s), fancy nebula, good amount of NPC traffic
