Hey David

Orginal posted by Atrocities
I will post the new splash screen for download in a few days. I am working on finalizing the 1.4.0 Version of the mod.


Super job with the Star trek Intro, David.

alarikf,

The image mods have gaps in them for areas of expansion. Those gaps will not hurt the game or cause errors unless a mod file is directed to that image.

I just sent Suicide Junkie a link to add an additional 60 facilities to the facilities image mod.

These images, the ones I will use for the STM will be included in the mod. However once he gets around to updating the Facilities Image mod you will want to update to his latest Version.

I wrote a post here a few hours ago... now where the hell did it go? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

alarikf, a follow up.

There are four components to the image mod.

Combat
Planets
Components
Facilities

When updating you want the one with the HIGHEST revision number. Example (v1.17)

After you download a paticular Image Mod component pack, simply unzip it and install it in your base SE IV pictures folder.

This way all mods will have access to the new images.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

There are actually 5 packs for the Image Mod. The Events Pack is rather recent, and I don't think any mods use it (save the B5 Mod where the images came from, but they are named differently).

Id like to see more expanded tech trees ie 6 levels of research centres etc. Make the game Last longer in terms of tech progression.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I have plans for the entire tech tree system, TNZ hit on it a while back and I thought it was an excellent idea and I have taken it one step further.

More on this later, much later I am afraid.

The problem that I have now is this:

A. I can release the 1.4.0 Version, thus screwing up everyones games, or -
B. Sit on it and keep adding things. Most of what I have done are minor tweaks and cosmetic detail fixes.

I am opting to hold off on releasing the mod as I have more work, by that I mean more tweaking to do.

I want to finish the Klingon set, and then do a nice Romulan one as well. I really do hate the current Romulan set.

Don't get me wrong, BOTF was a damn fine game, and those images have served well for many years now, I know I captured them (SHhhhhhhhh), but I am ready for newer ones.

If any one would like to try and make new racial portraits for the mod that would be great.

Kwok had made a bajillion new planets for the mod, but unfortuneatly those images were lost. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Additionally, I have a revamp coming once the new Patch is out for SE IV. I will finally be able to use the ship classes, and only those ship classes, in the mod. This means I can cut a lot of fat off of the mod by ditching unused images from each race.

The questions do remain though, do we want to keep Carriers and fighters or get rid of them completely?

Right now if I were to die, the mod could be picked up by someone and continued on until SE V came out. So I don't worry much about things because no matter what I do, it can be fixed by others. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I vote for holding off on releasing the updated mod. Simply because it would screw up all my saved games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I'd say hold off on releasing the next Version - I'll have a number of suggestions once we finish our Trek game.
