http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif You amaze me CK. You really do. I have seen a lot of the stuff that you originally did for the STM, and now for the SFE mod and it just blows me away as to the depth that you have gone to make the mod. I wish that I had 1/10th the dedication to attention to detail that you have. My God, how do you find the time to it all?

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

Well, I only started about 18 months ago or so. My biggest problem is nitpicking and changing things around constantly - like for example the most recent changes where I separated all the fighter and troop components or when I changed the definition of the resources and had to re-value almost all the components again.

On the bright side, almost every component listed on the site is now an actually data file entry.

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

If I did not know any better I would say that you are a profectionist. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I mean that in a kind way as I wish I had a lot more of it in mean and a lot less of "oh well, its good enough for government work" mantality.

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

I've finished and uploaded the remainder of the technology pages, with the exception of the general facilities page. Perhaps some of you will be kind and explore the racial technologies and post some comments. Tomorrow, I'll go through and update the ship pages with the proper stats, and also add the general facilities.

Basically, items that have "data pending" are the unfinished or unentered components etc., that need to finished before I can post anything for download. Getting rid of those pendings is my primary task for the next week!

Enjoy.

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

The facilities technology page has been uploaded, so now that entire section is right up to date.

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

Man how do you find the time with school, work, wife, and kid?

Any idea of when you will have the mod ready for a beta? Oh ya, any new ship images?

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

Kid? Do you know something I don't??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Right now I just have work and no school until September so that helps with free time. I need to fill in those data pendings (mostly racial facility stuffs) and then it'll be quite playable as intended. I did hope to have the data files out earlier but then I made two major changes to resources and unit components, plus the normal nitpicking - hence now is March.

Anyway, people can e-mail me and I don't mind sending them my Excel spreadsheet - it has everything in the mod listed and gives a good feel of how the mod is setup.

I've been trying to do a few ships in 3d Max with some success (but no textures yet) to improve the mod's future portability for SE:V! I still might do components/characters in Moray/Pov-Ray though since I'm a lot faster with that combination and the fact I just need images.

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

I guess its my bad, but it seems i cant find the link to get the mod information on your page. I choose "mods", and thats about it. No pages for technology or facilites like you mention. Please enlighten me. im so stupid lol.

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

Did you visit "Captain Kwok's Space Empires Depot" or "Space Food Empires?" Try the "Space Food Empires" link.

Kwok, you need a favicon for your site. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Space Food Empires!
 

Hmm. That's odd. I did load up the mods page of my Space Empires Depot with 3 links to the mod website. That, or follow the link in my signature - unless maybe you turned those off. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
