Hey Wubbles,
There are some that say that I lack enough common sense to to think normally...let alone abnormally! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hiya Dan ...
Yes ... I have been around the SF list almost from the beginning, and yes I do recognize your name ... you are one of the more "prolific" members on the list (that's a good thing by the way) ... on the list, I use my Yahoo Id which is drohfleisch ... and unfortunately, I have not been very active there either -- again due mainly to work ... mostly I've been limited to just reviewing what goes on ...

And I would agree with our leader of this here little group ... from my scanning of the forum so far, your contribution has so far has been significant ... hopefully, I will soon be able to follow in your foot-steps ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I wouldn’t call myself the leader, which would imply sole control. Dan K is my co-author; did you get the ballot in the email? I have not received it back yet. I will send out a reminder to those who have not replied.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You are who I thought you were. And thanks for the 'kind' words.

And Wubbles, you started this! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif That makes you the closest thing to a leader we have!
Enjoy!

Re: StarFire Mod v-Beta 2
 

Yes this project is still alive; I am almost finished with and about to release Beta Build 2. Unfortunately there are far too many changes to mention here, I just wanted to bump the thread and let anyone who is interested know what the status is.

Re: StarFire Mod v-Beta 2
 

Are you having any compatability problems with V1.91?

Re: StarFire Mod v-Beta 2
 

None, and I am happy to say that Build 2 is ready to roll out for testing. I am just waiting on one final suggestion to be reviewed.

Re: StarFire Mod v-Beta 2
 

For the "newbies" (that's me, myself, and I) can you either send or post detailed instructions on what needs to be done to implement the new Build when it is available ... I'm no computer slouch, but I still need instuctions for my first attempt ...

(yes ... I am going against my "macho" tendencies and "asking for directions" ... my wife will NEVER believe it)

Re: StarFire Mod v-Beta 2
 

So first of all let me announce the launch of my first website. It is dedicated to my family and to the games StarFire and SE4G as well as my Mod. Take a few moments to browse it and give me some feedback. If I may say so myself it is not bad for a person that as of two days ago could not tell you what a parent or child page was. In that short of a time I went from knowing nothing to getting my first site up and running. As time goes by I may add some more to it but for now I think that I am done.

I have included a page for the status of the StarFire Mod but to give the Beta testers a little more info here is what is happening. All of the major revisions are done; the hold up for the release of Build 2 is that with the changes implemented for point defense weapons I decided to have a second look into the missile type weapons. From there I have brought them much closer to cannon. So now the new missile weapons need to be added in. You will also notice that before you were getting some of the special warhead types free of charge, forget it! With Beta Build 2 you will have to research and add them onto the new launchers and PAY for them! As a Last note to avoid some of the confusion that happened Last time, when I released Build 1, you will need to download the Beta Build 2 from my site. I will still send out patches for the build over email, this is only because like Last time, I will not bother to accumulate several fixes before I put out a patch. Unless it is a minor fix I will make every effort to keep all of you up to date.

And don't worry Dieter, I will make this as easy as pie! Sorry it took me so long to reply. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Shang

An excellent first site. Much better than I could do.

Now get back to work on the mod! Those of us who aren't Beta testers are waiting!
