Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

oh, just forget that, I can't seem to upload anything to my website... want me to email the mod to you? (I'd send it now but it IS 2.3MB...)

Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

Huuh, you didn't put any link !!
2 Mb is really not a problem for me, I'm on broadband ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Put it where you want ... In the Mod forum (only) you have an upload file option, else email it at pdifolco@wanadoo.fr
I can also host the file thereafter (link only, I have webspace but no pages ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )
Let me have a look / play it solo before starting a game (I don't like playing humans "blind" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

OK, how do I post a file to the mods forum? I don't see any attachment button there...

Oh, and by the way, once you finally do get the file, one way or another, if you want to play around with it a bit, don't start with low tech level because then you can't build any ships without preliminary research! (I just thought I'd leave that option available... it was in MOO2...)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Once in the Mod forum, hit reply, then look to the left for an "upload file" option.

Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

Thanks! Actually I tried that now and I had a little trouble with it so I just thought to post the mod up at PBW's file archive. Just look under "SE4 mods", it's the Last one in the list :-)

Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

Ed,
I did get the file at SEIV, if you have problems uploading to the mod forum I can do it for you.

I just browsed the files, and there are things I like already :
* the reduced sizes
* the tech tree, with its clean categories instead of the standard mess http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif !

I'll launch a solo game soon to see your changes, then will try modding some AI (I'm a newbie in that field however ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif )

Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

Glad you like it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Say, what do you mean by "clean categories instead of a jumbled mess" in the tech tree? How everything is almost anal-retentively compartmentalized into its own separate tech area? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Or the slightly more realistic tech requirements for various things (which mostly don't matter anyway since you START with missiles I anyway so it doesn't matter that whether they require Explosive Warheads and Propulsion!)?

Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

I was refering to anal retention ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif !
I did'nt study details enough to appreciate the new requirements, I still have to do that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Who wants to help with a mod?
 

Starting this thread back up again...

I've been fiddling with everything, you might hate me for it, but I've done other minor and not-so-minor tweaks... just thought I'd let you know... one thing I did is reduced the cost of the "Mechanoids" racial trait to 500 points since nobody uses bioweapons anyway... if you were doing AI files I thought you might want to know about that before I totally mess everything up for you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

By the way, are you having any trouble with the sound effects? I noticed that they weren't working, so I copied the entire sounds folder (yes, all 30 MB of it) into my mod folder, but it STILL won't work... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

edit: By the way, where does the screen name "PDF" come from? Is it just your initials? I ask because it's also a type of document file commonly used in Online manuals (damn them to Hell! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )
