Thanks I will file the Tholian for review for the next update. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

If you cannot download the 172 patch here is the mirror site.

Mirror for 1.7.2 Patch The 1.7.2 patch is current with the Breen fix, component file fix, and the two component bmp images that are not in the current Image Mod.

Here are the component and Facilities images only. Components Facilities I don't really know what facility images are missing, so this file contains all facility and component images for the mod along with a new master BMP min list.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes, I that mantra was burned into my psyche several years ago. It drove me (and my company) into the arms of Dell. Since then, Dell has become very much like HP.

Now I need to find someone else to buy PCs from.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

The quality of parts has gone down horribly with most companies like HP and DELL using recycled parts.

Imagine my shock when I discovered that this "new" HP which was replacement 4 for my old HP, has a service history for having a bad CD/RW and Motherboard. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

You would think that shows like Call for Help and such would let everyone know about this scam but hey, they don't. Hell they won't even allow you to post this in their forum without it being deleted.

I posted about my HP experience, and it was deleted. It was not offensive, it was factual and therefore threatened advertising dollars. Pooof, gone.

No I recommend that you simply find someone who knows what they are doing, hire them, and have them build you IN HOUSE pc's.

HP / Dell / Compaq / Gateway / IBM / all suck arse now. Hell just by a Mac.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

BTW Great mod! You might think about starting to numbering the 1.72 patches, since there seems to be more than one with the same name..... 1.72.1, 1.72.2, etc. I'm starting to get confused.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

They are all the same. If you download it from the STM site then you good to go. If not then well, we'll talk.

The thing is site has exceeded its bandwidth of 10 gigs by a whole lot. And CNC is quite upset at me over it.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">hum, well you can change it back by editing the modinfo file. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The depths of dispair I feel now. Looks like all of the info for the 1.7.2 patch is outdated. Another testimate to the HP failure. They were all updated prior to the crash, but since I did not make the exe file until after the crash all the data that was updated was forgotten. And I never bothered to check which is why it is oudated.

Really all I want to do is scrap this mod and start over.

I have not choice, I must fix the issues the PC crash caused. This means a 1.7.3 Version of the mod will most likely be out soon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I hate this I do so very much hate this, but it is the only way to get all the material updated again in a manor that everyone can use to update.

I will get it ready and post it at the beginning of next month.

IT SHOULD not effet save games and we can pester GEO to update the PBW Version from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3.

It never fails, no matter how hard I try, every stinking time something goes horribly wrong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Sorry guys, and sorry Geoschmo for the PBW hassles this will cause.
