Post everything, but in seperate files. Some people with broadband will grab the music. Most people will probably only pick up the game config files. You might split the music into several files so it's easier to handle.

Re: Battlestar Galactica
 

Gotta love broadband... this mod looks fun, even though Ive never done any Battlestar stuff before (TV show?)

Re: Battlestar Galactica
 

Ok, here it goes. Be gentle, folks, it's my first mod. Insert Standard Disclaimer Here.

BSG Mod (11 MB)

Unzip it to your Campaigns folder and enjoy.

REQUIRES STARFURY V1.08 TO WORK PROPERLY!!

Known issues:
After the campaign is completed, it will try to load the next one, which doesn't exist (yet)
Some of the warp points may be in the wrong places (particularly in the Alpha-Epsilon chain)
Bizarre occasional Range Check Error (cause still unknown)

Landscapes (12 MB)

This is the optional landscapes pack- Overwrites most of the landscapes in the game and adds a dozen more. It shouldn't be necessary to run the mod; but it is possible that in some system somewhere there's a reference to one of these...

Unzip to either Starfury/Images/Landscapes folder (will change graphics in all campaigns) or to Starfury/Campaigns/Campaign 4 -The Colonies/Images/Landscapes for just the mod.

For those of you who just love the downloading, here's the music for the mod, broken up into 3 files. Unzip to your /Music directory in Starfury.

Music 1 (17 MB)
Music 2 (30 MB)
Music 3 (20 MB)

Outstanding work! Looks great and plays nicely (still collecting fighters, so). One thing I found: Fighters have the tendency to explode on my aft when I recover them. Is this a problem with the ship model?

Re: Battlestar Galactica
 

Ok, first report back. The Cylons could use some more fighters and beter ECM/ECCM so they can hit you. Second, the Base Star weapons are not firing from the displayed model but a bit away from it.

Hmmm... Now that you mention it, the sorta do... Never noticed that before. I guess I need to monkey around with the SpaceObjects_X.text file and figure out what does that. Anyone have any ideas? Could it be Base Model Radius?

Thanks! I'll increase the min/max fighters for the Cylons, and reduce the XYZ coordinates on the firing points for the basestar by like 10%... That should do it, I think. As far as ECM, all races are supposed to have ECM according to the Main_Enemies.txt file... I'll have to see if there's some way I can boost them or force them to have better targeting sensors...

Anyway, glad you're enjoying yourself and thanks for the feedback!

Re: Battlestar Galactica
 

I thought the Cylons were supposed to have horrific accuracy, (at least vs Vipers)
but that the occasional shot that did hit would take out a fair chunk of your fighter's internals.

Any chance of getting some screenshots of this Mod in action? Sounds pretty cool... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
