Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
On a separate note, I have just reinstalled SEIVG after about a years absence from it.
Are there any patchs out and if so, how do I get them and where? (I am a computer numpty) Also, I wouldn't mind downloading some additional races. Where do I get these? And does anyone know where the Starfire mod is and how I get that on my pc? Cheers |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
You can patch up to 1.94 here:
http://www.strategyfirst.com/downloa...nSubmit=Search Most ship sets can be picked up at: http://www.spaceempires.net/home/downloads-cat-7.html I don't think there are any actual Starfire mods available, although they have been discussed from time to time. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Cheers Kwok.
I have patched up to deluxe (cannot really tell the difference yet). Have tried to download some races and these have gone into zipped folders in my documents directory. How do I get them out to be playable in SEIV? Regards |
Re: what does this one do?
Unzip them into the appropriately named race folders in your \pictures\races directory. The folder name should be the same as the name that appears in front of all AI and image files (eg "RaceX_Portrait_Baseship" wouldn't work if its folder was named "RaceY"). They should appear in SEIV then.
If you want them to be available only in a specific mod, unzip them into a race directory in the \modname\pictures\races directory. |
Re: what does this one do?
Hmm no posts for over a week. An no B&G related tomfoolery for several weeks. This is bad sign. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif.
This is clearly the work of pandas, damned slow breading racoons! |
Re: what does this one do?
Puke picks up a panda, and throws it at El Phil.
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
"I hereby declare myself Emperor of the Bar and Grill! Any who would seek to challenge me have one (1) day to do so starting..... now!"
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Puke picks up SIU, and throws him at the panda. El Phil ducks.
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
El Phil distracts Strat with a small shiny object while Puke smashes an elaborate Ming vase over Strats head
"The emperor is deposed and will now be fed to the Panda! His crown jewels are sold to the bar to buy the next round of drinks!" |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
RD quickly strikes through the "tender" part of his job Title "Bartender." Graciously he accepts the jewels and hangs a sign entitled "Free Drinks."
"The Emperor is Dead! Long Live the Emperor....Wait, do we have a new one? What sort of coup is this? It's tradition that when one otherthrows a corrupt head of state we must replace it with one as equally bad!" Ponders... "The Line of Succession shows Null Ashton to be the next Emperor!" RD holds up a somewhat hastily drawn diagram on a beermat to support this. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Hahahahaha..... I knew there'd be more B&Gness! But what the hell are you thinking, putting NullAshton in charge of this place?!?
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
clearly, its a simple mistake. look...
*puke scrawls another arrow on the beermat* ...it clearly indicates that the panda is our new leader. Here, put those jewles on its head. someone give it a pint of fermented bamboo juice, and see if it has any royal instructions for us. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
The panda clears it's throat and adjusts the crown. This takes about a week. Then it opens it's mouth to speak...
"I command that Strat be suitably punished for being the underhanded ursine usurper that he undoubtedbly is. Also any copy of the succession with Null Ashton's name on are to be destroyed." With that the Emporer Panda turned to sit down. Suddenly (relatively speaking it actually took seveal hours) he spun round. "And someone make me a throne and a crown stand. All this standing is exhausting." The emperor has spoken! |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
we've only got one throne in here, and the loo-pygmies have been worshiping it.
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Does that technically mean Elvis is also a member of the B&G Royal Family http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
"Hail to the King Baby!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
No, wait, wait..... Didn't Turin used to walk around here in a fake Elvis costume for some time?
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
it was either a wig or a cape, or both. I think they met a grizzley end, involving a flame thrower and the bottomless void beneath the cantina. Of course, some things have come back from worse...
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
I remember talk about EWE... the Evil Wig of Elvis.
|
Re: what does this one do?
And here I always thought that was a female sheepy.
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
It is. Fear the sheep.
***** On an entirely different matter, I hereby declare myself sole Emperor of the Bar and Grill! Any who would challenge me have one (1) day, starting..... last week! |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
The Imperial Panda Guard, Chichi and An An, take time off from failing to breed and amble over.
Strat is picked up by his legs, dragged to the stockade and strapped into a chair with his eyelids stappled open. He is then subjected to the latest and most ingenious torture fresh from China. 144 hours of the collected speeches of Chairman Mao, with the thoughts and commentary of Britney Spears! A soul rending scream echos throughout the bar before the sound proof door slams shut. The Emperor Panda speaks: "And that's what happen's to traitors and rebels." The Emperor has spoken, hear his words! |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
bump, can't let the old girl fade away now can we?
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Ahh with any other thread this would be necromancy.
But here's my question: Who's barkeep round here these days? |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
I thought it was Renegade
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
RD is the current Bartender, having taken over from the absent Taz.
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
I'm doing it for the good of the cantina, and the fancy outfits and aprons http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif One day the great barkeep Taz shall return and I shall relinquish this post. And on that day all shall be fuzzy, hazy and forgetful.
Of course, right now I have a slight feeling of dread over why the fellow Englishman El Phil is inquring into who is barkeep. Mac: I can assure you I am certainly not Renegade. So far the differences I have noted are that he is Canadian, has more experience with cattle than I do and is about a year older. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
...grabs a broom and oversized dustpan.
...mumble...mumble...been a while since anybody swept this place... mumble...HIC!! |

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
RD and Renegade I apoligize for my feebleness of mind. I just didn't feel like going back and reading over 1000 posts to refresh my senile mind. (it happens with age http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ) Therefore, I shall return to my studious ways of learning the mysterys of ones inner self and the universe as a whole. I shall endeavor to delve into the inner most workings of the id and shall continue to fight the "Essance" until one of us once again can breathe the wonders of the universe..
With that the old wize one walks over to his table, calls over a FBW and orders his usual, bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns and rye toast with a brewski chaser http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
*SuicideJunkie reaches over to the bar with a ten-foot pole and knocks the loo pygmy down to the floor before it can chase Mac's brewski too far and make a mess.
We should probably lock that bathroom door. |

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
locking the door on the Loo Worshipers would be like a declaration of war on them.... (shudders) hate to think what would happen then when one would enter the inter sanctum to conduct his/her business (words beyond description of the horrors that would entail) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
You are all strange.......
And who doth profain the Cantina by mentioning the dreaded words of the Furry Lipped One? "Circle the wagons?" - you guys should recall that that phrase pretty much started the whole Cantina thing off... I still do not know what it means, but have irretrievably damaged my cruciate ligament and earned the wrath of the current Mrs GT too boot trying to find out.. Suggestions anyone? |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Hi you old Furry one, hope the Mrs and Kittens are doing well.
ah yes, "circle the wagons" and "The Griffin Position", sigh, those were the good old days, Maybe the Grey one will return as well and we shall continue our past dicussions into the wheres and whatnots of these unstabling theorys of the origin of the all known and unknown..... |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
The Griffin Position: Not found in any edition of the Karma Sutra, not even the Zero-G editions, for a variety of excellent reasons not least the logistical difficulties it entails.
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
bump... Have a brewski on the house (put it on Renegades tab)
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Thanks for volunteering my money Mac. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
They say another bar war is due soon.
Ashton obliterates the eee, and serves tasty Soylent Eee to everyone. Bar Wars III completed. You may now go back to your drinks. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
It could be said, in fact I am going to say, that was a trifle disappointing as far as bar wars go. In fact I haven't seen a comparable anti-climax in many a year. Still what can you do?
Wait! What's that I hear in the distance. Is it a bird? A lost Jedi desperately seeking training on Dagobah? A UFP starship full of highly explosive consoles and no fuse boxes? No it's an EEE mothership! The EEE mothership filled to the brim with vengfull, yet tasty, EEE screams towards the bar to avenge the death of their comrade and to get some drings on Renegade's tab. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Kill 'em, quick! I don't have that much money!
Renegade hides his cash on various places about his person, safe from gelatinous/electrical sticky fingers. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Ashton hands everyone a flamethrower, and has fun mowing down the waves of Eee, toasting them perfectly for later consumtion.
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
"You there! Stop that at once!" takes out his old, trusty plasma launcher "EAT HOT PLASMA!!!" El_Phil just barely manages to duck behind the bar as the plasma burns clean through the wall behind the place where he stood just moments ago. He peeks over the counter, and just barely manages to avoid a second shot from the plasma launcher
|
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
So I thought you guys could use a weaponds sheet rundown of some standard weaponry. THis can be found at this link here...
http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20010715.html [i]/me pulls out his trusty BH-250i plasgun and starts to randomly shoot at the approaching EEE ships, toasting a few on the way in.../ |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Ashton takes out dual GG1611x pistols, equipped with armor-piercing projectiles, and starts having a shooting spree in the Bar & Grill.
Taste hot lead, alien cotton candy! |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
With the entire room distracted by the EEE invasion no-one has noticed the Plumdas returning to the bar.
Yes the plumbing Pandas have finally finished their quote for the job to repair the Cantina toilets. If they can just reach the bar in time the sheer volume of tea they will order will bankrupt even Renegade's great grandchildren! Muuwhahahahhah! |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Hah, too late! I just called the credit card company, they've cancelled the card. Just in time!
/me slips up, deftly picks the pocket of El_Phil, and puts an El_Phil credit card in the path of the Panda's, where they will undoubtedly find it...and use it extensively. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
Running to the nearest phone El Phil changes his name by depoll to 'Steve the Pirate'
El Phil? Who's that, never head of him. |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
RD pops up from behind the bar in his bartending apron and a knights helmet. As he rises his hands reveal two large novelty oversized sixshooters that look like they'd shoot watermellons if watermellons evolved into something more lethal...
"The Bar is closed." The British always get uppity about their tea |
Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
bump,... can't let this thread get lost...heheheh
'everyone have a brewski On Tim's and Richards tabs... hehehehehehehhe |
