This isn't really an SE4 mod, more of nostalgia for SE3, but it is "data/sound/graphic"... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I went ahead and made a MIDI of the Malfador theme music from SE3... I know, it needs work (the percussion is too loud and sounds like the Klackon battle music from MOO3 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif ) but it's a start... maybe if I can get this sounding good enough we can even convince Aaron to put it into SE5 and/or Starfury??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Malfador Theme.zip (384 bytes, by the time you read this it will be downloaded http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

How To Make Engineering Component.

1. Make engineering component for ship.

2. Make engineering component for base.

3. Add the two engineering components to data file. Replace life support with the ship engineering component and replaces auxiliary control with the base engineering component.

4. Delete master computer component.

5. Set life support requirement in vehicle size data file to one.

The AI will use the engineering component to fill its requirement for life support. It is possible to add more abilities to the component but only if the abilities are not targeted by the design creation data files. New abilities could be supply storage and shield regeneration.

Ship and Base Engineering Component Provided.

Leaking Armor

I don’t see any way to get the AI to use leaking armor. Why not just simulate leaking armor by making components stronger and using weapon mounts for any race difference in component strength.

Examples of weapon mounts which increase component strength.

Here are the latest images I have for the Image Mod Components.

The Read-me and Components.bmp are up to date with the new information and images.

Components

Re: Space Empires IV: Data/Sound/Graphic
 

It seems a cargo bay component must have the most cargo storage ability or the AI might use a Drone Launcher instead. See Example for possible solution. If example is use in vehicle size data file set requirement pct cargo to 25.

Example.

Economies of Scale Mod v1.1.0

This mod is inspired by an idea posted by Erax and expanded on by Suicide Junkie on the Shrapnel forums that he suggested to improve realism in SE4 and balance out smaller vs. larger ships. The idea was this: ship strength stays fairly linear in proportion to size, but cost increases as the square of the size, representing the infrastructure necessary to construct large vessels, while maintenance increases as the square root of the size.

Major update in v1.1.0: Build costs now increase with 1.5 power of the hull size, not the square, to keep large ships practical

New Components for the Star Trek Mod. (9-16-2003)

Installation - Unzip the file to your SE IV directory pictures folder / components folder.

The zip will over write older STM images, 1177 thru 1231 This is ok. It will also add the newer images 1256 through 1296 and replace the Component.bmp

Comp 1256 - 1296

The Mizendar Galaxy

Preview link of the Intro screen

Preview link some of the races

This mod is an original setting in a galaxy of my own creation (with heavy influences from many sources). It allows your race to harness the Aether in space to drive your ships. You can take the Racial Trait: 'AetherSense' and research Astronomy to gain access to Aetherdrive technology. This tech may be essential in a galaxy left low on resources after emerging from a dark age following a massive galactic war.

Part 1 9MB

Part 2 28MB

Note that this mod is mostly a graphic overhaul. There is some additional technology, new race pictures, and new quadrant types. Thanks to all the other modders out there, and the SEIV board members, without who's help this mod would not have been done.

Re: Space Empires IV: Data/Sound/Graphic
 

These were on SE.net... I have uploaded them for your convenience. Not all were uploadable for some reason though.

To trick the Shrapnel uploading script, I have just put my self-extracting rar .exe files into zips.

FQM Standard 1.19.zip - 1,241 KB

FQM Deluxe 2.05 JPEG.zip - 4,048 KB *** Remember you have some JPG to BMP converting to do.

FQM Deluxe 2.05 Patch.zip - 457 KB *** Make sure to get this first if you want the 2.06 patch, as I only included 2 data files in the 2.06 patch.

FQM Deluxe 2.06 Patch.zip - 39 KB *** requires that you get *this file* and rename these files as follows:
2003-10-b-full_jpg.bmp -> nova2.bmp
2003-10-c-full_jpg.bmp -> nova3.bmp
2003-10-d-full_jpg.bmp -> nova4.bmp
2003-10-e-full_jpg.bmp -> nova5.bmp

Extract the zip into the FQM Deluxe folder, and it should place the images into the FyronsQuadrantModDeluxe\Pictures\Systems folder. You will need to rename all 3 copies of these images, in the Systems folder and both of its subfolders. I am having trouble with the uploading form to Shrapnel, and can't seem to upload the whole file where I have renamed them already. Savegames should work fine, as all that is changed are files that are used only when the map is generated.

If someone wants to combine these two files with the appropriate file structure and appropriate names and all (and upload it), that would be appreciated. Otherwise, it will have to wait a while.

I posted in the ships/AI forum first, but I believe I should have posted here instead. I am new to SEIV, but I love the modifiability of it! I have created a small site with some new race portraits for use with SEIV. Each one is downloadable with 128x128, 36x36 and 20x20 sizes for race_portrait, pop_portait and pop_mini respectively. Here's the link btw:

Simplicity mod Alpha 0.99

Simplicity mod tries to cut out a lot of the complicated stuff, while also balancing resource usage, increasing the importance of ship and fleet experience and hopefully making it easy to write very good AI for the mod.

Tampa_Gamer Sound Mod 1.50 Lite Version
Tampa_Gamer Sound Mod 1.50 Full Version

Space Empires IV Gold Version 1.91
March 26, 2004

* Special thanks to Imperator Fyron and Phoenix-D for hosting the mods!

INFORMATION:
This sound mod will replace almost all of your 60 original sound files. I have gone through the new Gold sounds and merged the ones I liked with my previous sound mod as well as new ones over the past 2-3 years. Some of the the racial-specific weapon sounds (like the acid globule, enveloping acid, etc.) are from the mod posted by Tenryu and were created by C. Schaefer for Cyber Warrior and used with the permission of CyberWarrior, Inc.

HISTORY:
1.50 Eighth release Version (replaced around 50% of the previous Version 1.40 sounds with new ones)

NOTES:
(1) This mod is fine to use with the TDM-ModPack, simply place the sounds (wav. files) in the the "TDM-ModPack\Sounds\New" subdirectory (create a subdirectory if one does not exist).

(2) The only thing the full Version has that the lite Version does not, is around 100+ sounds that were discarded over the past several years as my sound mod evolved. They all have the words "notused_" as a precursor to the name.

Have Fun!
