Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Captain Kowk I was wondering if it would be ok to post the new components for download? They include your race portraits for the Star Trek Mod.

Images 961 thru 984:
961 - 962 - 963 - 970 - 979 - 980 - 981 - 982 - 983 & 984 are recolored original components
965 - 966 - 967 - 968 - 969 were created by Captain Kwok for the Star Trek Mod
971 - 972 - 973 - 974 - 975 - 976 - 977 & 978 are images from Activision Elite Force I and II.

If any one is interested here are the current weapons and ranges for all the races except the tholians. I haven't gotten them done yet. I will add them once I am done.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Well I have added the Structural Integrity Field I - V to the components list.

I have finished the Klingon Components and Weapons.

I am debating on wether or not to add 10 more races to the Race directory. They would all use generic Ai and all use only 8 ship classes including colony or transport ships.

The reason for this is game limitations. If you have only 10 races and you choose a setting of many races then the game will use one or two races twice or even three times. By adding ten minor races to the Race folder I could eliminate this.

The 10 races would more than likely use their own ships sets, but a few might have to use repeates or generic ships.

When setting up your race the game will often use a random BMP image from one of the race folders. This is random and can be any image. I am therefore at a loss as to what to do about this except to include ALL images with all sets. I can over look this error as it does not cause the game to crash, but it does cause an annying pop-up error.

If Aaron was to fix one thing more for SEIV, I would as that it be this: Provide a setting that will alow a modder to lock the random image to a specific image.

To get the 10 minor races I will be using 5 of the neutral races. This is how the races will be tenatively set up.

Species 8472

Cardassian
Dominion
Federation (STNG)

Minor Races:

Why did you make your own smiley?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">But why should you keep the race number selection in settings.txt ? Make it smaller. 1-3 for small, 4-5 for medium and 6-8 for high ! Just an example, of course.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Actually, if you have less than 20 races, any choice gets really weird results. You get random ship sets with random AI files for all races.
