Mod pack problem
 

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and just started playing Space empires IV. I have the gold edition and have tried to use the Mobpack for the gold Version. However, I have unziped it followed the directions and continue to get the same error message. It reads:

Unknown value "ships/sat" for weapon target in record "anti-ship warhead I."

Unknown value "ships/sat" for weapon target in record "anti-ship warhead II."

Unknown value "ships/sat" for weapon target in record "anti-ship warhead III."

I then get only options to exit or credits. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance for any info or help.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Which Mod are you refering to?

Re: Mod pack problem
 

The correct target type for an anti ship warhead is "Ships\Sat" Note the direction of the slash. If this is the error (and not just a typo in your post) then go into the components.txt file and change the slash.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Okay I checked the file for components and it was just an error in my post. The slash is as you suggested. The mod file I am using is the Modpack I found on this board for the gold Version of the game. I must say this has all been very frustrating as it is very hard to tell what works with the gold Version and what does not. So far I have got nothing to work. Does anyone have a page or list of mods and races that work with gold Version? I would love to use this modpack.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

All races created so far work on gold; you just have to get rid of those annoying pop-ups.

CapnQ has made some steps to get rid of those errors.

Don't know about the mods though.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

What is the name of the modpack you're using? There are several modpacks with multiple Versions of each running around on the forum. Knowing exactly what we're dealing with here might help us, and it would let the author know there's a bug in his mod.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Okay I got the mod to work!!! I looked at my Space Empires gold disk file called extra and found the exact mod I downloaded. I tried it and it worked. Now for my next question/problem. The mobpack on the CD did not include all those cool Sifi races from TV like Romulans Klingons Sentari and such. Does anyone know if these race files exist for the gold edition and have a link to them? Thanks everyone for all the help and information, I hope you are all having as much fun with this game as I am.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

You really should read the MUST SEE SEIV thread at the top of the forum.

Click the NEW AGE SHIP YARDS link in my signature to get the latest Versions of all the Star Trek Races.

There is new AI out for the Borg, Klingon, and Romulan by God Emperor, but you will have to install new Borg tech if you use the Borg AI. (Recommended)

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Hi Lekw,
I would be really interested in what exactly goes wrong as I'm a Co-author of the TDM-Modpack (I think you use this, aren't you?). Did you download the upgrade or the full Version of the TDM-ModPack? What is written on the first page of the install program? It should read Version 3.20 in the 2nd sentence. Please help me to erase any errors in the ModPack so I can fix it once and for all.
The 3.20 Version of the TDM-ModPack includes many of the copyrighted races like the Klingons, the Romulans, the Earth Alliance and so on.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Lekw, without the name of the mod in question, we cannot really help you, though you seem to have gotten the problem fixed. In the future, it would be best to include the name of the mod in your post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Okay, the mod I downloaded was the "Modpack" Mod the one Mephisto co authored. The problem is it is very hard to tell which one is for what Version of the game. Mophisto mentions a gold Version with the races I would like but I dont know how to find it. I downloaded it three times (three Versions) and found out it was all for the wrong Version of the game. I kept getting pop up windows saying I had errors. In the end I just used the one on the disk since I was sure that one was for the gold edition. Can anyone give me a link for the gold Version of Modpack Version 1.60 so I can use it with my game? Also once again I must say how much everyone has helped me with this problem and how great it is that so many people are out there on this forum. Thanks again everyone.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

You can find the most recent Version here:
http://home.t-Online.de/home/320045362204-0001/

Version 1.60 is WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY back pre-gold. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Actually, that mod is called TDM, not the Modpack. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Mod pack problem
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I thought original gold was 1.60? Then first patch was 1.67?

But yeah Lekw, 1.78 is the current Version of gold. You should download it. It fixes alot of bugs and so forth.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

The first gold Version was 1.50.

The v1.60 is talking about the TDM mod. TDM is up to Version 3.2something now...

"Registered: Dec 2001 <--- Taz Devil arrives http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif "

It all becomes so clear now.

I like the way you tried to hide that. But it wasnt' a good hiding spot. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Okay another question from the new guy; Does anyone have a link to a page with the newest patch. I would like to get it but can't seem to find it anyplace. Will it work with my Version 1.60?

Re: Mod pack problem
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Is he referring to TDM v1.60 or SEIV v1.60? I'm confused about which patch were discussing.

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Sorry everyone again I was unclear. I need just the regular game patch so then I can instal the new mobpack mod and get it to work. Anyone have a link to the newest game patch.

PS I have gold edition Version 1.60. Just got it about a week ago.

Thanks again

Re: Mod pack problem
 

I think the confusion stems from you continually refering to the "mobpack mod." Unless I missed it, I don't recall seeing any mods called this. Are you actually refering to the TDM Modpack, run by Mephisto? Or to a different mod?

Re: Mod pack problem
 

You can find the latest game patch here:
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/malfado...ld_patch_2.htm

By the way, as others have pointed out, there is no such thing as a "mobpack mod". Please be so kind and post the exact name of the thing you have a problem with/you are in search for. this way we really can help you better. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Mod pack problem
 

Again I am sorry everyone. I thought I had the name right but did not. From what I have seen the TDM Modpack by Mephisto looks great and I hope I will be able to use it without error pop ups as soon as I download the new patch. Thanks for the link as well Mephisto. And thanks everyone for helping the new guy out. Again sorry I was writing about the TDM Modpack run by Mephisto.
