Deathstalkers Mount Mod, Version 1.5
 

Latest 'trimmed down' Version of my mount modd.

Deathstalkers Mount Mod Version 1.5

This is my latest Version of the Mount Mod, it includes many many many goodies. It also (unofficially) works with DevnullMod Gold (I've been playing it for weeks now, great stuff Rollo/Geo/Others too many to mention http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ).

Things included in the Mount Mod:

Miniturization Mounts (weapons, missile mounts, components, ROBO-MINERS!!) {with many levels in each}

Mounts get better the more tech you discover/research, the AI also has special mounts that are easier to research/provide slightly higher bonus's to give it an 'edge' in solo play.

Working Missile Mounts (affect only the launcher, not the seeker itself.)

Robo-Miner Mounts (actually PROFIT from Robo-Mining, and its great for modds that have cheap mining bases (ie, DevnullMod), makes multiplayer a war of resources as truckloads of resources can be gotten from RoboMining (especially in Fyrons Quadrant Mods!!).

Engine Mounts (get places for less fuel!!, or cheaper engines!)

Weapon mounts that increase the damage the weapon can withstand, and the supplies it uses.

Armour Mounts (and 1kt ship plating, fill that extra 3kt space up!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ).

Shield Mounts (divided for ship sizes).

Well, what are you waiting for, take a look (and tell me what you think, things too cheap?, too expensive?, too ridiculous (ie, the +100% to hit TAG mount?? {great IMO}.....praise/criticism is welcome!)

That linky thing:

Mount Mod on Fyrons Spaceempires.net


Edit, link works correctly now.

Edit, forgot, there are also some dedicated Fighter and Torpedo mounts in there....but you guys already knew that right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Where would you install this? into the data file?

Re: Deathstalkers Mount Mod, Version 1.5
 

Create a new mod folder named DMM or DeathstalkersMountMod or Deathstalkers Mount Mod or something. Copy the Data folder for stock SE4 into this folder (including the data folder itself!). Then, extract the file from Deathie's zip file into this DMM\Data folder, overwriting the old one. Thus, the mod is installed.

You can also install it into other mods, but you need to be careful to make sure the mod is not depending on custom mounts that are in it already. And, make sure to back up the mod's file before installing DMM into it!

So sad, the Deathstalkers Mount Mod Version 1.5 does not work with AI Campaign http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

This winter I would like to pick Deathstalkers brain on a few Mount tips for AIC http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Deathstalkers Mount Mod, Version 1.5
 

I'm wondering if this is considered a patch, or a new mod? Can I install the 1.5 over my current mount mod, or would it be better to have a new folder? Also, what mods will this work on? I know it works on TDM, but what else?

Would love to help JLS, sometime I'll sit down and go over your modd and see what I can do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Also, this modd (the mount modd) works with TDM-Modpack as well, as well as Fyrons way of installing this modd you can also go into MOST other modds and just rename the current 'CompEnhancement.txt' file to something else (add an 'orignal' to it , or a number, etc) and just copy/paste this into the Data folder of the specific modd. This will probally mess up modds that have specific mounts geared towards that modd, but in general it will work (works with stock, Devnull, TDM-ModPack as far as I know....as to StarTrek etc, probally not, if the authors of those modds want a tailor made Version, or want mine to tweak towards thier modd, just ask and yea shall recieve!!!)

"I'm wondering if this is considered a patch, or a new mod? Can I install the 1.5 over my current mount mod, or would it be better to have a new folder? Also, what mods will this work on? I know it works on TDM, but what else? ",

This is basicly a re-vision of the modd, alot of the values are tweaked for better play and some mounts are removed entirely from play. If you like the old Version better just keep using it...if a few of the new mounts you like better, just copy/paste the individual mounts into the old file....and if you don't like the 'AI-helper' mounts, just erase them entirely (don't leave the dreaded double space of death) and work without them.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Deathstalkers Mount Mod, Version 1.5
 

wondering what how that new Version would fare in a PBW....

I'll have to test that in single player before trying PBW.

Re: Deathstalkers Mount Mod, Version 1.5
 

the sweet mods have been using the old Version of the mounts... they add a neat twist to the game.

the new Version of sweet has some of the additions...

They are modified from the orginal Deathstalker mounts to fit the mod...
