UlmPunk MOD available
 

Bowlingballhead has made an Ulm Punk mod. I havn't had time to check it out yet, but it sounds fun.

Hmm, the names of the critters are missing. A bit annoying. Bowlingballhead, is it possible to fix this till tonight. I'll let the mod stay under completed and hope for the best. I'm of to work at school now.

Haven't actually tested it much yet, but sounds intresting and fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

About starting sites: The Steel Ovens, Ancient Forge or The Factory could be intresting... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

'The names of the critters are missing'? What do you mean? The unit types are all named. I confirmed this myself. Maybe something is wrong with the copy of the file you got? I'm looking at a copy of the .dm file right now. #name "Artificer", #name "Steam Monstrosity", #name "Silicon"... it all seems to be here.

Of course, there's that danged hero I missed. Sheesh. I am so vexed that I overlooked him.

Why is it called "UlmPunk"?

Re: UlmPunk MOD available
 

Derived from 'Steampunk', the name for the genre of fanciful pre-electrical technology. Which in turn is derived from 'Cyberpunk', the genre of fanciful near-science fiction technology, with a dark setting.

Speaking of dark settings, the descriptions will probably be revised to meet with my taste for the grim. I was rather tired when I first wrote them, and I fear quite a bit about UlmPunk could use tweaking. I thought it was complete enough to show people, though.

And no forges! Don't think it didn't occur to me, but I'm already worried the nation is overpowered. Putting an artificer on one of those forge sites would be begging for exploitation.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You have names http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif . That probably means that there are problems with the 2.07 beta Version (which I am using). I'll have to take a look.

Re: UlmPunk MOD available
 

Hmm, for some reason (no apparent one) only the Artificier has got a name when I try the mod.

You can all see the names of the units?

Re: UlmPunk MOD available
 

I believe so. I'm not at home to check. I'll see if I can't get confirmation from a friend.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Kris: I downloaded the mod and started a game (with current patch, 2.06) and it works fine. I can see all the unit names. Must be the 2.07 patch?
