AST Mod problem
 

This is regarding the Atrocities Star Trek Mod. I recently downloaded the AST mod and installed it in my Space Empires IV directory. I've changed to path and it starts loading, but stops with the following error message:

components data file errors: c:\program files\shrapnel games\malfador machinations\space empires iv

Unknown value "Generate points intelligence" for ability 2 type in record "Long range scanners I"

Unknown value "Generate points intelligence" for ability 2 type in record "Long range scanners II"

My SEIV Version is 1.78 Gold. I made sure I installed the new pictures for Planets, Components and Facilities. I made sure I put them in the right folders and saved them as .bmp.

Anything I'm doing wrong?

Re: AST Mod problem
 

You need to be running Version 1.91 to get rid of those errors. There's a patch somewhere on this site.

I've tried using patch4.exe It says it is the incorrect Version and I need v 1.60 or some such.

Re: AST Mod problem
 

Just re-install from your Gold disc, and apply the patch over it. There's some issues with incorrect .exe timestamps that cause the patch to fail sometimes with other Versions. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Right, things are working well. Only problem now is a few missing pictures, that is the large portraits for most of the new graphics. I have the small on-screen icons for the planets, facilities etc. but not the portraits. Know where I can find them?

Thanks Kwok for the help. You're a lifesaver!

You need the imageMod pack. Essentially it's just a slew of extra images for the game. SE.net Image Mod Site
