Re: Star Blazers Mod
Thanks Q!
About the possibles bugs. The game has 6 folders:
1. Components -that's the icons file for the items and the missing fighters!
2. Data - That contains captains names and ship names in addition to the original ones.
3. Images- all the extra graphics.
4. UI - It will put the StarBlazer logo on the main screen as it starts.
5. Xfiles - StarBlaxers ships x files.
6. Music (second download)- Extra music. Note: I did not create the music, I got it looking all over the net.
Out of all this files "Images" and "XFiles" can remain in the StarBlazers campaign directory. The content of the rest of the files should be placed on the folders of the original game.
For example: Open the Components files I provided, it happens to have only one picture, so dragged to the Components files of the original game folder. When you do that a message on the screen should ask you of you want to replace the original file with this one. Say yes, It is the same as the original except that I added 3 icons on the empty slots of that picture for the fighters!
Do the same with the "UI", "Data", and "Music".
That should solve your first 2 problems.
For your third problem, At the end of the game you have the choice of continue to the next campaign or to do it later. The option is identical to the original game (I think, will have to check). If you chose to continue, and there is no campaign it will crash (which you do not care since the game is over). I can eliminate this option and instead give you the mesage saying that this is the end of the game.
Tha problem with this is that when I make the second campaign you will not be able to continue from the first campaign. Instead I lefted as the original game did.
I hope that this should get you going. You definetly need the music for flavor. It will give you the StarBlazer song as you start the game. Remember that it will ask you to replace one file when you transferet to the original folder, say yes to replace.
Thanks again.
