I am looking forward to the new splash screen also TerranC. Any word on how it is coming?

Coming along not as quickly as I would like it to be, but I think you'd agree with my putting off finishing the splash screen until after I finish a shipset, wouldn't you? .

And if that sarcasm pertained to the lack of news concerning the graphics, I'd have to say I agree with you.

Edit: Forgot to mention this before I pressed the post message button; with easter, now I've got 4 days of free time which I plan to mostly devote to making and finishing most of the Terran shipset. I guess we'll be having a chat soon, eh?

No, the sarcasm had nothing to do with you; I don’t want to get into too much detail.

I've been out of town on business and needed a Starfire fix and was able to get to the Forum and from there to your new web page ...

Went to the "Downloads Page" ... figured I could get some "testing" in during my "spare" time ... but find that the links on the page (not Navication) do not seem to work ... specifically the "Space Empires 4 Gold Downloads" link ...

Am I doing something wrong ???
Are the downloads actually somewhere else ???
Or is this a possible "glich" in you new web site?

What a week, man am I happy it is over!

The file did not upload to my ISP right. I have fixed it so you should have no problem now.

Back to work on the next patch, this one should make several large changes once Dan K and I get the weapon range and ship speed hammered out.

Hey, what's going on with this mod?

[President_Elect_Shang]

Dan K has created a revised list of weapon ranges and damage at those ranges. It is a conVersion of the StarFire system but since StarFire uses a 60 hex range and SE4G a 20 hex (box) range there are a few discrepancies. Also the ship speeds in combat will need to be re-balanced.

At the same time I am trying to get ready for finals and complete a few essays for my classes so that I don’t lose any points when my final grade is calculated. I apologize for the delay but I am working on it with what little free time I have.

Cool. Dealing with weapons range and ship speeds if Starfire uses a 60 hex range, and SEIV uses a 20 grid range shouldn't you just be able to divide everything by 3 and get a close approximation?

Not quite that easy. Starfire uses a bell-curve like accuracy for missiles over distance while beams are linear. And the Starfire uses more of a 50 hex range than 60.

I didn't hear back from those email addresses you posted. Is this mod located on another site?
