Re: Battlestar Galactica
Well, I have good news, and I have bad news.
The good news is that I'm almost ready to release a beta of the BSG mod.
The bad news is that it's 117 MB in size.
Most of that is music, which I can just take out of the mod altogther. The rest is mostly new graphics, event protraits, and revised landscapes. I may make the landscapes a seperate download- only a few of them are specific to the mod, the rest are just in there because I think they're prettier than the ones in the game. Basically, it's around 23MB with the landscapes, 11MB zipped without. What do you guys think?

Re: Battlestar Galactica
Post everything, but in seperate files. Some people with broadband will grab the music. Most people will probably only pick up the game config files. You might split the music into several files so it's easier to handle.

Re: Battlestar Galactica
Gotta love broadband... this mod looks fun, even though Ive never done any Battlestar stuff before (TV show?)

Re: Battlestar Galactica
Ok, here it goes. Be gentle, folks, it's my first mod. Insert Standard Disclaimer Here.
BSG Mod (11 MB)
Unzip it to your Campaigns folder and enjoy.
REQUIRES STARFURY V1.08 TO WORK PROPERLY!!
Known issues:
After the campaign is completed, it will try to load the next one, which doesn't exist (yet)
Some of the warp points may be in the wrong places (particularly in the Alpha-Epsilon chain)
Bizarre occasional Range Check Error (cause still unknown)
Landscapes (12 MB)
This is the optional landscapes pack- Overwrites most of the landscapes in the game and adds a dozen more. It shouldn't be necessary to run the mod; but it is possible that in some system somewhere there's a reference to one of these...
Unzip to either Starfury/Images/Landscapes folder (will change graphics in all campaigns) or to Starfury/Campaigns/Campaign 4 -The Colonies/Images/Landscapes for just the mod.

Music 1 (17 MB)
Music 2 (30 MB)
Music 3 (20 MB)

Re: Battlestar Galactica
Outstanding work! Looks great and plays nicely (still collecting fighters, so). One thing I found: Fighters have the tendency to explode on my aft when I recover them. Is this a problem with the ship model?

Re: Battlestar Galactica
Ok, first report back. The Cylons could use some more fighters and beter ECM/ECCM so they can hit you. Second, the Base Star weapons are not firing from the displayed model but a bit away from it.
