Though not as well laid out and developed as the Star Trek Mod.

I am trying this one, but when I load, half the planet pictures are missing I looked in the help and it said

You need to install the Image Mod Components/Facilities/Planets/Combat modules.


but where do I get this from? I looked on the mod site and found the link, but I can not work out how to install it! I am sorry, but I love the game, but I am a noob to how it works on the moding site, and I just dont know what ot install and stuff! please help!

Extract Components.zip into the Pictures\Components folder. It is okay to do so in the stock Pictures folder, because it does not change any stock images, just adds many new ones. And, it will save having to have to have 10 copies of all those images in different mods.

Each other file gets installed in the exact same manner, using the appropriate folder under Pictures instead of Components. So Combat.zip gets extracted to Pictures\Combat and so on.

Yes, you want to overwrite files named Components.bmp, Beams.bmp, Torps.bmp, and so on. These contain a table of the "minis" for each image, as they have a 128x128 pixel "portrait" and a 36x36 pixel "mini".

Not looking at them right now but I cn say for the above Warp Point Medium, Warp Point Heavy, Warp Point Light, the rest go along the same lines.

If the FQM help documents were included, check them out. If not, go to the FQM website to view it.
