Battlestar Galactica MOD V2.0 release

[Professor_Spatula]

This is a great mod. The Galactica is a hell of a ship! It's only real weakness is against lots of annoying Zorg fighters and the Deep Space Hunters (or whatever the cloaking ships are). Once those ships decloak and you order the Galactica to attack, and then they cloak again, your Vipers stop moving and lose all their orders. You end up having to pause the game and reissue commands whenever the ships decloak. It's probably nothing you can help, but it's a little annoying. Perhaps Digital Eel themselves could change the code to make fighters not sit around and act lost whenever their target cloaks itself.

I was also surprised to see how weak the Cylon bases stars are compared to the Galactica. You can easily take out 2-3 of them with just the Galactica. If you have powerful shields, the base star can't even penetrate the shields.

Great stuff though.

I'm glad that you like the MOD. It's always great to hear how much people like your creation.

I've always been concerned about the strength, or rather lack of stregnth, of the Basestars. But since I'm trying to keep this as close to the new series as I possibly can, and there is next to no information about the Basestars, I have no idea how to beef them up realistically.

All that I do know is that the Basestars rely on their Raiders for their power. In the new series they hang back out of the fight while they launch Raiders and missiles. But as soon as they get into the fray, they are easily overpowered by a single Battlestar.

While I haven't been working on my MOD recently (damn school work, don't my profs know that I have a life outside of school?!) I have plenty of new ideas on how I can tweak the strength of the Basestars to make them more of a threat to Galactica.

But until I get a break and have some free time, that won't get done.

Okay I am new to the game and sofar I am loving it and I decided to DL some mods.
Every mod works for except this one. Everytime I start the mod I got thrown back to my desktop.
Any ideas how I can get this mod to work?

Like BorStonefist, I'm also unable to run the BSG 2.0 mod. For some reason, it fails to launch. I'm going to try all the various screen resolutions to see if that might be the problem, but so far I've tried 800x600 and 1024x768 without luck.

Just checked this again, works fine here. Are you playing on Mac or PC?

[Ace_Garp]

It's not a Mac thing.
Just tried this Mod on my worst Mac (2 x 500 MHz G4) and it seems to work fine.
Only used a low res screen though.
I'll try it tomorrow on my PowerBook, and see how it flies on that.
I can also get to have a good look at this Mod then too!
p.s. Thanks for the Mod OmegaMagus, I'll give some feedback when I've had a proper play with it ;-)

I'm running on WinXP.

Aha, I think I just found the solution to the problem of the WW failing to launch when you select the BSG mod!

I was running version 1.0, as installed from the retail CD. I spotted a patched version with various enhancements and bugfixes on shapnelgames' website, which upgrades the game to version 1.1. After installing this, WW launches & supports the mod just fine.

The patch can be downloaded from http://www.shrapnelgames.com/digital...d_worlds/6.htm

Yeah.
Simply click on the word "Attachment" in the heading of the first post in this thread.
I've just tried it, and downloaded version 2.2 of the Mod :-)
