Colony types and the people who use them

[Litcube]

Wow. That's alot of mods to wade through. Are there any mods in that list that are considered standard? Notable mods that are popular? Well done mods?

[Captain Kwok]

I like to use colony types - but its a bit more tiresome in simul. games because the computer names 'em first and then you have to change them to what you really want and that's a PITA.

If only you could right click on the name in the planet display and choose a new colony type.

I suggest you play all of the mods. Some of the oldest classics are TDM, Devnull, and Pirates & Nomads mods.

[Litcube]

Agreed, Kwok. A few interface annoyances. Does the mouse scroll wheel work for anyone else?

[Fyron]

Wait until the next patch is released, and then the scroll wheel will be supported.

[Litcube]

Really? Sweet action.


As we speak, I'm downloading your quadrants mod. Will the map generator use this mod? Does it implement all the new images in the image pak?


*any idea when the patch is due?

Yes really.

The map generator chokes when generating random maps using heavily modified data files. You can generate a map in-game fine, save it, and then load it in the map editor to edit.

If you get the Deluxe Version of FQM, most of the images in Planets.bmp pack of the Image Mod are used. Some of the cornier ones were excluded.

No idea when the patch will come out.
