Can't wait to try the update. I've been enjoying ver 2 for about 3 days now. I loved B5. One of my fav sci fi shows of its type ever. [Right after Farscape. ;-)]

Whoa a Farscape mod would be fantastic...

Well here it is. I have spent way, way, way too much free time I don't have to bring you Version 1 of the Babylon 5: Shadowfall mod. It has new maps, and lots of new items, quests, events, and other details over even the last beta version.

There is still one quirk I couldn't track down; sometimes on startup the map will display a hidden black hole, and the Terran homeworld data is lost and you cannot retire. If you see that happen, quit and restart Wierd Worlds.

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with everything. I will appreciate feedback... let me know if you like the mod!

Hmmmm, so far I can't seem to run anything besides the smallest map size without the program crashing. Any suggestions?

I'm very unhappy to hear that...Can anyone replicate this problem, or confirm that the mod is working for them? It's working fine for me... but again, I'm on a Mac.

Man, this is awesome. I'm on a mac too, and its working great.

Honestly, this is the most advanced WW mod I've ever played. Great Job!

I wouldn't even care except that I had the misfortune of playing the betas and seeing how slick they were! You may want to post your mod to the Infinite Space Federation site. I think the Shrapnel guys frequent that place a bit more for some reason. The link is:

(as I'm sure you knew anyway)
One way or another, you should post it there anyway so more people can get a taste of all that hard work you put into your mod.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I'm still playing beta 3 and occasinally get the strange black hole quirk. Your nebula masses anger me to no extent as I often find myself trying to cross them without realizing it until it's too late. But, it does finally make one of the items quite a bit more useful (can't remember the name offhand, it's used to outline the edges of the nebulas or whatever), so I say it's a go. :-) Whether on purpose or not. Can't wait to try your 1.0 so I'm off to do so!

Ok, simulator seemed to work, though selecting Babylon 4 is pointless as it seems to be derelict. It does not attack, defend, and you cannot board and take control. Tried the full game (only starting it) and I am able to begin a small and medium map game, but the large map crashes to desktop everytime. This was tested with each ship with low nebula mass and max enemy every time.
