new mod: Expeditions

[Alphasite]

A verbose showed that it was failing to find files that I had renamed to all lowercase, so I deleted the Expeditions directory and the extracted it again and just made the changes to game.ini and renamed the GameData, Graphics, and Sounds directories to all lower case. Now it's back to the previous crash. Here's some of the errors and warnings I see when using "-verbose":

I played around some more. This time I was able to explore several planets before it crashed. I saw some of these:

ERROR: error: explore condition has no number (could be mistyped condition type)
ERROR: error: explore condition has no number (could be mistyped condition type)

yeah, i get that too, but i was able to play through an entire small map no prob with the one i just uploaded (removed all spaces and caps from everything).

v0.12
-changed name in mod select screen to read Weird Worlds: Expeditions
-removed all spaces and caps from... everything.

crud-forgot to lowercase directories... gimme a few...

[clomaka]

k, it should be good to go now. I've just been updating the attachment on the first post, btw.

[Alphasite]

Okay, I'm now able to play. Some comments:

1) The little "?" in the upper left corner of each item is a bit hard to see.

2) The nebulae are a bit hard to see.

3) I really like the new color scheme.

4) One of the graphics on the title page is a place holder.

I've had a few crashes at the end of the game after the score is displayed.

[clomaka]

Alphasite- yeah, the title page graphic is one of the things that was holding it up. It's going to be a shot of the Nouveaunians (replacing the one i borrowed from the b5 mod), but i only just started and it'll probably take a couple of months for me to find enough time to complete it.

charliecooper- dude, i could so hug you if the caps and spaces were what was causing my random crashing. instead, i'll just hug the whole community by releasing a less buggy mod :>
