I have M$ IE and it works fine.

When I click on the link it takes me to some page www.xupiter.com/error - whatever that is!

Fyron · #**153** November 18th, 2002, 02:39 AM

That is most odd. I have never even heard of such a site.

ArchAngel7 · #**154** November 18th, 2002, 03:00 AM

Is it possible you could e-mail it to me directly?

Fyron · #**155** November 18th, 2002, 03:10 AM

No. It is way to large for me to be able to email it.

You can go to PBW, log in, and then get the file directly from the Mod File Library.

Well, I went to the PBW site, logged in, and spent 20 minutes downloading this file only to realize it wasn't in a .zip format and I couldn't even open it or extract it to the SEIV directory!

Fyron · #**157** November 18th, 2002, 04:27 AM

Rename the file and add .zip to the end of it.

I have corrected the link on PBW so it will have the .zip extension on it when it's downloaded from now on.

My apologies if this is a dumb question, but I've read an awful lot of Posts and not found a solution to my problem.

I am using SE4G 1.78 and installed both Fyron's Quadrant Mod Deluxe 2.00 as instructed, and the latest planetary image mod pak (ver 1.8) (apparently as instructed in its sparse documentation -- I extracted the zip into the /pictures/planets subdir).

When I generate a new quadrant map, everything works as expected in FQMD except that none of the 'new' planetary graphics show up on my system view screen. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

When you unzip the planetpack you will get a file called "newplanets.bmp" You need to replace your planets.bmp with the new file.

You can delete planets.bmp and then rename newplanets.bmp.

I did it that way so that the zip wouldn't overwrite any files when it was installed. It seems to be too much of a hassle for the end Users, so I think I'll change that to automatically replace planets.bmp from now on.
