Wow. I'm surprised. I mean, I've played both, admittedly not that much compared to others probably, but the STM mod seems much more "canon" than the AST...they're both pretty amazing works, though.

Well I guess we know which mod is more popular.

Further: and I would easily pay $30 to y'all for coming up with them. I shelled out $45 for BOTF and it stank, and I have gotten much more out of the STM mod than I ever could have from MOO2, BOTF, etc...

thanks for an amazing job!

BOTF was one of the inspiration for this mod.

I have been following along with the updates to this wonderful mod, even though I have not been posting. I know that for all the time I have spent playing this great addition to SEIV, I would certainly be willing to remunerate the architect.

I am currently playing on one of the included maps and I have had some uncommon luck finding planets with ruins. I note that the description (only) for the Massive Planetary Phased Shield Generators I and II have an erroneous entry in the descriptions for ability type 2. "Generates [%ShieldPointsGenerated] phased shield points." I have edited my copy of the facility.txt and also scanned it, and found no other such errors.

Thanks to Atrocities for all his diligent efforts on our behalf!

Atrocities, I used the shorter 1.72 patch file to update the mod, but when I ran the game, the Version number up in the corner was still showing 1.66. Is that normal, or should I get the bigger file and use that?

The patch is probably missing the new title .bmp file with the correct Version #. It might be a good idea to do a full install of 1.72!

Greg, I guess you're running game in 800x600 mode? Neither 1.71 nor 1.72 have no new 800x600 splash screen yet. At least in patches.

Yeah, that's what I run it in. I can't read the print when I use the (smaller? bigger?) settings. Thanks

Atrocities · #**2449** April 9th, 2004, 09:54 PM

Greg, I left the 800x600 splash screens out of this Version to save space. If you want one I can zip one up and email it to you. All I do is copy the larger one and resize it to 800x600.

Let me know if you want me to send you one.

Now i am just missing some facility-pics, i think they are all the race specific ones (596.bmp-599.bmp for the 8472 species at least)

i have a lycos homepage i could try to "mirror" some of the files if you are interested.
Only problem is that the speed seems to be limited to isdn speed(8kb/s) even if i upload files :-/
i think i have 100 mb space from which i could spare 30 or 40 mb for the files.
Don't know if it is legal though...

I don't get it? The latest facility pack should have had all of these in it.

Here is what I am going to do, I am going to zip up both the Facilities and Components folders with ALL the images. This way if any one has a missing image they can simply download this until SJ updates the Image Mod.
