Balance Mod Available for SE:V

[se5a]

yeah, I should have read your post properly I guess.

I was trying to start a game with only myself and a friend as the only true empires, but with many neutral races. For some reason, even after editing the settings file, and starting many new games, only 5 neutral races were produced.


Edit: It appears this is the case in stock 1.17 as well. I'm sure before this it was possible to have many more neutral races.

Kwok,

Can you incorporate some of the new races or shipsets into your mod?

(Ngath and Arackterra) The ones Fryon posted a link about.

I have them on my site for easy download. http://hosted.filefront.com/lacyj3aolcom

Thanks,

Oh no! You mean you work??? ack... I shouldn't have patched yet...

BTW, please help with my other message.. there must be a way to cancel a surrender message before you hit end turn right???

There must be.... it only makes sense...

Version 1.01 of the Balance Mod is available.

You can grab it here:

Nothing really special about this version other than it works with SE:V v1.20 and fixes a few other items. Note mines are currently always visible - which is a current SE:V bug I think - so it's really for the future. Basically your place mines will improve their cloak ability somewhat automatically.

Code:
