Atrocities,

Got a bug for you in the Federation
Both the Federation's medium and large transports are the same size in tonage 600kt.
There are no fighter bays for the Federation Light Carrier. I have already researched fighter and advance ship const. You may want to check that the other carrier classes has fighter bays to.

I think the problem here is that fighter bays are replaced by shuttle bays. i noticed this when i truned off shuttle tech in a game. fighters were then impossible to build. in a scenario i'm making based on the trek mode i added fighter bays and fighter cockpit etc so you could hve both. Also a lot of 'fighter' stuff require the tech 'shuttles'. In your game researching Shuttles should solve your problem i think.

Thanks, I shall tried researching shuttle tech.

Thanks guys. Sorry about the shuttle thing, I have added a description tag to the Fighter tech level that tells people to research shuttles to get shuttle bay technology.

Also changed the Lrg Tran tonnage to 800.

That finishes off Version 1.3.4 and now we go to 1.3.5

I'm unable to play the star trek mod from the SEIV mod picker utility v2.01. It is the only mod I'm having any trouble with. All others run fine without a hitch. I'm getting the same error every time (reproduceable): unable to load c: \games\space empires iv gold\pictures\planets\p0537.bmp

then when the game comes up, the planets are blank white squares.

Can anyone help me here? I am unable to find the string, "unable to load" in the forum anywhere else. I'm running with 384megs of ram under MSW 98. It makes no difference whether anything is running in the background or not.

Thanks in advance,

Keith ODonnell

This would be were someone reminds everyone to read the readme I think.

The problem is you need to get the latest planet image pac. and aslo the facily and compontent ones.

Get them here: http://www.geocities.com/hohoho611ca/imagepack.html
