[MOD] SSBM V2.7 & Cmod3-SSBM

[MindImage]

@SFaddict: thanks for improving this already great mod.
One question: does switching from version 2(b) to 2(c) require a restart or are the "smaller" changes directly applied when loading the newer version?

PFFFFF

I just cannot get the zipped files unzipped. I have got no clue as to why.
I downloaded the spk version, installed it via the installer, copied the .cat/dat file and renamed them to the next number into the game root and deleted the mod folder. Hence, created the fake patch and this worked.

To the mod itself. I installed Cycrows cheat script as well this time, so I could reveal all sectors and put a advsat in them.

THANKS A LOT Spacefueladdict.

The amount of pirates is reduced by a serious amount. What I saw so far was manageable, even by me

I'm back using this mod again. Thanks again mate.

I'll throw the cheat script out and restart my game. I hope this time I can play a little (lot) longer.

Cheers mate, as far as I'm concerned:

Well done.

Can´t unzip, too.

I have sent the author a pm. Posting here in case he only receives emails when this thread is replied to and doesn't normally check it

I had some questions on how backgrounds work.

I couldn't get the zipped download to unzip either. I guess the file is corrupted. I know the file name got parsed wrong: &amp lol.

Retried the .zip, and yep - error.

My bad, sorry there folks for raising false info - I get an error just as I try to move the zipped contents anywhere.. So yeah, the zipped folder is corrupted or whatnot (yesterday I just d/led it and looked if the zipper opened, didn't check any operations with files - oh well, live and learn).

[spacefueladdict]

Hmm bloody Archivers!

Right, well i used WinZip 12 to pack these files and i ran them through the Integrity test which showed no problems, will have to repack them, does anyone have any problem with me using 7Zip to pack them?

As for a restart... the final version is out at the weekend, and there will be some additions to the X3_universe file which will cause a re-start.

Now il not bother to repack the files until then.

Thanks for your continued patients.

I had no problems unzipping with 7z.

Great mod

Thanks for that mate, I would suggest that for people who are having problems with the Zip files, Keep trying and have a go with 7Zip, i believe it is a free program.

He mate, I'm glad you are still doing this after all the whining and such

As for that zip thing. I'm not too familiar with it, will try 7zip when back home.

Looking forward to your final version. (really looking forward to no more restarts )

Great job,

Bando

[spacefueladdict]

Re-stars are a pain i know, the final version will definitely be the last, so it should all be done for the weekend.

[MindImage]

Thanks for the update spacefueladdict. I'll gladly wait for the final version and do one more restart.

Btw: I think it's very good that you've added some more traders since the universe (sectorsize) is much larger now and it takes more time for the traders to reach the stations.
The additional speedincrease (e.g. a 5m/s increase for the argon mercury super freighter) is certainly okay but doesn't cover the larger distances IMO, so I appreciate the additional traders

I'm only 5 minutes into a new game anyway...

I still cannot unzip the files without errors. Tried 7zip and this also generated error reports.

The SPK install worked however, so that's what I use right now untill the final version comes along.

One tiny thing though; In CMOD I installed one of the optional plugins, the "signal boost for TC". It works fine when this mod is inactive, but does not work when this one is active. Does this overwrite something? It's a real handy addition with the current distances to fly

And yes both signal boost and this mod make changes to the globals.pck, so whichever gets loaded later (check the cat files) will apply in game.

Keep up the good work

//Edit it indeed seems the zip file has problems, the t\9200-l044.xml and the setup.sfa.sector.names.xml are compressed in an unsupported method.

I think that i will revert to packing in RAR's for the final version, These zip file are a pain in the backside.

Note to all: Final version will be ready for download tomorrow, so if anyone ghas any requests for things that can be quickly added with minimal fuss i'll do my best to oblige!.....(Within Reason ).

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I cannot seem to get this to work. I install the mod using the mod manager and then I start a new game. I am not seeing any of the increased distances, or graphical changes (and i have checked a variety of systems out). Any ideas what is going on?

When you started the game and you get the box where you can adjust all the graphics settings and such, did you go to the 'select mod package' box and selected it?

Thanks mate, did this again, now it works. The Complex cleaner of Gazz did not work then. Uninstalled each and every mod/script and started the game. All worked and the game had 01 through 07 cat/dat.

Installed scripts first, then mods and then the signalboost. Now all works as intended. When the new CMOD comes (later today) and the new background mod (tomorrow) I'll do this all again and when it works I'll restart one final time.

To protect myself, I will probably not visit the forum then

Great stuff nonetheless
