...you can request that your mod gets added. I'll just have to test it first.

Why would you stare menacingly?

As this mod compilation doesn't alter any vanilla starsector files, it is not similar. It is vanilla Starsector + a whole bunch of fairly vanilla balanced mods. Adding new factions and systems to hyperspace.

The only thing that may be altered beyond what is included in the respective mods are faction relations.

This mod just offers an easy to download and install mod package that goes well with vanilla Starsector.  ;)

I approve this. Also since 0.61a, UsS started a lot to look like a total conversion (or at least the gameplay). With this one, you'll be able to play a simple Vanilla Starsector game with some of your favorite faction without eventual compatibility bug.

Totally agree, mine is more of a mod effort while this is mostly a collection. This actually allows me to further specialize my stuff! Gj Erick, now back to TuP!!!

I'd maybe like to see Antedilluvians get a .61a update. I always enjoyed picking on them in UsC.

Hey Erick love the mod pack, I was wondering could we use this for Exerelin as well, and just check this alongside Exerelin and Lazylib and profit?  ;D

Yes. The necessary changes to Blackrock Driveyards have already been made. Just check all the mods in this pack, plus Exerelin.

Post by: Zaphide on October 31, 2013, 06:40:45 PM
Excellent idea Erick :)

One issue though.

The version of Blackrock Drive Yards you have included will indeed work with Exerelin fine but it won't run it's system generator code if not playing with Exerelin, which is probably less than ideal.

I have modified the appropriate BRDY files and they are located here:
https://bitbucket.org/Zaphide/exerelin/downloads/CharacterCreationPluginImpl.java (https://bitbucket.org/Zaphide/exerelin/downloads/CharacterCreationPluginImpl.java)
https://bitbucket.org/Zaphide/exerelin/downloads/BRModPlugin.java (https://bitbucket.org/Zaphide/exerelin/downloads/BRModPlugin.java)

You could add these to the version you have here and it will work properly for both Exerelin and non-Exerelin games (you will also need to un-comment the modPlugin line in BRDY's mod_info.json).

Otherwise, Cycerin has copies of these already so I suspect the next version of BRDY will be compatible out-of-the-box :) You could then just include that version.

All the mods are put into one zip archive. Just unzip it in your mods folder. There's a detailed instruction on the opening post.

Did you remove all earlier versions of mods in your mod folder? You should never overwrite mods. First delete the old versions before extracting the new ones.

Or is the game laggy? Might be a memory issue. Try disabling one or two mods, like Project Valkyrie or Kadur Theocracy.

Other than that, I don't know what the issue could be.

Yes, I did remove all previous mods...
Nope, it's not laggy...
Okay, I'll try to disable a few mods...
Maybe this will help you to figure out what's the problem, it's from starfarer log...

That may be so. But the game may only be using a part of that. You may have to allocate more memory to Starsector specifically. Also, it depends on your operating system. A 32 bit windows will not use 8 GB of RAM. 64 bit, on the other hand, will use more.

In your case though, it is likely that you will need to manually assign more memory to Starsector. Several people have written a guide on how to do this.

having 64 bit windows doesn't mean SS uses it, you have to point starsector at you 64-bit java in Vmparams and then run it from the bat file. (because the shortcut won't work anymore.)

basically what the other guy said. ::)

When loading up SS, there were a few crashes with SS complaining about not finding the correct resources (.jpg files and the such) when they were really there. Further inspection shows that the files were misnamed or there was a letter capitalized. While it's not your fault that the files are blowing up in peoples faces, it's probably a good idea to post this anyways so people know if they get a long winded error messages along with SS filling their screen with warnings about how it's going to leak onto your keyboard.

Are you using Linux? Can you tell me what mods were causing the problems? Post a bug report maybe. That way I can straighten out the inconsistant (un)capitalised file types and file names.

I've already reported Zorg related files, and I know for sure that Blackrock has some of them - but I completely forgot to report and I can't remember now. :(
I haven't tested Valkyres, though, but I believe I tested the rest (although with Exerelin but I doubt you changed the capitalizations randomly ;) )

The Zorg Z Pyramid hull files were giving me issues. Then the Black Rock had a file as well. Id on't remember precisely, but now I'm having issues loading up my saves. SS keeps complaining about them being incompatible.

I'm having the issue on both Linux and Windows 7 x32.

Do you use the mods in ModdedStarsectorV2.5? Or an earlier version? Because I fixed the Pyramid's file name in the latest version.

I don't know what it could be with Blackrock Driveyards. I suggest you post in that specific thread so Cycerin can look into it.

If you can post the starsector error log, I might be able to help.

Updating soon with the latest versions of several mods.

To modders: Please remove images and sounds that you don't use in your mod from your released versions. This helps cut down the size of the Modded Starsector package significantly! Even if it is just 2.5 MB in your mod, eight mods makes 20 MB. ;)

I see Kadur's Theocracy there... Have you fixed the save bug for Vayra, Erick? I always liked that faction but couldn't play it because of that bug.

@FiCho
Just to be sure: You did remove all older mod versions before unzipping the new ones, right? Also, are you running on Linux?

@ HELMUT
What bug are you referring to? Or are you talking about the memory leak?


NOTE TO LINUX USERS: Help me make this Linux compatible! If you get an error because of inconsistantly named files (upper- and lowercase) please post them here so I can address these issues and take it up with the modders.

It's not a proper memory leak, it's just that kadur spawns an absurd amount of fleets for many many factions. More then all UsS combined or an advanced exerelin game. vrparams need to be extremely high to handle that!

So, Chrome is calling this mod pack malicious. I thought I read somewhere in these forums that it's just being cautious but there's nothing to worry about. However after skimming the forums quickly I could not locate that reply, so...is it safe? Can something be changed so that Chrome doesn't detect a malicious item, and possibly turn off potential downloaders?

Can you provide screenshot of this warning? I doubt that there is something malicious. And if there IS, I doubt Chrome is the right software to detect it. I seriously doubt Chrome, being nothing more than a browser, has any capabilities to detect real threats.
You can check discussion like this on such matter with Chrome troubles http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/r-9JQIboUmc (http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/r-9JQIboUmc)
Or just use another browser.

tl;dr Chrome decides if link is malicious or not by few very weak factors (is website in trusted list, is that a certain archive), not by actually testing and checking contents of files.

I agree with you, and it was foolish of me to expect Chrome to be a capable malicious content detector

Is there en event or a trigger for the nomads in this compilation?

I just went to their system, and it was empty, upon checking other areas including deep space, there was 0 sightings of any nomad vessel.

The nomads are just that...nomadic, look around there should be like 10 fleets circling their home ship. Might take a while to spawn though  ;)

yeah i know thats the case since ive seen them in the Uomoz compilation, but in there, ive reached rank 20 and still no sighting.

probably will just end up deactivating them since im sure its just bloating my save.

Hello there
Erick, thank you for that collection ) Its awesome
But I've got an issue -  my saves doesn't work.
I've downloaded from the first page of that thread, and activated all the modes at once.
I can start the game nice, in 1440 px resolution, and can do save, but when I'm trying to download the save, it gives me the error.
Please advice. thanks

But still. Its like I've found grandpa's old Mustang '62, and managed to start it. But the wheel stuck.  
I've downloaded it, and proper version of the game, and it started working good. I just need some advice on the save problem.

I'm sure this is a great mod, so please don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day it's still a compilation.
Any updated version would obviously only include mods that we already have access to, so it wouldn't be that much of an improvement.

If Erick Doe did return to work on mods I'd much rather see him resurrect Tore Up Plenty to be honest.

It could be a easy and convenient solution for more less experienced computer users or those who do not have much in terms of free time.
Instead of tracking down every single mod and library whenever they update one could simply install the pack and start a modded game.

The very best thing would be a mod repository of sort and a utility that allows to download every mod from there and handles all the required unzipping, installing and updating but that is far beyond the scope of a modpack.

We have Version Checker (http://bit.ly/1wSPmKE) so that means you only need to track down every single mod once (takes 5 to 10 mins to install the the entire Modiverse with a decent internet connection). Then after that "long" process, Version Checker notifies you when mods need to be updated and it is never a "long" process again at least until Starsector itself updates.

Let's not forget that not everyone can or wants to run all the mods and downloading a mod pack would just be a waste of bandwidth, ESPECIALLY if you couldn't get them separate and one or more of the mods needed an update to fix a bug
