Quick Start mod + Extra Content mod
« on: April 19, 2012, 02:40:34 PM »

Two very minor mods, I hope they are enjoyable/useful to starting players

Quick Start mod: 3 separate mods for low/mid/high tech starting and respawn fleets. (BE MINDFUL OF ACCIDENTS!!!)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/epejwh
The quick start mod does not change any gameplay elements, its still a pure vanilla experience with the exception of giving you a large starting fleet of your choice (low/mid/high tech), as well as doing the same for your respawn fleet.

Extra Content mod: for now it adds only 153 extra portraits. (second version, fixed 2 pics, removed bad pics, added CNR pics)

The extra content mod does not change any gameplay elements, its still a pure vanilla experience just with some extra portraits added.

Portrait examples:




Before I noted that these mods were not compatable. I was wrong, so very, very wrong. You can combine them, and this is what happens when you turn all 3 of them on.

All portraits in this mod have come from my other posts where I said everyone was free to use them. So yes, please use everything in any of these 4 mods to your heart's contend.

TBH I was hoping this was a mod that gave you different amounts of ships.  I guess I miss interpreted the title.  To clarify for others low tech is a Hegemony fleet (about 300fleet points),  medium tech is an independent tech fleet (about 360fleet points), high tech is a Tri-Tachyon fleet (about 400fleet points),

Vandala could you make a mod that allowed you to choose your starting ships or a mod that allowed you to start with more than just 1 ship, but not a whole fleet?

Thanks for the great work you are doing in the modding community!  :)

I've bin working on that for a little while now and I'm finding out neat little things that have a cool effect regarding this. However, I have no experience with anything other then high-tech ships so I'm just not in any position to make weapon and hull modification layouts for the other factions. Either someone else needs to do that or they have to give me ideas. And with that I mean ideas that actually work, not just stuff you'd like to see, actual functional designs that the computer AI can handle or variants specially designed to be handled by the player.

Anyway those mods won't be added to these, they will be posted elsewhere. You'll see them eventually.

HUZZAH!

The Poni hath been doubled!

and it seems the portrait mod is incompatible with everything.

EDIT!: And the Mass Effect Luna portrait (my avatar image) is broken, its look is wrong (as in its hard as heck to figure out what one it is) and it crashes my game when I try to use it as a portrait. DOUBLE EDIT: Make that all the portraits.

TRIPLE EDIT: I'm on a Mac because that changes everything.

Now that is weird, I'll take another look at those things but I'm kinda clueless why your having trouble.

EDIT: Also. It's good to see fellow ponies on the forum. It seems Starfarer is attracting more of our kind. This is good, very good. Soon will shall flood this forum in a rainbow of colors.

I've worked on the mod some more, added a few new pictures of CNR, removed one picture I could not fix and fixed two pictures (including the luna one).

As for the crash, I'm completely puzzled, this mod does not do much, it adds pictures and add a player faction file, that's all it does. I've even compared the mods faction file with the original faction file with the Meld program and apart from the added pictures they are identical accept for an extra empty line at the end of the file (something my text editor does automatically) which should be meaningless.

I have no idea where the crash comes from sorry.

EDIT: I've also categorized the pictures into male/female in case that becomes important in the future.)

EDIT: Also I've tried combining the mods, they work perfectly for me.
