STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

[Atrocities]

READ THE INSTALLATION FILE

Question: I get errors saying that I do not have a BMP file. Why?
ANSWER: You need to install the Image Mod Components/Facilities/Planets/Combat modules.

You can download the latest Versions of all the image mod components (Components, Facilities, Planets, Combat) from IMAGE MOD MIRROR Site

It is recommended that you also download and install the Image Mods www.spaceempires.net to your BASE Space Empires IV Pictures Folder. This way ALL mods that require images from those mods will have access to them.

For the Star Trek Mod Web Page.

1. I used WinRar and set it up as a self installing program.

2. I removed the Components and Facilities files since they are redundent and are included in the latest Versions of the Image Mod.

NOTE: If any image is not included, and they all should be, let me know I will post the entire Facilities and Component files for download and you can add them to your BASE folder or mod folder which ever one you prefer.

i don't know what is wrong with my game...i even downloaded the older Versions of the mod and took the pictures manually to the folder, but still the game requires pics i don't have...i COULD rename some pics to fit in, but which ones....i don't know what those borg facilities look like for example...
it's funny that the mod requires pics e.g. 332.bmp and i have all from 1.bmp to 328.bmp and all from 335.bmp to whatever...so those needed files are missing in between and i don't know where to get them, i installed all the latest imagemod pics i could find... :-/

maybe i just try another mod...

I did an install of the 1.7.2 full Version on another computer--and i got the same missing image error-- all i did was add the facilities and components files from my other install and it worked ok. So i am assuming that the removal of those files caused the error. --just a heads up

Dubrok--this means that nothing is wrong--you just need to wait till Atrocities uploads the files--or download one of the earlier full Versions and look in the mods picture folder--and copy facilities and components into you 1.7.2 full Version.

hi,
i just downloaded the star trek mod but when i start a game there are white squares where planets should be?! some planets are fine and i can see them, but some are not there, just the squares and give me an error msg that some files in the planet directory cannot be found. i looked there and saw only filenames(numbers) up to p0302.bmp but the error msg tells something about p0609.bmp not found (and other higher numbers)
did i install the mod wrong? or do i need some more planetfiles?
i use latest Version of seiv gold and star trek mod.
it is the first time i tried a mod :-/
thanks for the help,
Dubrok

Sounds like you need the imagemod - which can be obtained from spaceempires.net download section.

EDIT: go here: http://imagemod.spaceempires.net/

of course, I am not an expert, but I had the same problem and I fixed it by copying in the imagemod (adds new images for planets/components/facs/etc...)

thanks

I am going to make this real simple.

I took out the component/facilities images. You need to download the latest Version of the image mod and install those into your base SE IV pictures folder.

Component Pack 22

If the new images are not in this pack, and I am checking, then I will post the missing images for download.

[Atrocities]

Comp_331 and Comp_332 are not in the latest Version of the image mod. :|

So until such time as someone has the interest to update the image mod you can download the two missing images from HERE

This is what happens when you consolidate all mod images into one file. Something is always left out, and never added. So much for not trying to be redundent.

And for your info, the bandwidth on the site has been exceeded by 2x and will more than likely result in it being shut down soon. In that event hopefully Fyron can find the time to download the mod and patch files and place them on SpaceEmpires.net site.

[Atrocities]

Since the beginning of the month the AST mod has been downloaded 292 times and all Versions of the STM combined only 192 times.

Well I guess we know which mod is more popular.
