Windows 2k is by far the best MS OS to date...

Hi, just installed the latest Star Trek Mod (thanks Atrocities!), and found that I need the Image Mod.

I'm just trying to figure out what is the latest Version, and best place to get it. It looks like the 'official site' is Suicide Junkie's site (http://www.geocities.com/hohoho611ca/imagepack.html), but SE.net seems to have a later Version. Then theres Atrocities update (16 Sep) in the Official Image Collection thread. Should I download the SE.net Version then patch with Atrocities update?

I believe you are looking at the obselete mirror. It is no longer the home page of the Image Mod, and is being phased out of the links pages on the mirrors. http://fqm.spaceempires.net/ is IIRC the most up-to-date mirror, save the one SJ hosts from his PC at times. The files linked to on that mirror (SE.net one) are the same files on the SE.net downloads database, of course.

Hey Atrocities, I know you're on dial up, so this wouldn't be a good thing for you to do. But one of us on high speed could produce a zipped copy of the complete 1.2.5 mod (not just the update). If one of us (say me) produced the complete download for 1.2.5, would there be a home for it? Would Shrapnel allow us to put it here?

Of course. Why would they not? Make sure to use WinRar to make the zip, as it will be several megabytes smaller (assuming you use Best compression) than anything WinZip could ever do. I would also encourage the use of self-extracting RAR files instead of ZIPs, as they are several megabytes smaller still (FQM Deluxe 2.03 Full was 12.5 MB, the same file for 2.05 is only 9 MB). I am sure you can agree that smaller file sizes are a plus?

Thank you Fyron

I have uploaded a small patch for the full Version to fix the UCP Research file that is bad. www.astmod.com/startrek/stm.htm

Yes by all means if you want to create a zipped copy doing what Fyron suggested, by all means please do so.

The new components for the Star Trek Mod are included WITH the mod. You won't need to update the Image mod components module until SJ updates it.

Thanks for the help guys.

Having a little trouble getting a response from the SE.net server, but I'll get there eventually.

Forgive me if this has been stated already but when are we starting the game?

[General Woundwort]

Tesco's on vacation at the moment. When he gets back (this weekend I think?), we start.

Well it is down... so you must now look elsewhere.

[Atrocities]

I hope to start the game as soon as Tesco is back and the Game is updated to 1.2.5.

The new Version works with old saved games so you EMP's are fine, but if you want to rework them or just resubmit them prior to the game starting, please email them to me @ [email protected] or [email protected]

I think there is a problem with the new secttype.txt file, it's missing a lot of the entries that were in the previous Versions...it causes errors with maps and such.

Check out DavidG's 'Map not working' thread to find out what those problems are!

[Atrocities]

Thanks.

I did not edit or do anything to that file to the best of my recollection. So I do not understand why it is causing problems.

If someone could fix it and send me a copy I would be greatful.
