Default Battlestar Galactica MOD V2.0 release

I've been promising it for a while, so here it is! There are some things that are already being tweaked and worked on. Until I churn out another update, Enjoy!

[EDIT] Changed Galactica's long range gun from a missile launcher to a long range version of the Flak cannon, this looks a lot more like the show then the missiles. [/EDIT]

[EDIT] Update 2.2
Changes:
-Galactica's siluette has been updated
-Galactica's anti-cap ship guns have a more noticeable smoke trail
-Galactica's guns have been tweaked and moved to allow more missiles/fighters through and given more realistic firering arcs
-Galactica can launch 3 wings (12 total) of Vipers
-Basestar missiles now target fighters
-Basestars fire more missiles
-Cylon missile sprites have been changed to look more "Cylon"
-Basestars can launch 8 wings (24 total) of Raiders
-Fixed some minor "features" in my "code" that lead to some preatty random crashes
[/EDIT]

Yes I replaced the original with the update (no need to keep the old one around when there is a newer one)

Yeah, the new one is good enough to dispose of the last one. It only needs a few changes, smoke for the long guns, more fighters for both sides, and more missiles for the Cylons.

Did you watch the show last night?
I think it's fair to assume that Galactica has the same armaments as the Pegasus. When Lee brought the Pegasus around to open fire on one of the Basestars, two distinct types of ammunition were fired out of the forward-facing guns. There were long-range simple projectile weapons (like your long-range Flak cannon). However, there were also projectiles of some kind that left a massive smoke trail & also glowed yellow/orange which suggests that they are missiles.

Yeah I did notice that. But I assume that because Pegasus is a newer ship, she would have what Galactica has and then some. I don't think that Galactica has fixed main guns like Pegasus does, since in every battle I've seen she is broadsiding her opponents. However I have also seen schematics (mostly for the old series) for Galactica where they mention a "missile battery." I am going to err on the side of caution and keep things the same until I see proof or significant evidence otherwise.

On another note, I have released an update. This pushed my MOD up to version 2.2 (and I used to think that I wasn't going to update as often as I have been). I am looking for top-down views of Colonial Rapters, Pegasus, and Cylon Heavy Raiders (preferably high-res or screen caps from the show) so I can add them into my MOD. I will be making a full conversion if I can find (most of) these three ships, but until I do this MOD will stay low-key.

Enjoy!

As I mentioned in my last post I am looking for topdown views of Rapters, Heavey Raiders and the Battlestar Pegasus. I might have a shot of a Raptor (although it isn't very good). I am going to need some help looking for pictures of these ships. Any help in locating these ships would be greatly appreciated.

Okay I am new to the game and sofar I am loving it and I decided to DL some mods.
Every mod works for except this one. Everytime I start the mod I got thrown back to my desktop.

Like BorStonefist, I'm also unable to run the BSG 2.0 mod. For some reason, it fails to launch. I'm going to try all the various screen resolutions to see if that might be the problem, but so far I've tried 800x600 and 1024x768 without luck.

Just checked this again, works fine here. Are you playing on Mac or PC?

It's not a Mac thing.
Just tried this Mod on my worst Mac (2 x 500 MHz G4) and it seems to work fine.
Only used a low res screen though.
I'll try it tomorrow on my PowerBook, and see how it flies on that.
I can also get to have a good look at this Mod then too!
p.s. Thanks for the Mod OmegaMagus, I'll give some feedback when I've had a proper play with it ;-)
