This article is AWESOME! Besides being a kudo for the mod community, it has some really detailed information about how to make a mod.

Anybody that's new and is thinking of making a mod should definatly read this article.

Scroll down teh left side and look for "Space Empires IV - Modifying the universe in a day"

A very deep and detailed article!
Well done Tampa!!

[Devnullicus]

Wow! Great article! I wish I'd had some of that info when I started modding things -- would've made fewer mistakes =) Ah well. My mod even got mentioned, amazingly =)

[Tampa_Gamer]

Ah Geez, I'm blushing. . .Thanks!

Hot damned! My site is actually mentioned! Man that brings a smile to my face. Gotta love those guys at Computer Games Online.

Chris Traber did an excellent job writing that article. A most informative read. Too bad my site went down and my addressed changed. I wonder how I could go about letting him know? Any whoo, all the ship sets that I had at the UCP site are in the mod section here for download until I can get my FTP server thingy working at my new site. Again, a great atricle. Thanks for bring it to our attention.

I'm famous!

Heh.

I haven't done anything on Derek's Mod (aka Davesmodsv11) in quite a long time, as life has interfered. Also, quite frankly, at this point, the DevNull Mod has incorporated and improved many of the things I did, and I really feel like anything I did would just be copying his.

It is nice to know, however, that I still get mentioned in the review on cdmag.

He knows Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do. The article was written prior to the SE4 multiple download sections, so a lot of links had to be removed at the Last moment (I had originally included links to every mod). I also included about 2-3 more pics that did make it into the final edit by cdmag due to size restrictions. Oh well. The main thing I wanted was to provide a road map for mod makers/Users to understand file conflicts and the potential of custom mods. I am happy that all of the tables made it in and if people find it useful, that is reward enough.

Are you kidding, Dave? I haven't played with Devnullicus' mod yet, but the original ideas you playtested with and put forth are still in the game mod I regularly play with. Great stuff, and I'll have to check out Devnull's Version.

Looking forward to seeing anything else you might come up with once Real Life unasserts itself.
