Space Food Empires!

[Captain Kwok]

Greetings!

Lots of stuff going on in regards to the mod. First of all is the the new website: http://sfe.captainkwok.net/home.html, which is currently up to date. I've neglected to update the space yards part with the proper info, but I figured working on the mod itself is a priority at the moment.

I've finished off the components.txt file as much as is possible before mass testing and I'm fairly happy with it. I ended getting a lot more done with the file than I anticipated for the initial release. It's just under 1.5Mb!

The facility.txt file is the file I'm working on right now entering data for various empire-specific facilities. Those should be entered by Tue March 15. These are mainly the facilities listed on the technology pages at the website as "data pending" for notes.

Then I have to update the AI Design, Research, and Facility files to match the recent changes I've made to the mod. It shouldn't take long because they just need to be updated and not re-written. This should allow for some basic AI with some degree of functionality for testing.

Lastly I need to make empire files for the main empires (a cut and paste job) and decide on some initial trait values in line with their strengths and weaknesses. Oh yeah, make some combat images for Meat thru Vegetable races (it's always alphabetical for me) so that means about 40 little pics to do.

Note the mod will not require the imageMod at this time. All images used are stock ones, and the combat pics come with the mod.

I really want to get it out by next Sat March 19.
