Eclipse Mod 1.0 Full

[Zaamon]

I have some problems when I take "Sparse Maze" type quadrant.
All systems have same type nebula. No stars and only planets are homeworlds. Nebula properties are "LV 1 advanced scanning required to see in this nebula.

Is it me or are ships designed to move very fast!?

[Kevin Arisa]

I made traveling easier and faster. Of course you cant go too fast without burning out your supplies. I wanted the distance you can go to be based largely on your supply limit rather than engine speed. However I've had a hard time trying to balance out the speed vs supply burn ratio. Newer engines are supposed to be faster and more effecient but i dont want them overpowered. At least not until the end. I plan on doing some revisions to the engines in the next patch.

[EDIT] Oh, and I have no clue about the map problem. I ported over Fyrons quadrants so I didn't make them. I have yet to try a maze map myself.

Fyron, do you have a gamer-in-distress radar or something?

It is a perpetually reoccuring issue.

Strange. Number of system types dropped to 1... Open Eclipse\Data\QuadrantTypes.txt, search for the Sparse Maze entry, and change

Number of System Types := 1

to

Number of System Types := 117

Well, I've done most of the files, but haven't finished reformatting the planets yet, which will take some time. I'll let you know if this works. If it does, I might send it all back to you to update files for Win98 folks.

I have started a list for changes to the next patch.

Done:

1. Research Lab effeciency reduced.
2. Rune of Detonation availability and self destruct added.
3. Tweaked many rsearch costs.
4. Fixed the Chaos Generator.
5. Allowed Stellar Sails on drones.
6. Increased ancient facilities build costs.
7. Improved many combat images.
8. Repaired a few typos and incorrect discriptions.
9. Interceptor Missile now targets units.
10. Added Terran speech file.

Waiting to be done:

1. Mana Force AI
2. Replace stars with bad masking and cut off.

Please contribute to this list.

Eclipse doesn't use most of the planets from ImageMod. it uses mostly the components and facilities. Nearly all of the planets are new. I submitted them to ImageMod a couple times but SJ hasn't gotten around to it yet. Also some of the new nebula contribute to the size.

Which ones? Have you downloaded the latest version?

This is an issue with all old versions of the FQM. It has been spotted several times before. I believe it has been fixed in the latest version... is it Fyron?

[Fyron]

It is a bug in the latest released version.
