hi,
im thinking on a rebuild for sotm2.
Interesting. Partial or full? and what's your ideas on the rebuild?
Details man! Generalities make my teeth itch
well,
i wanna redo most of the concepts,
for one - the fetures, i wanna remove the crystals, and use the final frontier purple nebula as dust feature, just like jungle, ofc ill recolor it to greyish.
remove the aliens complete - i dont remeber if this version already don thave them.
the barbarians will be phenomenas , radiation and such, without cities.
redo the resource systems, do some manufactring bonuses.
i wanna find a suitble map as well.
change and add units buildings, wonders.
and maybe add some leader pictures, not sure though.
but generally, i wanna refresh the mod to be a fun playble mod, maybe even better then my barsoom.
im stil thinking if i want a full land map, or a regular "ocean" like terrain.
and some more unique game style.

AHA!!!!!!!!
I NOW NO WHY THE GUYS FROM A FEW MONTH REPORTED A CRASH UPON GAME LOAD!!!!
i bet a million bucks that they played with "grid" option on, sotm2 dont have art for grid (stupid move by me), so if you played a mod with grid then try to load the sotm2 mood, youll get a ctd....
im smart idiot

ye.. i amaze my self sometimes.
anyway,
im adaoting the nebula to sotm, its greyish, its so nice.
my aim is to remove the supernatural stuff, aliens, weird crystals and so.
the theme is going to be good old fashion colonization of the moon.

LOL, Kel, if you use mapview2 in addition WB, it has a layer option to do that. Additionally, if you actually want the moon, import NASA's map of the lunar surface into Mapview2, and then tweak to your diabolical hearts content.

I Always play with the Grid On!
So to play Sotm2 I need to play a mod with the Grid Off and then load sotm2. Should I also hold down the shift key while it loads to clear the cache?

EDIT: Played a turn of barsoom with Grid turned off, Then loaded SotM2 and it plays! 1st time I've gotten to see the lunar surface! Yeah!!!
im so pleased to hear that my good joseph,
two days ago while working on sotm2, i tuned on the grid - cause im gonna redo the terrain to be more stylesh, so i turned the grid on - got a crash - then i say theres no grid files,
a day passed - i tried to load the mod yesterday - got a crash - took me two hours to understand i left the grids on, then i thoguth of you and all the stuff i did to try and fix, so i figured thats why you never could load the mod.....silly me......
anyway - if gonna play this one, glcuk, not sure about the balane and stuff, but it would be interesting to know which is better in your eyes - barsoom or this
ill be working my ass off on the week end to supply a sotm2 by sutterday.
*****
THIS IS LIKE building up a new mod
first ill do all the terrain stuff, new terrain, new replaced features , then resources, then improvements.
then barb units" uv radiation , gamma radiation, dust storm, those will scale up with the tech.
then some civs stuff, like unquie resourse with platypings mod, rather then buildings like now.
and then units+tech tree.
then buildings+wonders.

im gonna make this mod to be my best one yet
i decided to go with terra, terra2 and tactonics map scripts. i think those will surve the best as a moon maps. i will include archipelago as well - but basically, you can play any map you wish.
ive reworked all the features and the improvements arts.
now im replacing the "alien" units with nature stuff - like types of radiation and such.
im removing the "sci fi" aspect in the current version. i want the theme to be realistic colonization of the moon. barbs are now names "phenomenon".
cheers.
