[mod] The Song Of The Moon 2

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 :D
 
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 :)

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! :lol:

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!!! :D
 
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.

behold the new moon terrain:

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.
