Star Wars: The Mod Awakens 1.11

[Meteor Man]

Hey guys, I would very much like to edit the space race victory condition for this mod, but I can't figure out what ties the space race graphics to the buildings. Is it the names of the files? There doesn't seem to be anything linking them in the pediaicons... I'm also having trouble finding anything about editing the space race on the forums.

Any help is greatly appreciated

nevermind, I finally saw the "Spaceship Part" dialog in the editor. My bad.

nevermind, I finally saw the "Spaceship Part" dialog in the editor. My bad.

I made a short summary about editing the space race before you edited this post and may be it still can be helpful as it also includes other parts of editing the space race victory, too:

Spoiler :

1. Editor:
a) General settings: Number of Spaceship Parts
b) Improvements and Wonders: Give names to the parts

2.Text:
a) PediaIcons: Use SS_Entries (BLDG 64-73) or use any other building slot
b) Civilopedia:
- GCON_Entry; per example in CCM1: GCON_Race_to_the_Moon
#GCON_Entry; per example in CCM1: #GCON_Race_to_the_Moon
- BLDG_Entries for each of the 'Spaceship'-Parts

3. Art:
a) Civilopedia folder: Building_large and_small images of the spaceship parts
b) City Screen folder: buildings-large and -small files
c) SpaceShip folder: Use and change the graphics you like, use the SHIPbackground graphics as the base for your 'space race' victory
d) VictoryScreen folder: Chance the space_victory graphics if wanted

 

[Meteor Man]

Thank you very much Civinator, that is helpful.

 

[Meteor Man]

I can not for the life of me figure out why I can't add a working Army unit. I swear the one I added is identical to the base game army and I can't even activate it in-game because it has "0" movement points for some reason. Does anyone know why this is happening to me?

for the love of god why

edit: solved! Units that carry starfighters can't load into armies.

Is the Republic Class Destroyer supposed to take longer to autoproduce than the MC90? It's stats are lower across the board (18.17.3 vs 19.18.4)

Indeed; I noticed that recently. The next update, (which is coming very soon I promise) will switch the MC90 and Republic classes around in the tech progression. It's a rather large update, and it also adds Heroes. At least 2 of them, anyway.

 

[8BitArchitect]

One more "feature" I noticed was that due to to the close proximity of some planets, you can occasionally build Environmental Control on a non-ecumenopolis. If this is intended then it works just fine, but it was a little confusing at first.

EDIT: This also applies to any other building that requires resources within range of the city, such as Jedi Temples.

Yeah that's a pain to get right, and not intended. I'll go back and look at the ecumenopoleis.

The core worlds are especially a little b**** to get right because the planets are so close together. I'll have to do some planet-moving.

e: I moved Anaxes, Shawken, Brentaal, Tython, Ord Ibanna, and Xagobah: the most egregious offenders. If you find another planet with this problem let me know.

I hate to suggest something that will be a lot of work for potentially very little payoff, but have you considered making the map bigger? The maximum size a ("square") map can be is 362x362. That would pretty much eliminate the need to have planets that close (I think.)

Oh indeed, that's a far-off goal of mine to do, but it was far easier to simply move some planets a tile to the side to fix this particular problem.

When I do get around to making a larger map, I'll also be adding far more planets.

 

[nick0515]

Wow this looks completely awesome man! I am super impressed! Hopefully I will get a chance to play it sometime soon.

 

[Meteor Man]

Thanks a bunch, nick0515. Give this next version a shot.

[Meteor Man]

v1.4 is going to be massive. In addition to some minor bug-fixing, some extra features are teased below:

Spoiler :

galactic map still subject to change between now and release (in fact it's already been changed; this map is missing Oba Diah and the Pyke Syndiicate)

• over 30+ 45+ new planets, filling out some sparse areas
• completely revamps the unit stats
  
• added the Black Sun, Zahn Consortium, and Pyke Syndicate factions
• added pirates and some well-known pirate bases. Ex. Lok's Revenants
• added uninhabited planets to make the map more interesting
• added map labels, and more interesting things to the map such as stellar voids
  
• a dozen+ new wonders, some pre-placed
• more hero units
  
• new leaderhead flags for the minor factions
• adding new custom diplomacy text. Now it feels like you're actually speaking with Thrawn for example
  
• added Sithspawn
• added a superweapon (Bet you can't guess which one! Far more powerful than the Death Star)
• added Jedi/Sith artifacts to power said superweapon
  
• new starships of course

all of this is taking a little time, but expect it promptly as I unexpectedly have a ton of time this semester and am using it wisely.

Also, if a graphical editor thinks he/she is capable of making the hyperlanes look good without roads, I am in dire need of your services. Thanks!

update: am working feverishly to get this released on May the Fourth!

 

[Meteor Man]

I've downloaded and played with the "New Republic"... and lost in less than 20 turns. The "Imperial Remnants" and the "New order" easily wiped out my only 2 cruisers with a flood of Star Destroyers, then proceed to take over my planets, crushing the Nebulon Bs I had left. It is impossible to survive with this faction...

Gotcha; I'm eyes deep in another update that's coming out soon, so I'll also include a buff for the New Republic. Thanks for the heads-up!

Found a bug! "art\civilopedia\icons\races\hapessmall.pcx" is missing; triggered it when I went to the tribes category.

I like the Spotify playlist; do you plan on adding any music to the game itself?

JUST got this though, look forward to playing it!

You're in luck, I literally just added all the music to the mod itself last night. I was getting tired of opening Spotify every time I wanted to play.

The update also includes a couple of bug-fixes including a fix for the one you pointed out, thanks a bunch.
