I do not, other sites don't host as well as mediafire and I don't want to maintain multiple uploads. I will look at moddb soon, not sure if that provides it's own hosting, that should help if it does.



Thanks... looking forward to trying it out once I can download it.. Not sure why Mediafire download catpcha is not working..

Status: offline 		Hi, new to the game and by extension, to modding the game. Taking the suggestion from Das, I installed the mod and while setting up first game I noticed that some of basic races have had their image changed. For a couple of them, the Kiadian and Haakonish in particular, I like the stock versions of them better. Is there a way for one to go back to the basic games image for those races and if so how would one do that? I make requests like this in other games but also get blasted for it. Please, don't mistake me and take anything bad from this as a lot of the races look great and it's awesome having such a much more varied selection.

you would have to replace the images of undesired pictures with the ones from the base game. ask Darkspire for details if need be he has a grip on the modding aspect.

Status: offline 		I've just purchased the game and I'm trying to install the Extended universe mod for the steam version. I've followed the youtube video and placed the unzipped archive into the custom folder in the steam directory, loaded up the game, and can't seem to load the DW Extended Universe 1.0 Theme. I get an empty description box. Am I missing something? I'm itching to play the game with this "essential" mod everyone's talking about. I would appreciate anyone's help, thanks!

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. GG

If so, I have many home-made species which I would like to add to the DW Extended mod, or perhaps even share with the public.

Not when you need to combine the biases.txt files. This is what basically killed my modding efforts for half a year. :P

I'm still interested in the answer if there is a race number cap. Help please :)

You're welcome.

@Solarius Scorch
No idea what the races cap is.

@pycco
I had something like 4300+ downloads of the most recent version of the shadows mod. The Universe version has had 1759, more than any previous version this early in it's release. There is also people distributing my mod in their own versions so that probably reduces the hits.

@tilarium
There is but it isn't ideal. I would need to name a load of characters and set how many skills/traits they start with, even though I can set them random, it's not what I'd want to do. The request for this feature has gone in quite a few times.

I suspect that the mod hasn't been updated yet for the new patch. Give a day or two and try to see if he has updated the mod for the new Game version. :D

There shouldn't be an update for the patch.

Do you have a save file? I can pass it on for Elliot to look at.

Status: offline 		In 1.9.4.7 which also applies to the current version there was a change for race resources.

In your mod, the new races says this 'ResourceType: 0=None, 1-41 (which resource, see Modding Guide)

while 1.9.5.0 says:

'ResourceId: -1=None, 0-XX (which resource, see Modding Guide)

This may or not cause bugs, because each of the race resources would now be -1 different than they were before in the current version. So really anything that use to be 0 should be -1.

12. changed race special resources (Resource1Type, Resource2Type, Resource3Type) so that
ZERO DOES NOT = NONE, now -1=None, while 0-XX=ResourceId of resource. This
change requires any existing race mod files to be updated
now clear list of galaxy maps when change themes (i.e. not showing galaxy maps from
previous themes)

So what use to be this

Resource1Type ;14 =Iridium? is now = Gold
Resource1Effect ;1
Resource1Amount ;5

The default races seem to be correct with their 1.9.5.0 versions. It's just that if you want to fix your old races to be what you wanted them to be before you'd have to change that info. Perhaps you did fix that already but left the version numbers and that comment info outdated?

Status: offline 		In my current game as the Yor I've so far had no(more?) luck in replicating the crash. The only thing I did differently was not modifying my homeworld at the start of the game with the editor. In all the other games I modified the homeworld to have the maximum number of resources (8) and a 5-10% development ruins. I was keskudons kiadians and a few others in the games that did crash.

Well, now I'm getting a crash on loading the most recent autosave of that game, though the other autosaves are just fine. Here's the link to it.
Auto Save
Again, keep in mind this is with the energy research mod for Expanded.

Oh and the crash dump that went with it.

Status: offline 		When I tried to go through the cosmodex, it seemed as though all the new races simply replaced old ones in the image files, but it didn't show any new entries. Is this a replace of the races? Also, before the game released, I remember seeing the races listed and described, why did you take them down?

EDIT: I picked my race, and this is a simple replace. The exact same number of playable species is there, but with different images. Is this intentional?

Also planning to add in some of the awesome ship sets I've been finding around. This is what I do when I really get into a game that allows modding.

Status: offline 		Check out Can you create new races? midway down the 1st page me and Darkspire answered that guys question on that. You'll understand how the shipsets are loaded once you read the invidiual races.txt so human.txt for example in the races folder. But the image folder for ships is set to 26 hardcoded maybe but most sets have 26 max and you'll just want to add some extra families than there are races so that you can use those as extra ship images because not all ships come with predefined images in the family. \Distant Worlds Universe\images\units\ships which you'll understand eventually.

There should be a total of 40 alien races listed in the Galactopedia, if you don't see that many then something has gone wrong in the installation of the mod.
