It's unlikely that Fierce is going to be able to do anything regarding that bug/ issue. It's a problem tied to some conflict on components (or a specific component) above #256, it is something that Elliot or some other Distant Worlds dev would need to look into but I imagine their busy with other things right now.

Fierce, I possess copies of versions 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 (exactly as you released them) of your work. You are welcome to any of them if you need them, just let me know and I'll do what I can to send the data to you.



Rikoom -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (6/19/2015 3:19:11 PM)

I'm so sad about this amazing mod !

I played some hours without problems until i found some crusaders and destroyers. Then they become huge (XL size) and their maintenances increase x10 or more in one shot.

I'm so sad because I see all the work done on this mod [:(]



Franky007 -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (6/19/2015 4:56:22 PM)

You could reduce the number of components to 255 by extending each technology with more upgrade instead of new components...

And maybe reduce the number of technology lines(for example 2 lines for constructions should be enough).



IDoY -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (6/19/2015 5:09:30 PM)

Still looking for v0.09.



RiftHick -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (6/19/2015 6:54:35 PM)

Fierce knows all that Francoy, I've even offered to do it for him. However Fierce as opted to wait it out.

That said I will disagree with you on reducing tech projects, if you reduce them you then have 70~ or so race files who's project orders you have to completely re-write some partially others almost entirely something you don't need to do when just increasing expansion of <#255 components is more than adequate as a temporary fix and certainly much quicker. Alternatively it might just wind up being most time-effective thing to do nothing but wait on the devs for their thoughts or actions.



Phuket -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (6/22/2015 8:49:27 AM)

You can bet I'll be giving this mod a run through! Its coming out fantastic! [:D]



danymatrix -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (7/4/2015 6:10:51 PM)

any news?



patekm -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/1/2015 1:06:11 AM)

I love this mod, I personally can't even bring myself to play the base game anymore since having run this. That said, version 1.01 isn't playable, due to the component bug. I respect that the modder wants to wait it out and have the game fixed, especially given that this was an actual feature in a recent patch (upping the 255 components). BUT, in the meantime, here we wait. Does anyone feel like sharing a link to version 0.9? Please? I deleted my copy not even a few days after getting 1.01, and wow I regret it. I even used the internet archive to find the old link to version 0.9 on this forum but it had already been taken down.

Version 0.9 is playable given the current state of affairs. Can someone please upload it somewhere?



LordArkham -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/4/2015 7:06:59 PM)

I've read a lot of this thread - I assume that the thing to do is not install the mod at all and wait?



patekm -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/5/2015 3:25:35 AM)

I would suggest trying it. It appears that the modder himself was not experiencing the bug, which should be apparent very quickly in your playthrough, namely that gigantic pirate ships will be littered throughout your space because they will have become stuck wherever they were at when the bug hit.



fierceking -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/21/2015 8:32:21 PM)

Well it looks like no fix will happen anytime soon. And since I have some time, I will try fixing this mod.

The only solution, that will work will be what RiftHick suggested in a previous post.

And that is to remove all the components above 255 and re-use older components with the new component stats. That should work but would take some time.

I will update when there is progress.



fierceking -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/22/2015 5:36:59 PM)

Updated to version 1.05

What error are you getting?

And what version of DW are you using?



Hanekem -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/23/2015 5:15:55 PM)

I am running the latest version of DW.
As for the Error, I need to check, but something about not finding the component.
EDIT: more precisely, can't load the .BMP of the component, maybe a link got left in the mod?

I am sure i downloaded the latest version of the mod too, v1.05.



fierceking -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/23/2015 7:40:14 PM)

It looks like I deleted some of the bmp images.

Download this file and replace the old one. This is only if you already downloaded 1.05.

Download how? It just opens to code.



fierceking -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/23/2015 11:19:01 PM)

Use this link instead if your having problems with other link

Aerial -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/23/2015 11:31:22 PM)

Thanks for the new link.

I didn't want to say anything in case I was just failing to install that properly, but I can't seem to switch my game over to Starfall.

I keep getting this:
Could not load required image: Distant worlds universe/images/ui/components/Component_256.bmp

And I am using 1.05, with the components file overwritten with the new one.



fierceking -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/23/2015 11:55:28 PM)

Not sure why it's giving errors since the mod doesn't use the images anymore.

Here are the files...

You will need to delete the components folder inside my mod. And replace with this folder which contains all the bmp images. It basically has all component images from 0 to 287. That should fix it

Hanekem -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/24/2015 12:08:14 AM)

I tried 1.06 and got another error, this time with the galaxy_backdrop.jpg, can't find it or open it. the error message is not very clear.

It sat there loading the new theme for a full minute again and I thought it was going to give me the same error message, but it successfully switched to Starfall.
Thanks for the help, fierce.

Good to hear that it finally works I think

Can you check the galaxy backdrop folder and see if there are 3 images in there?

C:\Matrix Games\Distant Worlds Universe\Customization\DW - Starfall\images\environment\galaxybackdrops

You should see these 3 files

Hanekem -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/24/2015 12:36:37 AM)

I have them, not sure what is the problem

Not sure what the problem is. I never touched those images.

Try switching back to default mod and then back to my mod and see if that does anything.

then try...
Delete my mod, start the game and test if it runs the default game. Then if that is ok, reinstall my mod and check if you still get the error

Yeah, going back to default and then selecting the mod did it, it probably was the strain of going from a mod to another. Thanks!



Unreal2004 -> RE: [WIP] DW - Starfall - version 1.01 (8/24/2015 4:20:58 PM)

Thanks for the 256 bug update and keeping this alive!!
