How complicated is it to mix mods.

I am a HUGE Battlestar Galactica fan so I have been playing with that mod, but would love to add these shipsets. I have looked through the races.txt file and see where the ship family values are. So it should be simple enough for me to change those values, right? If I remember correctly we are limited by the number of ship designs families, right? Is it 22?

I'm not familiar with this but I seem to remember one of the lastest patches extending this beyond the 22 limit

Hey all!

The Shandar ships are now available on the first page! Please enjoy! I went without putting antenna on them for now, it was getting a long time since last update, so I just wanted to get them out [:D]

Yes you just have to change those values.  You can only use 22 shipsets (sets 0 to 21).  You can have more than 22 races if you wish, but not more than 22 shipsets.

Indeed, I confused in the deleted post the 22 races limit with the 22 shipsets one - the one for the races was introduced in 1.5.0.1 btw
Great work WoodMan, you don't need to do it all at once [:)]

Nice one, WoodMan. I like those ships without antennas just fine. [8D]

Thanks all [:)]

I got your pm and replied Haree

I realised there is a slight bug with the Shandar gas mining ship having flashing lights where its not meant to.  However, I won't upload a whole fix just for one ship, I'll include it in the next update.

Also, I'll post a screenie of some in-game Shandar ships tomorrow as we didn't get a in-game preview like we usually do this time [:D]

Have fun!

Excellent work as always Woodman! Though I'll probably skip this update and wait for the Atuuk one. This's 'cause I don't have any Shandars around in my current game, and it seems that it will take some time to finish it.
Still, great work! Can't wait to see what you've done with Ancients and Shakturis.

Now that brings an interesting question to mind
If we are having a game whitout the shandars and we use this last update and edit them in the game will they use the new shipsets? I tend to think so but I'm not really certain.

Sure hope that's not the case, Ashberry.
Woodman probably have some other stuff to do at the time.
Still, I hope he will finish the last "major" sets (Atuuk, Ancients and Shakturi) in the near future.

Heya!

It stopped briefly, I'm hoping to get the next version out to coincide with the new beta patch, so next Friday/Saturday/Sunday.  I've got to admit, I haven't played the game for so long, first because of the AI not building big ships bug, then because of the Spaceport bug, that I've lost touch with it a bit.  But really looking forward to the next patch, I'll be starting a game next weekend, with all 20 playable races having their own shipsets [:D]
