Distant Worlds Extended Universe 1.0.3 released 40 races

[Bingeling]

Oh well. It is a core game fix, then. It is mostly a problem when making galaxy screenshots for the forum, and I can live with that Almost...

Stirling work as usual Haree 78 [&o]. Have had no issues at all with this mod since installing.

Is there something weird with the spaceport designs of the Riktoh? I have seen two that report size but no components. It could be that they are under construction, but lack resources badly, though.

[Bingeling]

I think the spaceports just had the "no resources" issue. That being said, I think the spaceport graphics of the Riktoh breaks pretty badly with how the rest of the ship sets look. I guess there may be a limited choice, though.

[Haree78]

Thanks moonraker, glad to see you are still enjoying the mod

@Bingeling They do look somewhat different in style but in a way I prefer the ships/bases to be more distinct, they are completely different species after all and they should probably look alien to each other
And yes I have more or less got no more ship sets to use. I resorted to begging before the last version to find new sets for the ideas I had. I wanted to keep very identifiable ships out, although I'm sure many of you will recognise some of them. I wouldn't want one of the new races flying the Enterprise or Galactica for example

[Bingeling]

Different shapes and forms are of course what we want. What struck me about the spaceports, was that they were a different art style. And no, the enterprise set would not be better.

Hi! First off, great looking mod. I like how these races can add a whole new way of playing the game. I was wondering though if there is a specific order when downloading this mod. Which one should I download first? Also, is it compatible with other race mods? Thanks!

Id like to try the mod but i get exactly the same error messages that someone else posted before. Theres more bias values than races in line 12 in the bias.txt. I tried redownloading, i checked the text and compared it with the original one but couldnt find anything wrong. Your 2 posts here regarding the problem dont really help cause the guy who had the same bug just said THAT he found a solution but not WHAT exactly the solution is. Your idea with commas at the end of a line doesnt make sense to me cause i cant see any commas at the end of the lines.

I can post the whole error message if needed but its basically exactly the same like the guy posted.

[TheGrouch91]

So... i tried a different mod which also adds new factions and i get exactly the same error message there. So i guess something is wrong with my game rather than with the mod. Any idea what this could be?

[Haree78]

Make sure your game is at 1.7.0.17.

The previous poster had an issue because he modified the theme himself and broke the bias file.

[TheGrouch91]

Thanks for the quick response. I found out what the problem is and i almost cant tell you cause its pretty embarassing but anyway. Didnt play the game for at least a year and didnt realize that there is a 2nd add on. Thought all the new stuff with characters and whatnot was added with a patch. Man i shouldnt try to install mods when im tired as hell...

I'll let you know when it works.

[TheGrouch91]

Alright ive got Legends now and patched it and it seems to work just fine now.
But the latest version i could find was 1.7.0.16. Is that just a typo of yours or did i miss something (again)?

[Haree78]

Check the main forums for Distant Worlds. You need to go to the members section of the Matrix Games site and register your copy of Legends to get 1.7.0.17.

[TheGrouch91]

Ah thanks again. But is it necessary to use a beta version? Its super complicated to get it when you dont know how.

[d.erlemeyer@gmx.de]

There's a thread in the main forum with a link right at the top. Wouldn't really call that complicated, hehe.

Anyways, thanks for this mod. Good to come back after a year and see so much new good stuff around. [:)]

I love this extended Mod, Haree78! I played with your earlier version and have installed your 2.0.2 version. Each new game is much more unique with many racial combinations. I noticed you changed some of the alien portraits, which I approved of. I have customized many of the portraits from the cartoon type to the more photographic kind. It increases the illusion of realism. I hope there will be no trouble incorporating your Mod with the Shadows expansion. Thanks, again!

[Haree78]

Thanks Fisher, glad you are enjoying it
I can't play without it these days, love the variety in my games.

I have another small project I am working on but don't worry Distant Worlds Extended has a current Shadows version which you will see on the release of the expansion probably with some nice new features

[StarLab]

Haree... Das has started a new Let's Play on Youtube and he's featuring your mod. [8D]

I use this mod exclusively now. Thanks for such a great piece of work. Glad to hear it will be available for Shadows as well. Made my day! [:)]

[Haree78]

That's awesome, I wondered why the number of downloads went up a lot lately
I'll be following this! Thanks for letting me know.

[fierceking]

Thanx for you mod. It has made my game a lot more interesting having all 38 races in a massive map.
