I just registered to say: thank you for version 0.85! It's given me a couple of hours of great fun already.

Gosh, isn't Esmerelda annoying though? ... Just makes it more satisfying when you catch her!

Keep up the great work, and looking forward to 0.90!

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

Cool!
I've amended the Mod List thread to point to this latest version.
Would this work with the Mac (pre-ravian release), or does it use anything from the last windows update?
I'll go ahead and try it anyway. Any probs and I'll report back ;-)

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

Hey Phlagh, great work on the mod. Loads of fun! One quick fix you may want to implement - the Zorg cargo freighter has too many cargo points. The game doesn't seem to be able to handle 6 rows of cargo space - I think there is a hardcap at 5 rows, so as soon as you manage to place anything in the 6th row the game crashes. Reducing the space to 5 rows should fix it.

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

Oh good catch! Thanks. Wow, how the hell did you manage to get that many items? I don't know that I ever have been able to. I guess that's proof that not only will it crash the game, but that extra row probably isn't needed anyway.

Once I'm done with finals, I'm planning to produce another patch (maybe 1.0). I just finished whipping up a Garthan Frigate in my very little spare time, and can't wait to stick it in.

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your mod very much, and it breathed a great deal of fun and enjoyment back into the game. Thanks!

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

Thank you. I have a ton of stuff to do in that mod. If the mac patch comes out before the summer ends, I'll have time to do it. Until then, another mod will be debuting soon.

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

How soon is soon?

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

Whew, it's been awhile. Nice job so far Phlagm. Just tried it out today. Noticed a couple little things so far. The only one I can remember offhand though, has to do with text descriptions. More specifically, you're only allowed so many characters (I don't remember how many) in item, etc text descriptions so yours are being cutoff. Dunno if that was mentioned already or not. Still catching up on stuff. Can't wait to see what else you have in store. I think I like playing mods better than making them. Bit more of a suprise, ya know.

Re: Mod: Even Weirder Worlds 0.85
 

This is really well made and the new content is very impressive, I can't really go back to plain now as it almost feels like playing with an expansion pack.

My only gripe is that the smaller Cambrian fighter style ships are really annoying as they constantly try to ram me, it makes combat with them very difficult.
