Default Star Blazers Mod

I am working on a Star Blazer Mod recreating the story "The Quest for Iscandar". The story will be divided in two parts.
Part one is 90% completed. It will have like a dozen different types of ships as seen on the TV shows. It will be my first mod ever. It is also the first time that I have tried to make a space ship.
I hope to be done by the end of this month with part one.

I finish part one of the Mod. The name is "Starblazers -The Quest for Iscandar- Part 1". The full story will consist of two parts.
I decided to take a look at the files and I did not realize that it is 75Mb big. The biggest files are the Images file( 34Mb) and the Music (9 songs, 24MB). I have been testing the game for a week now looking for bugs before I upload it online.
The first part of the game will follow the original story very close. If you are a fan of StarBlazer I hope that you will be pleased. There is alot of story telling between missions. It is a integral part for this mod to work. There will also be plenty of action.
There will be no trade. This will make the game very short, actually you can finish it in one day, even thought it has 6 or 7 missions. I have spent countless hours going all over the map to deliver cargo, on the original game. It is ok but after a while (days)it gets boring.
There will be no cost for items or ships. The failure of the quest will means the destruction of the human race, therefore Planet Earth and the "Earth Defence Force" will gladly provide what ever you need (just like in the army).
The Earth Defence Force (EDF) will consist of 5 ships:
1. Space Battleship Yamato (The name is Argo, class: Yamato) - The player will control the Yamato through most of the campaign.
2. Space Cruiser (class: Mogami)
3. Space Torpedo Destroyer (class:Lightning)
4. Cosmo Zero Superstar: Type 52 (a kick *** fighter)
5. Cosmo Space Fighter Black Tiger Type 1 (another one)
(the two types of fighters can be launched from the Yamato)
The Gamilon forcess will consist of:
Destroyers, cruisers, cariers, Battleships, figters and more. A total of 8 gamilon ships. All wanting to stop you!
I have been working on this for six months now, so I am trying to do something good, even thought is my first time at everything. Including creating the ships. Now I have to learn how to post this mod. I do have like 100Mb of web space as part of my online service but I have never use it...Yet it should be easier to learn than making a Mod!

That sounds interesting and original.
I hope you find a fast server to upload your files otherways the download could be frustrating.
Shrapnel forum here has a size limit for uploaded files of 30MB but that might be enough if you divide your mod in several files and use a compression program.
Strategy First forum has no possibility to upload files.

Compressing it into a RAR file in "solid archive" mode will make a huge difference.

If you strip out any files that you didn't edit, that will help too; if a file isn't in your mod, the game looks in the root directories to find it.

You guys are absolutely right. I was experimenting with RAR and it compresed the file like to 35Mb, that means that I can divide the files in 2. One for the music compress to 28Mb, and the rest of the files compress to 7Mb. Both files I can upload here then.
I will upload them by Friday the latest. I will use my computer from work since it has High speed. At home I only have dial up which will take forever.
Thanks.

As promess, The Star Blazers Mod is up!
You can find it on the Scenarios and Mods section.
I had some trouble (actually ignorance) trying to post the two files (Data and Music), therefore you will see two posts each with an attachment. At least they are up.
If someone can tell me how to do it right, or more helpfull, If someone can post them more properly I would be grateful!
Thanks, have fun.
