In need for a few beta testers!

I'll post my event file with pictures tonight. I just need to zip this up. Is there any way to get a derelict space craft in there? For instance you find a ship with a certain technology bonus.

I don't see a way for a derelict ship but there might be a way for a you to have a derelict planet show up with technology.

There is a planet - created event (alas no example of how to use in the file). You might be able to choose the type of planet and create a new planet that has a higher chance of ruins.

A lot of ifs in this one. Also I have never seen a stellar manip created planet start with ruins so creating planets may go thru a different process then when the galaxy is made.

You can have a 'derelict ship' found on a planet when the map is generated that can be found with colonizing (just a ruin of a different name)

Not at this time, We are limited to the types at the top of the file.
The points- change may be made to work in a way to help out.
got a planet - create as one of my events. Still have not seen it work yet.

This file has five of the 20 or so new events that I have written. I have set them all to low and 1 or 2 turns. If they work, then that will let me know that the other most likely will to. They are the Last 5 in the list of the events file. The others are the orginal ones that came with the game.
I will add more to the Messages once I know that they work. Please try them and let me know. Each of these are good events.

I stuck with the picture files that came with the game as to make this file workable with everyone's game.

I've just attached my mod on events. Let me know what you think.

[Dracus]

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! YA!!!!!!!
I think I figured it out. at 100 for settings.
The event will occur every 5-10 turns. but only if there is not another event pending. So lets say an event that take 15 turns is active. No other event will occur until that event is complete. I set all my events to 1 turn and in 60 turns I saw my pleasure ship event occur 8 times and my birth event occur 1 time. I still have not seen the planet create event occur yet. This maybe because those type of events can only occur of you allow high or cat type events. I will test this.

atomannj,
I really liked the games and computer virus. I added these to my test events file. I gave you credit at the top of my file.

Here is my beta verion 1.02 for testing. These are set at the levels that I would like to use them at. They have been added to the bottom of the orginal events file. Please try them and any feed back will be quite helpful.
Thanks Dracus

All these use the orginal pictures that come with the game and will work with any mod pack. load into your data file before starting a new game.
