Modding Tools

This is a message to all you folks with brains

WE NEED MODDING TOOLS and plenty of them

Modding SF is hard and long work

Also, SJ, whenever I try to run storemodder.exe I get an error message

Quote:

Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' not correctly registered: file is missing or invalid

Re-d/led the exe and still the same
Am using Win2k Pro

Funny, I have Win2k pro too and SlotModder works fine. I wonder how anyone can do their models without it?

I once edited one ship directly from the txt file. I just changed few firing arcs and added two weapon slots more. It took an hour and gave me a headache.

My current programming skills are so bad that I cannot help creating new modding tools but I'm studing information technology so in the future I might be able to help.

Storemodder... not slotmodder

Exan · #4 June 10th, 2004, 09:53 PM

oops. My bad.

I get the same error: Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' not correctly registered: file is missing or invalid

I get it with both the slot modder and the store modder. Any help would be apprecieated!

I'm running WinXP.

It's an old VB custom control file. Try searching for it on Google and you should find a plethora of sites to download it from.

Thanks for that

For everyone else

Goto http://www.ascentive.com/support/new...e=COMDLG32.OCX to sort this problem out

Now back to the fact that we need more modding tools

I could use some graphical system editor which would make the planet placements easier. nothing fancy. Just something that shows the coordinates in the cursor's locations. I realize this can be done with any image processing program but still somekind of system editor would be nice. I guess it could use the same program hull as the slotmodder.

Okay. Here's the deal, folks.

I can create graphical tools for creating mods and campaigns.

The problem is for the next month or so, my off-work time is going to be at a premium and hard to predict.

Hosting the tool(s) will be another issue entirely.

Hosting can be arranged fairly easily..
