Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?

PvK · #1 March 18th, 2002, 12:13 AM

The cultural maintenance mods are added to the characteristic setting. You can buy up to 90%, and merchants would make that 95%. No way around the hard-coded 5% minimum, and actually you need to use a culture to get higher than 90%. I guess I should raise the limit on the setting to +95%.

Any ship set that works with standard will work with Proportions. Shipsets that conform to the neo-standard (there are several) will also get you distinct pictures for the new ship classes. E.g., an empire using the Vandron ship set will have distinct pictures for their scouts and escorts, while a standard Toltayan empire will have escorts and scouts that use the same graphic.

Wait a minute... In this case, the cultural modifiers should be tweaked, regarding the new maintenance model. My favorite one, e.g. is Engineers, just because of the 2% maintenance reduction, but they are pretty much worthless now, should be 7 or 8 in this case, merchants now 20...

Ok... ok...

Let's see... 2 of 25 is 8%, so ya. I'll adjust those.

I will be using my viking shipset. (It's on the gold CD, within the TDM modpack zip.)

I may soon have an updated Version with more images than there are on the CD. I really ought to update my website. I should do the neo-standard page while I'm there as well, since it's badly out of date and seems to be causing confusion. Just to clear up a few points:

1- The neo-standard isn't something you can download, despite the "download" page on the site. Like I say, it's out of date=-(

2- The neo-standard isn't necessary for proportions or any other mod. All mods and shipsets will work just fine without it.The neo-standard should not be a source of worry (unless you happen to be responsible for the website=-) Just think of the neostandard as a "bonus" which is unlocked if you use certain mods and certain shipsets together.

3- The neostandard has nothing to do with S_J's imagemod, although the philosophy behind them is similar.

I'm using the Terrans. Seems as if no Gold mods are supported yet by PBW, so we'll have to wait until that will have been set up.

Not too bad for me, as I'm on holidy from Thursday till April 30th, and I'm begging you all to wait for me, as it's really a big deal for me to play in this game!

April 30th ! You seem to be a teacher or a student, or do you think of March 30th ?

Anyway, I think it would be good to wait at least one week or 2 weeks in this case, because there are still some things to learn about Proportions 1.5, maybe a good idea to get some time for bugfixes and such...

Sorry! I meant March 30th.
