Proportions + Devnull + special ingredients = Derek's Mod Gold

[Derek]

Part of the problems people are having with images even though you have d/l ed the image mod, you still have to do the following as per the readme file in the image mod

To install this imagemod, copy all the contained files into your ".../SE4/Pictures/components" directory.
Replace "components.bmp" with "Newcomponents.bmp". All of the original SE4 images are contained in the new BMP, so all other mods and saved games will not be affected.

Do this, and all should be fine, I think.

I take that back. All problems with components should be fixed, but the facilities.bmp is wrong. I'll look into it some more.

its not just the facilities.bmp, its actual missing files. Like I had posted earlier, I am missing image files between Facil_073.bmp to Facil_100.bmp

These are actual files missing from both mod zips. To fix the problem, simply include these files in the next release.

"To fix the problem, simply include these files in the next release."

The mod does not and never HAS included those images. See, they are from the area reserved for standard SE4 images. Are you sure you aren't using the wrong #s?

EDIT: OK. Proportions uses some of those slots for images. In the Imagemod those were bumped to higher #s since 1-100 was reserved for standard SE4 images in case MM decided to add more images.

Somehow I seemed to have gotten those files into my pictures directory. Most likely, they are relics from other mods, Proportions being the prime suspect. The next Versions of Derek's Mod will have the correct image numbers for the correct facilites.

Sorry about the confusion/problems.

Derek, I have been pluggin along trying to figure out why the mini images don't show up. I have tried editing in new component images, but still the little mini images never show up. These are the ones found in the ship design screen, and when there is combat. They just show up as a white box or black. The description or large image does however show up when you click on the white or blank box.

The components I am having trouble with are the Bomb-pumped laser, Kaon Torps, Rapid Fire Missle Launcher, and the Heavy Bombardment Missles. I also beleive that there are a few facility images that don't show too.

Do you have any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Is this mod going to use the Image Mod?
