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

"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?

The minis are all found in components.bmp

It sounds like you have the comp####.bmp, but you missed the components.bmp.

If you are trying to use the imagemod, You need to delete (or move or rename) your old "components.bmp" and replace it with "newcomponents.bmp"

I didn't want the imagemod to overwrite any files automatically, but if it saves trouble, I might just have it overwrite just that one...

Suicide Junkie, what did you mean by your first statement. The one about having component ####.bmp, but not component.bmp?

Also I have removed the original component file and replaced it with the newcomponent file. This is in the Derek's Mod Pictures Folder that I have done this, in the components folder.

I tried this in the original SEIVgold pictures/component folder once before and have found that I can not load any other mods other than Proportions and Derek's Mod. So I had to go back and place the original components.bmp with the newcomponents.bmp. Why?, I do not know.

What you have to do, is place the newcomponents.bmp in your main pictures file in your main SE4 directory, and then rename it as components.bmp It sounds like you are doing everything correct, except for the renaming part.

The facilities image problems will be taken care of in the next release. It was mostly a mistake on my part.
