Another Integration

Hi,
I have installed beta 7 as per instruction for beta 6 .ie. SystemTypes.txt and XFileClasses_Stellar.txt into the balance mod data folder. I then copied all the pictures across into the balance mod picture folder. Problem is that when I start a new "quick start game" all the the stars and all the systems and planets are already visible. This wasn't the case for beta 6. Is something wrong?
Thanks

I just started a few quick start games to try this out but didn't run into this problem. Does it happen every time you start a quick start game, or just the one time?

Note that Beta 7 changes more files than Beta 6 did. The History.txt file lists the data files changed since the last version. You will also need the new images in Beta 7, such as brown dwarf texture and various star images. In addition to the 4 data files listed in History.txt, you will need to copy the FQM\Pictures folder into the Balance Mod folder, clicking yes to overwrite all.

Did you perhaps choose an Ancient Race (eg: Eee) in your quick start game? That will definitely make the whole map visible from turn one.

Everything working now thanks. I put all four txt files in the data folder and all is well.
Thanks

Fyron , will beta 6 and 7 be added to Balance Mod or should I add seperately ?

I will incorporate the most current FQM in the mod for the next release.
