Star Wars mod now available

Star Wars mod now available

I did this on a whim, but I've had a lot of fun with it, so I thought I'd share. I just can't get enough of Darth Vader saying "I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it further" on the negotiation screen. This mod replaces all the alien pictures, movies and music. btw, most of the races have different movies, and, in some cases, different sounds depending on your relations with them.

Star Wars Mod HQ (51 megs) - http://galciv.bsd.st/madmaz/StarWars_Galciv_Main_HQ.zip Films have higher bitrate than...
Star Wars Mod LQ (26 megs) - http://galciv.bsd.st/madmaz/StarWars_Galciv_Main_LQ.zip
Star Wars Mod Extra Music (32 megs) - http://galciv.bsd.st/madmaz/StarWars_Galciv_Music.zip Replaces the six main songs and the intro theme with various songs from the 5 movies. This is not really necessary. If you have the soundtracks, setting up a playlist will give you a lot more variety.
JavaScout's Galciv Database PDA version - http://galciv.bsd.st/madmaz/GCivPDAManual.zip Totally unrelated to mod and about 3 weeks out of date. Thought I'd link it, since it's on the same site.

Hope you enjoy it. If you have feedback, I'd love to hear it. Just post it in this thread.

p.s. special thanks to LazyBastard for giving me the space to put this on :)

Congratulations!

I have been away for a while. When I got busy my Galactic Beauties was the only Media mod. This was to my surprise as Bink files and such are so easy to mod. I'm a Star Trek kind of guy but I sure am glad to see the people getting what they want. I know it took you a lot of time and even if the thanks thin out, be assured as long as your mod works well, it will be quitly enjoyed for some time to come. Last I checked I think GB was over a 1000 downloads, SW would certainly blow that out of the water. Later.

Thanks RustyBlade :d The mod has had approximately 1100 downloads since I put up a counter, which wasn't until a few weeks after the initial release. I'm fairly pleased considering it's a very sizeable 40-70 megs per download (depending on whether they download music.)

And, no arclite, there hasn't been any updates recently. Sorry :( If someone wants to update the data files so that they are current with latest stuff, I'll be happy to post it as a patch.

Hey does these mods affect your score and stats on this web site? I assume that using the cheats will too. I used them a couple of times while learning to play but stay away from them now as it is more fun to win the right way, or get my ass handed to me by the damn I-league. :p

Why do I have to reply to this every 2 or 3 posts? The answer is there, moondoggy, you just have to find it.

My bad MadMaz,

Like duh, I should have taken the time to read through all the threads before repeating other peoples gripes. The corrected link can be found in message 58, 71, 82 and 98.

Well, thanks for saying so Moondoggy. :) Most of the other people who've asked that question don't even bother to reply after they figure out where to get what they want >:(

Take care...

Why not repost the up to date links every to often... as 6 pages of msgs is a lot to have to read through to locate them... this is one reason I havn't tried them... (yeahhhh.. I know.. I'm lazy... but there are lots out there who see it like I do...)

Having issues with the game now (multiple crashes).....oops! I remember now; already had 1.20 upgrade and did the conversion, no wonder why! Ok, trying this later...uninstall (making sure I manually delete all mods and pics)....reinstall, convert, and then update...well, your directions on your site weren't very precise (actually, if you read them carefully, it says to install before upgrading and after, which is very confusing), so I hope this works...

;)

If you have the latest version, which I'm guessing you do, there is a fully operational installer/deinstaller. So, there should be no manual deletion of anything as you described.

Furthermore, you definitely want to run the mod installer after you do any updates. It modifies the .ship files to tell it to use my star wars models, so running an update can overwrite that change. What's probably confusing you is that if you want to get a new Stardock update after you've already installed the mod, you should deinstall it, get the update, then reinstall it.

As a caveat, remember that I haven't updated this mod in a long time. As a result, the ship statistics in the mod's ship files is certainly out of date. The best thing to do, if you're comfortable with it, is to take the most up-to-date .ship files that you had pre-mod install and replace the model names in them with the Star Wares ones I used. I've been meaning to do this myself and release a patch, but I've been saying that so long that even I don't take myself seriously any more ;)

Hey MadMaz, if you're still into modding, you might be interested in a tool I'm working on for creating gal civ graphics without using mutil or the ship creator. Thread in the modding forum : http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GM&id=142776#143831

If this is addressed to me, I don't even know what AP stands for. Sorry, but I haven't played gciv in ages.
