Bacon Mod

[Amalek28]

Is it possible that I set this part of this mod myself?

// The fonts in the Information panel (bottom left) have a shadow effect on them. This is supposed to maek them pretty but, in my opinion, makes them alonst unreadable. This option allows you to disable the shadow effect.
Shadow=false

How can I change this myself?
The texts in the e.g.: Character Window or Diplomacy Window are also terrible to read.

Are these the files I have to search in?

Hi there everyone. Does anyone happen to have the "DWExtendedUniverseBaconFiles.zip" file which was taken down from Larry Monte's website? I'd like to use it (not sure if it's really needed anymore or not, if it's not please advise) for my next playthrough. Thank you in advance!

I don't have the files per se. When the Bacon mod first came out Larry adapted the excellent Extended mod for use in the Bacon mod but I don't think the files have been updated since then. I worked on getting the RetreatUE mod up for the bacon mod which includes the Extended mod but adds in a number of other mods as well. I spoke to Larry at the time to get some tips on what needed to be looked at but in the end there were many files that needed correcting. If you want the races from the Extended mod then you will find them in the RetreatUE mod adaptation from here...

But be warned it can be difficult to get it installed cleanly.

False positive. Exclude from your AV.

[Latisrof]

Why is it a false positive?

[Latisrof]

False positive my ass

[Retreat1970]

ok

[Latisrof]

>ok

so can you explain to me why your link has a BScope.Trojan.Inject file in it?

[Retreat1970]

No. Ask Roger. It's his file. I run this exe. Everyone runs this exe.

The exe is modified so it gets flagged by the AV.

If you're worried, don't run it.

Latisrof,

With the screenshot you have 63 different antivirus software products listed there and of them, only 3 said the Bacon Mod was a trojan. That meant 60 antivirus engines said there was no problem with the bacon mod.

Months ago I personally sent the bacon mod executable to Microsoft themselves who confirmed the bacon mod file was no virus or trojan and updated their antivirus software to reflect that.

However if you have doubts you do not need to run the bacon mod as Retreat1970 suggested.

I can't get the latest bacon mod release to run correctly; Update 2020-10-13, whenever I run it, a popup of the program just says "Bacon mod by roger bacon: OK button.

I click OK, and Distant Worlds (32bit) just stays idling in the background processes of task manager, never coming to the foreground...

P.S. I want to use the EXE for the 2004 update with this link https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhoru5ui85g8u ... s.exe?dl=0 but that link is a 404 for me [&:]

P.S.S

So after reading around, it seems I am an unlucky SOB for having a version of windows that this mod wont' work on -_________-

I'm trying to follow Dastactics guide on installing all 3 mods together, including this one.

/facepalm

Thanks, btw I came across your post before I read your reply [:D], the amount of digging I did lol - I wish 1.81r is displayed on page 1 ha ha ha

OK, It aseems Dropbox REALLY doesn't like that file. I tried to create a new link and it won't let me create a link to that file. So I've uploaded it to another file hosting site and updated the link on the first page.

I don't get it, it says in the description that the stars gravity well only affects ships jumping OUT of a gravity well, but in my game all my hyperjumps are being denied, both those trying to get into my solar system, and those trying to get out. I thought this setting only affected ships trying to get out?

A ship in a gravity well can not initiate a hyperjump. Ships outside can jump normally. If they sublight into the gravity well before their jump warmup phase is complete they will not be able to jump.

Hi folks, I've just installed this mod alongside RetreatUE for the first time...I've been missing out! Thanks Roger and Retreat

One issue I'm having though is that in my new game in the ship design screen I don't have an option to build frigates. It's not even in the drop down menu for choosing a ship role when starting a new design from scratch. I've had a look around the forum but haven't seen this as an issue elsewhere. Can anyone help?

Hello, really great mod I like a lot about it. But I wanted to try my hand at making my own edits to the game just for personal use. I was wondering how did you make it so the arrow keys in the component screen worked on the selected installed module rather than the one selected in the list of all modules? This may be the single greatest feature of this mod.
