Shadows Micromanagement LP

[StarLab]

Greetings everyone...

Just thought I would start a new thread for my latest LP for Shadows.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... SmlbnIxxLK

Playing: Wekkarus
Gamestyle: Age of Shadows
Map: 4x4 - 400 Stars
Research: Very Expensive
Difficulty: Hard
Opponents: 7
(Most other settings are default for Age of Shadows)

I was hoping to get a new computer before starting another LP but that's not happening for a while. Unfortunately, the recording process isn't showing off the new performance improvements very well. (Especially while running the game at 4x speed). I apologize in advance for this. [:(] I should point out that the game runs PERFECTLY for me while I'm not recording.

Hope you enjoy!

Yay! I'm following for sure, and looking forward to it!

I was wondering why this didn't show up in my YouTube subscriptions, but then noticed that I have you on my other YouTube account. No matter. I'm worth two YouTube subscriptions to you now! [:D]

Cool! You'll have to watch everything twice now! [;)]

LOL, yeah. Talk about epic.

What was it that needed tweeking in the GEM mod for Shadows?

Thanks. Good to have you aboard...

Just looking at GEM now to answer your question. Not sure why it just didn't 'drop in' when I extracted it as it looks like the same directory structure as before. Perhaps I did something wrong.

Regardless, there was one problem for sure:

/images/environment/overlays/shadow/shading.png

This file from the GEM mod didn't work properly so I had to maintain the official Shadows version of this file. Haven't noticed any ill effects from doing so...

I also skipped the GEM ship graphics. They just didn't do much for me but that was just a personal choice.

Double post.. please disregard....

Thx Larry!

Larry, in Part 2 you named your Passenger transport the same as the orignal Freighter... Unless you changed it in Part 3 (yet to watch that one), you have two similarly named designs now

Not sure if that is a problem, if they have different roles, but still.

Yeah, got that fixed already in part 3.

Thanks for pointing it out... [:)]

Thank the gods you're doing an LP, so I have something shadowsy to do while waiting. Turns out I can't get Shadows to run on my system and that it's a Windows bug causing it. I have to wait for the patch! Gah!

Yes, I've been reading your Tech Support thread. Hope you get up and running soon!

Up to episode 24 at this point.

Economy is sucking in a huge way, but am still having good fun publishing this series.

I'm only playing the 1/2 hour episode per day, so any comments and suggestions made can be implemented in the next episode. It's been working out rather well.

Thanks to those who have been watching! [8D]

I have a couple of episodes to catch up now, since I've been way too busy this week. But it's weekend now, so I'm going to chill, watch some LP's and drink a whole lot of coffee. I enjoy your LP a lot!

[StarLab]

Yes, I'm getting behind too. I'll have to make an evening out of catching up on your's, Firestarter's and Das's LP's. I think I'm 3 or 4 episodes behind on all of those at this point.

Can we got a mod that adds an extra 8 hours to each day? THAT would be handy! [:D]
