Starships Unlimited vs. SE IV

[madmax88]

The new version also has new graphics and gameplay changes... oh oh, and MODS too with the new patch. (1.2)

Originally posted by rhohltjr I bought an earlier version of SEIV ..... In the earlier verison of SEIV my computer opponents would declare war on me and the relations bar(?) would always hit red. But then after some time they would eventually feel brotherly toward me yet still remain at war with me. I told Shrapnel games about this bug and they just didn't care. So I removed SEIV from the hard drive and plan to mail it back to them

At first - Shrapnel Games isn't the developer but only the distributor, so there's little they can do about bugs.

Second - that "AI always red"-bug was fixed quite some time ago IIRC !!

So if you have trouble with bugs, look for the latest patch in Shrapnels download section, if that doesn't help go to http://www.malfador.com/ - that's the developer.
But as you have the first version (not "gold"), pay attention that you get the correct patch, or you'll be completly out of luck

PS: ..and this wasn't a "serious" .exe bug IIRC, but only a problem with some "alien anger" settings in some of the text files not working as intended .. should be possible to fix it yourself .. check the forum at Shrapnelgames for more info on modding

Just returned from Shrapnelgames.com and malfador.com and could not find a MOD section.
Perhaps I am not looking at right page?

Hope I state this correctly, my problem with the earlier version was AI technically being at WAR with me at the same time they would be feeling brotherly toward me. They would always refuse peace/trade/research/any-and-all treaties. I read through the History.txt file at Malfador.com from version 1.03 through vs 1.67 of SEIV and I do not see this addressed. Perhaps it is a text file somewhere that needs a tweak as you've stated.

madmax88: What MODs are included and where is the vs1.2 patch. I *did* have the usual MODs StarWars, Empire, Bab5 and some others.

Is there an actual working link anywhere that shows the latest and greatest MODS?
thanks:)

More than likely, you'll find the mods for SeIV on fan pages. Try the different links from the official site or go through a search engine.
Ver 1.2 i stated was for Sudg though, not SEIV. This can be found in the download section on matrix's site.

For Mods look at
Shrapnel Games Forum - "Game Board" (the topmost !) "New Scenaria/Mod Forum":
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ul ... forum&f=50

The latest (and last) patch 1.49 for SEIV (not Gold) is at:
http://www.malfador.com/se4.html

..scroll down to the paragraph with reads "Space Empire IV" .. there's a link to the patch..


And if you have any more questions, please post them at Shrapnelgames SEIV forum at:
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ul ... forum&f=23

.. it's been some time since I last messed around with SE4, so better ask some folks there... I'm not that up-to-date any more..

hope this is helpful, yours

Arralen, I downloaded the SEIV gold demo and have been playing it to see if they have fixed the
War/feeling 'brotherly' bug I can't stand. Unfortuately I found the bug has not been fixed.
If you would like to see for yourself, send me a private message with your e-mail and I will send you the game files.

I hope the STUN community can come up with the amount of MODS that SEIV has generated. That was
a major factor for me to try SEIV.

Your website is impressive, wish I was able to
speak german to understand more.

Thanks for your help.

Good joke that .. I'll do everything on it in either German and English .. if I ever get to work on it again .. doesn't look like at the moment, though.

So maybe check back next year or so, I may have finished another paragraph on some page

But I was really shure they fixed that issue ... strange .. did you ask at Shrapnelgames" forum about that??
