With the starting scenario, is there no way to select difficulty level and research speed? Also, if not selectable what do you happen to set them at?

One of the weaknesses with DW:U scenarios is that that pretty much all the settings have to be selected during scenario creation, and you can't change them later.

Very impressive mod, by the way, well done!

Sadly, it doesn't work with my own map, but to be honest I wasn't really expecting it to.

Congratulations ehsumrell1 and gang, having followed Das' Lets Play it looks like you guys have made a really great mod here, am looking forward to bringing some glory to the Klingon Empire.

Unfortunately, I am getting an error when I launch the game and change theme to STPE Mod. A dialog box appears and says that the program cannot open the file images/units/race/Race16.png, looks like its the Ferengi (I offered them some Latinum to get rid of the message but to no avail). I am unsure what to try, whether I have the wrong version of DWU installed etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for you efforts

Hello Leaddernoir, thanks for your very kind words.

It's very weird that for some mysterious reason the "race_16.png" image bug has popped up again. We
had that in Version 1.0 as well for a few users. Please PM me your computer specs and operating
system you are using because I'd like to figure out why JUST THIS ONE PNG FILE out of hundreds.
In the meanwhile, you and anyone else that has this problem, please use the attached file instead.
Just copy over the race_16.png file in the mods \images\units\races folder. It the error persists,
please post back. Thanks!

Please read my previous post and try replacing the race_16.png file as stated. lost back if that
doesn't solve your problem. Also please post what your error says.

When i click start game, select race and enter universe the UI begins to load.
Apparently a windows window pops up

cannot load file
"This is not a valid Distant Worlds game file."

Thanks Knickers for the assist! I have a paid MediaFire account, so I'm just assuming that the
massive number of downloads is what's causing the length of D/L time. Yesterday during my testing
after uploading to MediaFire when my DropBox account froze, it took 1 hr 5 minutes to D/L. Now
it's 6 hours.

I'm hoping that if I upgrade my account to 'Business status' that might take care of it. Didn't
have that problem with Version 1.0, although it was much smaller. Again, thanks! Will reward
you with Romulan Ale!
[:D]

No problem, I only use a free account. If you got a business account just for this mod I would like to extend my thanks to you for your dedication

Thanks Knickers!

Question, did/do you have any problem starting or running the game? Seems like each release I
have a couple players that have a start-up error that entails the "race_16.png" Ferengi picture
file. Trying to pin down the reasoning for the error, although I think I'm close to figuring it
out.

Hello 'Trek' community!

Just FYI, for any of you who have the 'mysterious' "race_16.png" error, you can download
a zipfile that I've prepared that has revised race pictures. Just download the zipfile, then
unzip to a hold or temp folder, then copy the entire contents (overwriting all) to the
mods' "images\units\races" folder.

Download the races zipfile here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/00ai8r6r77h5hl3/races.zip

I will also revise the OP with this link.
The race_16.png file in the revised zipfile seems to have no problems, as shown below.

Well i tested further

if i start custom game in classic era, the game is starting as intended.
if i start a game with UFP Milkway galaxy by just clicking start new game / any race / play selected galaxy and faction i an error message that is not crashing me to desktop if i click continue in the process. "Cannot load file" window with following message "This is not a valid Distant Worlds game file"
