Most Excellent Idea there DU… totally “non” heinous

I actually wanted to create one of these for myself. This is a really good idea. I haven’t given it a try, but I’ll definitely look into this if I ever go ahead and make the “sequel” to Itano Circus.

Is this the Modular_Station_V2.zip by you?

Mirkha

yes

DwnUndr

Thank you, adding now!

Can I just replace the sur files or should I add the cmp as well?

Do I need to add any of the other files?

no, you also need the cmp,
the cmp are changed in the process.

DwnUndr

@ oZed, you are welcome.

@ Mirkha, thanks, I will add the sur and cmp files.

@ Mindhunter. Thanks! However, the download link in post 1 is 404, got a fresh download link?

DwnUndr

Bump for Mindhunter. That link you put into your post works, but the download:
http://ftp.the-starport.net/New.Universe.1.7/MMS_resource_v.1.0.7z
is a 404 so I can’t get the file. If you wish this inserted, do you have a fresh link? I can’t find it in the Downloads section either.

DwnUndr

This is now a final release, links added to the bottom of the first post.

Mirkha

DwnUndr

After looking through the pack I thought it was a little heavy for me, so I’ve slimmed it down to nothing but the essentials. Basically it’s just all the stuff in the EXE folder, plus the empty universe.

I’ve tested it a bit and it seems to be stable. Everything else has been removed. I suppose it might not be as useful for someone completely new, but I found the lack of whitespace in the files too hard to work with, plus it contained all sorts of things that I didn’t really want to use.

If it’s okay with you I can upload my version as an alternative. It’s an alternative for anyone who might want a lighter version of the starter pack.

DwnUndr

People have done lighter versions before but a new modder would have no place to start with literally everything removed. This pack is for beginners., not expert modders.

And, if you have removed nearly any single file then you have started to introduce all of the vanilla errors back into it again. Then a new modder has to track down these errors again.

The TCM Pack was for two reasons.

Not so stripped that new modders would be lost
Totally error free through the listed error checkers.

This was my intent, hope you understand.

StarTrader

Nonetheless, it would be a good starter kit for certain modders.

How about you release it as an “advanced modders’ Mod Starter Kit” ??
