[SW3] [MOD] - The SW3.Expansion Mod - 0.5.3G

[nocalora29]

I have managed to get RCFF up and running perfectly now, what I would love to see are some custom user made templates for RCFF to be used in upcoming versions which will include the working version of RCFF.

Heres the latest template that can be worked with: https://pastebin.com/i9Kjp6rF

The old tutorial for RCFF is still correct and can be used to understand this newer template.

Of course im going to include and make massive amounts of rcff-templates myself for the later release, but I would still enjoy seeing someone other than me creating some rcff templates.

RELEASE CANDIDATE #8 RELEASED.

BEWARE: This is an Beta-Fix(tm), so you do NOT need it if you don't have any problems with your current game.

Quick question: I am reinstalling the game and mod and was wondering if I still need to install the [8X Speed Fix] [EXE] on mod db. It has not been updated since 2016 and you don't mention it on the first page of this post. Also you have two links on MOD DB for it.

I would suggest cleaning it up by either:

a) It is no longer needed or valid so delete the two links on mod db.
b) Update the first page to note that it is still a valid patch, it's install order and delete one of the links on mod db to prevent confusion.

Your ever adoring fan

I just released an Tutorial Article which addresses this, I wonder when the ModDB Admins approve it...

The "Full" Mod release has the three most important .exes inside of it, but they are also seperately uploaded so its easy to just get them instead of the whole mod all over again.

It also covers the basic use of Optionals and such.

Have to re download your mod, and try it out again, to see what progress has been made. Keep up the good work nocalora29

OK fresh install of game, mod, latest patch & the missile mod optional. I attempted to start the game using all three exe programs and get differing log file crash warnings:

Can you start the game normally without the mod?. Because this really doesn't look like a mod error to me.

Could you try to reinstall DirectX8 and 9? seems like it got some problems making use of it in the log.

I did some rough starting variants for choice, others can expres their opinions too. Some pieces can be added on back part. Or if you have own version too, we can compare.

and next variation on theme i_mamont.imd
