Cool.

But I have b23...

Wow, excellent work! I'll try it out right away!

Does anyone have a copy of his patch? The links don't work

Now its only on my pc. Give me email and I will send it to u.

I'm interested too.

why didn't you just enable miniaturization for assault shuttles?

Assault shuttles cant be miniaturized in normal game, as well as in my mod.

Erm... Let me rephrase. Is there a reason why you can't enable miniaturization?

I would love a copy...but since you based it on 1.4 does that mean you need the Dos version to use it?

To the last person who replied.

As far as i know, yes this mod will only work with the dos 1.4 patch, because that patch only makes changes that modify/apply to the dos moo2 program.

You may already know this, but moo2 always installs the dos executable with the windows executable.

The dos version runs fine under windows xp, and VDMsound can give you sound under windows xp too. Dosbox can emulate dos well enough to run moo2 on a reasonably new processor.

But if you know all this already, maybe you are asking because you are in some situation that you can only run the windows version of moo2.

Ahha! Youre right! I only opened the Dos.exe once, noticed the sound didnt work, and just forgot about it. Sweet deal thanks.

Glad it helps.
If you like moo2, I think you might like the 1.4 dos version better.
Here is the FAQ : http://lordbrazen.blogspot.com/2005/01/ ... h-faq.html

It fixes lots of bugs and adds startup options with command line arguments.

There are also mods like Demodict and DifficultChoice. There is lots of information here :

http://masteroforion2.blogspot.com/

There was also a unofficial 1.32 patch (I think) that had different goals, was by a different author than the 1.4 and is no longer being maintained.

Now you can download my two mods from internet:

Enjoy!

Hello again.

After playing some games I chosen to upgrade my evolution mod. Race picks will be modified to meet more fair results. I will think about small changes in tech tree too. I let you know when new version will be ready to download from my website.

Thx for all who plays it
