EFS Modding – Space Probe Unit
Until I get enough unit art made to create a full set, I’m loading up my unit graphics as individual uploads to EDIBLE. Today’s upload is the Space Probe, an early game probe that can be “purchased” from the League and allows you to explore other planets without having to risk your heavier ships. This is critical for the early game as the loss of your your space navy at the beginning of the game can result in complete savegame “corruption” forcing the player to re-start.
The unit graphics are a mix of images from NASA which are superimposed on each other. The unit card icon is a stretched variation of the same probe, since it’s length in real life would have made it a single pixel if I had used the true proportions.
How to Use?
To use in your game, download the package in the Downloads link below. Put the art files in the correct folders in your personal mod folder. This is usually located at \Emperor of the Fading Suns\Mod\[Mode Name].
- Place the flc file in the [Mod Name]\FLC folder
- Place the png file in the [Mod Name]\BIN folder
- Locate the dat file in the [Mod Name]\DAT folder. Add the lines in the “Space Probe.dat” file to the end of your unit list. Update the number 92 to reflect the next number in the sequence.
The dat file provided is the stats used on the live streamed version that uses this unit. If you wish to use your own variable, such as updating the cost of the unit, you can modify the numbers in the unit.dat file to change the unit to your personal preferences!
