Title: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on December 24, 2021, 03:34:45 am Quote Well, we're not hardware people, so we only know the theory. Welcome to the most ambitious version of The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod! The changes are too many to list so I'll just go with a few of my favorites... * The HD UI has been completely overhauled to look just like Vanilla UQM, but in HD. * Some alien conversation artwork as been remastered (Most notably Cdr. Hayes) * Recreated all the UI fonts (not the alien fonts) for HD, they can be found in the repository (https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/tree/0.8.1/doc/fonts) in TTF and OTF format * New Flagship, modules, and lander graphics created by Jordan Lo * Show visited stars on the StarMap by dimming the visited star and putting parenthesis around its name * Kruzen recreated the PC-DOS planet scan and lander view * Found a way to generate 3DO planet textures and PC-DOS/3DO mineral amounts and placements in the default seed * New option that makes auto-pilot find the shortest way out of the solar system * Kruzen reimplemented the "read speed" DOS option when not using voices * Kruzen recreated the Constellation Map but now it is drawn in-engine so you can now zoom in and out * Added a "Known Homeworlds" map that shows homeworlds based on the information you've received And so much more! For a full comprehensive list of changes check out the changelog (https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/blob/0.8.1/doc/release/CHANGELOG.txt), or if you prefer it in web page form check out the main website: http://megamod.serosis.net/Features And as always everything is optional Remember that all optional addon packages can be downloaded at http://megamod.serosis.net/Releases The macOS package will be done after New Years, some time mid-January at the latest. You can grab it on the Github release page here: https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/releases/ Screenshots can be found in the gallery: http://megamod.serosis.net/Gallery Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: darklord42 on December 24, 2021, 03:56:17 am Such an awesome Christmas gift! Congratulations!

Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: Malin on December 24, 2021, 10:25:58 am Wow! Looks awesome! I realy like new Flagship!
Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on December 24, 2021, 07:37:02 pm Thanks for all the kind words everyone!
Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: PRH on December 24, 2021, 11:26:47 pm Wow! Finally we have HD graphics that actually look like, well, UQM. The old HD graphics looked completely wrong in so many places, the flagship and the menus especially.

Very much! And all the best wishes for 2022! Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on February 01, 2022, 06:28:55 pm I just built and packaged up a macOS release. It is available on the repository's release page.
Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: Defender on March 27, 2022, 05:04:28 am any chance on stretched widescreen mode or any mode that fills the entire screen without black bars? also great release thank you for all the work it is to be commended. /salute
Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on March 27, 2022, 08:18:56 am any chance on stretched widescreen mode or any mode that fills the entire screen without black bars? also great release thank you for all the work it is to be commended. /salute I just gave it a look and apparently it's stuck in 4:3 at all times. I don't know when that happened but it *should* have been able to stretch if you set the Aspect Ratio to "Any". Perhaps it's as easy as making new options for 16:9 and 16:10 that force it without having to set it manually? UPDATE: I checked Core UQM v0.8.0 and it also can't stretch out in fullscreen. Curious, I'll let McMartin know. UPDATE again: Did more testing and you can get it to stretch but only if you use the SDL1 version and not in full screen. Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: Defender on March 29, 2022, 12:59:27 am Well thank you for looking into it...its been a problem for as far as i can remember. no one was working on it or even looking to see it was a problem. could you add fix for your version as its the only "and best" version i use. yes that was flattery. i would rather it run in full screen than widowed just because i run all my other games full screen.
edit oh i see you mentioned sdl1 i didn't even see that...ok that's better. i was also wondering about 16:9 resolutions? like 1920x1080? Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on April 09, 2022, 01:24:40 pm It'll look stretched out but it *should* work, although you'd need a 3rd party program (https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases/tag/9.5.6) to make it fullscreen.
Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: darklord42 on November 16, 2022, 05:05:01 pm Wanted to congratulate Kohr-Ah Death on yet another fantastic release. 0.8.2 is finely polished! And all the billion options are presented so cleanly.
Congrats! Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: capitansolo on September 12, 2023, 05:37:21 pm Downloded "mm-0.8.2-3dovoice.uqm" and "mm-0.8.2-hd.uqm" for the HD version. but didnt work hd version when selecting it on graphics.

Everytime i launch the game it says an error and told me to place in the correct folder but, what is the correct folder? i tried with all and im lost Any help? Regards! Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on September 16, 2023, 06:24:32 am You need to go step-by-step with how you installed MegaMod so I know where the problem lies.
Or reinstall using the appropriate version from this link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/uqm-mods/files/MegaMod/0.8.2/ Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: capitansolo on September 16, 2023, 01:27:25 pm Thanks for your help!
This is what i do 1. Downloaded from sourceforge / MegaMod / 0.8.2/mm-0.8.2-win32.zip and from MegaMod / 0.8.2 / Content\mm-0.8.2-content.uqm 2. Unzip the file into a folder and place the mm-0.8.2-content.uqm into my created folder named "sc2 0.82 megamod\content\packages" 3. I ran the game for adjust settings like graphiscs, sounds, etc. When i active HD version, i exit the program for restart it. 4. Dowloaded from sourceforge MegaMod / 0.8.2 / Content\mm-0.8.2-hd.uqm and mm-0.8.2-3dovoice.uqm 5. I place both addons on "sc2 0.82 megamod\content\packages/addons" 6. Run the game for apply hd version but get the messages telling me that maybe i place in a wrong folder. 7. Then, i place both addons on differents folder and run again the game with the same result. What im doing wrong? Regards! Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on September 17, 2023, 09:38:35 am Thanks for your help! This is what i do 1.

I see what's happening. mm-0.8.2-hd.uqm and mm-0.8.2-3dovoice.uqm need to go in "sc2 0.82 megamod\content\addons" Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: capitansolo on September 21, 2023, 08:39:42 pm Thanks!
Now is working fine Kohr-Ah! Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: Gooph on February 04, 2024, 09:38:01 pm Hello, Serosis.
For the Android release, after installing the APK, is it possible to add the mod files such as mm-0.8.2-hd.uqm or mm-0.8.2-3dovoice.uqm manually to the app by copying them to a specific folder? If so, could you explain which folder or how to do this? (The in-app download is unfortunately unavailable to me due to network restrictions, and by downloading them one time I could also easy copy them to multiple Android clients) Thank you!

The folder you'll want to look for to put addons into is Code: Android/data/net.serosis.megamod/files/addons (https://i.imgur.com/cf674Rx.png) Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: Gooph on February 05, 2024, 05:50:36 pm Thank you!
Unfortunately (Android), after copying the files to the addon folder, and selecting them in the Options menu, the game still tries to download them, and complains about the download failling, never entering the game. Is there a way to work around it? Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on February 08, 2024, 01:33:58 am There's an option on game startup that allows you to reset the configs near the bottom of the menu.
I believe it wipes out the Code: net.serosis.megamod/files directory so you'll have to copy over the addons again.Just remember to not select any of the downloads in the app config if you're doing it manually. Otherwise you'll get stuck in the same loop again. Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: Gooph on February 08, 2024, 06:18:57 pm Thank you. That works.
The most helpful part was that you do NOT check of the boxes for the files which you manually put in the mods folder. Just put them there, but do not check the box. No configuration needed in other words. Checking the box makes it try to download it, which was giving me the problems. Now I'm on to the next challenge. It works great in landscape mode, but the portrait mode does not work. By playing with the different settings during startup and graphics settings in the game I could either get the graphics to show larger than the entire screen, like a tall vert narrow strip, compressed on the X-axis, or half the graphic showing starting at the left edge but the right half of the graphics disappearing over to the right side of the screen. I've got a Motorola G100. Perhaps it is not worth playing with. I also noticed that sliding the finger for the pad in portrait mode will also push the button when sliding over it. There seem to be a few issues with portrait mode. But perhaps nobody else wants to use it anyway... -Ingvar Title: Re: [RELEASE] The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod v0.8.1 Post by: JHGuitarFreak on February 09, 2024, 04:54:54 am Yeah, it's a less-than-supported setup.
I never use the on-screen control in favor of a telescopic gamepad that clamps onto my phone. I only did just enough to get the controls visible on the right parts of the screen. |
