Okay,never mind my above post. I got it downloaded (finally!).

Anyhoo, another problem presents itself. I did the whole "revert to default mods folder, restart, go back to high res, restart again" thing like it says in the readme, but when i started my first game (as drengin) all planets in my starting system are bleached except Drengi. All the planets in my home system except my homeworld are just white spheres floating in space. This seems to be the case for all the major races' home systems, but all other planets are unaffected.

Any help would be appreciated. I think I just put something in the wrong place.

Logic you should have received the email with your new ftp details.

Aceofheart.

The mod was made for DA as it included the special planet classes not seen in DL. As for the timing, do you forget that DA was in beta for 6 months and Logic made us wait for the actual release before releasing the mod

Is there a Dread Lords version of Logic's mod?

This is a wonderful mod! I haven't really noticed the planets as much as the stars... they are beautiful! My machine is only 800 MHz, albeit with 780ish Mb RAM, and a 256 Mb graphics card, but I have all the settings jacked up as high as they will go, and there is minimal stutter and delay when I zoom in. What delay is there is worth it.

StarDock: please consider puting LogicSequence on your payroll, and incorporating his mod wholesale into your next GC product! This mod has added greatly to my enjoyment of the game!

P.S. Why are there two library entries for the mod?

is there any way to play this mod in conjunction with other mods? I really enjoy the graphics update of this mod and would like to enjoy them when i play mods like the b5 or star trek mods. Any way to do that?

It is probably a good idea to avoid this mod if you're using integrated graphics.

A few days ago a zip file was available titled HGRMod_v102_patch.zip

Is this still an authorized patch to the HGRMod setup.exe file linked
to above?

And... why isn`t there a link to this patch around anywhere
anymore?

thankx

  

Are the HGRMod files still approved for the new (1.6 beta files)?

Thankx.
  

Gentlemen:

I followed the installation and setup instructions for The High Resolution Graphics Mod (the new patch version) very carefully. When I finished getting it set up and restarted DA, I knew it was working because I could see the new logo in the bottom left-hand corner of the start screen. I followed all the recommendations for graphics settings from the installation program, like specular intensity, contrast, etc.

The mod seems to work great on any home planet I start with -- I can see the change in the planet graphics and the colony screen terrain -- but there's a problem: ALL the planets in my home system (and elsewhere, I assume) are still there, but they're... black. It's like they're planets that are made out of pure obsidian -- some still even have clouds swirling around their pitch-black surfaces.

I'm pretty sure this issue isn't occurring as a result of my system not being good enough to run the mod. I have a 256 MB ATI video card with up-to-date drivers (as of two weeks ago), 2 GB of RAM, and a 2.16 gHz processor -- also a 20" widescreen LCD monitor, and all running on a very clean install of Windows XP SP2. The unmodded game (DA 1.6) runs smooth as butter on my machine even with a Gigantic galaxy full of crap and all graphics setting pumped to the max.

Any ideas?

I have been following this thread waiting for the answer to this myself. It would seem the topic has been swept under the carpet. Perhaps you should post your "lite" MV version of the mod yourself jp. I for one am keen to play with this in the MV. You could give all credit for the mod to logic in you mod description.

I understand if you don't want to do this, but after the time it has been since you mentioned it originally, i hardly think anyone would think you are stepping on Logic's toes at all.....

I have no basis for this idea but it won't hurt, perhaps deleting your prefs file located in My Games/GC2DarkAvatar might help. It has hindered other mods previously. Also though i doubt this, ensure to start a new game and not load a previous game. Also make sure there are no other mods conflicting with this one, cause it would not be your machine, i have very similar spec and it works like a treat on mine.

Sorry can't be of any help, perhaps others have seen similar problems?

He's been really busy for the past while, but I believe it's lessened now, so you may try getting ahold of him again.

Edit: Download finally went through, woohoo! The graphics are simply incredible, thanks
