[MOD][SW2] Project "Retrospection"

[Goblin Wizard]

At last I was able to duplicate the error and I've found what's causing it. Unfortunately, it's StarForce copy protection system. The only solution I know is downloading a different "Star Wolves 2.exe" version from e.g. GameCopyWorld so it's up to you guys. With original exe my game crashes at the same moment as yours. After replacing this only one file all works nice and smooth.

Great ... works with the english exe from gamecopyworld ... tried the german before and with this exe it wont work

grrr, gamecopyworld just hangs when i try to dl from any of thier mirrors. Ill try later and let you know how it goes.

Horray!

Got it up and running. My game crashed at the same point that kokain_jtp dd but I used your save games and was able to proceed.

I am enjoying the "translations:".

Hot Plasma to you Star Wolves!

Game is kicking my patootie. MAybe I am doing something wrong but I am on the first mission that has combat , delivering the hammer and patroling the sector and the enemies are tearing me apart. I have taken out 3 alien patrols but when I go against the pirates, they tear me down in seconds.

In the first sector I bought a turret for my mothership and a laser for my pilot, that was all I had cash to afford. I really didd't see anything else for sale that would have been useful. Any hints on this Goblinwizard?

[Goblin Wizard]

Yesss... the beginning is hard and tricky. I had the same problem when I tried the mod for the 1st couple of times. It depends on your tactic but my idea was to keep mothership as tank so I sold one of my fighters and some other unnecessary stuff, bought cheapest auto-repair system (~160K) for my ms and for the rest of cash (10-15K) best affordable fighter. Even basic turrets for your ms are costly at the beginning and with fresh pilots don't do much damage. To survive your first fights you need to regenerate your ms. IMO fighters are too fragile to serve as a tank.

OK spoiler alert I guess

Heres how I managed to get past this. I reloaded following your advice, I also changed motherships from the Ramada to the one you have in your first save for its extra durability, with one extra step. I made sure phantom had alien 2 tech learned and sold all the small autocannons on the fighters for extra cash for another turret.

That second sector goes a ton smoother being able to mount the alien tech, yes alien blaster autocannons are 10x better than the human ones, you pick up from the start. Even still I had to pause and think my tactics on each fight. So far I am loving this mod and it is just the begining. Thank you for bringing it over to us Goblinwizard!
