To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

-Updated some things in the game, added some new equipment.

-Fixed problem with not being able to view screenshots in this post.

So, I was roaming the internet searching for an old, old game that I enjoyed a lot. I remember it somehow had a modified version with planets and such, but it stopped working on my pc, I searched for it (modded) on the net but I couldn't find it, and the site I downloaded it from doesn't seem to exist anymore. 😕

The game is a unfinished project by Jonathan Nguyen.

Finally, I found your site and your topic from a bit old, I wouldn't post there...

I felt the game was too raw and with a lot of starts but no ends and anyway the creator left the editor there with tips and hints on how to use it.

I decided it could be fun to mod it with the editor and add some new things or complete some things at my reach, and use the "Orion" mod (not mine) to add textures and models, I just couldn't resist the temptation.

So, finally, there's the modified base.bbg, I explained why expansively on a .txt file in the game folder.

I added 11 planets, new weapons, expanded the variety of equipments, changed prices, added some new commodities, corrected some tiny problems, and complemented missing dialogues. 😎

Anyway, here's a few shots of some intense battles, I hope they will work now:

That post is only a year old 🙂

Your screenshots didn't come through Unimonis, looks like you are allowed to mod this game anyway so I don't see an issue here but if you can contact Jonathan maybe you could get the source or any updated game files he might have 🙂 I will gladly host your modded version.

"Your screenshots didn't come through Unimonis"

I've fixed them, let's hope it works the way I've done it ^^

I couldn't seem to be able to contact Jonathan Nguyen, but since he left the editor there with instructions on how to use it, I assume there is no problem in editing it.

Thank you for your support, DarkOne.

I hope i'm not breaking any forum rules by posting 3 months later 🙄 , if so, please advise me about it.

Hope you guys like the game and the changes I have done 🙂

Carlos.

When I get some extra free time I will surely check this out, look forward to more mods on Beta Blocker because the screenshots look nice.

I also uploaded it to SSC:
