E:BFD Mini-Mod

[Gobalopper]

Just a quick update as I have been pretty busy lately. I finally got Emperor working without crashing randomly. It turns out that my sound card, SB Live!, was the problem. I tried disabling it and that seemed to work but of course I didn't have any sound. So I went back and put my old sound card, Monster MX300, in and the game hasn't crashed since. So if you are getting random crashes and have a Sound Blaster card try disabling it in the System menu and see if that helps. It is probably the only thing you can do until the next patch arrives since the latest drivers didn't seem to help.

Back to the topic at hand. Malcolm Lim has once again unlocked some new features and sent me the files. E:BFD Mini-Mod as it is now called unlocks three new structures and one new unit on top of what it did previously. Since the readme is a little long I won't post it here but be sure to read it. Two other things to remember, you will have to create the datamodel directory and place the files there in order for it to work. And don't try using this in campaign as it will most likely crash, it is really only meant for skirmish games.

I have some images to post later today, two wallpapers and another on how much veteran status affects units, so watch for those.

Update: I should probably mention that just because my copy of the game doesn't work with an SB Live! sound card that everyone elses won't either. I think it is probably a combination of things, of course I have no clue what those are at this point. But I do know that they are working on a patch to fix it.
