I haven't DL'd this mod yet. I'm on dial-up and I'll wait until Chris is through with the normal updates so I only have to DL it once. I have quite a few of his SFC II mods though and, with those, he used batch files to swap between the mod and the original game. If he is doing the SFC3 mods the same way then you can just create shortcuts to them on your desktop and switch between the regular and modded games so you shouldn't have to back-up any files. Maybe someone who has the mod installed knows if it works the same way.  




I've tried endlessly and fruitlessly to get the mod to work on the D3 server kit, but I have failed everytime.  A lot of people have complained (with good reason) about Taldren's shoddy work with regards to all the bugs in SFC3.  IMO, the game would be OK if the server kit wasnt such a piece of crap.  First...No user interface.  Second, incompatibility with mods,  Third, System resource hog.

Note to Chris:  Thank you so much for giving this game new life. I have finally found the beauty of Single Player conquest mode.  

Note to anyone:  If you find out how to make THIS mod work on a server, build it, and people will come.

Out of a possible:  

I rate the Chris Jones Rebalancing Mod:  

I just wish people would make some online dynas for this thing.

And I have an embarrassing admission to make:  I've taken the new Talon as a wife!  Little bugger's COOL!

Red means you had some files different..

the one file exe that's out there on my site is slighty different than the SFC3 Files version.

Have to remedy that so eveyone's on the same page.... with the beta.

You were probably hooking up with someone who downloaded the Dominion Wars beta and the TNG Mega Mod from SFC3 Files.

If you got the one file exe its a dit different.  I shouldn't have done it that way, looking back a bit.

I'll have to release an update on SFC3 Files that puts people on the same page as the exe.

Maybe you could implement some sort of versioning number system, so people can make sure that all in the gamespy room are on the same (compatible) version???

I have plans to implement a 'MOD PATCH' for the SFC3 Files version that makes it exactly the same as the single exe on my site..

After that the next update will be the final release  

I am overwhelmed by the support here..

What do you guys think of the high speed on some ships.?

I thought it felt quite right, as feeling shocked at the support dont be. I only wish I had the talent and time to make somthing like this, the new fekh'ler rocks except the green is different than the rest of the ships. Not a big problem just a continuity thing.

Respect - given  

Erm also the speed of the ships seemed fine to me I didnt find anything out of place, and a patch would be helpful for gamespiers.

SFC3 Files has been updated..

The SFC3 Files version has an update now..  which makes it equal to the exe on my site...

If you got the eight parts or the one exe on my site you don't need the update..

If you got the 1st two files from SFC2Files, go there and get this update...

Thanks to Dash Jones (no relation, lol) for starting this thread...:)

Yes, I know it's all caps, but I have to say, I've gone spastic with complete awe!  This is it!  This is the THING!  I decided to try out Chris Jones's Mod and guess what...It's freaking Rocking!  I can't say enough about it!  It actually has the ships as more reasonable designs.  For example, the Talon, is no longer a strange ship from nowhere, it's the freaking Romulon Shuttle.

If that's not enough, they have more Borg ships for you Borg Players, including the Assimilator!  More Federation ships including the Centaur!  The Fehk'lir design has been replaced with something that ACTUALLY looks more Klingon!  And it has PLAYABLE Dominion and Cardassians, as well as a Ferengi vessel and a Breen Ship tossed in the mix!  I mean, this IS TOTALLY INCREDIBLE, with all sorts of wild awesome things!

It does not seem to work with the Beta Patch...just a warning, and the full version will not work on the D3 or in MP, so it's skirmish, however, the partial version should work.  I'm totally thrilled by it, and I typically don't like concentrating on AI skirmishes!  That's how Awesome it is.

Note to Taldren, and Dave if you have any say in the matter (Though should I be asking Bradley instead)? Can you use some of the ideas of the Mod for the Romulans, replacing some of the ships with some of his...Oh yes...guys...he has the Valdore!

Yeah, I first DL'ed the mod about 2 weeks ago, and I love it too.  It's given a breath of fresh air to a patchless game which seems to be missing a lot. If ONLY I could figure out how to install this mod into a server kit to put it on a D3 server, then I would revel in joy!!!

Pass it on - this rocks, I dont know even though its only a beta and is half finished itself, this is sorta how I would have liked SFC3 to be. The fact that you can Will Rickers 3 warp naceled Enterprise from the future going up against an ablative armourd borg cube. THIS ROCKS

Furthermore, not having thought annoying shield bars displayed in game makes the game just look awsome
