Metadata update for The Firstborn 2.1 that fixes an issue with the Stargate hull's textures. INCLUDED IN 2.2+ - DOWNLOAD PRESERVED SOLELY FOR LEGACY PURPOSES. (AKA using the 2.1 version of the shipset.)
To install the patch, extract the .zip into Star Ruler 2/mods. If prompted to overwrite files, overwrite files. If not prompted to overwrite files, you're doing something wrong - either extracting the .zip into the wrong place, or trying to install it as a standalone mod. You still need The Firstborn 2.1 (and its prerequisites) for this to work, and DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES try to install this on The Firstborn 1.0 or 2.2+. (1.0 will break due to a completely different ship list, 2.2 will mostly just become an inflated 2.1a due to no longer using the new skins added in 2.2, and I can't predict effects for post-2.2 installations at the time of writing because, well, I'm not a prophet. :P) Thank you for reading these instructions.
Patch notes:
- Fixes an issue where the Stargate hull does not have textures.
- Fixes possible compatibility issues with other 'Stargate' hulls and models. Not that there are any yet.
I seem to have made a slight oversight in my patching.
I accidentally changed the name of the Stargate hull from 'Stargate' to 'ProtossStargate'. This is a fairly harmless issue, and it's going to be fixed in the next patch, but I'm not sure when there's going to -be- a next patch (I'm trying to keep patch frequency down because it's inconvenient for me to put up half a dozen patches just like it's inconvenient for any of you to keep downloading them), so it could take a while.
In the meantime, if this really bothers anyone, you can fix the issue by going into ProtossSet/data/shipsets/protoss/hulls.txt, scrolling down to the bottom of the file, and changing "Name: ProtossStargate" to "Name: Stargate". It shouldn't even break multiplayer compatibility.
