It seems like someone has made a fan update of HPM Moddb.com

Any chance this is compatible with HPMXB? Moddb.com

I had the VDM script enabled already, using the .bat file did not make random events appear in my old save, and a couple test games with a new campaign also didnt see any random events. Are they very uncommon?

Im not seeing the random special events popping up at all, not sure what's wrong, makes the game feel pretty vanilla, but slower.

Also, can there be like a sub-mod where rank and platoon fire come back? I loved that stuff and the front 2 ranks firing thing feels silly. Like, the game has "improved volley fire" but no one is volley firing.

Gosh that annoying, it was the load on demand thing. That's so weird, for another mod i was playing weeks ago they suggested ticking that off to make the game run smoother.

I keep getting a runtime error when i rush to assist my fellow elven lords in a battle against the evil orcs. The error happens during the actual battle, plez help troubleshoot?

Also, super happy the mod is still here, I had it years ago on my last computer and am happy to get it back.

I had the wrong battle set in the skirmish mode.

Hey, weird question, but i followed the install instructions in the readme, and i booted everything up, but there's only one possible skirmish map and almost no map options. Did i do something wrong?

Yes . . . PM on moddb . . . give me a sec . . .

Really i'm away from that computer atm, but when i get home i'll figure out how to get it to you.

Yes it appears i have outlaw sectors, if the pirates attack literally everyone who has ever had a bounty on them, how do i stop them coming after me? I've noticed that the bounty on the AIs sometimes drops, as if they're paying part of it off as they come into the money, is there a way in-game for me to do something similar?

2nd question, I'm really far into this game on the SW Map, great map btw no complaints, and all of a sudden the game has completely frozen. I've tried closing the game and restarting it, i've tried saving a new save, and loading from that, but without fail it hard-locks within 5s of the load . . . loading. Some forums (LOL including posts by you from like 6y ago) suggest it MIGHT be a E4X thing, reinstall the mod, which i tried, no dice. I call my computer a potato, but it's not THAT bad, and task manager implies there's plenty of RAM and CPU left, so i don't think it's a hardware limitation. Any advice?

Also, could their spawn rate of acclamators be tuned down? They really spam them to the point where 1-2 volleys is enough to wipe out my colony which is heavily built up.

Also, i think i've noticed a bug with the mod or maybe the game, i just put a sizeable bounty on my neighbor, he couldn't keep up with my economy, the pirate raid event triggered, and then the pirates completely ignore the clear routes to my enemies territory and come to my closest system to them, and they don't pass through, they stay and raid the place. I've noticed that when i don't put bounties on other people, they ignore me too, what's going on?

Still loving this mod after all these years, however i see the last news update was back in december and I'm wondering when you expect to publish the NR? I personally can wait, because I forgot about the minimods and I'm gonna go install those next, plus the Empire's Triangles of Doom all the way for me.

FFS, I just spent an hour learning about the vagaries of the Chiss Ascendency and related topics on wookiepedia trying to find details on this ship, only to come back here and read this ship don't exist.

Still lovin' this mod, still lovin' you (notice me senpai :p).

I've been wondering actually, all the SW fanart in the loading screens, where does it come from? Because I'd love to put them on a slideshow as my desktop background and screensaver.

I'm having the weird issue where the NR isn't showing up as a faction choice? If the NR hasn't been implemented yet, just ignore me.

I'm also suffering from a huge case of Bellator love. The Executor is ugly and utilitarian, whereas Bellator is simply elegant and ready to cut your (fleet's) heart out.

My only request is some prequel music gets in here. The music when Qui-Gon, Obi, and Darth Maul are fighting is a MUST.

I voted, love this mod, and it can only get better.

BTW, I figured it out. The little note at the bottom of one of the loading screens saying the mod is LOOSELY based on historical events? Fall of the Western Roman Empire, calling it now, put me down as Energywelder.

It's gonna be the Chiss right? They're the only other large galactic power at the time. Oh wait, or the Hapans? The hapans kinda have a limited ship set though . . .
