[EL] EvoTweak Fan Modpack v7.6! [w/auto-scripter]
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2016 9:47 am
EvoTweaker v7.6! 2019 Community ModPack w/ switchero scripter & added game mode (EL v 1.0828 min.)
So this has went from a simple question thread to basically a total conversion of, sounds, community mods with a pre-launcher for the game.
For Those who already have **7.5**
There is a hot patch for the launcher which adds some extra fantastic assets and fixes some minor and major problems in installing injectors, file issues, error handling, adding HARDCORE mode (auto-scripting event creator with sound overlay effects) and most important of all imo.......
Launching THROUGH STEAM so that licensing is not required when using the scripter tools.
Download the patch here, extract to your main evochron folder.
PATCH EvoTweaker ModS 7.51a----->7.60
(skip.txt & skip2.txt inside MUST FIRST BE DELETED it the patch doesn't do it automatically).

EvoTweaker Lite Version - No Music

At this time the modpack is not updated to use the "SE" update, however you can forcibly install it by making two empty text files called skip & skip2 in your Evochron install folder, this will skip any pre-checks...don't expect everything to work!
I have Created an entire Sound pack & Mod Manager through a batch file called Switchero.
Sounds are all new, Music is from FLAC tracks, though downsampled to normal levels, and some has been altered by me to give an upbeat retro experience, add to that the custom launcher to tweak your setup and all the other popular COMMUNITY mods in one place....With all credits in Readme and Launcher to creators.
Basically...
If it doesn't feel like a brand...BRAND new game from a fresh install, I dropped the ball!
PS. Launcher and mods work with online play
Launcher allows you to very fluidly copy new assets to the game without physically copy and pasting files, I have found it saves me some time if I want to switch things up in my game, tweak mods, etc.. That and it consists of a wide variety of credit given mods from the COMMUNITY here, and makes it easy to choose between a few that can't work together without the need of manually going into directories.
It is an accumulation of all the work people did here to make this experience even better.
The new "Hardcore mode" features may require the game to be in an x86 folder / mode or to use the included 64 bit install mode for scripters to work as designed.
If you WANT Hardcore mode you MUST;
a) Turn it ON - Through EvoTweaker Main Menu "H" Key
b) START GAME THROUGH EVOTWEAKER "0" Number Key
c) Self-Destruct Key & Jettison MUST be Game Defaults of "F7" & "J" (I have no way of avoiding this step at the moment)
d) Files in ModS\beta directory path, including ANY wav or exe files must stay unmodified and where they are!
Hardcore mode allows for; Oxygen Leaks, Fulcrum Overloads, Reactor Breaches due to heat. All situations involve racing against the clock where whatever you are doing needs to be balanced with your need for survival. It changes combat techniques especially as subsystem damage now really MATTERS.
Overheating during combat exists now, where you need to relax & cool off for at least a few moments else risk an explosion in your reactor.
Works in Single & Multiplayer...
...You do NOT NEED to use the launcher, all assets are included in ModS folder and you can copy/paste at will. It is simply much easier to use it in my opinion. (Copy/Pasting music without the launcher installing "may" create in-game errors or incorrect placing / naming schemes)
The launcher can automate common issue fixes at a couple key presses, set game engine frame-rate limits, change settings before launch (settings not found in game), flush your video memory, etc, to improve play-ability on older machines & fix some common types of crashes to desktop as well as quickly configure options not found in the game or silence typical "too frequent" sounds all in batch menus.
Many mods included in this package can be found here on the forums, but I bundled the most common used ones together as well as mine after throughout testing including the ReShade injectors which provide the biggest benefits to the game (as well as the ones which actually work).
modpack contains .exe / .bat files meant for diagnosing problems with older setups and are required in many situations where there's no way for me to script the tool/event in windows. They are safe.
SELF-EXTRACTS, target your main Evochron Directory for expansion (for steam, find the main directory or your steam library and Evochron, or if default, in program files (x86) /steam/steamapps ....Note, you can unpack the archive but to prevent problems the launcher will NOT run if it does not detect evochron in its directory

Depreciated Version 5
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a78oppuh5huzp ... eaker5.exe
The Above link will bring you to the latest December 2018 7.5-alpha standalone package &
7.38-->7.5a patcher for existing installs.
For any "tracker" or "script while playing" modes, the batch MUST NOT BE CLOSED.
If it has on its own than you have encounter a bug / error and should report it.
For compression reasons, this package is now a solid archive. If you get ANY errors you must either redownload the whole thing, or attempt a repair through WinRAR (there is a recovery file attached to the exe pack it can use)
As of 7.5-alpha
The patcher and 7.5a standalone will COMPLETELY get rid of the old batch file and ANY text files critical to function to do a fresh restart as before this created a variable bug and CTD.
As usual you MUST EXTRACT TO Evochron's MAIN folder before using this. Fresh installs only please.
Last update Maybe some touchups here and there...but I'm only going to plug holes from
now on.
Big Bugfixes, quite a few new sounds, including "original" starfox snes samples
(since this game is pretty retro looking ;P), music, optional Dimmed nebulae,
starfox clips, Tie fighter wings, Xwing Cockpit, hopefully fixed thrusters on star wars ships, and probably most fun and very very experimental (aka....it might crash itself spectacularly) is a new 'hardcore' version which is in alpha and adds considerable danger to you by creating situations where you have to find coolant and oxygen in a hurry due to damage you took...plus some bonuses ;P.
Orbital slingshots, and subsystem damage now REALLY matters with hardcore enabled.
This update is awesome.
The batch now is firmly married to the ModS asset folder and the game log. It also
is using reshader "hopefully correctly" now as well as autohotkey executes.
Batch menus have been updated for new options and sounds.
A computer with an SSD might be worthwhile for the new scripts to ensure you don't run into issues at some points, as they read-write to the log file pretty readily.... through my limited testing hard drives could have issues when events occured while loading on-the-fly in game.
If you want the new features to work correct or have mods install without errors you
MUST USE THE LAUNCHER and install it PROPERLY in the evochron root folder.
If for some reason it wasn't done by the patcher or exe, DELETE SKIP.TXT BEFORE UPDATING. First time installs for newbie players need not worry. It should look like a fresh install and not immediately jump to the main menu!
7.5 assets include
XWing cockpit (low quality though)
a few more sounds, laser, missile, explosions.
snes starfox samples
two new "parts" wings for spacecraft ".X models" updated to scale correctly by Vice from a mod for the previous game.
Some more music and a "space background EM sounds" option.
And of course all the HARDCORE mode alerts with audio FX.
Bonus Story Quests ONLY (~5Mb)

***********IF corrupted download , you can open with WinRar (if you have it) directly (right click) and use the large recovery archive included thus saving you another rather large download. (this had been a concern for faster error prone downloads unlike with torrents).
To fix the file -> Open with Winrar -> select tools -> Repair Archive...wait. Open .fixed file. I find it works extremely well to get the original back in events of download errors.
I find this option fast for tweaking various mods, as with a mouse and explorer it can be hard to beat the speed console commands at the click of a # and enter key.
EvoTweakeroV7 includes, (with credits in launcher to respective authors & readmes included);
Matchsounds 6 - HQ sound effects, music, custom AI taunts, environment FX
options include;
- Custom tweaking of your game sounds & quick install / uninstall.
- In menu game launch / pilot backup (glitch tool) in real-time.
- Some new voice taunts in singleplayer AI
- 2 Completely new Startup Routine for Ship & 1 for Terrain Walker (Matchsounds Mod)
- R2D2 computer alerts
- New computer alerts with and without environment FX
- Computer silenced mode
- Additional music tracks (enough for lots of playtime) from Evochron Mercenary and other credited sources as per millennium copyright act (not for resale in any way), original Evochron Legacy tracks will play + 4-5 hours of additional playtime tracks. Shuffled installer through switchero ensures a high likelihood of hearing a large variety of threat & general tracks.
- New ambient, engine, warp, weapon, environment, and many, many other in-game sounds.
Perch v2 Cockpit Model - cockpit
Oblivion Cockpit Model - cockpit
Various new Flare effects - engines / lensflare / various
Reshade injector .dlls for HDR, Motion Blur, etc. -effects / lensflare
Holographic Radar and Target Displays, seperately for Perch & Stock Cockpits - hud
StarWars frames - ships
VERY High quality backdrops & new starfield - environment
Mass Effect style gates - environment
Lower gamma warp flash
Alt. Warp Tunnel
The Cosmic Glitch storyline - quest
The Leap of Faith - short early ver quest
Self-Rescue Script - temporary and limited mechanic (requires batch launcher to function)
Star Trek Textures for Default Cockpit & HUD - hud
Elite Dangerous style HUD + cursor - hud
F-16 Style HUD + cursor - hud
Russian Fighter Style HUD + cursor - HUD
COMPLETE RUSSIAN OVERHAUL / Translation - Language
Minimalist Cursor with colors for HUD.
custom pitch ladder - hud
Various backup, glitch, bug and crash to desktop general automated fixes for evochron.
Video memory Tool to help older systems with 128Mb to 1GB vram (cause of a crash / hangup)
List of common modable sound info.
pre-game launch tweaker (frameratelock, cubemapping, warp fade to black, auto fixes, etc)
"switchero" launcher with ability to try out and test sounds "with test command" before install, mix and match mods included and tweak other files and quickly fix graphic fps or crash to desktop common bugs, including corruption issues.
As of V 1.0808 All Troubleshooting & Pre-Launch Tweaks Work correctly.
If you find copy and pasting physically is more convenient, all assets are accessible in the ModS folder, though not as convenient as the launcher.
Current Bugs
- when shooting in a station the incorrect sound will play (shares the fulcrum jump failure sound)
-stealthon.wav will play when using various secondary weapon "packs"
- startup sound "may" be cutoff if your computer is very quick to startup evochron...such as with a solid state drive.
- Clipping in some holograms may be present with perch config.
- Star Wars frames may have incorrect thruster placement....which I honestly do not have time to go fix...feel free to mess around with their text files.
Stay Spicy y'all..... see you serverside on sundays!
