the SHIP. TXT file seems to be misaligned. it may be that I just don't have the knowledge or expertise but I have tried opening it with several different applications, to include an html viewer, Google docs, and a text viewer/editor. I even spent a couple of hours fiddling with the file in the text editor but could not get the characters to align. any advice on what to use to view it, or how to get the characters to align correctly? I am viewing it on an android phone, which may be the problem too. I have yet to try it on my PC. Perhaps it will display correctly on the PC? 


Oh, and I have forgotten myself. A. Maz. Ing module!!! Thank you so much for realizing this fantastic scenario and setting! The artwork is on fricking point, the NPCs are fascinating and terrifying, the pathos is utterly heart wrenching and more than all of this, it is SUCH a blast to run! as I've come to expect from any mothership mod, the graphic design is unreal and the maximalist layout is such a joy to peruse, I can't help but be overcome with envy! So looking forward to what you might create next! I confess that my personal interest doesn't extend past mothership, at least currently, but a quadra project within a different system would honestly be enough to entice me to take a look at that system 馃憤鈽猴笍

Interesting! I haven't tried opening it on a phone, but on my laptop the SHIP.TXT file works fine. I'll add the above SHIP.TXT.PNG to the downloads for anyone having this issue.

And thank you for the kind words!! Just so you know, the main thing I'm working on now is this: https://www.paradiso.zone/ooo-d23/ And also a big book of tables for Mothership: https://ultraparadiso.itch.io/100

Oh, that looks like a fun module to play and book to peruse. I admit that I haven't been the biggest fan of mega dungeons for the majority of the time I've been playing and running games, but my recent opinions on them have, along with my opinions on just about everything, moved pretty far to the left :) running a couple of delightfully terrifying iterations of Gradient Descent helped a lot :) thanks for offering the png as an alternative. Funnily enough, I didn't experience the same misalignment problem on my PC, the map looked exactly as it does in the module :) Weird, my best guess is the aspect ratio difference is the problem. Or maybe it's just me, heh, probably just me.

The praise was well earned! I am so excited to put my players through WBR!!!

The discrepancy is due to the line endings, CRLF vs LF. I'm guessing this was made on a Mac, if you're on Windows and open in Notepad it might not work. Notepad++ handles this correctly and worked for me.
