Re: Ultimate Editor

Hi chaps, I have a question on functionality. Is there any way to do the following things using UE?; - Change the ownership of a system (say, from Ferengi to Federation, from minor to major race, or even from major to minor race) - Change the war/peace status between factions (major and minor) - Cha...

UE issue

Hi all, I've been playing around with UE 0.7.1a, specifically the galaxy editor, and have come across an interesting issue. When I change a planet type, for example from Barren to Arctic, then play the game, I am still able to build former planet-specific structures like (in this example) Wind Turbi...

Re: Random questions from a (relative) newbie

Thanks SCT. I've been through the Modding Index and can't find the info on base values for different structure types. Perhaps I'm being blind, but more to the point; I think it'd be neat if one could upgrade structures to the same level of native structure at the max-out point (e.g. a Federation pla...

Re: More random questions from (slightly less of a) newbie

Thanks to everyone who's helped me with various bugfixes and how to use the Hex Editor. A very useful tool indeed that has significantly improved my enjoyment of the game! I have a new round of questions; When one conquers a high-technology planet which already has level 9 upgrades, it is possible t...

Enhancing Outpost & Starbase stats

Hi all, After describing to you how I watched two Cardassian destroyers take down an outpost then one turn later watched a lone Romulan Battlecruiser bring a Starbase crashing to the ground, I'm sure you'll understand this question; Could someone please tell me how to change the stats of Outposts an...

Re: Ultimate Editor

Hi chaps, A bit of (relevant) opening background waffle before I move onto topic; Long ago I posted about a problem with not meeting minor races if they've already been subjugated/joined another Empire when you happen across their homeworld. I was pointed to a fix that worked well, or so I thought; ...

Minor race special structures

Hi all,

A question or two on the above topic.

I'm looking at the Nausicaan Recruitment Center and it's "40% ground combat" increase. Is this increase for my entire faction or just for ground combat on Nausicaa?

Thanks in advance,

Spike

I had BotF working pretty well (XP Pro SP3). I had used some solution I found elsewhere on the web (not sure where) to get it working in XP, but it was pretty stable most of the time. Then I had to reformat my hard drive for various reasons. Fresh install of windows, applied all patches. Reinstalle...

Well, I've made the code changes, and the effect was immediate. Both the Cardies and the Romulans expanded, each to a planet a fair way away from their clusters. However, they only took one, and don't seem to be making any attempt to take any more, so it could be coincidence. I also managed to fix a...

Have a strange recurring error concerning 'buy' command

Hi all,

I've got an odd error, which keeps cropping up, where I try to buy the current upgrade on a planet and one of two things happens;

- It doesn't buy it
- It doesn't buy it but does remove the money from my account

Anyone have this problem before, or any fixes?

Thanks and regards,

Spike

I have the most up to date UE and I'm familliar with hex as I've programmed microcontrollers in machine code before. I think I understand how to make the modification no...
