Birth of the Federation

Ah makes sense. I do try to rotate any fights I do because the camera tends to default to not a good view when you execute the turn. But I'll experiment and see what happens. Thanks for the advice and the help once again!

Not sure why it wouldn't work through the add files option. Yes I moved the original stbof.res from UM5 to add files, and then back. But! UE worked better and now the game loads and I no longer get any crashes while hovering over those two units. Thanks a lot Thunderchero! Working great now :) Can't...

So just by looking through the folders, I'm guessing that I need to use the "add files" folder in tools, and follow those instructions. I did that, but I'm still getting crashes. Am I missing anything? Addition: Forgot to move the new .res file that's created from that back into the UM5 fo...

Confirmed it does the same crash when hovering over the ships in the build menu in 1024 x 768 version

My apologies. It was really only a matter of days before I noticed the next version came out and I have a busy work schedule. You're right, I should've posted it. :( What's inside the crash file is below. I'm using the middle option for resolution (forget the exact parameters of it), but I can reins...

Hi all, So glad there's a new version of UM5 out. I've been playing version 2.5 for quite a while (BOTF even longer, over 15 years) and I love not only the increased depth it adds to botf but the work you guys have done to stabilize the game and allow it to run on modern systems. 2.5 is by far the m...

Well you don't have to answer that last part if you don't want to. A few more turns of gifts and then they all accepted the bribes. I guess even if the relationship bar shows full worshipful, it still takes a few more gifts for them to be considered at full favor due to the diminished effect of gift...

Thanks for the response Thunder! Does it also still matter which "form" of the bribes get sent still? I currently have 4 minors all at full worshipful and have been trying to bribe them but have been unsuccessful no matter which format the bribe is in. I'll try a few more gifts like you su...

Hey guys. I'm a new user to the forums and site but have been a long time player of botf. I was really excited when I found the UDM, because not only does it expand the great game that botf is, but seems to have stabilize it for me as well. I have had ZERO crashes since installing it, no matter what...
