Re: BotF on Linux

Hi to All, I am running BotF with Wine on Ubuntu for years. It's great, with a screen bigger than the resolution of BotF (most likely 800x600) everythings okay. Now I am running two Majors in Multiplayer. I've tried it with Wine, but stopped early with network setup. Two different sessions of Wine a...

Re: Ship scan range issue (mod related)

Took a few days more before I made the check. The good thing: taking into account the little time I had for the checks the issue seems to be (save)game-related, not mod-related or botf-related. I could not repeat the issue with different versions or find an explanation for the two games where this h...

Ship scan range issue (mod related)

Hello, don't know if someone reported the following issue before (couldn't find a posting): If a scout (eg. scan range 3) has lower scan range than a cruiser (eg. scan range 4) and these ships were grouped together, the group gets the scout scan range (eg. 3 , which results in an effective reduction...

Re: Intel

Hello again, thanks for the replay. @thunderchero: thank you for information. It was like switching on the lights ;) Wondering how I could not find out myself. I had some days off from BoTF, but the last two nights I did some testing. First, I was unable to restore the old mod state with inner sec b...

Intel

Hello, I am wondering about the Intel mechanism. For me it seems that there are some things now working as I had expected. What I had observed lately: - a modded building gave 10% security (once per system building, and I had 3 to 4 times more systems than any other empire). I run into Card and - oh...

Re: turn changes in botf

This community has tried to grt the code many years ago. You can search the forum history for an admin/user named Jenny or similar from armadafleetcommand - as far as I remembered. They tried it real hard! In the end the coders were wandered away to unknown destinies (after all they had to earn mone...

Re: early AI development

Hallo Flocke, I agree with you (and all other players) about the weak AI. Borgs attacking AI is only for "testing the overall effects", not really a serious game option. BTW: there is a peace of code around, which makes all starting systems fully terraformed. My impression is that this opt...

Ideas for Borg planetary assault effects

Hi to all, I played BotF for many years and either the Borgs were disabled or when they attack a system, this was turned to a barren world at all. Lately I've read the related topics and ask myself, what about de-terraforming? When the Borgs had killed all the population, the planet type and animati...

Re: modding transporter ship id

Hi thunderchero, thanks for the quick response. I am using with colony ships some code changes already (Sct's tech related terraforming rate and fixed numbers of buildings), so production value is meaningless with colony ships. What I have in mind is to eliminate the ship class #9, which is related ...

Re: Terraforming

Hi,

at hex address 0x17D3C8 you can mod the terraforming factor.
With vanilla default value is 0.1 (hex code CDCC CC3D), by changing to 0000 003F you need 5 times to terraform any planet.

modding transporter ship id

Hello to everyone around, lately I had the idea to eliminate the transporter id and give the abilities to either colony ships or cruisers. That would mean to do a lot of id replacing and I asked myself, if anybody had already a table of addresses for such an task. Or are the subroutines known where ...
