Re: Monster Editing Info

Interesting, I didn't expect code. I will give this a try real soon. Been busy with life and such with my son and newborn daughter, she is just 2 weeks old as of today. I ended up also switching out the Echo Papa 2B and put 2A Edo God in it's place, which makes the station shoot back if attacked. I ...

Re: Monster Editing Info

There are 2 issues I seem to be having with my Edo god aliens. 1. If race 12h is being attacked by a monster, game will crash due to wrong alien in 12h home system ie ailen!=0 narrowed it down to 00471330 alien_0_loop_471330: ; "alien != 0" Depending on dead_race_bitmask1 it would either x...

Re: Monster Editing Info

Easiest way is to write a new shared sub: - read the star ID from [5B5560] TC_sector_lst_entry (using wiki info on sector.lst) - load systInfo entry by star ID and read pop race ID aka inhabitants - if empire 0-4 then exit set eax 0 (best check >4 and <24h in case pop is dead) - else load start pos...

Re: Monster Editing Info

Yes I use that wiki religiously now, and perhaps the one in the UE topic more, but still dont really understand a few things (perhaps they are not explained in deatails) I believe what you are referring to is this where 0x20 = the Acamarians. Offset 0x0020 = known races (bitwise XOR with 0x01 = card...

Re: Multiple Edo Gods (hacky way)

say hello to Nor Class Stations in Bajor and Cardassia :mrgreen: Sorry to spoil the fun, but there is still much work to do. There is many hardcoded checks for EDO in bitmasks and special pointer for EDO alienInfo entry to check relationship of others to the EDO in combat. One of my fixes even adds...

Re: Scientific Theories with DeepAI

I had some follow up questions for the AI, I was highly curious about the theoretical aspects of negative energy density and mass and it gave some nice explanations :) Hello AI, we were talking yesterday about wormholes and warp drives, do you remember? We spoke about the negative energy required to...

Scientific Theories with DeepAI

I had a very interesting chat with AI today. Asked it a few questions about FTL travel and the viability and such. Got into some really technical stuff with it, or at least tried to. Some interesting things it had to say. I won't post it all, but here are some of the good stuffs: 1. But many of Eins...

Memory Leak: Solution?

So I was listening to the Dev Interview recently and when Bill talked about the memory leak a little bit, I got to thinking. From what he said, it leaks into the operating system. This happens with other games as well, particularly older ones, and the reasoning was that the computer's own uptime cre...

Re: BOTF Developer interview

One of our members here Jean NY Guard did a fantastic interview with those two BotF developers. I enjoyed every minute of it, and just had another listen and enjoyed it just as much. I am very glad they are glad to know BotF still has active community of players and people interested in sequels.

Re: For SCT (Gomtuu effect)

Yes, and this unique special attack could be a nice template for an explosion and/or self destruction feature (600 damage reduced by distance IIRC). A very interesting thought which never crossed my mind. It could replace Ram, and be coded so the shield must be down first to damage hulls. I never l...

Re: For SCT (Gomtuu effect)

Yes, spin and the shockwave. This was the first time I have ever seen it in action. Against cloaked ships only? Maybe that's why, because I usually played Feds. I don't recall attacking it as Roms. This makes it the only ship with a non phaser/torpedo weapon, yes?
