Birth of the Federation

Any image can be resized/replaced. Some instances will require other changes such as increasing place holders and or moving text. If suffix is changed the trek.exe must be edited. example when some ***_30.tga images where changed to use ***_61 images, but some locations still used ***_30.tga images....

trek.exe has a fixed limit, here is topic on limit and code location

Hello BotF-community,
if I edit with UE the required technology points for reaching the next technology level, will this also effect AI and minor races or not?

yes Human, AI and minors use same values

due to ship list changes the tutorials only work on original (vanilla) version.

*tactscn.wdf text in combat area "beam %" changes only the font, not the bars.

correct, but you can edit image or resize them.

and what is 'beam %' in tactical combat? IIRC this changes text when status is selected you get text and % bars below each ship. beam.jpg there must be also some values who set that only capital letters are used. but didn't find anything near your mentioned values in trek.exe. code reads lexicon or...

There are many unused images and files in the stbof.res. I had a list of all the "not used images" at one time.

As I mentioned before, it seems the area for wdf editing is 2000 X 2000 pixels, therefore it gives those scrolling options when using 1920 X 1080,
there is still room to edit in that window for that resolution.

it was 2560 x 2048 max in a file I did not expect.

check your PM

I can tell you where in trek.exe

at 4A8FF4 is start for code subsections

offset for tga file names start at 57EE44

interesting, have you set the trek.exe for new resolution? I have not upgraded to 4k so testing is tough for me, but UE and 1080 will give me scroll up - down and left - right scroll.jpg your example issue is 4/5 ratio like it is a fixed size. And window area not able to scroll. so I don't understan...

what version of UE?

Back to your request for enhancement, could you provide an screenshot of how large you can get? I am not seeing a max limit so I think it may use % of screen/window?

It sounds like most of your ships upgraded at the same time.

short term fix would be to scrap a few ships, while long term fix would be to colonize like crazy.

also leaving build queue empty will generate some extra credits per turn.

I just did a quick test of wdfedit and it worked without any issues on larger images. here is what I did on vanilla 1080 files, 1. extracted "all" wdf and tga files from stbof.res to new folder (this is important to have all tga's and all wdf's files in same folder as wdfedit.exe) 2. created 4 large...
