Re: "Generations" BOTF development mod

only 3 mods have this currently UDM, UCW and Galaxy mod. How sensible would it be for users to unpatch say the Ultimate Dominion Mod? I didn't know the 18 ship could cause so many issues, should I just remove it? That may over all be the better trade-off. Litte gain but potential for not so little ...

Re: "Generations" BOTF development mod

Added 18 ships group patch. 18 task fleet patch works, but will complicate/conflict with some patches. when in combat with minors, combat is limited to single minor ship even if more ships in same sector. also lowers available taskforce id's in longer game this could become an issue since code does...

Re: Ship compatibility (UDM, Vanilla)

so it probably that the fact that I uploaded tga to the ship pack zip files that caused me trouble. you can edit the shippack but hob and tga prefix must match exactly. so without seeing the rest of the shippack files I don't know if they match note; IIRC i_**270.tga would not import from shippack ...

Re: Ship compatibility (UDM, Vanilla)

Do I add the necessary files directly to the ship-pack or would you add it to mod first and create a fresh shippack? The former did not seem to work for me-- I added a 270x225 tga images it still appears blank when the pack is opened in UE Screenshot_6.png ^ This was my recent attempt with UDM Galo...

Re: microsoft at it again ???

simple test run installer
wait for task bar icon to disappear
try to delete installer
if it does delete you can always un-delete installer

if it does not delete what program is it open in and why now?

Re: Ship compatibility (UDM, Vanilla)

don't forget you need to create/resize an existing image for when any resolutions is installed.

Re: Ship compatibility (UDM, Vanilla)

I also was planning to re designate some of them to replace a few vanilla models, but I've not gotten to that yet at the time. Would it be as easy just selecting the new ships on the left in UE's shippack opener and just swapping out a vanilla model for a udm one. This was before I updated to the l...

Re: "Generations" BOTF development mod

I always like the mod concept, The really tough part is getting enough early/late era ships for other race. Sounds like you are interested enough you might even try your hand at ship modeling (if I can do it, anyone should be able to). If interested let me know some software is no longer available. ...
