Re: BOTF Tactical Camera Views

I've not found a way, sadly
It's a shame as you tend to miss the battles when it defaults to the close up shot all the time.

Re: Deleting buildings = crash after 20 or so turns.

Thanks thunder I got around it in the end by using the group edit feature, I set all research bonuses to 1 and build cost to 1. At least that way all research structures only provide 1 point of research and only cost 1 to upgrade Not sure if it affects special research buildings, I think I'll have t...

Could AI be used to "upscale" BOTF's graphics?

I notice a few old games from the early 2000's are being upscaled to "HD" with better looking graphics due to advances in AI software. One of my old favourite games Settlers IV has had this done via an unofficial HD patch and it looks so much nicer. E.G - https://settlers4-hd.com/ Could so...

They're probably already working on DLC 1 of 25 vs bug fixes. :grin:

Re: Ultimate Editor

I'm using the latest binary from - https://gitlab.com/stbotf/ultimate-editor/-/releases So UE_0.9.0dev3.zip It's odd, I know it was working a few months ago, as I've already edited the stbof file for the UDM mod. I just reinstalled the latest java runtime just to be sure, but it still doesn't work. ...

Re: Ultimate Editor

Trying to run the latest version and I'm getting this when I click FIle, Open - java.lang.NullPointerException I checked the settings area and the language is set to English, even clicking the browse button in there for the trek.exe or stbof.res file shows the same error. I redownloaded the binary a...

Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

Looks like it's been released, "Mixed" reviews on Steam so far.
Has anyone tried it yet?

Re: Star Trek Brave New Worlds

Yea, this episode is the same type of silliness, just greatly exaggerated.
I'm not really enjoying season 2 at all so far, well, there's only one episode left and that sounds very much like the start of a gorn conflict.
Just been kinda blah this season.

I must be getting old and cranky, but I really thought the latest "Musical" episode was bloody stupid.

Re: BotF would make the perfect Tablet game.

I wonder how long a tablet's battery would last if the turn time issue was still present.

Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

True, but at the moment, it just looks like a skinned Stellaris, so it won't be anything different to what's already out there.
But I'll wait and see, will be interesting to see the reviews and "Let's play" videos on youtube to see what it's really like.

Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

Honestly, looking at all the in-game screenshots, it's just a reskinned Stellaris, it's basically a more polished version of the free Star Trek mod for Stellaris.
How they're releasing this as a whole new game is rather confusing, at most, it's a DLC.

Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

True, although one of my major bug bears with Stellaris is you can't command your fleets once they enter battle, which never made sense to me. Can you imagine sending an army or navy into battle and as soon as they engage the enemy, you can't do anything except watch? Maybe it'll be different in thi...

Is there a way to fix the camera on the TOP view?

Hi all, Just a quick one, I notice in every battle, even if you set the camera to top, it go to a close up view, which half the time, you can't see anything going on, just fleeting glimpses of weapons or ships flying by I can sometimes get around that by hitting the enter or spacebar key (I think th...
