Birth of the Federation

Of course you can lower the random divisor of monster map programs 2-4 (default 10) to 3. But this will only work the way you want, for tightly star-packed galaxies with no separate areas e.g. very clear spiral galaxies.

The first link in Gowron's post is broken due to a forum update. These topics used to be one but somehow got separated and some links got messed up: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewforum.php?f=155 The right post with the missing data you need is this: https://www.armadafleetcomm...

Unfortunately, I can't see any prepared functions you could use for this. You have to write your own code with the help of a GUI/string guy like QD/DCER. Subs you can use for reference or call: sub_446CB0 CoordinatesStarIdEaxToAdrEsi sub_4B6B00 Literal_mod 2 by DCER (the first from your link is just...

There is no simple way of achieving this because monsters don't have map speeds and map range: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?f=231&t=319#p34119 Using monster map-program 1 will force a max speed of 1 (AFAIK) and random movement, but I presume that's not what you are ...

It's a quite intricate RNG implementation elaborated here: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?f=156&t=1632#p22232 Based on this you have to calculate your success chance each time (e.g. final result 2:1 = 80%). One problem being to poor RNG engine in BotF. If you get a ba...

No need of coding skills but simple deductive logic and basic maths. All your above assumpions are right. Just look a bit closer -> center letter is the pulsar sector. More elaborations on map objects: http://flocke.bplaced.net/botfwiki/index.php?title=Category:Map_Objects To explore some of the que...

Galaxy generation default star/anomaly ratio is 5/6: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11#p12 Probabilities for each anomaly and of wormhole connection ratio not yet analysed (afask). Note that during game development each sector could contain more than one stell...

I recall nothing from this project. From reading my quoted notes, this code still reads the minor races tech levels same way as vanilla and expects vanilla upgrades in edifice.bst. And it's just first part of a discontinued project. I strongly advise against using this code (the post should be delet...

I anticipated the 'free cloak' issue when creating the patch (post updated with missing notes form my ida-notepad). Another option for cloaked ships using 'Cloak' instead of 'Evade' has been added (same movements as Evade but they should stay cloaked same as with 'Hold'). And it should be possible t...

Be warned, this topic is a bit confusing due to the order of processing (priority). Keep in mind the first met condition sets the command.

Sorry mate, lately I hardly read the forums due to running out of time before summer break. So I have to focus on posting & finishing some breakthroughs with AI commands. I will come back to MUM after this. Your problem here is a tough one due to the strange, and still partly unkown, mechanics of mi...

During combat, a ship is designated as "unarmed" if its minimum beam range is equal to zero. https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=79#p596 Apart from this are we sure the 'beam minimum range?' at shiplist.sst +0xDC is actually used? Same question arises for shield p...

Here is how to change the enforced 'hold' into 'evade' when surprise-attacked by a fully cloaked fleet: 4721E1 mov dword ptr [ebx+1FCh], 0Dh ; set ship hold // 0x715E7 -> 07 'evade' 4721F0 mov dword ptr [ecx+54h], 0Dh ; set group Hold // 0x715F3 -> 07 'evade' 472213 or byte ptr [ebx+20Ch], 10h ; loc...

I'd be interested in the fixed klingon buttons for ECM:
