Birth of the Federation

your video card software (radeon or intel software) is stretching it on your monitor. Thank you, now I figured it out. After searching quite some time in hardware manager and driver settings (and still don't know version of intel HD chip) I finally remembered one just needs to right click on deskto...

If you select "Set Icons to use Fullscreen DxWnd Command line arguments" there is no need to ever open DxWnd the desktop and programs shortcut will automatically open DxWnd and run game in full screen using a command line argument. I used DxWnd shortcut and select mod from list to prevent taskbar/d...

run as admin -> took a bit long to open (might be a windows issue) select language to use during the installation -> A note that means the language used in the game would be nice. select components to install vs compact vs custom? -> no change when drop down option changed? selection redundant? DxWn...

There is a vanilla save game bug wrt monster data supposed to be stored in and read from the gameInfo file. It doesn't occur in uninterrupted running games but only after loading a save game. I fixed one of them to prevent other monsters getting added multiple times after loading a save game, but of...

Looking forward to tests this when time allows. :up: EDIT: Is there anything to regard when installing this on a 1600x900 resolution laptop :?: Also I'm about to post some save game bug fixes wrt monster data in the ECM topic. These do affect all mods. So if time allows to test them prior to final r...

waiting on planet killer I took on a borg cube with 18 Defiants and won But just because you forced Nog to beam to the cube and beat their transwarp coils to pulp using his separated leg (he said you are the worst captain ever). :wink: Also you lucky bastard having defiants available. I still remem...

The file "Crash.log" is also NOT writing protected...so where could be the OS issue? I'm just asking because an empty BotF crash log is really suspicious after playing several hundred turns with many crashes, regardless of game version and mod. :???: ECM and playing Federation, Cardassians or the F...

1.) Since you said before that you crash log is entirely empty. Could this be an OS / virus protection issue preventing the game from writing to the log file? 2.) Those crashes/freezes when trying to save are clearly DxWnd issued (I remember them as well, and many more). I dunno whether there is any...

Hi again Geek God, 1.) Crashes/freezes with no entry in the crash.log of the mod are most not game code related but OS & hardware compatibility. From what I understand DxWnd is not a source port but just a compatibility workaround, albeit still the best option we have, since MPR++ also has its issue...

Everyone stay calm and chill out. There has been a misunderstanding. Thunderchero is NOT implying that our regular afc swinger parties are canceled. Because of course we don't. So please stop throwing those tricobalt grenades in his garden (especially the upset long time member from the Buckingham P...

I dismissed diplomacy long ago because AI usually goes aggro towards me very soon. I have to raid more, that is maybe true, but I fear for my ships ;) Yes diplomacy won't go far in this situation (AI fleet more powerful than own plus AI not at war with others). Raiding code in ECM has been fixed so...

"Error Correction mod" and the vanilla version of BoF will still NOT work As you state this is not an ECM specific issue. But if not done try setting the rendering in the ini file in the ecm directory via notepad to software. I don't recall the exact name of the ini file and 3d rendering line in it...

can you guys help confirm or deny the following: Hi slickrcbd, 1.) Yes scrapping ships returns the full build cost of the ship from shiplist.sst in credits (if executed in a sector with an inhabited star system controlled by the own empire) while trade goods return only square root of the current i...

This update is a 'nice to have', but for the most users the Ultimate Editor plus BotF Patcher should get the job done.

Most appealing part of this is the mirror universe mod anyway, and at the moment there is very few active members still waiting for updates.

Turn 68, Ferengi comes at me with 17 Light Raiders and already has a War Cruiser built..... These are expected vanilla BotF numbers. Thankfully the AI cannot use its fleet like a human player. A running gag vs. overpowered AI fleets is destroying (conquering) their range-providing outpost (star sys...
