some weird stuff....

Yeah, thunderchero fixed the vanilla ships with the hob/LOD fix, so stability should be better than most mods (about max one crash per 300 turns played).

Re: Dilithium

So it's used for ship BUILDING only? Sadly an unfinished feature supposed for ship specific dilithium costs, global and local dilithium pools, a starting pool value & income and diplomatic trading options. But this would be way too much work. There's no limit to the size of my fleet (based on D...

Re: New installer Beta available 11-20-23

No reason to not show them all in UE. (...) Then ofc I need icons... Keep it simple, for now only the used asteroid & asteroid belt dilithium icons (stbof.res d.tga & id.tga): https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=57639#p57639 The suggestion by thunderchero is sti...

Re: New installer Beta available 11-20-23

Point is, right now in UE there barily is enough space to display two of these. Current exploit code doesn't change the map icons (still only food, energy and dilithium, but no asteroid icon). There is a vanilla bug with missing dilithium icons for minor races (Resource Level check, not bitmask): h...

Re: New installer Beta available 11-20-23

When you talk of bitmask, it can have all at the same time I guess. How many icons would that be? :shock: I don't need to tell an expert programmer dword bitmasks support up to 32 items (albeit there can be only one sun type). But icons are only for non-obvious items (e.g. not for planets, animated...

Re: Extending the shiplist

and set controlling race in shiplist.sst for monsters accordingly i.e. 0x24 +0-9. This however is not checked and not supported by UE yet, and it is not set in shiplist.sst for any of the mods. The race ID of the ship types is always 0x24 = BORG. Therefore I fear the event checks will also work for...

Re: Shipname Appendix Fix & Adding new name groups

Re: New installer Beta available 11-20-23

one other thing I noticed, but not a priority in saved game editing. In Systems it currently has check box for system bonus "Dilithium" maybe add a dropdown box for new bonus types? Any map editing requires updating the bitmask (planets, sun, atmospheres, adjacent anomalies), albeit the B...

Re: Game crashes after accepting membership offers

Hi Martok, I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear thunderchero fixed the issue in UM5.5, but note there is still an unknown, rare condition for the problem in vanilla. Next time I encounter it, I'll run some code tests. :wink: Plus there is still a sporadic fault with failed first contact, when ent...

Re: New installer Beta available 11-20-23

trek.exe cannot support ship, station, or monster IDs larger than byte, so UE should not allow this and issue a warning (IIRC thunderchero was shocked UE supported this, when analysing shiplist mess-ups by noobs). Good suggestion, I'll add a warning. :up: Even the max byte ID FF might be problemati...
