check your pm, sent you a link and welcome btw

If there was one game that really got me soaked up, it is BotF. And even after all these years I still feel related to this game as well as to this community. And I'm sure this counts for many of us. For keeping the game and this site alive and the many participation up to the current date I thank a...

amazing to see how the looks of the forum has changed
the earliest I remember is from 2004, but I must have viewed at least the one before as well.

I am not sure what "sahf" is? an asm instruction to load the EFLAGS register: https://x86.puri.sm/html/file_module_x86_id_284.html https://www.aldeid.com/wiki/X86-assembly/Instructions/sahf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAGS_register By my first thought, those flags might be used to proceed on an ...

sure, sent you the link

Aber gern.

Given we know the interface, I'm sure it can be changed. QuasarDonkey already prooved it can be changed. But it'll be some work with unknown outcome. From what I have read SmartHeap often was used for debugging the memory usage to e.g. figure memory leaks, but it doesn't fix them by itself. So likel...

The only issue I keep having is the need to run the game as admin My first thought was to change the install path to c:\botf, but I see you already did so. Older games like BotF often write to the application folder, but since Win7 I think programs without admin rights are restricted to write to th...

when there is a "conflict" it either is hex overlapping or it is that the circular buffer is too small or limited some other way from what I can guess, so possibly a large map conflict

Hi R_Astori! Sent you the link again. HF

Cardassian Romulan Federation Klingons Ferengi Thinking of bio-tech, in the alternate universe I guess this would rather mean research in biological weapons, so I agree on the Cardassians. They are further strictly organized utilizing the people and are focused on productivity while not caring for n...

Watching the memory usage on large maps in later turns with lots of ai ships around should bring more light to it. Either it sticks to some limit or correlates with the map and the fleet size. The map info btw already is in memory. It must be in memory for being rendered and it must be in memory giv...

I guess there is some other limit in code then that is checked during ai calculation or generally prior to memory allocation to not exceed the *assumed* memory limit. On the other hand I can't remember ever having checked what memory botf actually consumes.
