Birth of the Federation

Some localization, customization and clean up work.

Finally cleaned up, and improved, the code for invasions and respective fallout. Needs testing.
Improved system assault code for the AI - next, to actually teach the AI to assault systems...

Troop Transports now cost Garrison to build.

Fixed the messy display in the envoy assignment button after an assignment - refresh hasn't been addressed yet though.

The Economy overview mode now shows resources and planet bonuses present in the colony (letters only, need to change to proper icons), and also current build project. The Task Forces tab in the Assets screen now also shows the rank of each ship. (posted a couple of pics on BitBucket) A few other twe...

The overview modes (Economic, Military) now work correctly.

When scrapping stations, the correct station is now scrapped. Still need to fix the scrap menu.

The Borg can now only build their race-specific Buildings (not universal ones) - which means they'll need a bunch of new Buildings for resources, etc.

The game no longer hangs when Special Events were set to Off and playing another civ.

Apparently I must have disabled agent spawning by accident... probably with the crash fix. Found the problem and fixed it. A few bells and whistles in the diplomacy screen, like the border of a civ's image is color-coded according to relationship, the civ's image is dimmed if it is eliminated, the ...

Apparently I must have disabled agent spawning by accident... probably with the crash fix. I'll look into it. I've increased initial resources for Early and Developed levels, so that building an outpost is not such a drag. I think I'll have to tweak weapon damage, it's way too high late game. I'll p...

In the next release, the Borg will have a base growth rate of zero. I'll add a Maturation Chamber building to add +1% GR (to act as the Immunology Centre). I'll need to block the universally available buildings from the Borg build list.

#271 - Invading 2 star systems in the same turn results in an exception.
(as a temporary workaround, the game only allows one system assault per turn - until this gets fixed)

This was finally fixed!

Hi CaptScarff, welcome to the forums!
Glad to see you're interested in helping out with the coding! I'll PM you about it.

Working on adding the new star textures Danijel made - will probably allow both the current and the new ones to be used, maybe by adding another option to the Settings window. Also working on this. It's still not working, the assign officer button is not doing anything and the image is a placeholder...

Fixed an issue with planet animation in 2+ assaults a turn.
A couple more tweaks to invasions.

Made double-clicking work in the Save Game and Load Game dialogs for the next release, which should help with issue 5. In the next release, CTL+S saves the game from the galaxy screen, which should help with issues 2 and 5. Changed this for the next release, to open the Save Game dialog instead of f...

That looks awesome!

Just noticed that the structures scrapped voice clip only plays for the Borg... that's due to the file names being wrong. Easy enough to fix, just go to :
\Resources\SoundFX\General\(civ)\
and rename the file
ScrapStructuresOrder.wav
to
StructuresScrapped.wav

Will fix that for the next release.
