Birth of the Federation

Danijel could use some extra help with texturing the ship models, so that he can have more free time to work on redoing the models.
Anyone up for the challenge, please let us know. The more help he gets, the faster it gets done.
Thanks!

There might be a bug with setting up trade routes from native colonies, probably caused by the first of the 2 following changes to how TRs work: - Non-native colonies (member, subjugated) will now not create any trade routes by default (based on population). Only Buildings with the +TradeRoutes bonu...

Added cursor4K.cur to the game. For now it only works before you Start a game (Main Menu and associated screens). Best approach for now is to make a backup of cursor.cur, and rename/make a copy of cursor4K.cur to cursor.cur (The cursor is hardcoded in Global.xaml) Cursor is located at \Resources\Cur...

Moving through a TWH now costs a lot of Deuterium. If there isn't enough Deuterium for a fleet to move using the TWH, it wll move normally - should probably add a warning dialog.

A new release has been uploaded to BB. Go get it!

We should use the current DiplomacyReport (in Civilizations.xml) of the Borg as their greeting text - meaning, copying it to the new tag - and replace it with a description of the Borg in the same vein as the rest of the DiplomacyReports for the other empires ("The Borg Collective is a ..."). This D...

- The UI sounds are extremely loud compared to the sound effects/music and there is no way to adjust its volume. In fact I have to turn my sound to literally 1 on the desktop to avoid getting my ears blasted by "Aye, sir!" Can you lower the volume please or provide a volume adjust for UI sounds? BT...

This one seems to work ok, but I haven't actually tested it in 4K.

I managed to get the game to switch cursors based on rez in the main menu and SP start screen. But when the game starts it defaults back to the small(er) one...

Please if possible use the file I posted, it'll save me some work. There's no rush. Take your time. I can make it to default to the DiplomacyReport text if the greeting text is not available. I'll probably release a new build on friday or so, but this can in the release after that, or attached here ...

I'm playing on a 4k 50 inch monitor. The game displays remarkably well in general, nice work. However, the cursor is so small I'm frequently finding it hard to find. Often the best way is to move it off onto another monitor so the default windows cursor appears, so I have a clue where it will be wh...

I'm wondering if it makes sense to have the Description of civs in the Encyclopedia - being that the Encyclopedia is in the *Science* Screen... And now we have *all* tech items be shown in the Encyclopedia, but only the civs you have contact with... We already have the DiplomacyReport text in the Di...

Ok, here's the most recent Civilizations.xml

Thanks!

Ok, go ahead then. Should we start a new thread for this, so that it's easier to trck progress, and/or coordinate things if other people want to help out too? There are 170+ minors after all ;) The number of minors will also be a problem for the voiceovers, we have 30 from BotF, but the remaining on...

Hey blotunga! That would be awesome! Do you think it could be integrated into Supremacy? Danijel is currently working on the 3D models, and he just completed them for all the major civs! He has done an amazing job! Some of those models are being tweaked as we found some issues, but it is looking gre...

Like this: <DiplomacyReport>"Hello, this is a test." The Zibalians are merchants who maintain a number of trade holdings across multiple sectors. But they are buyers rather than sellers, and some are thieves.</DiplomacyReport> :) Check the <Description> of empires in Races.xml , there are a few exam...
