QD created a tool some time ago, but don't know if his spreadsheet would work or not. "Tool for editing and importing the ship list to stbof.res" https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=37706#p37706 Nice!! Looks like there went quite some work into the .xlsm sprea...

just a side note it looks like you are testing on mirror universe mod. (uncivil wars might be better for testing?) MUM has issues with UE with main structures, but should not cause crash that I know of though. what happens is when UE reads main structures it wants to auto adjust the upgrade table. ...

So I did get some time to start looking into the Edifice program. I have been able to update UE to read the record correctly, and load the buildings. I still need to verify it loaded them all, but it does appear to be all there. https://i.imgur.com/F8fXIJD.png It does read the tech level correctly a...

@floke I received an email notification when thunderchero requested to join up. you didn't get this I'm assuming? that seems like a broken feature in gitlab....

I am having a new problem with Ultimate Editor. Every time I go to the slot for the Galaxy Command Cruiser II, the ship list in the left hand pane will disappear. I tried deleting UE then extracting a new copy but it didn't help. UE_Problem.PNG This will be fixed in the next release of Ultimate Edi...

However entering some numbers in some other menus I found a casting error that might be by my changes. But I will check on this another day. ue_casting_error.jpg From further testing, debugging and code investigation, this bug was limited to MaxPopOrBonGUI. In the UE log the error reads like this: ...

Hi Lathon, this will be a tough one QD never really post detailed info. here is release of EdificePatcher and source code EdificePatcher-130122-w32.zip EdificePatcher-130122.tar.gz here is edifice.bst with and without patch. (from mirror universe mod) edifice.zip these files have completely differe...

nice work, if you want one a little more challenging you could look at fixing extending shipname.bin UE issue. this was started by Dcer but never completed https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=50935#p50935 one other project would be to add the EdificePatcher UE would nee...

After merging in your changes to my local, whenever I make any kind of save (even unrelated to my changes) I am getting the below error when I try to reopen stbof.res file Copying over the temp file should be fixed now. When I cleaned up that code, I basically missed to close the target file prior ...

248 naming groups ... offers ALOT of space for namings! :) You could it even limit to 128 groups in UE to have a smaller and cleaner header. Given the BotF limit of 255 ships in shiplist.sst (including monster, upgrades and no-name groups) no mod should ever reach this. One last piece of advice, I'...

After merging in your changes to my local, whenever I make any kind of save (even unrelated to my changes) I am getting the below error when I try to reopen stbof.res file I just gave it a try with my own build and changed some building stats, saved, closed and reopened stbof.res and all was fine, ...

Floke,

Another question comes to mind is if we want UE to enable the patch into shipbin.dat (inside Trek.exe). Currently that feature is not working. If i use QD patcher to enable the patch, UE will work correctly. I can change the message to state to run the patcher first before adding new name groups, or...

So I have implemented the fix to save more than 62 name groups :grin: . I just misunderstood at first what the ask was (it's been almost a decade since I've messed around with BOTF code) However, I did find a little bug when this is running in game. For name group 62 (a newly added name group), it w...
