Birth of the Federation

hey folks

i just checked my cd and made the same findings as Flocke.
Same files missing (etutor.txt and gtutor.txt) and same entries in readme's.

It is a full install. I've already installed it, so i'am sure that 3.0.1.a_b is the newest one :) I think the "b" doens't represent the version number, as it is presend in 3.0.1_b and 3.0.1.a_b and it is separated by an underline and not by a point. It maybe stands for "binary", ...

indeed, now i created 3 times a new game without any crash. The 3 crashes in a row were maybe a coincidence

[EDIT]
The hint with the intro video fits
[/EDIT]

sorry for the bad news, but the new rintele.wdf seems to provoke a CTD when starting a new game as romulan.

another bug hunted down, great job

it seems to work when you don't make the first change
46118C add di, [eax+44h] // at 0x6058C change 66 to 90

but i think without this change this bugfix will only work till 65535. But this would be enough for 336 systems

henka, I do not think a total is kept in saved game (at least that I can find). I think the trek.exe calulates this from each systems morale. thunderchero Ah, then i have mistaken you, i'am sorry for that. I assumed that this bug is located in trek.exe, too. It would not make much sense to store su...

So, i calculated the total sum of morale values of all my systems after the mentioned steps. It is 32277 and so it is not surprising that the game didn't crash because it is 490 below the signed short maxvalue of 32767. Now lets estimate the extra total moral difference when colonizing 8 instead of ...

I did do a little more testing on your saved game. first lowered morale of all systems by declaring war on every major. after turning off (powered down) all structures. I took sol from 195 to 174. then colonized all systems in top left (I think 6-7 systems) next turn went thougn no problem. So it i...

but i do remember ships being set to a NEGATIVE (or otherwise invalid) display value after reaching a certain cost (around 30000something) I remembered this bug too, as i investigated this problem. I think the value was 32767 (2^15-1) like i think it is in this case. This is the maximal positiv val...

I'll check these findings. The tests which led me to the conclusion that this could be related to the sum of morale values was the following round 678: colonized Tribble round 679: crash when tryin to colonize round 680: crash when tryin to colonize round 681: crash when tryin to colonize round 682:...

I think this was the first time i played beyond 500 rounds. Take it as a compliment. It is your great mod which keeps me playing on and on and on :D In the meantime i will help me out with some morale lowering actions. As i'am a bit familiar with reverse engineering, i know what effort it is to trac...

i have uploaded a savegame under savegame for morale overflow bug.zip

Some days ago while playing UDM 3.0.1 with large maps, i experienced a crash (CTD) when the game processed the next turn. The crash log stated the following lines: Version Under Test: 72 File: ..\..\source\game\economy\morale.c, Line: 102, Illegal Morale value Initialize State: 31 Player Empire: 1 S...
