BOTF Developer interview

I recently ran across this and gave it a listen, but am noticing it's 2 years old.

Re: Anyone experienced with the different mods and a high level summary of each one?

UDM is probably the most balanced, up to date mod, but like the above poster, I further mod it to eliminate the upgrades using the BotF patcher and a patch Thunderchero made to auto update structures. BoP is a great mod, but I tend to think of it as "older" and more suited for competitive ...

Star Ruler 2 open source

So I've been clicking around in Unity and one of the things it has turned up is the game called Star Ruler 2 going open source. It's 4x space strategy, if done a bit different than MoO or BotF, but is a very interesting game. Also, had we considered using Unity to "rebuild" BotF? It looks ...

Re: Are there any games like BOTF?

BotF was built from the concept of "Masters of Orion", aka MoO, or it's sequel, MoO2, I'm not sure which. So games built with that in mind, like Interstellar Space: Genesis or Stellaris (both found on Steam) are in the same vein of turn based galactic strategy games. List of space strategy...

Re: Question about the NO upgrades mod?

I had hoped to get some of these issues worked out before the next release so I'll do that,
Full reinstall of NBU, full reinstall of QD's patcher and patch files coming right up.

Re: Question about the NO upgrades mod?

time stamp is system created and does not represent if file is older or newer or out of date When I say "oldest patch" I mean the ORIGINAL production patch posted years ago that I have used many times. The one found here, posted in 2018. https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/vi...

Re: Question about the NO upgrades mod?

I hate I put you thru that excellent explanation of how the patcher works. You missed a point though... when you download the "patch" you have to put it in a folder for the patcher to find. I put the patches in the correct folder, and the drop down menu was directed to that folder, proper ...

Re: How to remove combat drone

Ok... in the end it wound up being easier to find the code with my hex editor that to write the patch file. That being said... I think I can test it and if it works, I'll write a patch file for it. *Update: Seems to be working fine on the first test... but that was only 60 or so systems explored. Wi...

Re: Question about the NO upgrades mod?

A follow up on my efforts, not success I am afraid. I deleted the production XX patch, the oldest one... and now the NEW patches will not show up in QD's patcher. I have deleted them and reinstalled them but they do not show up as installed or not. The game as it stands DOES NOT show any morale bonu...

Re: How to remove combat drone

Reading thru some of the discussion I noticed there is unfinished code to allow the combat drone to spawn on MULTIPLE systems! That plus your improved respawn would be a fun challenge together! How about if the Combat drone spawned as a minor and you had to eliminate/ diplomacy the "minor"...

How to remove combat drone

I cannot put into words how much I despise the combat drone/ aka the Minosians. I have tried turning off "random events" which covers MOST of the monster table, but time and time again I lose a valuable ship discovering them and I'm looking at a couple of remedies. A) editing the drone to ...

Re: Minor update to All in One will be in the works

On a side note, are there any other tests you'd like run on other mods? I've been thinking about exploring some of the ones I've read about but never played and would be glad to direct my time to answer a question.

Re: Question about the NO upgrades mod?

All 3 production patches showed installed upon opening QD's patcher.
Removing any one of them removes all 3, and installing any one of them installs all 3.

It's worth a Spock eyebrow lift.
