Birth of the Federation

the bug is still active, tested it with Vanilla and ECM.
callahan omitted an essential part in his explanation, you have to hold the mouse click when clicking on the own ship and than moving over other ships.

Also sometimes, when re-loading savegames, it seems to destabilize BotF w.r.t. map-range of ships.
So it could turn out as a double-edged feature.

can anybody report/confirm any kind of experience with this possible bug of the targeting feature?

had my first crash this morning. :sad: it was on test version of main multi installer w/hob patch but since it shares same files I am sure same error would happen on ECM. good news is I was able to track it down to the klingon starbase and should be posting replacement link asap after some more tes...

ah ok,
didn't noticed that, cause for single bytes it doesn't matter if i use the calculator or the converter.
you're right, so my post is obsolete.

can't follow your conversions.
i used the calculator within UE to convert the values.
and cause all the further given "number of bytes" values in other patches were also easy to convert with UE, i assumed that must be a typo.

there is a bug in the german version with the popup windows you get when you finish a tech level. normally you see the techfield description and below that desc. a short note (Allows:) showing what new stuff can be build now. but in the german version of the game, several popup windows show only a s...

Well, I've tested them again, and they're NOT used as minimum values. i've also done several tests with the subroutine at position 4B2350 and after all it really seems to be a minimum value for the number of minor races placed at game start on the map. with both subroutines (sub_4B2350 & sub_4B...

some clarification: -the own home system can rebel -> but in this special case it is a sort of random event for low morale, happens rarely or most times not at all (SCT has already addressed that kind of problem: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?f=229&t=1493) -subje...

@rxz1000 if you want to add a building exclusive buildable at specific minor systems: In UE -> Buildings -> Building Stats -> copy a minor building itself to get all necessary settings at once or (if you don't want to extend the number of buildings in your mod) change a building of your choice and s...

The "Eliminate Empire" morale bonus (default 50) is also used as start morale penalty for conquered home systems:

the penalty effects only a last held home system that's conquered and also any other system that's a last held and than conquered -> means empire elimination.

some info, if not already mentioned anywhere:
In UE at Races -> Race Info -> the part 'Home system morale when ruled by:' effects also the colonies of the major empires.
