Birth of the Federation

Yes I use that wiki religiously now, and perhaps the one in the UE topic more, but still dont really understand a few things (perhaps they are not explained in deatails) I believe what you are referring to is this where 0x20 = the Acamarians. Offset 0x0020 = known races (bitwise XOR with 0x01 = card...

say hello to Nor Class Stations in Bajor and Cardassia :mrgreen: Sorry to spoil the fun, but there is still much work to do. There is many hardcoded checks for EDO in bitmasks and special pointer for EDO alienInfo entry to check relationship of others to the EDO in combat. One of my fixes even adds...

RIP and thanks to Gary Graham for that excellent character

Nice images as well

one more to add, just got this today not sure but playing the Feds and clicking on second tech entry for Biotech caused this crash: ------------------------------------- ST:BOF Sun Jan 21 12:47:51 2024 Version Under Test: 72 File: ..\..\source\ui\techscrn\tscnlink.c, Line: 536, _linkInfo.total <= MA...

I had some follow up questions for the AI, I was highly curious about the theoretical aspects of negative energy density and mass and it gave some nice explanations :) Hello AI, we were talking yesterday about wormholes and warp drives, do you remember? We spoke about the negative energy required to...

I had a very interesting chat with AI today. Asked it a few questions about FTL travel and the viability and such. Got into some really technical stuff with it, or at least tried to. Some interesting things it had to say. I won't post it all, but here are some of the good stuffs: 1. But many of Eins...

So I was listening to the Dev Interview recently and when Bill talked about the memory leak a little bit, I got to thinking. From what he said, it leaks into the operating system. This happens with other games as well, particularly older ones, and the reasoning was that the computer's own uptime cre...

Some new crash logs to report. Going to have to clear out my crash.log soon, its 66kb since Sept 12's first entry until today :lol: 1. ------------------------------------- ST:BOF Mon Jan 15 17:21:35 2024 Version Under Test: 72 File: ..\..\source\ai\aimonstr.c, Line: 77, monsterShip != NULL Initiali...

One of our members here Jean NY Guard did a fantastic interview with those two BotF developers. I enjoyed every minute of it, and just had another listen and enjoyed it just as much. I am very glad they are glad to know BotF still has active community of players and people interested in sequels.

Yes, and this unique special attack could be a nice template for an explosion and/or self destruction feature (600 damage reduced by distance IIRC). A very interesting thought which never crossed my mind. It could replace Ram, and be coded so the shield must be down first to damage hulls. I never l...

Yes, spin and the shockwave. This was the first time I have ever seen it in action. Against cloaked ships only? Maybe that's why, because I usually played Feds. I don't recall attacking it as Roms. This makes it the only ship with a non phaser/torpedo weapon, yes?

Please report any bugs in GALM 0.4.0 here and I will address them as I can get to them. Thank you :up: Wadi are attacking one of my assimilated systems, but the popup is showing that I am attacking my own system. It is (the popup) probably cmp to population raceID or system owner raceID for display ...

I came across this little gem on Discord the other day. SCT I was wondering; is this legitimate, or some kind of trick? In all my years I have never seen the Gomtuu with this effect. Could it be a 1v1 case specifically? Wondering if you have any clues... pretty neat trick if it's a trick https://www...

Here is a patch that will disable a human player's ability to liberate a subjugated minor while playing as Borg. The patch completely bypasses the "Do you wish to liberate (oppressed) from (oppressor name) rule?" popup by comparing the GI_252_b_player_empire in edx to 02 before comparing t...
