Birth of the Federation

but IMHO it's highly unlikely that the values are used for or against unrest. I trust you carefully analysed the code, but my point was that sometimes BotF has some hard to see pointer computations and does weird stuff. Therefore best give it a test someone. If then no effects raise up, I will put ...

Just for the record, in the shiplist topic you said removing custom checks and depending on other code locations' limits/values is bad coding style.... :razz: When the limit is known, while(true) { } loops are considered bad coding style, because programmers often fail to properly check termination...

I thought it automatically displays the newest code you are working on if I start from the main page: https://gitlab.com/stbotf/ultimate-editor No, what is displayed is the main branch where all developers of the project merge their development once a feature is complete and reviewed by DCER. Usual...

Hi Flocke, I have a hard time understanding UE edifice.bst code: https://gitlab.com/stbotf/ultimate-editor/-/blob/7c1a64561e73d42e514056dba80e27f47a411662/source/ue/edit/res/stbof/bst/Edifice.java You went a bit deep into history commits. :lol: Best look at latest version in improve_shipgfx_export ...

I wanted to be done early last year. And what did I get? New stuff to fix every time I'm getting close to release.

In this case Flocke meant the modified code sequence is unchanged, but relocaded in the 'minor ships' patch. I didn't look into it but yes. But was it request to also add in minor ship build patch? If so, a better patch would be to restore code location so the patches become independent. But again,...

Flocke will not be, it throws exception Then he can advice where to free up 7 bytes for the new Hero ship switch (near the outpost/starbase checks) to avoid UE conflicts. I optimized loading shiplist.sst entry and cmp switches for this. I had a look and I'm not excited. Already now this patch is a ...

I did noticed the in ship stats the "Function" is no longer using lexicons That's not correct. It now matches the ingame lexicon values found in the ship database. I updated it when during testing of the Lexicon mappings I found that UE messed values of mutliple categories. See https://gi...

popup was not confusing at all, just without some type of change game will crash Confusing myself at least. :lol: (some may be tech ship range?) before I even looked at changes that was what I expected Understood, but great that you posted it, so I don't have to search forum to fix that one, too. (...

Commits; "SMHelper: fix ship preview image name" When you reference commits, best name the commit SHA number: 6481f35d87f520664621bdf890bb9ce900c904b2 Or write the complete perma link: https://gitlab.com/stbotf/ultimate-editor/-/commit/6481f35d87f520664621bdf890bb9ce900c904b2 But yes, the...

one other thing I noticed, but not a priority in saved game editing. In Systems it currently has check box for system bonus "Dilithium" maybe add a dropdown box for new bonus types? I opted to replace the selection edit hint and added icons and a new selection context menu. Didn't want to...

Might be one of the HOB model LOD distance values

Most confusing now is when the sort order of some entries changes. In some cases it must be changed, e.g. when some ship owner race got changed. But there are also times where it's automatically sorted for simpler hex editing lookup. Next I'll add another two cleanup options to restore loaded entry...

What I'm not so happy with is that the nacelle ends still look a little bulky. To my personal impression, I think they need to be a little more rounded. not sure if it was image angle but to me nacelles look very round. lol It might be my cubic programmer eyes, but to me the TV version look much mo...

Problem will be it is based on Stellaris. I very much doubt Paradox is willing to hand over the source code.
