You can probably get it to work using wine. It works great in linux, should work on a mac as well. But I never got multiplayer to work though.

Thanks, will do

I'm basing it on your ship packages, but them having a texture.lst file will probably be mandatory to make sure UE takes the right textures for the right hob files and a palette.lst file will be optional.

You need to take a look at this topic:

I'm hoping the next version of UE with new features (0.6.6) will make adding ships much easier, but until then you'll need to follow that guide.

Ok I was wrong, 0x4E698 gets called even when no cubes spawn. And it seems to be reading the empsInfo file. I'm not sure what this does anymore. Runs through successfully and no cubes appear. The fourth one (0x4F0E0) is reading from the lexicon.dic, specifically entry 115 which reads: "the Cala...

Good work finding those! The first two are definitely alien id checks. I'm looking at the one at 0x4E698 and the assembly code around it, I'm not sure what it does. I think I'll do some debugging to see what values it's loading and from where. In a called function 0x73 is compared to another value a...

Sorry to hear that, hope things work out

It's been reported to me that the upgrades get messed up when adding new ships. I've uploaded a fix for this - version 0.6.5b Tested on clean stbof.res, copied ships that don't upgrade from anything and those that do. Everything looked fine. If you still see wrong upgrades, they might be leftovers f...

good to hear let me know if you find any bugs

Hi,

it's converting the application path wrongly - there should be spaces instead of %20, I've uploaded 0.6.5a, let me know if it works now. If not I'll remove it. It's used for finding UE's help files, but those aren't critical.

Ok, I've found another alien id test. The value at 303045 ( 0x49FC5 ) needs to be changed to the first monster's id. I've done tests and didn't have any more crashes. I've uploaded a new version of UE which will set this value as well as others. Just add and remove a ship to make UE edit those value...

Version 0.6.5 is released . Most notable changes in this version: General: - support for html help files (external links are ignored) Stbof: - added option "Behave as if built by" to override ship combat behavior in ship stats - fixed translation bugs - planet ID duplications are now auto...

Hi, sorry was away for a while. Thanks for reporting the error, I must have mistyped when I changed those strings for translation purposes. There are a few more errors with such strings that I found, they'll be fixed with the next version. EDIT: ok, the save game bug is fixed, the problem with wrong...

i'll check what's wrong, until then you can try version 0.6.3 for editing saved games.

I haven't tried making a botf video, but looking at the video in my video player it says: Video Dimensions: 800 x 300 Codec: Cinepak video Pictures per second: 24 Audio Codec: Uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio Chanels: Stereo Sample speed: 22050 Hz If nothing else your dimensions and pictures per second...
