Birth of the Federation

Right, one last problem guys, please help. And dont forget I am thick so speak to me as if I was a child, lol. Done everything I said above and did a DX port test on warzone and they all passed. Now I thought I would double check and some ports failed. I tried 5 tests and different ports pass or fai...

chestermike, warzone won't work unloess port test is functioning... did you asign unique ip to your computer? edit; https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=43 Right, thanks for the tips mate first off. I assigned a static ip address to my ...

Done all that stuff you said, although the directx port test does not seem to want to work. Anyone up for that multiplayer game now?

Just finished my first game on this mod, got galactic domination with the federation after 271 turns. It was a real challenge at the start of the game but from turn 200 onwards I had reached tech level 10 and I started trying to destroy the other empires outposts, now it went easy as a load of romul...

Hi folks, Now I'm sure you all know of the old BotF Diplomacy problem, that being that you can't have any treaties higher than a non-aggression pact with other Empires because if you do, then you'll never be able to establish relations with minor races in the other Empire. So I was thinking - would...

Has anyone here played Sins of a solar empire yet? It's similiar in some ways to BOTF, but doesn't involve as much micromanagement as BOTF does But the fleet battles are awesome! (It's real time, as opposed to per turn) Someone brought out a mod for it which replaces the standard ships with Star tr...

Truth be told, I'm happy with the races as they are. I wanted a balance of the races that were already in game, and a few extras from ENT/TOS eras. It was also largely governed by what ships were available for use. The problem with the Xenkethi is that apart from the fact it was mentioned they were...

You've found them all except the Tholians Chestermike ;) As for the solution for the Ferengi ship files, It'll be sorted out in the next update. I'm not 100% if this was the problem or not but I can't imagine it helping matters. Hello again mate. Would it be possible (or in your ethos of the game) ...

For all of you genious people who write mods for BOTF, is it possible to have more than 5 major races? I personally am loving the new larger galaxies mod and think the next natural step is to have 7 or 8 major powers to battle.

Very good read, excellent piece of writing. Responding to your last post, I liken the Q to the Ancients in Stargate, they are beings made of energy having evolved from biological life forms who are more or less untouchable by our technology. I personally think of what we have seen, the Q have the po...

Now u said it, found the tholians too. Great mod mate.

I *Think* I've solved the problem you were having the other day Chestermike. I was going through various files with UE yesterday while modding and I chanced across the fact that somehow along the line all the modified gifs for all the ferengi ships had gone walkabouts. This in turn meaning the game...

Just had a second crash, 4 cardassian ships vs 1 federation troop transport. On the second turn I pressed retreat and it crashed when I pressed continue. Couple of little points mate, species 8472,s bioship turned up and attacked one of my outposts, but the game read the ship in the battle as a husn...

Well, I've checked every single minor race ship as well as the files for the Outpost, NX class and Constellation. All the graphics files check out fine as do the textures. By the sounds of things it looks like a phasers issue with one of the ships. I can rule out the Constellation and the outpost a...

blast.... thanks for sharing that Chestermike. It looks like it may well be the Connie again. Started again and in turn 95 with the federation on large irregular galaxy, no problems so far. This game is absolute class mate, cant believe how long its taking but thats half the reason I am playing it ...
