Birth of the Federation

I am guessing you are talking about a minor race able to terraform and have multiple systems.

Yes!

but adding something like this to AI code is close to impossible without source code to recompile.

And yes, I thought so...

But how to do the terraforming trick? I change the planet id to something else, make a graphic and link them? But what about Jupiter and cia? Any ideas? I dont want to copy UM5 content.

Tell me, its not possible, right? I bet it isnt...

I was thinking in making a small graphic of a small orbiting station to replace the original one once its "terraformed": the station is built.

Comments?

Have anyone ever thougth of making the small races being able to create theyr own pocket empire, being able to colonize one or two more worlds and you, the player, having to handle them? That would be an interesting addition to the game, if that is at all possible. I bet someone already had this ide...

Wow. This QD patcher is a genious thing! And I have to compliment you all coders here! You people know your game and do the real magic! Please feel deeply complimented! Wish I was so good lol! :D I have other questions but I feel I have to search the database or open a new thread else Ill change the...

Ok so I should be using the folder from the tools and these mods for up to date patches, if I got it right.

How exactly QD patcher do its magic? It hex edit the trek.exe file using the marked options?

What about the red flagged options in the patcher? Its a do it on your own risk thing?

Thunderchero, thanks a lot for your guidance! I have tried the patcher program and begun to look around and tried the ECM mod .exe and found that there are two patches, the very firsts, listed as red. Could this be the result of hex editing or just a conflict? And I noticed that ECM last update was ...

Interesting. Where do we get such a patch? Is there a patch databank page for downloading? That would be a lot of help for everyone.

So no matter how many times I fix it UE will mess it... How cool...
At this time it seems it will be easier not to mess with it or mess with it LAST, after I did everything else, but if I have to fix anything UE will mess with it again... Ouch.

Thanks, thunder!

Hellows peeps. Its been a long while since I messed with boft and yesterday I felt the urge to do it again and came back to my original project of using the spacedock rules from the startrek rpg to try it and see how the game behave. I was trying to mess a bit with the buildings just to see if I cou...

This is not easy to explain, Oh well... There we go... :grin: the slot list in the trek.exe has limited space and expanding the trek.exe is not currently possible. Then I have to ask this: I know that the file begins with a value that tells the processor the length of it, and obviously Im not an as...

Ok,

I experimented a bit and found out that if I rename one ship slot with alphanumeric chars one slot is created, if I use a number 2 slots are created. I suppose the rules for phasers and scale apply to those? And what more can be done and what are the limits?

Thanks, Thunder! But I've already checked all those and none of them explain how to expand the shiplist. Maybe Im not expressing myself right, English isnt my language. What Im trying to say is that I know how to include models in the ship list, what I dont know is how to expand the number of slots ...

Bump! Sorry for the rebump but the links are broken and Im having a hard time finding out how to increase the slots in the shiplist. I checked the post about it on the main list of how's to but its more like discussion about how to expand it and the many issues that were found in the process and not...

and welcome to the forum. as for permissions for models see this post. Most of the major creators have given pre-approval and good luck with your mod and have fun. I feel honored. Thanks a lot! :grin: Welcome Mr Sol! However, be aware that balancing ship values is very tricky with botf. You need to...
