Birth of the Federation

When playing botf I choose normally the 1000H, not a bigger notebook with vista (oh no!) or the pc with the big resolution. Even under openSUSE (incredible fast when for manipulating the stbof.res file) it is not that much fun as with the eee... :D Ah, when using a linux system, take a game pad and ...

Hello,
is there a fix for the ship cost - which gets negative, if cost is set higher than 32767 or so credits?
I remember another topic where Gowron wrote about the building upgrade issue, but (when I am right), there was no edition for ship cost.

Thanx!

If it's of interest after all,

yes, you can give gas giants a number of population, and you gan give them energy bonus too, if you dare.
Yust use the UE and look for the max population menu and the planet boni menu (guess there both under Galaxy).

to come back to the problem with inserting files into stbof.res using the windows xp zip function: It seems that xp itself makes the most trouble. After some open/paste actions with edited files suddenly xp couldn't save the stbof.res any more -so it says. I pasted them a second time and then it wor...

I'd like to start a list of mods/ships/buildings which makes modds crash to desktop, as help for all who likes to do some modding on their own: shipyards (Werften): I've tried to have both the romulans and the klingons use the military shipyard and use the freed imperial shipyard for other purposes....

Hm, I think it doesn't makes any differences, if UE is open or closed.
I will check to make things sure and give you a further response.

Hi Chummers, @DCER: Just remember UE will reset the value if you save the file with it, so use WinRar or similar (but NOT WinZip) to add edifice.bst back to stbof.res once you're done. When I edit the files with UE and extract the modified files instead of saving the mods with UE and then open the e...

Thanks for your replays. I was hoping there's a way to get things fixed, but nehtertheless I have learned from your knownledge. Thanx ;-) @thunderchero: The invisible buildings are a pain, I'd experience the same probs as you. Maybe with the posting from DCER it is possible to get them fixed? I reme...

Hi thunderchero, I changed the starting conditions, the starting tech, the structures the minors can build - so no race tries to build the fabricators accidently. I deleted the "upgrading from" for the new buildings and so on (all with the ue, a wonderfull peace of soft, btw). I don't thin...

Hello to everyone around, I am new in this forum, but doing some modding on my one for some time. And I am facing a problem which I can't solve without help. To implement some new buildings I was freeing the romulans fabricators (that's the right word in english, isn't it?) and modified the files (u...
