Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

Nice one, Son! :up: a few erroneous ones (causing bugs, e.g. this one https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=33859#p33859 ) have been removed. Note the main patch should be OK, the issue is just with two options for minor race special structures! Many thanks SCT, I did ind...

Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

Greetings fellow BoTFers. UM5 is being updated and is coming soon. A great deal of balance work and enhancements have been performed, worthy of a new release. Several new error correction patches have been applied, and a few erroneous ones (causing bugs, e.g. this one https://www.armadafleetcommand....

Re: Intel

Thanks SCT for the quick response! I don't have the skills/tools to do anything with the above, but can do hex and maybe write a patch. Is there anything I can look at/change in trek.exe or Intel.bin?

Re: Intel

Any tips on what to do if you want to change the success chance of the AI blaming you for its sabotage attacks against another empire? (Who me? I protest my innocence!) The Roms didn't fall for Sisko's ploy. Remember Vreenak crying out "It's a fake!" ? I don't think the success rate of thi...

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v2.5 1024 (Updated 15/2/16)

Thanks Thunder. Got time on my hands at the moment - haven't we all - and playing some test games. There are a few patches I've added which have come up from recent developments, for instance forcing the AI to terraform all planets (https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?f=22...

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v2.5 1024 (Updated 15/2/16)

Hi, I downloaded the save game and played the turn. I crashed too, but that wasn't a surprise. The number of ships engaged in the battle was I think ~630. The game took one look at that and said nah. Unfortunately it can't handle that number of ships, and a crash was expected. I played the turn on a...

Adding a New Planet-Type (workaround)

This might be considered just a small enhancement to game-play, but it's worth sharing here. The current planet-types are, as we know: 0 - Arctic 1 - Barren 2 - Desert 3 - Gas Giant 4 - Jungle 5 - Oceanic 6 - Terran 7 - Volcanic Beforehand, the only way to add a new-class was to replace one of these...

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v2.4 (Updated 23/5/15)

Tangentially-related: Why is it that some large M-class planets have such oddly low growth rates? I've seen a few Earth-like worlds with population caps of 300-330, but with growth rates of only 0.4-0.5 percent. :?: (Not that I'm complaining, I'm just honestly curious as to the reason for it.)

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v2.4 (Updated 23/5/15)

925 is pretty mental. That's the biggest I've ever seen to be honest. It really is just pure luck for that system to have three Large M-class planets like that - you might play a hundred games and not see it again. Although I have seen a good number of Minor race worlds ~700, and a handful of 800s. ...

You're welcome Dafedz . And thanks for the explanation! :) So do you have an ETA yet on when the v2.4 patch will be "ready for primetime"? (Hey, you knew I was gonna ask sooner or later! :P ) Just wondering when I can get my grubby little hands on it... :mrgreen: If you're that keen mate,...

Re: Ultimate Editor

Yes I have often wondered about shield level/penetration, as well beam/torp multipliers, but always chose to leave them at the default 0/1 levels, having no idea how they work or what they do.
