Birth of the Federation

I don't get this part. You mean textures used by the removed B/C HOB files? In ECM and AIO-vanilla same the as A HOB? b/c.gif when removed (no longer used) could be removed from texture.lst and palette.lst updated. But this is not required for testing just clean up work. :wink: And before anyone wa...

Just check some UDM models like cs_a.hob and you find it has a TextureSetSize of 3 for three different textures being used to add more detail. :wink: OK never mind I was looking at vanilla models. but that is really not named correctly, :???: example; vanilla models = 1 (3 textures with same mappin...

I might test it later but you know why I asked,
but I already know max texture size (512 x 512) is controlled by mpr files.

Think I can change to allow multi-hob editing in UE. That should reduce work greatly. Thanks for the offer, but hob editing will be smallest part of the project. :wink: removal of no longer needed files and corrections of texture/palette will be worst part of project. any way we need testing first....

Added hero ships for Federation Nx Class Enterprise Enterprise A and Enterprise A Refit Enterprise B Enterprise C Enterprise D Enterprise E Voyager Defiant will each race have 9 hero ships? shiplist is limited to 256 (0 - 255) hero patch could be edited but set up for 5 one per start level or 5 upg...

Just a question

in hob editing I see a value for "texturesetsize"

location in hob?
and any other info on value? values seen 0, 1, 2

test change above b, c still used in combat From where does it get the file names? Are the B/C HOB files somehow referenced in the A HOB? I think I see it: 00531CA4 add bl, 61h -> 'a' + 1/2 for b/c try -> mov bl, 61h EDIT: That a,b,c crap is hard coded in multiple loop counters. :mad: But I hope th...

above changes also force a.hob/a.gif in tech screen. Due to "lod levels" in HOB file or my suggestions? Due to changing hob file "total texture set" = 3 (3 lod textures a,b,c) change to -> 1 (hob would only use "a" texture) after this testing, It looks as if primary is...

Just to be clear. Your above 'Vanilla Evade/Retreat Crash fix' disables ANY usage of B/C HOB files in BotF (trek.exe, Falcon and MPR+), No, b, c hob is still being used in combat. as my video shows it still switches 9 time right now (even with current ECM models), 3 times for each hob. Just uses sa...

So we are nearing the "end times" soon. How are we feeling these days? AS I said before there are no plans on shutting down, But I will say it again Good to see you are back around I guess life is starting to settle down with your new child? Did those files I sent help any? any Galaxy mod...

I did a couple tests test1 I did a test with vanilla a,b,c hob unedited A hob, A gif AA.jpg A hob, b gif AB.jpg a hob, c gif AC.jpg b hob (no texture used) b.jpg c hob (no texture used) yes that dot in the circle is c hob (stars move it did not) c.jpg test 2 hobs as in current installer version; a.h...

Hi Everyone, in the test version of UE, it now has some editable hob info this made me wonder if additional editing of vanilla hob might help even more? what I am looking at is this the t02 hob, while it is a billboard look at "lod levels" settings level.jpg I think this controls texture s...

Most likely yes, but without further fixture I think you will have to add another 130 ships this case.

I am done... (washing hands now)
