Birth of the Federation

Okay, so what is the correct install order if I want to run ECML with MPR++ in 1080? Vanilla, All in One 1.0 or 2.0, MPR++, 1080 patch, then ECM 4.0 MPR++ patch?

Thunder, thank you for the care. And thank you for sharing the links. So, as far as 3.0.1 c is concerned, there will be no way to run it with the All in One install? Is the 1.02 English_German patch gone? I think I used to use that for many older mods as it was the most stable. MPR ++ should work wi...

In a catastrophic accident, I erased all of my saved files for everything including BOTF on my HDD. All my hard work of last 5 years is gone. I wasn't able to recover them as the data was corrupted. Could anyone help me get up and running again with ECML and UDM? I have the MPR++ 2.6c demo installer...

What's NBU? Do the Feds have negative morale for bombing? In my ECM, I just give the Feds +1 morale for bombing. The fact that they got negative moral in Vanilla was dumb anyway. We saw many Starfleet officers, Sisko in particular, sacrifice their own self-respect for the good of the Federation. The...

I sent a PM but I am not sure it went through. In the meantime, I downloaded a copy of the All in One installer and made a backup of my current ECML files including trek.exe., stbof.res, the base_phaser.png you uploaded, and Hobmappings.xml which I edited so I could use ships like the Galaxy-X.

From the looks of it, 1920x1080 wouldn't work since I've got a 1600x900 laptop screen. Perhaps 1366x768 would be better? If there's a problem with ECML, how come it supports UDML?

what is your desktop resolution? it looks like image above was re-sized? 1600x900. Game window was resized as far as I wanted it to go vertically without going over the taskbar. what resolution do you want? 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1366 x 768 or 1920 x 1080 1920x1080 or whatever is best for my Laptop ...

to change required command ship present it is a simple code change.

Thanks again! I changed it in HxD with the offset you gave me, and I remembered how to do it from the last time you explained it. I done ya proud.

Yep, I'm using 3.0 since it doesn't have large version. Will 4.0 be updated to have it? Where is the QD patch?

The Klingon AI has a habit of throwing ships at me. I think they have the population maintenance to do it, so they just build gobs of ships. I think they have the population maintenance to do it. If the Klingons are seeded far from you, they can be a real threat if left alone.

I don't know. That was the next question I was going to ask in support. As you know, I am using MPR++ 0.2.6. The dxwnd folders are there, but I am not sure it's being used. The game is being run in windows mode. I can only stretch the window to a certain point, then it will stretch beyond (under) my...

A reasonable suggestion. Trying to remember if I already did though. I will probably reinstall later this week as it takes a bit of time. It's true that the animations wouldn't render if too close or at a certain angle with non-minor ships. But BOTF has always been like that. I can just adjust the c...

Ok, I did more testing. Had to find a minor (Vulcans) race, then build a ship weak enough so they wouldn't retreat. I built a Fed Science (Oberth) II and entered tactical combat. I could still hear the Vulcan Ship firing phasers and torpedoes, but couldn't hear them. In this case, I am going to assu...

Excellent. Thank you Thunder. After swapping pngs and updating HobMappings.xml, the Feds have orange phasers without having to make changes to the hob textures. However, I am still using HPhotons for the Ferengi. I also need to start another game and play long enough to see if it fixed the issue wit...

Playing ECML now. It's turn 366, and it's been a long, brutal battle. I was facing a war on three fronts with the Federation, Romulans and the Klingons. The Romulans were to my South and had over 100 ships in their fleet. I finally conquered the Romulus system which took the Romulans out of action. ...
