Birth of the Federation

I've got this exact same problem - but it isn't for BOTF. It happens when I try to install or play my Pharaoh game and Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile expansion pack. Sometimes when it works, I get an error message about FT_Thunk being missing. I used to be able to fix it by stealing a file off my old ...

Wikis are definitely a useful thing to have, but they're also hard to maintain. We've got wiki's for all our BOTF2 projects, but most of them are incomplete or simply blank pages. :oops: One idea may be to get someone to help you. If you could appoint someone that you trust to sort out the wiki's fo...

Hi CaptainNet, i've got some more goodies for you. We've finally managed to get out Sharepoint site back up and running after several months without a fully-working (And backed-up) file depository. We've been busy reuploading files to the site ever since we got it back. As long as you credit the cre...

Army40, your population concerns are concerns that I also hold myself, but unfortunately there is no way to easily fix it - at least not yet. The game works out populations based on a complex formula - I believe BOTF just used predefined values. The Supremacy formula takes into account the size of t...

That email address is the only one i've ever had for Dafedz, so it's not that new.

I've got him as a contact on MSN so i'll give him a nudge th enext time I see him for you. A PM would probably be the best bet though.

JeanLucPicard1, if you're looking at the Supremacy website, then don't bother looking at it. That website is maintained by JeanNYGUARD, not by Mike, and Jean isn't really doing a very good job of it. Mike releases updates incrementally; sometimes several times a week, sometimes once a month, dependi...

Since I see you've accepted our offer of help and are working on the race descriptions, allow me to provide you with some content you might find useful. Myself and Dafedz have been working on a database of info for BOTF2 for almost three years now, and this database includes race descriptions, among...

Hi CaptainNet, i'm Matress_of_evil - i'm one of the admin for the BOTF2 project over on star-trek-games.com. I don't visit these forums anywhere near as much as I used to, and only found out about your project because Jigalypuff posted a news item on our site portal. :oops: As one of the forum admin...

BOTF is listed on that site TWICE - both with about 50 votes each. And you have to create an account to vote.

I'm a random redshirt. Hiding in the background, in the perfect Tal'Shiar agent.

While we haven't got combat in the game yet (But we do have a demo of combat as a completely separate program), you might enjoy playing Star Trek: Supremacy. Supremacy is a fan-made successor for Birth of the Federation, so it's being made by the community and will be completely free to download whe...

The map is from the Star Trek Star Charts, liambauckham. It's a book of maps with tons of useful info on key planets etc. Some people have pointed out "mistakes" etc but it's the first proper attempt to make a proper working map. The map you see is the overall center of the Galaxy one, but...

I find 4shared to be a very slow and glitchy site though. Mediafire is blindingly fast compared to 4shared. I've had downloads over 600kb/s from Mediafire, but have never gotten over 80kb/s with 4shared - and that's when 4shared actually lets me download the files in the first place. I've never had ...

You have to sabotage another Empire using your intel, Bazzel. Stealing ships is a rare treat that your intel officers manage every once in a while. The more intel you set against the enemy, the greater the chance of stealing one or more of their ships.

The easiest way to host images is to use a free imagehosting website such as Imageshack. All you have to do is upload your image, and the site will then give you a series of different web links to put into your message. The different web links are for different purposes; you only actually need one o...
