Birth of the Federation

Hello again, first I like to make clear that if I address members of our forum by using words like hero or great or something like that I do this with true respect and aknownlegde of the work they have done. Since no one can see my face, hear the sound of my voice and only has my (more or less) tran...

Hello, I had quite a lot of changes tested to create a mod on my own but every time AI behaves more or less like a sitting dog - no challenge at all. On round 100 my rating was sky high compared to all AI empires, no matter on which tech level I started. Lately I changed somee values and from now on...

If you want to play "normal" vanilla based installation, you just have to copy BOTF-Path with subdirectorie(s) on the drive you want to use and adjust settings in stbof.ini-file. I never had to import registry-settings expect when running under Linux with wine. Multi-installer is "ein...

Is it known where random events trigger code is located?

It would be an interesting alternative to have only home system starting with highest possible tech level and the other starting systems with lower tech level to simulate a step by step expanding imperium. The empires starting eras(range 0-4) for the default buildings on additional starting systems ...

Thanks guys for your help!

Lately I had my love playing a mp with me - successfully!

Had to switch off xp firewall, reboot and since then botf is running over lan - most of the time...

Hello, when using UE there is a third place, where one can change the name of the home planet in the home system - it's related to the race, where one can edit also other values. Don't know exactly where it is located, but you should take a look, maybe your problem is retated to this. But as stardus...

The quanten theory says that if a coin is flipped, as long as no one observe the result, it is not clear which side lands up and which down. The decision is made, when it is observed. That would mean that the past of our "normal" timeline is fixed by the moment it happened and the "Na...

You're right Flocke, adding dlls to BotF or expanding exe and adjusting the adresses are elegant ways to do this, but I guess most modders around are using UE and a hex editor to change things - even if a skilled programmed would view this as styleless hacking or so. And having a lot of people doing...

Hello, since nearly any major change to trek.exe needs more space for programming, which normally is not aviable, I think, seperating the part for game creation from trek.exe into another programm (or another version of trek.exe) is one good way to free up space for new coding. On the other hand thi...

Hello Deimos,

to eliminate any misunderstanding: I've observed this when I fought against the ferengi empire (most of the time as romulan empire). The ferengis had the dilithium bug (and maybe with some other games other races as well, but this I can't say for sure).

The problem with any mod is that if the mod supports the building of larger fleets gamespeed is slowed down.
That means, any mod with bigger galaxies, higher max pop, more money, cheaper ships and so on may slow down the game. Unfortunally this are changes most people like, I guess.

I experienced this definitly with ferengis (yeah!) - with other imperiums I am not that sure anymore.
