:arrow: Establishing a defensive bonus for Strike Cruisers against OBs

The below modification reduces the firepower of the OBs against Strike Cruisers, but only for one OB per Strike Cruiser. So this specialised counter ability is limited if there are more active batteries than attacking ships (i.e. when approaching to the planet in order to bomb, whilst there are remaining OB shots).

The second statement (torpedo-multiplier) is each redundant for unmodded BotF, thus can be removed/replaced.


For example we could use unused parts of the plasma stats in shiplist.sst for the creation of ship-specific (& ship to ship combat independent) bombing resp. OB attacking abilities. This should be safe as long as we keep +0xB4 (plasma attNum) = 0. shiplist.sst at +0xBC (plasma attMul) I suggest we leave for a future use as pulse weapon graphic indicator.


Example: (change code for torpedo multiplier to ex-plasma attLev)

+0xB8 (ex-plasma attLev) -> position exactly 3 lines below the torpedo multiplier (+0x88)

The new value is at shiplist.sst +0xB8 (ex-plasma attLev) so we increase all values by 0x30:

468819 imul ebp, [esp+1A8h] -> +1D8h
-> at 0x67C1D change A8 -> to D8
468972 imul eax, [esp+2C8h] -> +2F8h
-> at 0x67D76 change C8 -> to F8
46899E imul edx, [esp+3E8h] -> +418h
-> at 0x67DA2 change E8 03 -> to 18 04

same for bombing damage: (other value/address optional)
467479 imul eax, [esp+1A8h] -> +1D8h
-> at 0x6687D change A8 -> to D8


From the counter-system point of view, perfect solution would be to use each a custom data-field in shiplist for OB-combat & an other for bombing (i.e. adapting each address of the first statement and removing the other two statements). But that's a considerable expenditure and one needs a mod manual, because there is no in-game display for these ship abilities.:(



The 'bombard system' morale event gets randomly prevented (not the worst, since it curbs exploiting). Removing the jmp statement at 46844F skips the random engine, but this will apply the morale effect even if all ships were destroyed by OBs (i.e. bombing task prevented): at 0x6784F change 75 22 to -> 90 90



Registers:

[esp+270h] = number of OBs
[esp+284h] = destroyed OBs
[esp+28Ch] = OB firepower
[esp+290h] = remaining OB-shots
[esp+294h] = OB HitPoints (reloaded from [esp+26Ch] for next OB)


Possible future projects:

-> prevent wastage of OB overflow damage (possible options):

- techlevel * OB shots (instead of * OB firepower) problem: target selection
- shots * firepower to [esp+28Ch] & check if lower 1 (instead of [esp+290h], 0)
- if ships destroyed store overflow damage & add to next OB shot

-> prevent the line-up of specific ship types as cheap 'OB blocker' (colony, scout, destroyer?)

-> building hitpoints:

Code: Select all

466EF9  mov   edx, 2  // construction tech
-> Sometimes the bombing task somehow gets stuck -why? (this starvation modification pays off in that cases).

so, on a practical point of view, defence capability of my systems will be increased if i research weapons first....

and that trick of determining tech level of empire (defence/pop) - well, that's brilliant...


EDIT:

Do I need to calculate the ground combat value as er Gowron brilliant notes or can I just go by the value displayed with arrow hover?
Spocks-cuddly-tribble wrote:Of course, you must calculate based on the "arrow hovered" ground combat value and the current pop.

But more than that, you do need precise background knowledge w.r.t. actual tech levels for every minor evolution level (for each race)!

OB Tech Level Bug Fix for Minor- & Rebel-Systems

Post by Spocks-cuddly-tribble »

Gowron wrote:minor races...might be at weapon tech level 0 and still have level 8 orbitals, maybe that's a mechanism that was built into the game to prevent their planetary defenses from being utterly useless at the start of the game.
BotF mistakenly tries to read tech levels for race ID 0x23 i.e. the OB strength of minor and rebel systems purely coincidental starts with 0 (so minors are very easy blitzkrieg targets) and/or later might be always at tech 8.

Ground Defense Fix for Minor & Rebel Systems

Post by Spocks-cuddly-tribble »

The following code fixes three bugs at a stroke:
  • % ground defense building bonuses broken for minor & rebel systems (thanks again to Tethys)
  • rebel system ground combat value always -1 bug (see note)
  • F1-map ground defense pop-up missing for rebel systems
Note: Like Gowron found out, the negative sign will change by reason of the squaring of ground combat values:

Shield Generator Phantom-power Fix

Due to a bug the shield generator ignores its power state (always up).

The patch also fixes the F1 map display and popup for system defenses i.e. SH is RED when down. :wink:

It's not a percentage, but a simple bit shift. So OB firepower for initial attack vs strike cruisers /2^1 = /2 = 50%.

Code: Select all

46868D    C1E8 01            SHR EAX,1  (OB firepower/2^1)
I used the three byte opcode variant so you can easy use /2^2 = /4 = 25% or /2^3 = /8 = 12,5%.

For a real percentage you need extra code using the FPU or workarounds like this calculation: viewtopic.php?p=17834#p17834

Also note the AI code needs to be adjusted accordingly: viewtopic.php?p=34120#p34120

Code: Select all

00479961     D1E2              SHL EDX,1 // ...double shields vs OBs (given the missing feature fix for strike cruisers)
00479963     90                NOP
Example for AI code 25% OB firepower i.e. strike cruiser shields *4:

Code: Select all

C1E2 02        SHL EDX,2
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

Thanks for clearing that up! I think a bit shift 2^3 to reduce damage (by 12.5%) suits well.

This is the patch file from ECM that brought me here I think

Code: Select all

NAME: Ships survive / Strike Cruiser defensive bonus & Orbital Battery fixes
AUTHOR: Spocks-cuddly-tribble
DESC: Ships survive with 0 HPs (fix)

Seems the BOF patcher didn't like my edited patch. :(

1/8 damage for OB initial attack vs strike cruisers. If attacking ships are outnumbered by OBs the second OB hit does full damage, as told in the quote!
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.
