Birth of the Federation

I'm having some issues with the buildings in UDML, especially with the scanners. I want to use the original Covert Sensor Array for the Cardassians (+6 scan range).

UDML has the Covert Sensor Array setup as an intel building, so I gave it the original scanner properties, however, I can't get it so I can upgrade in the build que.

So, I thought I would use the Deep Space Array for the Cardassians instead, but I can't upgrade to that either.

Would someone be willing to go through my stbof.res and see if they can't find the problem? I know the file is a bit large, but it shouldn't take too long to download on fast connections.

Here's the link:

stbof.res

Thank you

scanners are the hardest buildings to edit. They must be set in over 3 places for correct operation.

So I gathered. Now they went from some working to none working at all .

anything can be fix, It will just take a lot more editing on your part.

scanner rules;

you can have a max of 3 shared scanner levels with a special one for cards.

I am not sure if UE sets trek.exe building number of scanners or if it even has a location to set. (it has been over 2 years since I have edited them)

upgrading is main problem and each must be checked for proper assignment in;

building/building stats set scanners to race/build-able by/type of building/energy ect

AI/AI building requirements (set all edited buildings to new stats)

starting conditions/starting buildings (for each race and building used at correct level and remove from races that should no longer have them)

starting conditions/starting technology (auto set all when all building are set correctly) this is last step.

good luck

Checking starting techs and starting buildings is always standard among my procedures. In this case, however, I can't even remove buildings that don't belong in a specific civilization level such as the listening post etc. That's why I asked if someone could look at the file because the stbof.res for UDM III came with this issue, and it seems to be beyond a simple editing fix in UE.

Best thing you can do with scanners is probably set them to Group > Other (not Group > Scanners), and set their upgrades accordingly, This has not given me any problems from personal experience, but neither has Windows 7 and BotF.. just to say, every system vs BotF seems to be different.

Upgrades work for me when Group is set to Other, and starting buildings/starting technology is arranged appropriately. Also, silly note: make sure your have building to upgrade to
