some questions

Post by **GulKelan** » Wed May 20, 2009 7:40 am

hi, first thx to all guys who made these fantastic mods. its really fun to play them. but have some questions

1. i read in some posts that the number of systems can be changed. but where exactly can i increase them? i searched the forum but didnt found it.
i want to increase the numbers of systems in UDM on a large map.

and when im going to play on hard, will the hard ai also colonize them at all?
cause i played a "normal" difficulty" game with cardis until 300 round until i saw that the enemys had 10 systems not more, and didnt colonized anymore.
will they colonize them more on hard?
and is there a possibility that the ai will deploy more outpost/starbases to conquer new terretory?

2. is there a way to change/delete a ship? for example the zeta class destroyer of the dominion?

i know its much... ^^

Hi GulKelan,

if you want to add planets to any system, take a look at viewtopic.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=76

to add planets to home system of majors, you have to make changes on three different submenus in UE. First you have to rename desired planets in galaxy/planets, then add those planets to home system of major races(can't remember the menu right now).

ÃƒÂ¤hm sry i have a really bad english, thats not what i want to have.

when the galaxy gernerates i want that there are more systems on a large irregal galaxy. for example 30 more systems to colonize... u know what i mean?

GulKelan.

The above link is to a thread that'll increase the number of stars in a galaxy. you'll need a hex editor to pull it off though.

As for the AI, well the AI's just stupid with these things, and unfortunately there's not too much we can do about it

np

but someone know how to delete ships? is this even possible?

I'm not sure on deleting ships, but they can be over written using the add/remove ship model function in Ultimate Editor.

Or you can look up the ship list, find where the ship you don't want in the game are listed and Click 'remove'.

The ship model's still floating about in the game files but you'll no longer see it in game.

you'd need to rermove the files and delete the shiplist entries -- this is best done with UE

and is it there also possible to change the settings that old ships dont get uptadet.

for example a warbird I to warbird II or miranda to norway? the ai should worked fine with this?
and how can i exactly do it with the editor, if its possible?
im a absolutly noob in these things...

Yes, there is an "upgrade for" button in the UE (one of the pics):

And here is base-theory to the subject:

NO, at least AI won't scrap/replace outdated ships with newer ones.

have someone already changed the settings for the federation, that they wont get update theyre ships for an singleplayer game? somethink like a exe which i can use if i want to play as federation? so that i have also mirandas in the game?
would be cool cause i dont get it with the editor. i need it for the ultimate dominion mod 3.0
