(Updated 9-26-16) Ultimate Dominion mod III 3.0.1ddb

[Tethys]

A problem yes.. a major one, no. And i would think it logical to believe that the modders do know about the problem.

[WriterNotViking]

I shall wait patiently, then, and hope for a fix. Thank you very much.

I will get as much as I can done before next update but it will not be completed for awhile. I hope by end of tournament.

No, you have not missed anything I should have stated, after signup and completion of next tournament.

But have had great progress in past few days so may be completed earlier.

I seem to be having a small issue, however. Phasers and disruptors and the like show up as plain grey, sometimes green lines, which seem too thick. Shield impacts are the same color and completely obscure the vessel being hit. Torpedoes show up fine, but they also generate grey shield impacts. I believe I downloaded the latest version available. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a known fix?

This depends, Does shields display like this?



If it displays as you discribe than it could be a video compatability problem.

Thanks! It seems you are right. I changed 3DFX to DIRECT3D in stbof.ini with no effect, but when I changed it to SOFTWARE the phasers and shield effects were fine.

This leaves me with slightly grainy 3d graphics, however... Might you have any idea how to resolve the compatibility issue? My video card is a GeForce 8500 GT. I'd really appreciate any pointers you can give me.

2 things

first just editing stbof.ini is not the best way. There are different dll files for each video mode. you need to reinstall everything with correct video mode.

next make sure your video card driver is up to date.

I updated my drivers and reinstalled the whole thing, and everything looks perfect now! Thank you very much, for your assistance and your great work on the mod itself.

Hi Everyone,

This will be my last preview of Dominion interface. It's all done now.

All 704 file.





















Mentat posted he hopes to be done by this weekend with his saves. So look for next update then.

Those look absolutely amazing... i am very impressed on how this has ended up!

I do have 1 question though: Can these be converted for use with the Cardassian GUI?

Perhaps renaming f*.wdf files to c*.wdf files would work? Or perhaps there is something more?

Other than changing prefix *f* to *c* of all tga files. Up to 50 or more images would need special attention. (text changes, changing/replacing images) Also 15 wdf files was edited to move things around. The wdf files should just be able to be renamed.

I have already done this before with UnCivil Wars moving complete Klingon interface to Ferengi. This just requires alot of testing of placement and adjustments.

Hello, long time no comment

Two questions (Loving the latest mod updates BTW).

First question: Can the "auto-upgrade" of ships be disabled? I ask this because it's strange to see a fleet of constitution class ships transform into excelsiors, or ambassadors into Galaxies. If you were able to "only" buy new ships from teh shipyard, but your old ones remained in active service, that'd be pretty cool.

Second Question: Hades 2.2 is installed with UDM 3, isnt it? I set the game to 3DFX, and on Windows 7, my 8800GTS is not displaying those known graphic foulups that we saw on vista and XP

Glad you are enjoying mod,

1. yes, but would need to be done manually with UE.

2. no, hades is no longer a part of mod. but when setting up multi main installer you may select from vanilla, hades 1.1 or hades 2.2. this will install all mods with the option you select. To change setting the only way is to uninstall all mods first then uninstall multi main and reinstall everything once multi main is installed with video option you want.

also soon will be an update with completed interface and mentat's canon saves.

Hi Everyone,

Here is Empire screen error fix that henka pointed out on last page when systems held goes over 99.

Empire screen error fix

This should allow 99/999 to be shown.



Just unzip and add files with UE or winrar to stbof.res
