Can we make the SAVE GAME more prominent in the upper blue bar

yes it would require 4 changes of ls_bkgd.tga and ls_svlb.tga

ACCEPT SAVING in the button (+ ACCEPT = LOAD in LOAD GAME screen)?

maybe (untested) would require creating duplicates of loadsave.wdf (rename) to l.wdf and s.wdf
change trek at 0x017df18 to new wdf names (should be room for both)
change offset at 0x190d4c to offset of s.wdf
create new images replacing accept buttons (2 sets) load/save
edit wdf to use new accept button names

INTEL MANAGEMENT Screen -> locked-sliders of eliminated empires Bug:

Sum of Total Percentage(s) in my case 81% (3 empires gone with 19% Intel locked in hidden sliders)

If an intel slider was locked while the target empire dies the assigned intel percentage is lost for good....(funny bug ). Any solution?

never noticed this before, but I don't play as cardassians much. I expect it might have been either cardassian only bug or saved game error?

The forum doesn't allow me to upload a third picture for this post (limit?).

no limit I know of, did you get any message when you attempted? only messages I know of is "file size" and "file type not allowed"

Sounds very complicated. I thought just replacing both ACCEPT buttons with new LOAD & SAVE buttons might be easier.

not really took 30 min (mostly editing tga files)

that wdf is shared by load and save screens so it would need a separate wdf to allow different buttons

here is 40% and 50% for 800 x 600

Thank you, even 50% is still too dark/drab, but looks better than black and is better to read than the vanilla default. So please make it 25% transparency and collect files with other GUI files for the next update, thanks (I couldn't find the forum post transparency % for comparison & I have no photoshop).


But I still have to rescale fed phasers (a bit too thin), add Joker TNG photon torpedoes for Galaxy, Galaxy-X & Nebular only and look for texture improvements for the same three ships (look like engines offline / powered-down mode textures like in the old game dominion wars) and the Sovereign (but might be just the ugly vanilla hob) plus better quantum torpedoes.


To make even better use of your inspiration for the new borg button, I'd enable the repaired Domination Victory Borg Invasion feature without random events: viewtopic.php?p=27090#p27090. Some complaints about borg ruined game, but also complaints about no Borg in game despite of random events & Borg = On (might be related to vanilla domination Borg bug).

So, with all other Borg bugs fixed, and playing in Domination mode with Borg-On, one could trigger a single cube when reaching 50%+ of the cumulated empire population (before win with 60%+ anyway). I think many Random Events averse players would appreciate this (now simple adjustable) feature.

- Borg initial-requirements can still block the cube: viewtopic.php?p=46069#p46069
- cube replication after system destruction works without random events & min requirements (but the new Borg button can turn it off - unless multiplayer)


Also I'd enable Borg-Off for multiplayer (this strange code exception makes no sense), but might require tiresome Borg trigger testing for sync errors (host vs second player with different Borg On/Off setting - to make sure only host is used). On the other hand, if this is an issue, a joining player changing Random Events in Options menu should also trigger sync errors regardless of borg.

Nebula:

- Nacelles -> blue area corrupted one side only (texture part not centered)
- Deflector -> light blue area corruped with dark blue (in game looks powered down, for some reason galaxy deflector looks not that bad)

Ambassador -> Nacelles underside black/burned area

Thank you, will test soon.

The texture fix is more a thing for a christmas update. I just collected the flaws since I needed a fleet with all fed ships for the phaser workaround anyway (or give up on the issue). And You have already helped more than enough (thanks again) plus other upcoming artists might also need chances to prove themselves.

Thank you, I forgot, planet & phaser packs only. Otherwise I had installed GAL-mod and checked stbof.res.

adding any of his files would require adjusting palette.lst

Not a problem. I just extended the palette limit via hex editor (no trek.exe code change needed)

hh3_a.gif using new palette index ID 129 81h (i.e. new palette 130, 1024 bytes added to end of palette.lst):

palette_index_81h.png (167.91 KiB) Viewed 2426 times

Each palette consists of 256 four byte RGB slots ending with FF each so 1024 bytes per palette.

Palette.lst header is an index list telling which palette to use for each texture in texture.lst.

Both vanilla files (palette/texture.lst) start with the value 299 (number of 36 bytes entries for gif files in texture.lst)

299 * 4 + 8 = 1204 i.e. 0x4B4 = start of first palette data in palette.lst (129 palette entries a 1024 bytes)

E.g. scar1.gif uses palette index ID 80h (i.e. palette 81h)

@ 0x4B0 (299*4+4) max palette index ID +1 aka number of palettes (default 81h) -> updating this value will fix the display glitch when extending palette.lst

[Spocks-cuddly-tribble]

Here is preliminary ECM 5 final update, not perfect (e.g. Sovereign with fake shadow), but close enough to the game vanilla BotF should have been.

The colorful new torpedoes for Galaxy, Galaxy-X & Nebula compensate for smallish texture flaws.

- Domination Victory Borg Invasion without Random Events (but no -BorgOff in MP yet)
- new tphoton.hob, palette & texture.lst (old qpton looks better vs the darker hh3 texture)
- cps_scrn.tga with 75% transparency

Installer needs extra resolution files for:

- cc_bkgd.tga: viewtopic.php?p=56902#p56902
- new l.wdf & s.wdf: viewtopic.php?p=57056#p57056
- cps_scrn.tga with 75% transparency: viewtopic.php?p=57064#p57064



Tested Galaxies MOD (great, ambitious mod), same phaser scale issue with small ships:

In ECM fixed via extra phaser.hob with 45% scale vs other ships' phaser.hob.

after that you know how to re-name and edit phaser used.

Reworking a torpedo from an Armada mod (GAL-Mod torpedoes look like from the same mod) I got a texture.cpp, Line: 378, i == GOOD_READ.

I suspect wrong gif color table or compression but I can't see the BotF gif format requirements: https://gitlab.com/stbotf/ultimate-edit ... Image.java
https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10 ... lor-Tables

Is there an easy fix for this gif?

different color table and error

Thank you. I didn't store a color table in the gif when converting from tga (palette.lst should make it redundant?).
Polishing the gif for the esthetic requirements of BotF is not worth the effort and currently beyond my picture editing skills.


I run a federation ECM quick test of the new codes for rebellions and Borg invasion without random events (worked flawless).

Borg phaser are too small. Upscaled revision:
