here is the least amount of patches to get federation to declare war and subjugate a minor (tested on vanilla)
Edit; these 4 patches will also allow federation to subjugate a minor from a major.

Re: New Mirror Universe mod
Thanks, but:
Keep AI Federation from declaring War on Minor Races fix edited -> pointless, vanilla default does exactly the same
0x01754f4 // 5776F4 invade_0_002 -> increases INVADE task priority for all empires vs all types of systems i.e. not the feature we are looking for
So I'll try disabled INVADE switches and a settup with nearby Antedian (vanilla 0 attitude bug) asasp.
With at least all following disabled might do (at some point):

0042FAD3 cmp di, 1 ; Federation 0x2EED6 // don't proceed in some cases / invalid ID = sub_42FA50 always eax 0 same as klingons
00422C67 cmp word ptr [esi+8], 1 ; Federation 0x2206B // diplomacy to minor races when cold war or war
00423309 cmp word ptr [esi+8], 1 ; Federation 0x2270D // diplomacy to minor races when cold war or war
00422FE5 cmp word ptr [esi+8], 1 ; Federation 0x223E9 // some minor race attitude bonus +50 (???)I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

Re: New Mirror Universe mod
I guess I don't understand what "feature we are looking for"
if I remove any of those 4 patches federation will not declare war or subjugate free minors.
and those are the only 4 patches I had installed on vanilla
federation would declare war on turn 5 and subjugate on turn 6 the Bandi next to there home system.
here is turn 2 saved game (vanilla 800 x 600)

Re: New Mirror Universe mod
First, you shouldn't waste your time with this any further. Increasing the global invade modifier works for your mod in the way you want. That's all you need for now.thunderchero wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 4:16 pmI guess I don't understand what "feature we are looking for"
I'm searching for a list of all vanilla code switches/modifiers preventing the federation from conquering free minors, but all other majors not. The modifier 5776F4 is shared by all empires.
Yes, you add my workaround preventing empire x from declaring war on minors, with x = invalid i.e. no effect.
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

Re: New Mirror Universe mod
Note for mod testers,
Until next update don't attempt to upgrade scanners. they will just sit in build queue forever.
I have a replacement edifice.bst to fix issue, but file can not be added with UE
so will be included in next update next friday.

Re: New Mirror Universe mod
Hi Everyone,
any feedback? I also found another error, when Terrans are eliminated when playing as romulans (1366) will cause a CTD when viewing intel management screen.
easy fix it was just wrong format tga.
I am over half way on my test game T5 impossible as Romulans. i was in trouble at turn 90 when I ran across a combined Terran/Klingon fleet of 300+ ships when I only had 140 ships.
but I got lucky and picked them off in small groups after they took one of my systems
now I am at turn 180 and have eliminated the Terrans and have only 4 systems left before I eliminate the Klingons. But I have a small problem I am sitting on 3 of those systems but last system ferengi is sitting on with 350 ships. I only have maybe 200 ships spread out all over the map.
I think Ferengi is waiting for me to take out those other 3 systems so they will get morale boost?
But I am building at so many system I will soon have matching ships numbers.
Ferengi built a diverse fleet atleast, 200 fast attack 75 command and 75 strike. (I also wonder, if they have that many ships at 1 system how many other ships do they have?)
I still have not seen any of the Cardassian fleet.
I also need to go though a re-scale some ships. (some too big and some too small)
But so far it has been a fun game. only other crash so far was when I evaded with 200+ slow command ships. I got a strange error never seen before. I will investigate tomorrow.

As soon as I hit fight it crashed, auto combat I killed them all with very few loses.
I wonder if there is any way to increase stack limit
note; after several tests 711 ships (total) will go into combat, but 712 will crash every time

Re: New Mirror Universe mod
Hi Everyone,
Update is running a little behind schedule. I wanted to go though and make sure all patches were applied correctly with no unnecessary testing patches were present.
Ship scale and distance took longer than expected, but looks much better now.
My test game went very well, The AI I think is the strongest I have ever seen in any mod.
some new behavior,
1. AI before elimination will create colony ships and colonize empty system in an attempt to to survive.
2. the AI will alley with other empire more to protect/retaliate from occupied/subjugated systems.
3. much larger fleets from all empire very quickly
4. The AI will subjugated more systems.
5. better combat (they do not run away from battles so much)
6. AI has better systems, since they terraform all planets.
issues I would like feedback on
1. ship maintenance (too low?)
2. tech upgrade speed (too fast?)
3. morale (too easy to due to structures bonuses?)
most of above was for AI, but human player benefits also.

patch folder will be released on final version.
this is going to be a long post. I finally got the complete patch list that I have added to Mirror universe mod.
I ended up creating patches for every change and can revert back to an exact match to vanilla trek.exe if I remove every patch.
So I have every change documented.
Next is creating the readme file.

Re: Mirror Universe mod development
Hi Everyone,
just had a great battle as Cardassians it was vs a Terran and Feringi combined fleet
254 cardassain heavy cruisers II (cloaked)
vs
274 fast attack
73 command ships
1 non combat
My fleet was badly damaged in the end and some hulls were as low as 2 hull points, but 140 ships survived.
I lost 114 ships.

Re: Mirror Universe mod development
My first impressions of MUM:
PROS:
-1080 patch looks fantastic. The tireless and often underappreciated work you've put in over the years to bring this game to modern resolutions is nothing less than monumental.
-ships stats look well balanced and ships unlock at a reasonable rate from tech (with exception of starbases (see below)
-models are wonderfully rendered. I caught myself just staring at the Connie refit spinning it around over and over, Sovie too. All of them.
-no crashes at all over 300 turns. each turn processed like pouring a glass of water
-structures are nice touch for flavor for TE. Gives you the feeling of playing as Klinks
CONS/bugs (imo):
-you cant rename Pluto to Makemake or simply Planet 9? Cuz moving it and keeping name is a bit strange lol
-Edge starts are still a thing I guess? Tried starting 5 games and all were edge starts.
-Text alignment for planet names seems a little high as the top pixel is cut off in the solar system window
-starbase maintenance costs for upgrades should be a bit higher I think
-flavour request: Martial Law name changed to Agony Booths
-Mining Prisons don't have a morale penalty? WAI or bug?
-morale in general seems bugged i.e. Imp Council does not increase morale local or empire wide, local morale buildings also do not provide morale. EDIT: after 15 turns I got to 102 morale but then leveled off and did not change for another 30 or so
-dilithium is not used in ship construction? As in dil stockpile does not lower when ships building. If this is WAI it makes dil systems and structures pointless
-Too many systems with dil on map (irrelevant if previous point is true)
-still way too many M class planets in galaxy generation (all densities large galaxy)
-Maquis declare war instantly after meeting me but do not move ships to raid or attack my (at the time) very vulnerable fleet

Re: Mirror Universe mod development
lets add to that list
1. fixed pluto in Terran system as well as other wrong terraforming images displaying
2. main map will now display dilth used/remaining or red if negative properly, instead of total available
this was intended, in the mirror universe they have no issues when operating a mining prison
not so much a thing, but was done to prevent grouping of majors to left or right so distance between majors was increased.
I kept the upgrade cost low so player would not get the big income deficit after an upgrade. this was also done on ship upgrades
Say you have 20 starbases if it has an upgrade increase of 100 credits that would be an increase of 2000 towards ship maintenance
That was one thing I never understood in botf, when a race terraform a plant it should become an M class or type of plant race prefers. example Cardassians would like a hotter planet so maybe desert, Ferengi would like a rainy planet so maybe oceanic
changing minor races has always been difficult they will continue to act like the prior race.
The Maquis used to be the Mintakans, I changed the attitude and set to war like, but they still are not preforming as expected and still act more like the Mintakans. I am not sure how or if this could ever be fixed.
I should have selected a better race for the Maquis to replace. but minor race list is very limited.
