help modding ucw

Post by rawsy »

hi guys. i was hoping somone could help me with a couple of issues i am having. i have the ucw mod installed and have found that the defiant is to powerfull for the ai. it seems to come out on top to often even though the stats seems right? am i missing somthing??

also i may just be beign a dumb arse but everytime i do anything with stbof.res the game will not boot up and just sits there saying not responding? i have tried winzip winrar and 7zip but the game just hangs everytime i do anything. even if i just rezip everything in "store"

many thanks. site still looks good.

why are you using any of these programs? Use UE to edit stats.

its been a while, i was using an older editor .

the defiant stats dont seem that overkill really am i missing somthing?

also i was trying to rezip the stbof.res file in "store" so it would speed things up a bit, i couldnt do this as i used to be able to. seems things have changed since i last played around with this game.

many thanks

modern zip programs use better compression by now that is not supported by botf.
not sure on defiant but it's a damn good ship as we know from the show. :)

instead of rezip maybe just unzip, I read that works, or was it to compress with no compression applied? :roll:

At first I thought it might have been the "GalaxyII 640 points beam bug" but no the Galaxy II still has that. :roll:

so I have no idea.

cheers guys. i have lessened the sheilds on the defiant and that seems a little more balanced now.

i thought i had an issue with the a.i not building ships but it was just the intel screen saying that i had more ships than everyone when i clearly haddent? is that a knon bug? or just a quirk of the ucw mod??

cheers

if it your defiant had too much agility, or too much shield regeneration it might become a very tough cookie; try to compare the stats with ships of the same tier; the stats should be higher (i prefer) but not by much.
