Ultimate Dominion Mod III - Beta Info

[Falco84]

So, the only choice I have is to go back on XP?

Thanks for the reply.

[Falco84]

I've just changed the compatibility mode to XPsp2 and it works.

Can't believe it's that simple.

[captaindusk]

Do you think there's a way to make it compatible in the future? AFAIK there is kinda "Windows XP Emulator" integrated in Windows 7, like the Dos Box was integrated in XP Maybe it works with this? Or has this been announced only for the final version and can't be found in the beta? I can't tell cause I refuse to try out the beta yet. I don't wanna reinstall my system as it nearly works perfect now. Ok it refuses many games but that's another topic ^^.

edit: o.k. problem solved, guess we posted at the same time ^^. So Falco, you solved it through the Explorer Compatibility Mode? Just curious.

[Falco84]

Yep, just went to Properties of the trek.exe and changed the compatability mode.

It works but it crashes from time to time. I've played around 200 turns and it crashed 3 or 4 times, with no error message. But it is still playable. Just restart the game, click continue and the game goes on.

Thanks for the reply pal. Happy Gaming.

Got a slight problem with using UE to reintroduce my favourite: Wind Turbines! Have put in the exact same values as in Vanilla to all the available fields, but am still unable to build them (although you can start with one in the home system).

Any ideas?

[thunderchero]

changes need to be made to build requirment, ai build requierments and allow building for each race at tech requierment.

ok so I've already changed all the relevant fields under Building stats with no luck..I've now put a minimum pop of 80 under ai building req. I'm hoping this will help. What do you mean by 'allow building for each race at tech requierment' ? I have already selected you need Energy TL=2 under bulding stats.

Cheers!

[mbwilliams]

no worries I sorted it - forgot to add the tick to under race TL req!

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums here but I downloaded Multi and UMD III yesterday and have been really impressed with the great work! One small detail... I'm on about turn 102 in my game as the dominion and I keep getting my butt kicked by a klingon fleet that is almost exactly the same strength as mine. After replaying the battle about 7 times with different strategies, I realized that none of my ships except for my Armed Transports are firing their torpedoes? My fleet consists of Attack Fighter II's, Heavy Cruisers, Enforcers and Transports. If this is a known issue, I'm sorry to re-post but I didn't want to sift through 68 pages of posts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for all the great work!

@RedMarth,

If you could upload save to here;

http://www.4shared.com/dir/2718631/36f4 ... aring.html

I will take a look at it. and no I have not heard of any problems like this.

I will try to post as quick as I can. also if you could post what version you are using (a prerelease is out UDMIII3.0.0 and UDMIII3.0.0a_b)

thunderchero

[RedMarth]

Save uploaded. All you have to do is end the turn and the battle begins. It appears as though I am using version 3.0.0. Thanks for the prompt response and I hope you can make some sense out of this!

EDIT: It might help to know that I have since my original post, gone back and tried other battles with other fleets and in every case, my ships don't fire torpedoes.

[thunderchero]

@RedMarth,

I took a look at your saved game and there are a couple reasons for this:

1. dominion have very few torpedoes in that version at that tech

2. min range for torpedoes is set very high at that tech

both of these issues have been looked at in next update.
