Minor Race bug, or part of the game?

Post by smallaxe0217 »

First off, thanks to whomever discovered the hexadecimal fix that allows you to contact minor races that are a part of another empire once you sign a friendship or greater treay with them.

However, I notice that if a minor race rebels against its oppressors, you are then unable to send any treaties to them. For example, if the Yridians are subjugated by the Cardassians, and then they rebel of their own accord, you can send them money but if you send a treaty, you get a message like "The Federation withdrew a treaty sent to the Yridians."

Is there a fix to this problem? thanks!

No he is talking about when the minor is subjugated, then declares independence, you cannot contact them after they declare independence... ive seen this too, and it sucks when ur playing Feds... :(

No fix that i know of? Unless i missed it?

A question to Tribble...

I know enough about programming and the hex editor stuff to do the changes stated as:
--------------------------------------------------

change:
83 0F FF FF FF 66 83 FA 20 0F 83 A2 00 00 00 89 D1 BA 01 00 00 00 D3 E2 8B 2D 50 2B 5A 00 89 D1 21 E9 0F 85
to:
82 0F FF FF FF C1 E2 06 81 C2 4C 20 5A 00 C6 02 00 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 E9
---------------------------------------------------
but what exactly is this last part?:

---------------------------
asm-44BB9D:
jb loc_44BAB2
shl edx, 6
add edx, offset_alienInfo+3C
mov byte ptr [edx], 0
nop (...)
jmp loc_44BAB2
--------------------------------

Am I supposed to add that somewhere in the hex code? please advise a non-code master :D

That i believe is just the explanation of what the fix does (an IDA Pro assembly check i think)

and if i read this correctly, the fix would go in this area:

asm-44BB9D:
jb loc_44BAB2
shl edx, 6
add edx, offset_alienInfo+3C
mov byte ptr [edx], 0
nop (...)
jmp loc_44BAB2
