Re: "Generations" BOTF development mod
Added some more patches that seem to cause no issues at the moment. Will stop again and test big time to ensure nothing crops up.
Also went though all ships from all races(still have a lot to go yet and a fair amount of testing)
Generations is going to be a slower based mod were expanding will take time at the start of the game and with higher maintenance(still testing this) for less ships and making them more valuable.
Still in future is hero ships and changing the main screen background.
Thanks for reading and truely cannot wait till others can play this mod. It's a lot of work but love doing it.

Re: "Generations" BOTF development mod
If you list the patches you have added so far, you might get some other suggestions based on what you have added.
it will also be interesting to see the direction mod is heading.
also don't forget we have located many multipliers that will effect the game greatly, this can fine tune gameplay even more.

Direction for the mod is a clean "error free(as possible)" mod with ships going through generations(want it so you can buy older ones if needed) with hero ships. Want a nice progression throughout the game that's balanced, enjoyable and a slower progression.
Have not looked anything up about multipliers. It might have to wait till my ships and buildings are done

Re: "Generations" BOTF development mod
Still working on all major race ships balance and added some different descriptions to major races when first encountered. I would like to start on a main page image but cannot at the moment find it anywhere and search has not helped at all...maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Some help would be greatly appreciated in this. Besides that everything has been going good so far and only had one random crash at the start of a new map. I believe it may have been just a weird crash because it has not showed up since and not worrying about it unless it happens much more often.
Thanks to everyone asking questions and helping me out along the way so far.

Ahh, once I had the name of it no wonder I had issues finding that. The name makes sense though . Will tinker with this a bit and see what kind of results I can get out of it.thunderchero wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:44 ammnbkgrnd.tgaStudmaster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 11:39 pm I would like to start on a main page image but cannot at the moment find it anywhere and search has not helped at all.

Re: "Generations" BOTF development mod
yes they are photoshop image, but only to create layered image (BOTF does not use this file type)Studmaster wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 6:58 pm to edit your provided pictures above will I need a Adobe type program or can I just use something like bitberry file opener for the type of file botf uses
quick search it looks like bitberry should open/edit psd files though, but I have never used bitberry.
