Z build SotF: Fall of Kobol: Reb.1.82.35  has a check sum of zero, unless I'm missing something?

Shouldn't be a checksum of zero. I downloaded the mod and didn't see any issues. Also, I had to back out some of the strikecraft additions as it was causing some lag on my machine.

A checksum of zero is almost always caused by your extraction software creating an extra folder when you unzip the mod into the mod folder.

I've moved the relevant files up one level already in case that was the culprit but I'll play around with it again.

Edit: Copying the files down and then back up one folder deep did the trick but for no discernible reason....

No problem I knew it would require additional tweaking and balance...heck I've rebalanced the strike craft on SotYR at least 5 separate times due to observed in-game behavior. I still have a fighter tail chase problem there but it is much better than it was a couple years ago.

Z, if not already evident the AI prioritizes titan research. On higher AI levels AI cheats allow the AI to skip prerequisite techs which frequently leads to AI stalls. The AI acts more normally once the titan is researched though it will on occasion distort its build buffer attempting to stockpile sufficient resources to build a titan.

Indeed, Wormhole tech is another that can stall the AI if the tech is high in the research tree.

FYI, On the relationship bug I had where the AI would stall out trying to research the higher tier advanced cultural relationship... -  it was based on the order in the Player entity file. I had copied it into my new player file in alphabetical order not realizing the order in the player file would matter for this tech.

^ This is research that uses the RelationshipBonus modifier type.

I have spent some time creating the textures for Virgon, Leonis, Scorpia, Sagittaron, Libran, Aerilon, and Canceron trying to get the colors to match up the twelve colonies of kobol map. I found a texture for Aquaria that fits the single continent description. I also have found textures to use for the other major orbit bodies and gas giants.

As you can see I have Virgon and Leonis in game. It takes a bit of time to lay get a planet in game so I'll add them in slowly as they are available.

After they are all in I want to create the 5 star system map for the twelve colonies.

I agree, the planets look awesome. I'm looking forward to the next release of the other Sins of the Fallen races (upgraded AI etc). Also excited about continued upgrades to resurrection hehe

Hey Z... Just a few things I've noticed (may have mentioned these already? not sure)

- There is no icon for the new cylon titan factory when it is selected (for the menu down the left hand side of the screen). 

- what  happened to the old school raiders? Thought they were going to be added...

I got sidetracked by the texture being pretty crappy and tried finding a better model and failed. I then got burned out on trying to add it and put it in the todo list at some point in the future if I get around to doing it.

Maybe there are some modders who could help out? What ever happened to Koobalt? Are you still in touch with him?

Hmm, found a bad bug with the AI that most likely explains why the AI sometimes "stalls" out. If the Titan gets put into the AI's build queue but it can't build the titan command/fleet supply, cost, etc... The AI literally suspends new activity beyond it's current fleet.

The AI stalling out has been around for a while with Rebellion... I will think on this a bit and maybe give some allowances to the AI to keep it from hanging on this part if possible.

 

Hi Zombie,

If the titan-factory could be built by reaching level 4 instead of level 1 you might attenuate the problem, because the Ai would suspend building ships only from level 4 and not from level 1, 2 or 3.

Hey Z, what's up? Any news or updates? 

I just completed an overhaul of the AI system I can control. The AI is now compelled to complete research at any difficulty level. 

The AI also will now get it's Titan after appropriate research and fleet supply requirements are met. 

This means the AI at any difficulty won't just be a sitting duck and stall out as a result.

In addition to the above changes I added a few booster items to the AI to help it research and build ships a little bit quicker as the game progresses. 

 

In terms of other new features, I haven't been able to do anything with resurrection or tos raiders.

Z, have been re-watching the show. Although this is very minor, I've noticed that all Cylon kinetic weapons are purple in colour  (raiders  included). Colonial is yellow. How difficult is it to change the cylon kinetic weapons to purple instead of yellow? Would suit BSG cannon much better. 

Also im thinking that the Guardian MkII and worldstar should have kinetic weapons... Not just missiles...

These are the autocannon travel textures used for the kinetic weapons. Edit the textures (if you need a program download gimp), and set the colors up to be the purple you think would look good and send them back to me.

Another relevant change is coming soon to Resurrection.

No the Resurrection Hub can't move yet But it will work way more consistently and be better balanced. Basically I've fixed all the issues with Resurrection and added in new code for resurrrecting ships. It all works really well now.

I've posted a news article on moddb on resurrection. Check it out after it's approved.

This sounds sooooooo cool! Have been eagerly waiting for improvements to resurrection. 

Will the Titans still be able to spawn resurrection hubs as their ultimate ability?
