Ok, Well I know its kinda been asked once, but I have been trying to place a Starbase in my maps and have been unable to do so. I believe this has something to do with the way in which they are created in the game initially, but let me explain. Up till now I have had no problem placing any ship/planet module in maps by simply ensureing that they are present in both Galaxyscenario.defs (The mods & the galaxy forges) and then simply assigning them
Wow... so much to say, First off, the majority of people are right, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE MOD & we are all lucky to be playing it. I'd like to take the time to thank Major Stress & Darkshimmer for the endless hours spent refining, tweaking and perfecting this mod out of a love of for Star Trek and Sins. When i think of the sheer amount of time they have invested bringing the mod this far, it only cements my opinion that its people li
[quote who="MindsEye" reply="21" id="1958819"]Man you guys are tough on nemesis. I thought it was pretty good. The only part that didnt make sense was when a reman became preator. They didnt really kill data as he dl'ed his entire memory into b-4. The remans made sense to be a part of the rom empire cause they conquer all the time. I admit I would have rather seen something more involved with romulans. To me the most dissapointing thing about the movie is it kinda brought everything to an end
I actually agree with this, First thing I did for my own personal play version was to do whatever possible to restrict the "Fast re-build and spam" factor that sins has. In the shows, you cant just pump out 10 mirandas in 20 mins and begin a new offensive. But I also noticed if I up-ed the supply or costs of the ships the AI wouldnt build the way they should. So my solution was to keep their cost but sky rocket their build times. Which meant in my own pe
There is one problem that I can see with his method and I had already attempted the same thing when Major Stress approached me with this issue. The problem isnt in getting the "Phase Cloak" ability to do what you want when altered, the problem is...... that Major Stress wanted the ships to be completely visable when traveling at warp. Both the "Warp Transperancy" and the "Phased Out" invisible effect work off of the same file located in the "/PipelineEffect folder", called
We altered the ship names in Our SoA 2 Fan demo. It is easy, they are in the string file and even labeled for the races: StringInfo ID "IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_TECH13" Value "USS Potemkin" See, so just go into the string file and alter them.
The Vasari buildings go invisible when being attacked, its called being phased out & it is the same thing that is applied to the ships during Warp/Phase Jump. Applying that effect to a ship ability that still allows the ship to move should be simple enough. The problem is that we removed the transperancy from the ships during warp, which also happens to be the same file used by the cloaking effect. So as it stands right now in my test the ships should be going invisible,
I agree whole-heartedly with Danman, This was a tough blow to take. But I would like to say something & I dont want it to sound like I am pleading for the mod's survival, but I still need to say it... Taking into consideration the last decade of Trek Gaming both in actual game releases & mods I can safely say, (at least for myself) that this mod has been the best trek game I have ever played. Even the limitations that you cant seem to correct or ignore
Failure is not logical.....[e digicons]:fuzzy:[/e] Resistance is fuitlie..................[e digicons]:borg:[/e] No, seriously... I totally uderstand Major Stress & I will support all of your decisions, though I must admit, I did get a terrible sinking feeling in my stomach when I read this thread. I do understand though & I would agree, in that I hope for some of these issues to be cleared up in future updates. Thank you for bringing
Is there any hope of finding a resolution to this issue, cause I have literally tried everything.... No matter what I do, the starting locations are randomized. Any help would be appreciated. Adm. Cobbs
Well I was wrong... I must have been lucky before, but it just started me off in the wrong spot again. This is getting really frustrating & I would really like to know why this is happening. If one of the dev.s could lend a hand with this issue I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks so much.
Ok so I finally figured out what I have been doing wrong...[e digicons]*_*[/e] Not only do the team indexes have to be correct, but you also have to set the random seed to 0. Thanks a million
I have already tried this, but for the sake of the arguement I just tried again & it still randomized the starting location. I tried changing the team index to everything from 1-9 and set the appropriate teams in-game (accounting for the fact that team index 0 is actually team 1 in-game) no matter what I changed it to the starting locations were still randomized. I cant tell you how frustrating this actually is in terms of map making, I can assure you that I d
As far as I know the AI's behavior that way is adjustable, or at least it was for me. In the Gameplay file located in the mods GameInfo folder there are lines of text at the bottom that look like this: playerAISharedDef table-Aggressive BuildShip 10 BuildModuleTactical 2 BuildModuleCivilian 1 BuildModuleResearch 2 UpgradeResearch 3
I have been "Dealing" with this problem for some time..... [e digicons]:fuzzy:[/e] So I would really like to know how too. I've tried everything, even editing the text files...... Nada.....
Ok So I loath Star Trek Vrs. Babylon 5.............. But this video has some of the most incredible independantly done C.G. work I have seen & some wicked battle shots. So I had to share it.....[e digicons]:fuzzy:[/e] [code="html"] http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=postto " target="_blank"> <input ty
I have been able to mess around with some stuff and I have come up with a few interesting things, As an example, I created an ability for one of my ships called "Fire-At-Will" which is basically an altered Volley Fire, but it takes power away from the engines (-200% engines +200 rate of fire) and devotes it to weapons. The result was a very interesting but ultimatly balanced ability. (When on, the ship may be slower, but you dont want it to catch up with you.. :SURPRISED:
Well, I didnt have to much luck.... =P & what I did find, you probably already knew about. But here are some images none-the-less: -Orion Merchant- [img]http://www.ditl.org/gpns/GOrionShip4.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.ditl.org/gpns/GOrionShip5.jpg[/img] -Orion Raider/Interceptor- [img]http://www.ditl.org/gpns/GOrionShip3.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.ditl.org/gpns/GOrionShip2.jpg[/img] [img]http://images.wikia.com/memoryalp
Well, I certainly like the Orion idea and I will give it the ol' college try in finding some ship designs for them. As for the Ferengi, I had a thought about them, why not make them the trade ships for all the races? It would seem to fit that they would be doing the bulk of the trading through out the galaxy. So just make the little trade ships, ferengi ships & let each races refinery ships be race specific. Adm Cobbs
The Map is certainly not canon, it came from a Fan Fiction site. But I agree with Major Stress, in that its really dificult to find any credible map of the ST Universe. This map has Federation space on the other side of the Klingon Empire because it is supposably set way farther into the Star Trek timeline. But its all fan fic. Here is the address for the fan fiction site I got it from: [link="http://www.sttff.net/starshipdatabase.html"]WWW Link[/link] The
Hello, I found these ship designs and map on some "Fan Fiction" site but thought they were cool looking. Not sure how canon the map is, but the ships definatly arent... I also know your just making ships from the Dominion War. I just wanted to share the pictures cause I thought they were some nice concepts. -=The Map=- [img]http://www.sttff.net/images/AST030.jpg[/img] -=The Ships=- [img]http://static3.filefront.com/images/person
