As written in the PM: WOW. First, thanks. Second, I love the models. Just saw the screenshots, they are really awesome. Looking forward to inspecting the models/textures. Thanks!
[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4423" id="3445628"] TobiWahn, Found another problem with the DB. The Frigate flag ship has statCountType "CapitalShipBattleship" and frigateRoleType "Invalid" which is not in the DB. I can do up the rest of the entity files but I suspect that is a key AI feature. If I encounter any other unique additions I'll let you know.[/quote] Thanks, will be in the next DB update. But you can enter the values by hand instead of selecting the

[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4396" id="3437889"]Found another DB bug. Under abilities useCostType the selection HullandAntimatter doesn't reveal the expected drop down menus.

[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4399" id="3437960"]I beefed up the Younger races mines. Using a capital ship to plow through a minefield to clear it is now a bad idea.

[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4381" id="3431234"]TobiWahn, Just tried the holiday release in MP with my son and immediately encountered a sync error at tick:100. Medium random map with EA as AI, Minbari and Centauri as player controlled. All fast game options were maxed out and no victory condition was set. Edit: Encountered an additional bug and opened a new ticket in response.[/quote] Hmmm. Sync errors? Anybody experience in this? Are these stemming f
Hi Darvroth, thanks for the info, added fields spawnShipsArrivalDelayTime spawnShipsHyperspaceSpawnType to spawnShips, will be in the next build of the db, but untested for now.
[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4375" id="3430032"]TobiWahn, I will need to rework the jumpengine abilities for the titans, as well as some others like the Narn energy mine.

[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4370" id="3429702"] Open question on titan upgrades: do the values in the upgrade need to reflect the upgrade desired for that level or the total value with the upgrade included? Example: Current Hull 8k, desired upgrade 600 hull. Should the value listed for that titan upgrade level be 600 or 8600? Edit: Looking at the Rebellion files it appears Titan abilities are grouped like a starbase but upgrade like a ship. So to

[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4346" id="3426734"]Update to all. Just ran through the capital ship abilities and the developer build of the mod is looking in pretty good shape. About 20% of the Caps have all planned abilities, a few still have only one with the bulk having two or more. I still have EA, Shadow and Vorlon to work through for already designed abilities, then it will be matter of closing the remaining ability gaps. Not sure how close we are to a new public release as we
[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4342" id="3424726"]Agreed, but that particular ability while referenced still isn't in the DB.
