[quote who="Darvroth" reply="4336" id="3423252"]TobiWahn, EA Hermes uses the ability AntiMatterRechargeModule which does not effect Titan or corvette (yet). One of the impacts of this ability is if two or more Hermes are in proximity they will recharge each other significantly reducing EA need to visit bases for refit. I recommend changing Hermes to a corvette from a frigate so one Hermes cannot resupply a second in company Hermes which would force EA players so more frequently res

[quote who="NewHorizons" reply="4317" id="3418819"]True, the Neroon does carry a lot of squads, but the Sharlin could host a few too so I was proposing moving the Sharlin's statCountType role to the Sharoos and its statCountType to the Sharkaan with the hope of giving the AI a hint or two at the start of the game.[/quote] Please make your proposal a ticket and I will look into it and try the changes.

[quote who="NewHorizons" reply="4300" id="3417722"]You'd have to be careful with the Shadows & Vorlons though as their cap ships aren't normally available until some research has been done. Granting them instant access to a powerful cap ship could give them an unfair advantage at the start of a game. Maybe their flagships could be weakened in some way to balance things out, although that does sound a bit counter intuitive - not much of a flagship if it's weaker than the standa

Hi guys 'n gals, I've not yet updated the last dev build for you to download, as I've encountered a show stopping bug (issue 164 I believe, if you want to look it up). Mainly, half of the victory conditions crash, some on load (flagship victory), others on returning to the main menu. After that is sorted, I will release another "nightly" build.

My EA re-write isn't quite as complete as I thought. Give me a bit more time and I'll commit what I have with most issues known. You can bundle that with your DB improvements then I'll take that and clean it up and recommit which should resolve EA except for abilities. I'll stress, my EA rewrite in its current form i
Hi Darvroth, I'm sorry to have bestowed so much pain upon you. I've now uncovered errors in the ModDB that prevented you from creating abilities (I now know what you were talking about). I've corrected what I found (duplicating abilities works now as well) and will distribute a new build to you and NewHorizons this weekend if you like.

Hi, I've fixed the Leshath now. All I needed to do was to recreate the polygon I've optimised away. I shall never again doubt a face Thoumsin created. It will have meaning. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] The Leshath uses a heavily modified Tinashi body and wings, the top wing and the cockpit tube are from Thoumsins Sharlin, slightly modified to remove a few polys, the ribs are new. The tail is from the Sharlin, the other elements from the Tinashi or newly made. Polycount is a
Thanks for respecting my wish. If you need help getting into modding (models an such) give me a call. Maybe if you create some cool models yourself we can trade between our mods. (I only accept models which were made specifically for the mod or if I have written consent of the creator) But again, thank you. Our mod means a lot to me, and I think to all of my colleagues as well. Tobias
[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="4273" id="3413297"] Do you use Softimage XSI? I believe you can select the polygon that's inverted and then perform Poly. Mesh->Invert Polygon. [/quote] Thanks, that was the first thing I tried. It does not work, as the faces still end up facing inwards after being converted using XSI. Is there a way to explode a vertex into a polygon? In all honesty is is my mistake. I've used Thoumsins Sharlin Command Tube
Texture for Leshath is finished, but I have a peculiar problem when the model is converted to mesh. 2 faces are inverted by ConvertXSI, which result in an optical hole in the mesh. I hate ConvertXSI. Even with --nooptimize it does not work. Has anybody experience with turning faces by hand in a mesh?
