Greetings!

Ok, so there's one more patch for BM v1.19. It contains a few fixes, mostly regarding the AI's trade and gift routines.

Small System users just need to re-apply the current Small Systems extra after updating to v1.19e.

You can download the v1.19e patch here:
http://www.captainkwok.net/balancemod.php

Other v1.19 patches are on the Balance Mod download archive page in case you need them.

The changes:
Code:
1.  Fixed  - Only Shield Generators damage type was not working correctly
2.  Changed - Made some improvements to the AI's Defense Base design
3.  Fixed  - The AI was accepting bad trades
4.  Changed - Made improvements to the AI's analysis of trades and gifts
5.  Fixed  - Some AIs starting tech selections were invalid
6.  Fixed  - The AI wasn't correctly replacing "Any" items in trades and gifts
7.  Updated - AI Scripts

Thank you :)

Balance Mod Research and Pollution Events Combo v1.02 gave me a home planet pollution at turn one. Conditions went from good to un... (I don't remember). Is it intended to get this in such an early stage?

Oh and how do I allocate Research Points? I clicked the arrows, double-clicked the area, right-clicked, clickedy-clicked everything. Turn 1 (displayed 50,000 RP). Then I took the next turn to see if I have to wait one turn, without success. The next turn even displayed zero RP, so the 50,000 seem to have been jettisoned.

I don't like the GUI. SE4 has been much more user-friendly.

Forget about the last portion. I accidently started a game with everything researched. :doh:

The homeworld always takes a quick hit at the beginning of the game with the pollution events extra because it's already fully loaded with facilities. Other planets experience the effect more gradually as they build facilities.

There is lots of UI shortcuts (right click menus, custom layouts, hot keys etc.) that will help alleviate most of the initial extra work with SE5's interface.

Aye, Captain, thanky! I will get used to the hot keys. SEV+Balance Mod almost is like a new game to me, which is good.

PS: While trying to add Tampa's Sound mod, I noticed you use your own SoundEffects.txt. Do you have other than stock sounds?

I made a couple of quick changes to v1.19f, so if you downloaded it between the time stamp of this post and my previous one, I'd advise you to grab it again!

I found that only damage engine damage type has 100% damage against Scattering armor type instead of 100% penetration.
It may be an error, since it doesn't make sense.

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V
 
Thanks for catching that one! Fortunately it only affected the Only Engines damage type, often errors like that get copied and pasted to other entries. I'm currently preparing another patch for v1.19 to get rid of these sorts of bugs. :P
