<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yikes. Your not planning on changing the current Version so it works on both Gold and 1.49 are you? When I edited the data files to make it work on 1.49 I had to change a lot of stuff for the worse because 1.49 did not support various features. ie. The bussard ram Jet thingy is now an 'only one per ship' because 1.49 did not support 2 or 3 per ship. Also many of the damage types had to be changed. etc etc. I forget everything I changed now.

I got it working in ver 1.49 but it is far better in Gold. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I had considered it, but now, hell no. They will just have to buy GOLD.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Using the Star Trek Map, the Federation should be starting in the center of the map while the Klingons should be starting in the south east. You should not be starting next to each other if you've followed the instructions at:Star Trek Map Page

If you still have problems after following these instructions, please contact me at rickperreault@msn.com

I've got a much newer Version of the map that if you all bug me enough for I will make the time to post.

It was the united consortium of planets--not the feds--heh

*bugs Userx a tremendous amount for new Version of the map*

Something wrong with Vorta Captain I-II:

Name := Vorta Captain I
...
Ability 2 Type := Combat Movement
Ability 2 Descr := Generates 2 movement.
Ability 2 Val 1 := 1

Name := Vorta Captain II
...
Ability 2 Type := Combat Movement
Ability 2 Descr := Generates 4 Combat movement.
Ability 2 Val 1 := 2

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Since installing the 1.5.1 fix patch (applied to the 1.5.1 patch) my game started under 1.5.0 crashes with the error message

" Access violation at address 004909G6 in module SE4.exe. Read of address 00000004."

This occurs during the mod loading and at turn generation. Before the fix patch things were fine. Sigh....I'd just finished researching the third colonisation tech, too.

Is this a problem with one of the patches or my saved game or bad luck?

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

The fix does say that it will break savegames that were started with 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 without the fix. It adds back in the FQM Deluxe SectType.txt that the mod should have had. But, this causes any savegame started with the old SectType.txt file (the one from stock SE4) to not work. To finish your savegame, just copy the SectType.txt file from the stock data folder into the STM data folder. Apply the fix once you are done with the current savegame.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Sounds like just a few minor issues that need workign out.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

One noob question about boarding attack/defense strength in STM.

In the stock game boarding attack/defense strength calculated as Ability Value x 4, but STM works different(?):
Attack:
Boarding Parties I>
Ability 1 Descr := Provides 20 space marines ..skipped..
Ability 1 Val 1 := 2
=> multiplier = 10

Boarding Parties II>
Ability 1 Descr := Provides 40 space marines ..skipped..
Ability 1 Val 1 := 5
=> multiplier = 8

Boarding Parties III>
Ability 1 Descr := Provides 60 space marines ..skipped..
Ability 1 Val 1 := 10
=> multiplier = 6

Boarding Parties V>
Ability 1 Descr := Provides 100 space marines ..skipped..
Ability 1 Val 1 := 20
=> multiplier = 5

Defense:
Security Personnel I-V> multiplier = 8

Federation Security I-V> multiplier = 10

Klingon Shock Troops I>
Ability 2 Descr := Provides 100 Klingon ..skipped..
Ability 2 Val 1 := 30
=> multiplier = 3,3333...

Klingon Shock Troops II>
Ability 2 Descr := Provides 140 Klingon ..skipped..
Ability 2 Val 1 := 45
=> multiplier = 3,1111...

I'm confused. Have I missed something important about boarding?
