<font color=blue>Patch 1 is out.<font color=black> www.astmod.com/startrekmod/home.html Remember you PW and USER names?

The patch addresses several issues. It also includes EMP files for the 10 major races. I have play tested them up to 100 turns and they seem to be doing well. (AI Bonuses Medium & High)

These are just data files only, new components, and race AI files. The new components should work and fix all of the missing bmp files. *fingers crossed*

The patch fixes the following:

8. - Updated: The Fyron Quadrant Mod to FQM Delux 2.4
9. - Modified: FQM Delux to not use extra nebula bmps (keeps the size of the over all mod down.)
10. - Fixed: Misspelling of Cardassian_Portrait_BattleCruiser
11. - Changed: VehicleSize.txt Federation Escort tonage from 200 to 240

27. - Added: EMP Files for 10 Major Races
28. - Modified: All AI_General.txt's (They were not using Racial points correctly)

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Easy fix for this one. You mispelled the Klingon directory in the patch file, so it put the Klingon_AI_General.txt file in the "Klinogn" directory, which raises a bit of a fuss when you go to create a game. Just fyi.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Found another one, again while creating a game. Went to edit the 8472 empire to make them computer controlled and it gave me this error:

"Unable to load c:\...\star trek mod\pictures\races\Breen\Breen_Portrait_Dreadnough t.bmp"

I'm investigating to see if it's something simple.

[Edit] my own typo, had backslash instead of underscore. still looking for error.

[Edit] Error might have something to do with the fact that there is no file by that name. I thought I saw this addressed a while back, but it'll take me a bit to search twelve pages of this thread...

Yay, I broke 100 Posts finally. Still haven't found anything on the Breen_Portrait_Dreadnought.bmp thing though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I copied and renamed the Cardassian dreadnought portrait into the Breen directory, and all is well.

Except it's turn five, and I'm surrounded by the Borg and the Sheliak. Great. I knew I shouldn't have picked the Ferengi.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

It seems a cargo bay component must have the most cargo storage ability or the AI might use a Drone Launcher instead. See Example for possible solution. If example is use in vehicle size data file set requirement pct cargo to 25.

Example.

How to make AI use captain components.

(See Example A) by adding the ability of ship training to the Federation combat captain component, one can make the AI use the component by targeted the ship training ability in the Federation design creation data file (See Example B) .

Example A
Number of Abilities := 3
Ability 1 Type := Combat To Hit Offense Plus
Ability 1 Descr := Gives a 5% attack bonus in combat.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 5
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Ability 2 Type := Combat To Hit Defense Plus Ship Training
Ability 2 Descr := Gives a 5% defense bonus in combat.
Ability 2 Val 1 := 5
Ability 2 Val 2 := 0
Ability 3 Type := Ship Training
Ability 3 Descr :=
Ability 3 Val 1 := 1
Ability 3 Val 2 := 25
Weapon Type := None

Example B
Num Misc Abilities := 1
Misc Ability 1 Name := Ship Training
Misc Ability 1 Spaces Per One := 10000

The mod now uses the Fyron Quadrant Mod Delux witch uses the PLANET IMAGE PACK. You can get the planet image pack with the Image Mod.
