Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Before I added the glow to the engines and gun port, I did some checking, they did glow.

Since all but three of the total 40 some odd romulan ships I have made are orginal works, I reserved the right for creative license. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I like them, and especially how the Klingons ships came out. The BOP is the work of literally a years worth of tinkering.

The Romulan ship that was in Nemesis, the first on the second row, took weeks to perfect. I still am not happy with the War Bird, thrid on top, but hey, I am using DOGA so cut me a break. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Another couple of very similar racial traits:
Poor Storage Techniques, -500 cost, -20% planet storage space
and
Pack Rats, -500 cost, -25% planet storage space.
I think Pack rats could provide greater savings and greater penalty: -1000 cost, -40% planet storage space.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Note that you can combine two such traits, and their effects will add together. You coul make them both -500 and 20% penalty (example values of course, not saying these are absolutely balanced values). Take both, gives 1000 points and provides a 40% space penalty.

If you have trait A with -20% and gives 500, and trait B with -40% and gives 1000, you can take both to get 1500 points and have a -60% penalty.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

So. Current STM beta utilize its own components.bmp. Next. Borg Tracking comp uses bitmap # 1653. Problem is that there is no such mini in the components.bmp supplied with the mod.

AT, all your components are already included into the IM component pack, so why not use this pack instead of customised one?

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

THanks Aiken for the Mini-Storage issue.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Aiken, I have generated about 20 new components for use with the mod SINCE the latest image mod. I am waiting to submit them to Suicide Junkie until the mod's next release.

Will look into it, might be a typo.

R.Daneel - Do a search for "Image Mod Updates" or Private Message (PM) Sucide Junkie.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

This component is in the latest Version of the IMAGE mod. I just checked and the component is correctly numbered. You might want to update your IMAGE MOD files.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I have latest IM component pack. And both fullsize and mini pictures are there. But since components.bmp in the stm_mod\pictures\components folder overrides imagemod components files, I couldn't see this component's mini picture. I deleted components folder from STM folder and pasted comp_888 into imagemod folder and compiled minis. Now everything is fine.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I will have all the new components submitted to IMAGE mod soon.

I do not understand, if the image is missing from the STM pictures / component, folder then SE IV should automatically get it from the game - Pictures/Component folder. Very odd.

Oh well, you learn something new every day.

Here are some of the latest Cardassian images. (Please note that I re-did the Terok'Nor space station completely. - DS9)

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

They look good, but not as good as the romulon's. For some reason, they also remind me of clams. You might want to re-think the brown color.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Thanks Narf.

I did a lot of color matching before I chose the brown-Clam color. I have a Playmates Cardassian Galor class ship and I had two choices, yellow brown, or copper brown. I opted for the copper tone color as it provided me with a greater degree of varations for off sets.

Aiken, thank you for the information on the Borg, I will fix ASAP.

I should note that Intimidator and I are playing a game via IM and process on average about 20 turns a day. We have discovered a few things that have now been added to my "fix list." We discovered the Mini-Storage component would often be used by the AI as an upgrade, Aiken also noted this. We know that the Neutral empires need help with designing ships, as the Vulcans and others are not using Warp Core and nacelles. A few other minor issues have come up, like adjustments for supply useage and such.

I have also finished with the master weapons list, both for the current weapons component load out of the STM, as well as the new proposed weapon component load out. (For balance issues)

The new propulsion system is working very well and gives the game a real RPG thrill that I do hope players will enjoy.

I have finished re-modeling the Klingons, the Romulans, and I am now working on the Cardassians. I hope to have all the major races re-rendered by the end of next month.

The beta testing continues on the 1.8.0 Version of the game, and I want to say thank you to Aiken for his reports. They have been very helpful.

If you are play testing the mods beta update, PLEASE take the time to post any bugs you might encounter as you play. Please post suggestions, spelling errors, oddities, etc.

Thank you.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

You should use that thing you do to make those red engines "glow" on the Cardassian ships...

Anyway, I'm still just impressed that you filled up that spreadsheet with all those weapons so quickly!

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

For _portraits_, yes. But, there is a Components.bmp file in the mod folder, so SE4 uses it. It can not randomly change it's mind and use the stock game's Components.bmp file for a few minis. A blank (completely black) mini is still a mini as far as the game is concerned. If you were to delete the Components.bmp file from the mod folder, SE4 should look at the one in the stock folder.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Cool, im really looking forward to see more of the "revised" shipsets. Im especially excited about species 8472, the Borg and oc the Kazon ^^

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I have added more to the spread sheet. The proposed weapons one that is. I will be adding smaller weapons to it soon.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I think the mod is simply amazing. Very excellent - best star trek game I have ever played.

Haveing said that, I have a few broad questions about the klingons in the current Version of the mod. I played the just prior Version as the Cardassians, and now am in the Quadrant of COnflict game as the Klingons. It seems the Klingons are a lot less "tweaked" or "flavored" than I expected given my experience as the Cardassians previously.

What I mean is, the Klingons just seem to have "standard" components and weapons, except for the few klingon facilities. The only real flavor in them as far as I know so far is the "warrior" tech and that's not standard part of the Klingons.

For example, the Cardassians had a whole bunch of "cardassian mounts" - but I have not yet seen any in the klingons.

Also, are there some specific Klingon weapons that appear later? All I have to play with so far are phasers and the standard torpedo weapon family - and even with massive mounts, standard phasers now do a lot less damage than they did previously it seems. Whatever happened to disruptors?

Admittedly, I'm not yet into the late tech of the Klingons, but I find that I am definitely concentrating on getting my Warrior tech maxed out rather than my Klingon tech, simply because it seems to give me more of a payoff.

Am I just confused? Maybe I need to just dig deeper into the Klingon Ship COnsrtuction techs, or some of the other Klingon racial tech trees?

Thanks for a great mod!

Alarik

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I am playing the Klingons now, the Klingons are not very smart when it comes to technology so they are a bit behind, but what they lack for smarts, their weapons and ships make up for. Klingons have cloaking tech as well. You have to do a lot of researching to benefit the Klingons.

I am working on making the klingons and all other races, a bit more equal in all regards to avoid balance issues like this.

And thanks for the nice words Alarik. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Well, I probably should do a "full tech " drill on the klingons to see what they have at max tech, but I really quite enjoy discovering it as I go. So my comments may not be valid later on.

But in any case, man, the mod is super fantastic excellent. I mean, really. It is the best star trek game I have ever seen. Truly. An amazing job. Thanks. Christmas is coming up - can I get you anything in return?

I kinda did it. Look for text in brackets, ie: (should be "and_goes_fixed_description"). It contains a right description for given values.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Nice Dominion ships ! A small questin though, the right image is supposed to be a starbase, right ? Where did you get the design from, i dont remember noticing a dominion base in tv.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Atrocities, the previous batch of dominion ships seemed to have more detail (i.e. "raised panel" effects) on their hulls or am I just imagining this? If not, then I'd suggest adding a bit of that detail to the textures.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Ragnarok X, to answer your question, creative license.

Kwok, they are the same designs, just no reflections. The images are all one texture with three colors total for the whole design. This way if I ever can export them for use with SE V, the task will be much easier. And when they are at 128x128 size, they all look alike. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Atrocities,
I like to think I know this game pretty well, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

I started 2 different games (1 with 1.79 as the Feds and 1 with 1.80 as the Dominion) with med. tech and 5k racial. I chose random opponents in the first game and setup specific races in the second. In both cases, I designed a colony ship with 2 Impulse engines, 2 nacelles, 1 warp core, and 4 boussards (sp?). My design window shows 2 MP, but when it gets built, there are 0 MP.

I started a Max Tech game as the STNG Feds and had various other racial technology (Tholian, Borg, Cardsassian), is this intentional?

I have an initial savegame if you would like to see it. Email or PM.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

could you send me your latest sav game file. And try this, for colony ships, add two more warp nacelles. That should fix the issue. Colony ships should have four warp nacelles. I will add a description text to that effect in the game to avoid problems like this.

Thanks Gandalph

I think that this was the way Rollo had set them up orinially for use with MONSTER Tech. I will check though.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

The first BSYs built are meant to have those storm-type sector cloaks.

I simply don't like them but have little choice unless I can over come this creative block I have hit. I was hoping working on ship designs would help me forget about my cat, but really all its doing is seeming like pointless dren.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

What if the Klingons stole or were sold a bio-genetic weapon or material that when applied to a living being, say a Klingon operative, would by its design, mutate the operatives genes to make him look human. Now say that the person, who sold this biogenetic material, or the Klingons by accident, had altered it so that it became a cotangent. IE it would spread throughout the population base of the species that used it, mutating so that it only affected that species.

Lets just say for the sake of argument the Klingons bought this bio-genetic tool, altered it slightly for use with its covert operations, and whole by mistake, created a plague that altered the genetic structure of their race in such a way that they all became human looking.

An accident that epic could be used to explain why the Klingons in Enterprise era look like the Klingons in TNG while the Klingons in theTOS era look human. One could say that they acquired the biogenetic material during the Enterprise era and an accident occured thus mutating them all to look like humans, however by the time the events of TMP occured the Klingons were able to reverse the effects of the mutagen and regain their original apperance.

This would also explain why the Klingons of DS9 era consider the subject of the Klingons of TOS era to be something they do not discuss.

Just a thought.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

I started a solo game of 1.80 at mid-tech as the Romulans. Here are some early observations:

• Mid-tech level should give at least warp core II and nacelle II, shields III, armor, plus low level racial weapons
• Romulan scout ships should be 120kT or so rather than 190kT
• ECM stacks with Romulan sensor array
• I won't bother with weapon damages since those are changing
• Bases can add impulse engines and nacelle bussards
• Bussard ramscoops add too much supplies!

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

Thank you Captain Kwok. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Star Trek Mod - Final Update
 

The new propulsion system has made the current supply model a little iffy, but it can easily fixed up. You'd probably want ships starting at about 1000 total supplies from the Warp Core and moving towards 3000 at max tech. You'll want nacelles to use about 100 supplies combined per turn (50 each), that'd give ships a range of about 1 year to start without additional sources of supply (i.e. anti-matter pods, impulse engines). By max tech, ships could cruise for about 3 years without refueling contending that their journey is uneventful.

What I'd recommend is that you limit Bussard Ramscoops to 2 per ship and make them capable of resupplying at max tech about 50-60% of ship's propulsion needs. Make weapons take up a larger chunk of supplies when used so active combat ships will need to be re-supplied more often.

Is it me or do nacelles not require mounts to downsize them for smaller ships??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif
