Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

A big bug was reported in the Torpedo system of the mod and it was not included in the 1.2.6 patch. I have fixed the problem and here is the File STM 1.2.6 Component Fix

PLEASE INSTALL this to your 1.2.6 Version of the STM, thanks.

WARNING!!! I'm fairly certain that replacing SectTypes.txt WILL screw up the maps for any saved games.

After looking at the SectTypes.txt for ver 1.2.5 I'm fairly certain that it has at one point been saved by SE4Moddr. You can tell by the order things are placed in. ie in the default file after planet with pic 224 there is a star with pic 225. in the messed up file this is followed by another planet with pic 300 (a ringworld). While I think the order things are in in SectTypes does not matter when creating new games it appears to be very important for saved maps and saved games.

What is happening is this: A map is created with the default SectTypes that has a star with image 225. If this map is loaded with the faulty SectTypes.txt the game goes down to the 225th entry (were Star 225 was in the original file) and finds the planet with image 300 and uses it.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">So yes I think a game started under Version 1.2.5 the map will not look right in ver 1.2.6.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

A game started in 1.2.5 with the map will necessarily be screwed up to begin with, as the map was made with the correct SectType.txt file, not with the weird one in 1.2.5.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

Alas, 1.2.5 was an utter failure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif No matter how hard I try, each Version has a major bug in it that later Version fix, but at the cost of creating a new bug.

Sorry about the save games. That is why I recommend keep seperate Version folders. I do and this way I can make improvements to the mod while still being able to play my old save games.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

Don't worry about it. I am sure Adamant Mod has dozens of bugs I am not aware of. Bugs crop up all the time. Heck, P&N 3.1b had some 8 releases before all the bugs were squashed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

Just to add my two pence *grin* to the thread -

Well done, good patch Atrocities very well done.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion

Ditto. Considering the depth of the Star Trek Mod the bugs I've seen are very minor.
