Update to all Sci-Fi races?
 

Any updates to all of the Scifi races for Gold ver 1.67? Her are a list of the races I'm hoping to be updated soon:
Colonials, Star Wars Empire I,II,III, SW Rebelion, Star Trek races, Babylon 5

Re: Update to all Sci-Fi races?
 

The colonials will be updated in the next tdm patch.

Patience my young Padawan.

Re: Update to all Sci-Fi races?
 

I also have a question. I am creating my own mod using 50 different races including, but not limited to, a majority of the Sci-Fi races.
Question:
Do I need permission from the original designer to include and update the races to fit my tech's?

Also a comment to whoever did the Vorlon and Centauri. DAMN FINE JOB! Those 2 races are a constant thorn/threat.

Re: Update to all Sci-Fi races?
 

It is polite to ask the orginal creators and to respect their wishes as alot of work has gone into each.
Also for each race that is granted, you should give credit.
You will find that most if not all will allow you to use their sets.

Thanks. I worked with Oleg on the Vorlons. I put together the Centauri ship sets. I did a little modding of the AI from other Users. I think its been update by other since. SO alot of people have had their hands on it. Glad to see they are tough to play against. I'm playing a game right now in ver 1.49 that they are dangerous.

The Star Trek Races have all been updated as of a month ago. Tested and working fine.

You need to update your klingon speech file, you are 2 ver behind.
I have posted the newest one in the mod section.

Your link at the bottom of your tag needs to be updated to pull the new klingon AI.

One Last thing,
I noticed you have baseship picture in your set named BS.bmp, if you rename it Baseship.bmp
The default VechicleSize.txt should call it in place of the Starbase.bmp for the Baseship
So you can now have both the starbase and the Baseship with different pictures.

Re: Update to all Sci-Fi races?
 

Thanks Dracus, but I'll leave that up to the people who download the set for now. I change edit the text to work with BS. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

VehicleSize.TXT in the DATA folder:

Scroll down too:

Name := Baseship
Short Name := Baseship
Description :=
Code := BA
Primary Bitmap Name := Baseship
Alternate Bitmap Name := Starbase
Vehicle Type := Ship
Tonnage := 2500
Cost Minerals := 1500
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 0
Engines Per Move := 1
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Ship Construction
Tech Level Req 1 := 9
Number of Abilities := 1
Ability 1 Type := Combat To Hit Defense Minus
Ability 1 Descr := Large size makes base 40% easier to hit in combat.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 40
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Requirement Must Have Bridge := True
Requirement Can Have Aux Con := True
Requirement Min Life Support := 5
Requirement Min Crew Quarters := 5
Requirement Uses Engines := True
Requirement Max Engines := 2
Requirement Pct Fighter Bays := 0
Requirement Pct Colony Mods := 0
Requirement Pct Cargo := 0

Change the:
Name := Baseship
Short Name := Baseship
Description :=
Code := BA
Primary Bitmap Name := Baseship

To:
Name := Baseship
Short Name := Baseship
Description :=
Code := BA
Primary Bitmap Name := BS

OR simply rename the Race_Mini_BS and the Race_Portrait_BS image included with each set to Race_Mini_Basehip and Race_Portrait_Baseship.

When I update the Races again, I will do this, but for now, the player can. Besides, its easy and it teaches the new folks how to do some basic game editing.

Acually I'd suggest renaming the files, not changing the vehiclesizes.
The name Baseship has alway been the official name for baseship pictures.
