Re: Private Message Notification Area

I am aware of that. It doesn't make the notification area any more usable.

Private Message Notification Area

Would it be possible to make the "Private Messages" display pop a bit more when there is a new, unread message? Maybe add a subtle yellow-green background color and border of the whole Private...

Re: New link for SE4Modder

Pretty sure the project was ended.

Re: Proportions and Balance mod for SE4 Gold?

Balance Mod is a SE5 mod. One place to look for mods is on the SE Wiki:

Re: Welcome Star Legacy Development Group!

All of those are literally attempts to make the combat engine approximate reality (which is intrinsically real time). "IGO-UGO" is about the least fair and balanced combat mechanic that can be...

Re: Diablo 2

Definitely install the expansion disk; it's not worth playing Diablo 2 without the expansion at this point. If you can't log on to battle.net after installing it, you will need to manually install...

Re: 32 bit Bitmaps

That sounds like premature optimization to me.

Zero-padding the raw data is surely going to increase load times by increasing I/O operations to load from disk. The shift operations necessary to...

Re: 32 bit Bitmaps

I know of Microsoft's DIB insanity... but does anyone else actually use 32 bit bitmaps in the real world?

32 bit Bitmaps

What purpose, exactly, does a 32 bit Bitmap file serve? There are only 24 possible bits of color in the format (8 each of RGB).. Is there some weird CMYK bitmap format that is commonly created with...

Re: SE IV: Eating Captured Population

The population modifiers either do not take negatives, or cannot bring final growth rate below 0 (depending on ability). Thus, the impossibility.

Re: Questions about the Settings.txt file

Maybe the solution was to simply comment out the Warp Flash entry, then. It's a simple edit to the file to kill the animation entirely; I just forget which it was. Place // at the start of every line...

Re: Questions about the Settings.txt file

There are only 14 main empires available in the stock game, thus the default setting. There can be up to 20 empires in a game of SE. If you want to increase this setting to get more main empires and...

Re: Diablo 2

Whether you buy a new copy or use the one you already have, you'll get the exact same executables after applying the latest patch... You just won't have the expansion content with your original copy....

Re: music for MP3 player

I'd have to second the last.fm recommendation. It's way better for music discovery than stuffy spectral comparison sites like Pandora. Like Amazon, they've also got a bunch of random free music to...

Re: A favor...

No JPG! Use PNG for lossless compression. With JPG, you cannot re-mod graphics (without original lossless sources), since every save adds more distortion and destroys more color data. Not so...

Re: SE IV: Eating Captured Population

The only remotely close way to simulate such a thing in SE4 would be to space the offending aliens (load them into a cargo ship/base, then jettison cargo).

Re: Which to start with? 4 or 5?

The last person that was posting about this on se5.com could not get the US patch to apply to a freshly installed UK English version, and had to apply a patch first.

Re: [SE V] Patch Support for European Versions

You can apply the latest US English patches to the UK English version, so long as you apply a fairly recent UK patch first.

Re: fleet strategy question

"Long range attack" will just make them charge forward and fire at the maximum range of the weapons mounted on them. AFAIK, SE4's combat AI will not keep them out at 12 squares distance if they have...
