Re: Drones, noticed something odd...

Notice the damage they do with an anti-planet warhead against a ship though... Only ram damage. The warhead does not go off. I have checked this personally and the drone hits but not for 400...

Re: Star Trek Based Tech Mod

Hey S.J. What does your ai patcher do? Is it just a tool to convert standard races to gold or does it actually help modify ai files without having to open every .txt doc for every ai and going line...

Re: Proportions mod 1.5 released

Re: Proportions mod 1.5 released

Did you actually manage to change armor so that it isn't "destroyed first" but actually blocks some damage in 1.5? How did you manage to do that? I may just be missing an obvious but I've been...

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

Yeah I'm sure on the negative happiness. I checked it negative and positive and the effects were definately backwards. Started new game and just ran a few turns with the homeworld start it gave me....

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

Very odd. City happines modifiers set to 5 creates unhappiness. Set to -5 creates happiness. I thought someone tried and negative modifiers didn't work for that. The question is in gold the urban...

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

Hey PvK. I think I may have found a glitch in proportions. Check the happiness.txt file and make sure that the modifiers that are supposed to make people happy have a - in front of them. I'm...

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

In finite it takes resource from your pool and puts them back into the planet instead of just taking them away. I fixed the cultural thing sort of... I got rid of them. Mostly they duplicated...

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

Yeah, for finite resources I may have to tone down cultural centers a bit. My purpose for trying to add maintenance to research and intel is to prevent larger empires from overwhleming smaller ones...

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

I figured that the resources thing was somethin like that. I modified the production curve down to what the sy rate was at in the settings modifiers, just kinda made more sense to me. I kinda like...

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

I added -25 minerals -100 organics and -25 radioactives to the research center. The interesting thing is that on a new planet it comes out to -6 -25 -6. Be interesting to see if the cost increases...

Hey Pvk, you're the one who made the proportions mod right? I love it but I've made a few changes to it. I lowered the cost of cities a bit and added a negative resource cost per turn to research...

Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!
