Re: Ship AIs that talk to each other

Compilers can do a lot, but the coder should look at a profile as well. In one project (Hat random container (http://home.comcast.net/~anglewyrm/hat.html)), when I profiled the code, I found out that...

Re: The Star Trek Mod - New Version Available

If the problem exists in stock, then it is not the mod. If the problem does not exist in stock, but does exist in the mod, then it is in the mod.

Re: The Star Trek Mod - New Version Available

I guess I was unclear: The AI transport minister is sending transports on impossible missions. The entire fleet of transports are stuck in a loop. Each ship gets low on gas, and is told to go home,...

Re: Planet Creation

Maybe if the ship moves somewhere else, then other 'hidden things' use up a random number. Which are different from dice in that we can see the future of a random number line, but we cannot see the...

How do I save ship designs?

When I save an empire to file from the main menu, it asks me "Do you wish to save your designs with your empire?" And I answer yes. When I start a new game, and load that empire as a player, then I...

Ok, thanks -- I'll redesign my transports to include a sattelite layer, and deploy some warp-point monitors.
