Re: Okay so what do you think?

Will you be able to divulge any information on abilities...

What I mean is, there were a number of abilities which were "switched off" in the code, any of these activated, and any new ones added?...

Re: Component Lister

Is there anything else like this I could be doing, usefully?

Like I said, I'm (still) learning VC++ and want to get a bit more practical experience (only way I'll learn anything). Nothing too...

Re: Armor, Shields and Damage (FAQ)

It should not stack - this represents damage resistance on one part of the hull.

I suppose fighters can fly in such a way that they can focus their fire on one point on the hull, bLasting through....

Re: Stupid Newbie Question(s): Yes, I\'m the one doing the asking. =)

No, just create a new empire yourself. You will be allowed the choose the race pics. You will have to choose all the settings yourself though, so it may not match the designer's intention. But, what...

Regarding the .emp files; depends which shipset you have d/l but not all of them have .emps. Most do - check the zip file you d/l'd, make sure it hasn't extracted them somewhere funny

"Bloodthirsty" should be a record in /data/Happiness.txt
Check there is a record in there
If there is, then the race you are using must have "Bloodthirsty" spelt wrong, or used in the wrong context

Component Lister

I have written a small utility to help me tidy up the mess I've made of my modding.

It will read a component file then output a list, sorting the components by family, or by general group, or by...

Re: Unique Mod Idea: would you play it?

Hey that wasn't magic, it was my Neural Modding Net.

Thinking about it, I would probably find the game frustrating at first. In fact I might just decide to stick to low-tech weapons, and wait.

"Undead" - possibly, with indestructible ships. (Really! - but it's not always a good thing)

Re: making \"one-shot\" components

Already ahead of you there...

The hull requires 100% cargo spaces.
The weapon component counts as cargo.
So you can have the warheads, or useless cargo items like sat launchers

Re: Better AI Idea - modders please read

Even better than telling us the rules for state change, give us control!

Re: Do the Religious Shrines work?

Re: New features I would like to see>>>>

But aha, when you are generating WP automtically using the "Generate Map Now" within game, then only one "WP Stellar Abil Type" is used to generate each WP pair.

So we would need two abilities......

Re: New features I would like to see>>>>

Area effect weapons sound good in theory, but until we get better control over fleet formations, and AI combat, they would be a real risk.

Other ideas;
