Combining FQM and TDM?

Btw- Fyron, it seems the settings.txt in your mod is missing lines at the bottom. Is ther a reason for that?

Ok, saw your answer, thx.

Fyron, hate to be a pest, but another question.
I just noticed in your StellarAbilityTypes.txt under "Normal Asteriods" poss abilities=23, but end of the group, after #23, it has a #100 ability. Should it be there?
Reason I found it was i was thinking to edit out the asteriod damage as per mephs observation, that's too bad it was a nice feature.

The #100 is a legacy from some beta Version I was working on at one point. You can go ahead and delete it if you want.

Actually, it might also be better to copy the DefaultStrategies.txt and Formations.txt files from FQM Deluxe to TDM. Those files in FQM Deluxe are from the Ultimate Strategies Mod, which has the formations from TDM in it.

ok Fyron, I will I wasn't sure if they would cause problems with TDM so i'd left them out.

Thanks

Ok, I have written up some instructions files.

Check them out, and tell me if there are any problems. They will be included in all future releases of FQM. They are already on the FQM web site.

The instructions are for TDM mod, but they can work for any other mod too. Just replace TDM with the name of whatever mod you want. Select one of the following links, depending on whether you want to combine FQM Standard or FQM Deluxe:
Combining TDM+FQM Standard -- link
Combining TDM+FQM Deluxe -- link

Below is the modifications I made to Fyron's "StellarAbilityTypes.txt" to prevent the AI trying to dispel the asteriods as per Meph's observation. I'd post it but darned if I can figure how to do that here, hmm. Used to be able to, ah well, it's an easy edit.

I'm expecting that the AI will leave the damaging warp points alone. Maybe that's hoping for too much.
