Battlestar Galactica

[Rollo]

okay, got it figured out .
In Campaigndata.txt this fixes the WP:

Map ID := 19
Map Name := Delta
Map Display Name := Delta System
Map Map Filename := Maps_Delta_Map.txt
Map System Type := Cylon
Map Enemy Appearance Group := Cylon System
Map Music Filename := BSG6.mp3
Map Number of Connections := 2
Map Conn 1 Entrance ID := 1
Map Conn 1 Destination Map Number := 18
Map Conn 1 Dest Entrance ID := 2
Map Conn 1 Connection Type := Two Way - Always
Map Conn 2 Entrance ID := 2
Map Conn 2 Destination Map Number := 15
Map Conn 2 Dest Entrance ID := 2
Map Conn 2 Connection Type := Two Way - Always

To fix the display of the Epsilon system correct a typo in Main_QuardrantMap: Epsilon instead of Epsillon

Hope that helps to get a new Version sooner ,
Rollo

Do you think you could not name it Campaign 4? There is little reason to do so, and it might lead to confusion about it being meant as taking place after the 3rd campaign... That, and if everyone starts doing that, there could end up with a lot of Campaign 4s. Also, if MM ever releases a new campaign, it might well be entitled Campaign 4. Arbtrary names are allowed.

Point taken, IF. I'll change the titles accordingly.

In other news, I spotted a problem with the Main_Components.txt file in the patched mod, specifically with the stuff I stole-- er, borrowed, from SJ. The Life Support systems are underpowered for the ammount of crew on a Battlestar, and thus, your crew will start dying off when the game starts (!). I'll revise the patch tomorrow, but until then, if you can open up Main_Components.txt and change the part under "Life Suppport" that reads this:

Effect 1 Type := Prevent Crew Death
Effect 1 Base Amount := 1.0

To instead read this:

Effect 1 Type := Prevent Crew Death
Effect 1 Base Amount := 2.0

your crew will thank you for it.

There are still some references in the Main_Job and Main_DisplayText files to the Abbidon. I had fleet command thank me in the name of the Abbidons once.

The better way to fix that lifesupport issue is to include a second lifesupport component on your ships

Then you can leave the little destroyers and stuff only needing one. (Make sure the appropriate settings are in the purchaseships.txt files)
Adjust "Base Crew death rate" if need be. With the lifesupport providing 1 one ability point, you need the amount specified in BCDR to keep 'em alive.

Yeah, but Battlestars are a little cramped as is, layout wise. I'd rather free up the extra slot (yes, I'm aware I have two 50k Tylium Energizers on the ship when I could get away with just one 100k, but I liked the symetry there ) Besides, I'm thinking a situation might arise in the Third campaign when you might need to get a second LS...

Anyway, I have the new new patch up, which fixes the Basestar armor, the life support issue, and has some massaged text in the mission text area. The full Version is now called "BSG 1 - Colonial Crisis" instead of "Campaign 4" (hokey name, I know, but I was on like 2 hours of sleep at the time). Unfortunately, I haven't made the changes to the Job and Mission text for references-- those will be addressed in the next larger patch, which will also hopefully address the total mess of the basestar layout (arrgh! So ugly! So cluttered! So non-sequential!!!)
