[quote who="Major Stress" reply="333" id="2652804"]I updated the readme about enabling other mods with TOP. Which i no longer recommend. Due to the different planet, and skybox meshes, and the fact other mods override our optimized files.[/quote] I did get a cheap laugh out of the "crack in space and time" glitch in the skyboxes when I ran opti and DS together lol
BadTune
[quote who="SivCorp" reply="328" id="2651370"]Edit: Or maybe on constructor ships.... The Vassari Constructor is 2395 Faces?!? Each planet gets 3 right? So on large maps thats.... TO MANY! I'm going to start with these little buggers first.[/quote]=O *hands Siv a blacksmith's hammer* HERE!! smooth those little bastards out!! You can never trust anything that LOOKS like a flea
*climbs back up out of smoking remains of a computer* Okay! so, that didn't work. Was trying to fix the "OMG there's a tear in space and time!!" mesh goof up when running opti and DS together. Mini-dumped-very-hard @_@, copying over the skybox mesh alone didn't work,(well it sorta did, but it created extra paths and the 2 new skyboxes in the DS folder are listed as 1 and 2 and the ones in opti are 1 -8 so yeah >.>) anyway it worked for a while but with the files like that it
hmm, well in that case I suppose that would be right, but you'll have to do something about them so they aren't efficient enough to replace the heavy frigates, otherwise people would abuse them and make them the replacement for their fleet simply because of the additional abilities and raised damage, we have to give them a hindering trait like, a lower hull cap but higher shield, cap for advent allied ships, or something along those lines, but we can't make them too useless as to never be bui
Let's go with the less powerful cap-ship. You can add some skills that can make up for it's lower firepower, and I'd agree more with Advent/Vasari, you could give it that heavy beam skill we talked about ^^ have high powered beams hitting multiple targets in front of it with the barrage targeting system and save something else for the other advent, if you think you can you could see about cycling it between the vasari/advent beam types per shot as well as a culture "pod" or such for the Vasar
yeah it is the latest DS. As for the green plasma, I like it, adds color ;p(I don't use it often though.) The portrait issue though, there isn't a bug problem with it, only thing is when selecting a race you gotta right click(go backwards) to sift through, the other way sticks on TEC lol, still good though. I'd like someone to get that orbital defense platform mod up and running again, I think it'd add some good aspects to the dynamic movements mod(hey the ship engines got an upgrade,
something unimportant and probably not really necessary to change lol but the DS fighters/bombers don't show up in the A,HA ships, but then again not a big issue, probably not even needed to change. Just somethign to look at if you want to change it, I'm fine either way [e digicons]:grin:[/e] .
pssh yeah if they have allies ;p
Fail: Nutbutters! Win: Scapegoats 20% off, blame it on them! Get away with everything =D now only $1 more than you currently have!(warning, price raises $1 each time you gain $1, limited time only, non refundable don't call us we know who you are and what you want, stare at this line and we'll trace your IP....answer the door)
yeah, Stardock's techies make an oops now and again and hafta add a hotfix(unfortunately it's usually right after everyone updates their mods to the current update, just to redo the process again) so DS and the rest are just releasing patches for their updates which is alot faster and easier anyway and smaller dl all together.
I'm more talking about people not forming a coherent sentence than misspelling or a little word misplacement ;p everyone's guilty of that, and yes, spell check is a great assist no matter who's typing xD
lol, anyway back on topic, the new release as the fused bit of DS the player portraits are repeating in the 2nd and 3rd windows(1 is 1, 1 is 2, 2 is 3) think you fixed this before with the brush files but I'm probably wrong lol. anyway just letting you know p.s. I wanna smack people who say "lol" instead of just laughing when you're standing right there
The internet corrupts us all eventually with its acronyms and abbreviations(case and point America On Line>AOL>AIM and abbreviated abbreviation, the English teachers of the world wept that day). at least you don't talk like this."hey r u ding any atm?" I block those people immediately >.> you were taught grammar in the 2nd grade!! USE IT!!! (spelling too) (text speech is my biggest pet peeve lol) Tune~
*rocks back and forth in the corner shivering* th-the pirates th-the pi-Ryat-es are c-coming , a-a-all hands, s-s-save my chia-pet
Fail: all the girls have gas Win: but they paid admission
@GoaFan77 Yeah it is, but if it's a larger map it can do a nasty number on extended system colonization ;p good for you bad for them. but yeah it really is a long game plan not a short one lol. Still, as advent it also does quite well for uncovering just about everything on the map.
if you want a good map for figuring your way around the tech trees and such "Systems Of War" is always a nice one, all the enemies are just 1 Sun away. Personally Culture is a method of victory I enjoy ^^ Advent make this kind of win possible ;). Aside from this, the Advent are heavily geared towards Strike craft and culture "The unity and anima" and such. The Tec have a higher economic standing than the others and a cheaper ship cost and with the right techs a fast producer of sed ships as w
The music's better too Ryat....and..the pirates...*eyes bug out and start to shudder* th-the pirates *falls over in the fetal position sucking thumb* Starbases with full weapons and armor upgrades with the full amount of defensive platforms around them, the horror, the horror...it was all gone so suddenly ;.;. Anyway yeah the Optimization Mod fixes alot of stuff for ALL versions of the game, Sooooooo handy. Though the skyboxes get super iffy when you run DS and TOP together xD half gree
I have, I ally them all and watch them fight while I set up my novaliths(if Tec) or Starbases in every world(includeign theres) as Advent with evangelisim upgrades. "You have outlived your usefulness to my cause! you, and all your race shall be exterminated for this! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA*cough cough cough* LOZENGE!!"
Caps lock is your friend when modding ;p (or if you're just plain wierd like me you hold down shift with your pinky and type the whole thing out) [e digicons]>_>[/e]
Lets just all agree the best race is usually the last one standing ;p
Fail: the cheese is furry Win: Grilled chicken is your master
I say ya make it big and flashy and something spreading out like a wave to the edge of the effective area, y aknow, flashy and pretty =3
Fail: because no one wants you to lead Win: I live ON the beach =D
I had another nice idea for an advent cap ship ability. You know how Tec have the dreadnought and it's (if used properly) fleet spanking barrage skill. I was thinking something along those lines but solid, held beams, regular sized with something like surges, large pulses running thought them(see Independence Day's white house destruction for a visual) you could use the sfx for the anti-antimatter ability for the battleship class(who's name escapes me atm and is irritating myself for fo
