It is not the patch. I have my game all changed around with 2.5.5.0 and it works fine. I just set my starting prestige to 50,000 and even set the BPV range so fine that I got the ship I picked that way given to me as the starting ship. There is something else wrong. Your problems sound like the Read Only function is not turned off, but since you claim that is not the problem I'm not sure what's happening. The only other thing I can think of is that you are not starting a fresh campaign after each change you make. You mentioned you are using a mod. I would look there first. Try removing the mod and doing it on a clean copy that is stock.

Do you honestly think I havent tried that, yes I deleted the entire mod, reinstalled the game, made sure the read only function was disabled, i even left the game unpatched freash out of the CD and I remember toiling with the starting pts in the past, worked fine, now it seems not to work, i cant explain it

What are you using to edit the files?

[nx_adam_1701]

I just open the , for instance the character one, change 50 to 250, close, it saves, bc the readonly is off, and start a campagign, i mean its nutz, then nothing it remains in 50

Does it do the same thing with others races? Or just Feds and Roms? How many races are on the map? are u also doing the same 2v2 alliance with your other races?

Check the other race to make sure you have 2v2 settings on the other end.

NP adam. When I saw that I figured it was a symptom if not the cause. I made everybody the ISC's best buddies with your file after that so I guess it does work.  

[nx_adam_1701]

thx, but the situation was solved, thanks everybody for all of your input and ideas, I really appreciate your help, not even taldren stepped in, thanks

Possibly he had saved games that were from before the changes? That effects some tinkering with files.

[Towelie]

  It was funny, because he sent me his metamap.gf file and it worked fine on mine. Strange that OP was using the backup copy.

[Corbomite]

I had him send me the entire Single Player folder. He had too many files in there and I think it confused the program because it couldn't match one to a map function.

  A humble note to you, Admin: Just let comments like Adam's go. Taldren's "honour" is secure enough...there's no need to be Don Quixote. A message brought to you by SghnDubh's School of Hard Knocks.  

[nx_adam_1701]

Hmmmm, how they respond to an insignificant comment, but to a cry for help, it goes on deaf ears lol lol hey admin, calm down no need to get the panties twisted up, it aint that serious, and I do appreciate the fact that the company created this forum, but dont think im going to praise you for it

[nx_adam_1701]

and as for your comment SghnDubh, I rarely say anything offensive around here, nope disregard that, I say nothing offensive so please dont refer to my comments as if I said anything wrong, Taldren to you might be GOD but to some of us, there just a company

[nx_adam_1701]

and another thing is that; that comment was said because for one week I couldnt log on to the site, and I was contacting taldren for help, because if you dont log in, you cant post or send  private messages to anyone, so what do you do, well contact taldren, I sent like 3 emails, and no one answered back, I had to get someone else to help me out, so I was a little pissed off, but I didnt say anything bad, and i certainly dont like being treated as if i did, especially from someone who doesnt even know the whole story

[KRolling]

Well, since they are all just sitting around doing nothing, I don't understand why they didn't answer.  The nerve!!!  

Glad everything worked out for you!! It can be so frustrating.

[Toasty0]

Actually I can't wait to help Adam once again.

Top o' my list of things to do in my busy schedule. Can't imagine doing anything else.  

[Towelie]

  It shouldn't be Taldren's responsiblity to help mod a game or to assist on a modded game. That's our job not theirs once it's been modified. There is too much that can go wrong once you alter it.
