Any suggestions?  The honor system?  Will the AI necessarily take advantage of the super-early availablility???

Thanks,

1.   Use Missions which DO NOT use drones that are faster than Speed 16 . ..
2.  Set Drone prices to be outlandiashly expensive on the D2 (1,000,000 PP each) so nobody can afford an upgrade.

No way, I suppose, to tell the AI which drones to use no matte which drones are available???

Talk to the Scripters like Tracy G, Karnak, and Evil Dave.  They'll know more about this and can tell you which missions to use when putting this on e D2 9if you intend on doing so).

I haven't really thought about what I intend to do with it.... At first it was just for my personal use in single player, and now it seems to be becoming a full fledged mod!!! That's cool though.  

First, however, I'd like to concentrate on getting it to work in single player before I worry about the D2.

So is it possible to script out the medium and fast missles until years 39 and 52 respectively???

I thought that scripts were only for individual missions, not overall game settings.....

The game doesn't run now!!!


I put my new shiplists in the various places and the new time.gf file and now all I get is a ovely view of my desktop when I try to start a campaign.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Start a new campaign.  You may have to delete all of the saves.  

[mdutr0]

I did.


Do I have to alter the fighter list as well?/???


Thanks,

Micah  

[The Postman]

If you dont change the fighter list, you will see Raven III's in 2243.  

[mdutr0]

Yes, but why doesn't the game run at all????

Did you replace the files in MetaAssets?  

[mdutr0]

yep sure did....


There's not a time.gf file anywhere else is there?

Thanks,

Micah  

[mdutr0]

 It still won't run!!!

 Does the game have a time limit on it? Does it have a limit as to how far you can roll back the clock???

Thanks,

You tried to make all your changes at once.  One or more of them does not work.

Try making just the date change with stock shiplists and other files and see if that works - then make one change at a time to see which one breaks it.

[mdutr0]

Excellent idea Sethan!

So.... I did that and now it works for some odd reason....

But now, if you look at the dates that the ships come out in the vessel library screen, it has the ships coming out 34 years LATER than they are supposed to....

Was I supposed to alter the SFB dates in the shiplist as well??

Thanks,

Before the OP 2552 patch that fix the med. drone implementation date to Y2268, I had intended to make all AI use slow drones in Early Era. However; now with the patch if I did that then med. drones would not appear until Y2273 so I don't think I want to do that in the EEK missions.  

I have a simple and dirty solution. Since the Early Era from 2229 to 2260 is pretty stable in ship advancement why not just draw out the turn time on the dyna between Y2263 and Y2267.  Make each dyna turn take 4 or 5 days so it will take 20 to 25 days to get from Y2263 to Y2267.  Then you can use the YFA settings to correspond to decades instead of years so 1 year would roughly equal one decade.  The stardate on the actual dyna does not have to be accurate, just the actual passage of time for the dyna to complete.
