Does anyone realize there's no I.D. for the "Simitar" in 534b of S.F.C.III?
« on: December 23, 2004, 03:41:14 pm »
Ladies and Gentlemen,I've been playing S.F.C.III with the 534b Patch. Has anyone noticed,besides myself,that when you target the Reman Warbird "Simitar" in the game,instead of getting the Name,Health,and Speed of said Warbird,You get that annoying "???",instead? Shouldn't the Programers and Modders of Taldren and of this August Community be made aware of this so a Patch can be created to fix this most unfortunate error? And,in a like vein,Does anyone know the status of the S.F.C.III Patch Petition that was started in the StarTrek Gamers Universe Website Forum? Thank You,very much,one and all,for your time. Happy Holidays! Joseph L. Rand.(RJLRand@aol.com)

First I'd like to say that the Scimitar was an add on package and not part of the original store released game..

Second, Taldren is closed down and they are the only ones who could have made a patch...

Third, I am curently working on SFC 3 v534_b patch, which I compiled, to try to incorporate several items into SFC 3 such as a little better balance and ships getting more racially diverse on their stock ships by having adjusted weapon arcs.. plus fixing some hardpoint locations on some models...


Anyhow... as for the petition.. how can you petition a company that is closed down... Official SFC support is ended and gone with the closing of Taldren.. Activision does not have the liscense or the intellectual property rights to even touch the SFC 3 game engine source code... as such, they can in no way ever create a patch on their end.. all coding for SFC 3 was created and worked on exclusively by Taldren....

Sorry.

Pestalence and Stephen,Gentlemen,First of all,I could have sworn the last current Patch I downloaded for S.F.C.III was v534b. However,Pestalence,Sir,Whatever that last current Patch was before the one you're currently working on,is the one I'm using for S.F.C.III. I think the I.D. is 1.01 534. So,Pestalence,would it be too forward of me to ask how soon the v534-b Patch will be ready for myself and the S.F.C. Gaming Public to download? Not that I want to rush you,mind you,but a small hint would be greatly appreciated,Sir. Stephen,I've been alternating between this Forum and the Startrek Gamers Universe Forum,off and on during the weekends and this holiday season. And,I've been playing S.F.C.III as the Federation recently on said weekends and holiday season. I still can't get past that "Expletives Deleted"! "Elusive Quarry" Mission playing as the Fedreration. Maybe,Pestalence can do something about that in the v534-b Patch he's currently working on? Anyway,I noticed that "???" targeting error with the "Simitar" while I was playing in the Campaign Mode in S.F.C.III with whatever the last latest Patch is and thought someone should be made aware of it and possibly try to fix it. However,that it seems,is in the "Lap of the Gods". Happy Holidays,Gentilemen,and Thank You,very much,for your very kind indulgence of my question and request. Joseph L. Rand.(RJLRand@aol.com)

All I can say joey is that I am working on it.. I can't give an ETA opn the completion of the upgraded version of v534-b .. currently I am working on the Models themselves.. unfortunately I am not as versed in 3D Studio as I would like to be and I am going slowly to make sure I don't screw things up... I am editing 1 HP.. then testing in game.. edit another HP, then test in game.. it takes a long time and seeing as how I only have mainly the weekends to work on it.. it is going to take a while... however, since I came back to SFC.. i have done 4 models now and working on the 5th...

so please bear with me as I do this.. after which, I need to adjust the arcs in the specs files, then adjust for balance in the common settings folder.. It will need a lot of testing once the balance is being addressed.. also I am looking for 2 models to incorporate into SFC 3 for the F-BB and K-BB.

anyhow, I hope that this helps things for you.. as far as things in the game engine itself, I am unable to alter anything in that section....

Pestalence,Sir,Please take your time. My temperment in this matter is the same as any other gamer,old or young,I'd much rather you take your time and do the Patch right the first time than have you rush through it and end up with a Patch full of bugs and errors. And,I'm sure the Ladies and Gentlemen of this August Forum would agree with me on this point. However,I must confess I let my greed for a new S.F.C.III Patch,not to mention my curiosity,get the better of my common sense. I apoligize for that,Sir. Remember the words of The "Black Prince" from the movie "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad","He who is Patient,Obtains!" I and the Gamers of this Forum,wish you nothing but success in your Patching Endevours,Sir. Happy Holidays and Thank You,verymuch,for your time,Sir. Joseph L. Rand.(RJLRand@aol.com)
