Please note that the shiplist may frequently be updated. So keep an eye out here for changes.

Please feel free to login and play whatever you like. Make sure to report oddities here. Keep an eye out for anything unusual. Please note, alliances have not been adjusted as yet of Saturday. The server will reset often and the stardates will vary as testing continues.

Test moved to D.net to get ready to go live...
Last Edit: January 17, 2005, 12:58:29 pm

Installer updated: http://fire.prohosting.com/astinky/SGO4/SGO4.exe or http://members.lycos.co.uk/astinky/SGO4/

Webmap up: http://www.dynaverse.net/webmap_op/

Intended use: install over OP+4 when you wish to logon the SGO4 server, uninstall when you wish to play on OP+4 or another mod on gamespy or when the server is done. The installer backs up your current files and restores them on uninstall. The installer will not install over itself so original backup files are preserved if you accidentally reinstall the SGO4 mod. It will produce an error and cancel the SGO4 mod install if OP+4 is not already installed.
Server info and an uninstall link are created in an "SGO4" folder on your start menu.
Be aware this is for the test, the shiplist (and installer) very well may change. Please report any problems with the download, installer or uninstaller (seperately from shiplist issues).

All races are as they are when you login excpet these:

To play as Lyran, login as Klink (shared).
To play as Mirak, login as Hydran (shared).
To play as Tholian, login as Mirak.
To play as ISC Pirate allies, login as Lyran.

DH, the ISC bases need to be added to the Lyran list.

They wont be. I explained that in the 1st post.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...... where?

C-Los · « **Reply #6 on:** January 09, 2005, 08:44:13 am »

Got a "Base Assault" mission in a non-base hex...

Killed 2 ships, never saw a Base, mission ended saying I was unsuccessful, did give me 25 pp though....

Def of hex did go down though...

Was in the ISC hexes by Hydran space

That is a gf setting DH will fix. Thx for reporting git.

Might not be for here, but Fighters with Megapacks (ZYCm) are (imho) perhaps a bit too tough.
AMD seems to work against them, but ehy're prteyy much shrugging off any phaser hits they take.
Only time Ive lost 2 from a group was when they were on a CAD when it blew up.

Dizzy · « **Reply #9 on:** January 09, 2005, 10:51:17 am »

The explosion str killed them? Well, that was just all reduced by 30%. So it's unlikely they will get killed by anything now...

This has been noted. And as Dizzysaid, it is being addressed.

I lost a squad of 3 fighters to an explosion of a ship last night.

Since DH has lowered the damage fighters can take (in exchange for them being more like SFB figters) I recommended he lower the explosion strength of ships.

Check your registry under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FireSoul\opplus] for "Install_Dir" and "version" if it does not say "4.0" for the version and if the install location does not correspond to the copy of OP that you are using, it will not install. No fancy tricks. (do not modify these entries - just check them - if it does not indicate version 4.0 then OP+4.0 has not been installed properly)

P.S. Are you sure you're installing FireSoul's OP+4.0 (accept no substitutes...

)

Did you uninstall OP+3.4 before installing OP+4.0? (one should)

Are you running multiple installs? (to be avoided, because you can have multiple locations of data on disk but they'll all use the same registry entries... and inevitably install folders referenced in the registry will not match the copy one might be running... I have been on one OP install for nearly 3 years now - mods installed and uninstalled nearly daily...)

The Tholian Homeworld is bugged and will cause a crash at some point in the planet mission. This will be fixed in the next shiplist version.

What does this mean is SG4 still on or untill this is fixed.Thanks

Dizzy · « **Reply #15 on:** January 09, 2005, 03:11:31 pm »

The test server is up and running. Login and enjoy. Read 1st post. If a problem is reported, like the thol homeworld, then that particular mission is the only one to avoid to a new D/L is available... So dont go take a tholian HW assault!

Bonk · « **Reply #16 on:** January 09, 2005, 03:38:40 pm »

Looks like base assault missions are still coming up in non-base hexes.

Default and reccomended Missionmatching.gf attached:

Farfarer · « **Reply #17 on:** January 09, 2005, 06:13:06 pm »

For what it is worth, I am usually flummoxed by this stuff. However, I Unnistalled SFBOP, installed OP4, installed SGO.EXE and I got on the test server. I was in shock. I have so match old server crap hanging around too!

FPF-DieHard · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2005, 06:38:22 pm »

Server restarted with Bonk's GIF settings . . .

Hexx · « **Reply #19 on:** January 09, 2005, 06:39:49 pm »

Yeah noticed you cut server connection just as I killed my first Fed.
Coincidence?
I think not.
