Mr. You-Cheng Hsieh i have a question for you about NDF. If i offend you with this than i apologise but i have to know. I found out that originally it was intended that the Federation/Klingon alliance+The Romulans+the Cardassians were to be playable. The ships and everything else are there in the mod however only the Federation/Klingon alliance works as it should. Now bear with me. You told me that if someone else made the other two playable as well it would be steeling. Correct? But what if... someone would make them playable WITHOUT putting his name to it? Than the credit would still go to the orrigenal modders and NOT to the person who made it work as it was intended. In that way i believe it would NOT be steeling. Or am i wrong with this? Unfortunately due to a mental handicap [autism] i can not do this but someone else could. I am not telling YOU to do this or that . I am just asking you if i am right about this.

Bye,Old1.

You didn't offend me. Don't think it that way.

About your question, it might work. But I cannot promise you anything... better let someone else more experienced to answer you.

Are you telling me that you are not experienced ? My god man you are running your own mods. I think that you are experienced enough. I also think that i just made a huge understatement. I think you are over experienced. In the mod there are several read me files which state how the mod was made, now i think that the original moder forgot to put something in it and that is why it is not working all the way but as i said i do not exactly know what i am talking about so i better shut up about it. Bye,Old1. P.S. About the misunderstandings between us, English is NOT my native language. Dutch is. Therefor i am sometimes a bit clumsy in what i put down here.

I just found out that one of the 2 moders who made NDF calls himself WILDCARD. I do not know what his real name is however so i do not think that this will help us any further but maybe you do. In that case you could maybe ask him to fix this mod.

yochenhsieh · « **Reply #4 on:** June 29, 2007, 06:06:23 am »

English is not my native language, either. I use Traditional Chinese(zh_TW).

I'm afraid that I don't know how to contact WILDCARD. Since you are the person who is interested in NDF, I suggest you try ask him yourself.

Old1 · « **Reply #5 on:** June 29, 2007, 10:59:12 am »

I tried to contact him but the message did not get through for some reason. Also the website www.NDFmod.info is an old site which no one keeps up to date. Therefor every time i try one of the links in that site my computer tells me that it can not find the page. In that way i am afraid that contacting him is impossible for me.

Today i discovered something funny you see i downloaded and installed your Reballance expansion mod over the ndf mod. You want to know the result ? All of the ships are yours but the music is of NDF and also when i finnish a mission the credits i receive are the same as in NDF. The advantage of this is that i will be able to go to the bigger ships much sooner than planned. How do i know that about the crdits you would like to ask ? Well , i just did a distress call mission and after destoying the opponent i received 1400 credits. And if memory serves that is more than normal in those missions than i would get if i had not downloaded and installed NDF first.

My mod doesn't change mission credits in order to keep compatibility with original SFC3 single player campaigns. If you mixed many mods in one installation, there're chances that you might get into some problems or anormaly.

Old1 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2007, 04:54:17 am »

I allready got into problems. This is what happend: Allied ships started to lay mines around my ship instead of the enemies ships. Also sometimes i answer a distress call and find only 1 ship in the hex with NO opponents whatsoever.

yochenhsieh · « **Reply #9 on:** July 01, 2007, 05:42:10 am »

And if you meet any problem when mixing my mod with other mods, I will not be responsible for that.

I specified very clearly in the readme file that DON'T install ANY mods before installing my mod. Please understand that the Rebalance Expansion is a one-person project, and I cannot promise that it will work with other mods.

A brief list of compatible missions/utility is also included in the readme. Those are tested by me and they will work with my mod.

Old1 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 01, 2007, 03:13:11 pm »

Please do not worry i erased all of it allready and the original program as well. Now i have reinstalled SFC3 with only YOUR mod and everything works just fine thank you.

yochenhsieh · « **Reply #11 on:** July 01, 2007, 07:38:36 pm »

And I have a news for you: the new version of Rebalance Expansion is almost ready. It will include new missions by a very famous mission scripter in SFC community.

I'm asking him for permissions, if he agreeds then the mod can be released. You don't need to uninstall your current SFC3 if you have my mod, just install the new version over it.

[EDIT]Got his permission. Now compiling final installer...

Old1 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2007, 03:11:46 pm »

So, what i would like to ask is : where is the new one to be found ? By the way, yesterday i was doing a mission called : The Surprise Reversed with a Soulwolf and for no apparent reason all of a sudden my ship blew up. How can that be because no enemy ship was powered up yet so they could not have fired and i had my Shields up anyway if they had fired.

yochenhsieh · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2007, 10:40:58 pm »

It's not released yet. As you mentioned, there're some weird things happened with the missions... I'm now testing them.

Old1 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 14, 2007, 04:55:08 pm »

But when you do release it where can i then find it ?

yochenhsieh · « **Reply #15 on:** July 14, 2007, 07:43:12 pm »

I will of course post an announcement here like what I've done before. You don't need to worry about that.

Old1 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 15, 2007, 05:08:37 am »

I am not worried just curious. O yes one more thing , as it turned out a few days ago i found a virus in my computer that i could only remove by formatting my harddrive so now i have to work without drive accelerators. This means ofcource that my computer works very slow at the moment. Tuesday a mechanic will put the accelerators back and then i will be up to speed again. Till that time i have to make do with what i have. bye,Old1.
