Space Scenario

[Pedrunn]

Thanks IW,
This way i can create different kind of Solar Systems
Although it decides that it will almost impossible to make a mod out of this scenario since the map creation cant be as good as the human to create the Solar Systems.

Unless it is a mod (using modswapper) that you cant start a new game with it. You must load scenarios to play it. I guess this will be the best option (and less work to me since i have already start making in modswapper texts format).

Now the only thing missing to finish the sprite work are the Goods

Pedrunn, I think you could work it into a mod by making all 'planet' placement done by SLIC, and just let it place stars down automatically.

What goods need doing?

Well I am back from the hell which was my week off.

Just finished reading what’s been going off

See I am going to have to go back to the drawing bored again but never mind my tec tree has been planted and I am just putting it into the Game now.

Pedrun have something you may like I have gone into the English folder a bit more and have swap my civ on to some kind of credits instead of gold interested.

I started on some of my slic and hit an iceberg straight out so I will need the wombats slic help soon ( I already got the slic guide he did)

One is how the hell do I pull some slic lines in on the activation of a slaver attack I wanted to put up a mesg box to say do you really want to do this.

[Pedrunn]

I have most of gamedata files. Still need a lot of effort to chnge the english folder and the AI. But not as much of what i have done now. Just to let you guys knw how far we already are.

I see. but do you think we can manage all map creation. after all we have not only the planets but all map is space tile wich i dont know if it will have only one or more types of tiles. And i also got 2 solar system tiles. That are the minority part wich has to come together.
The tiles are the next thing i wll go over after finishing the sprite work (so far only these goods)
I still think it is better to make the scenario first and them the mod. It is like having a demo before the big game. Since i have the idea of the scenario. the mod will require a different tech tree, therefore more buildings and ships than the ones i have tought up until now.
But i do like the mod idea at all. It will be like a whole different game wich i never heard any company ever create. A mixture of strategic turnbased games with space battlle simulations (has anyone played Homeworld).

Funny, the future currency never hit me before. thanks for remind me of that. How hard is to convert gold to credit? Show me what you have.

Seeing that thread also gave me a excitement to try some slic too.
Maybe in a couple years i may post my first slic code.

Future currency

Well it did not take long about half an hour. two word files and a few graphics I will send it to you tomorrow

[Pedrunn]

There are only one bmp for each good since i do not know how many are required.
Here it its the bmp goods:

[Immortal Wombat]

Right back at ya

[Pedrunn]

wow
that was fast

[Pedrunn]

But a modder cant stop working.
Now two more things:

- Could you reduce those ship sprite sizes (human fighter and bomber) you converted to me. To be the same size as their others civ counterparts.

- Do you have a program or show me a free download of one that can convert bmps to tgas?

[Pedrunn]

Off Topic:
WWooohhhhooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been accepted in the Federal medical university (those are better than private ones here in Brazil and more difficult to join) of my state.
Time to celebrate

[The Big Mc]

Hi pedrun got the files you wanted just put the gamedate ones in you English folder and the pics in the default pictures file

And remember to wipe you scenario out.

And congratulations

[Immortal Wombat]

Quick yes, I happened upon the thread, and it just takes a few alpha channels.

Yes. Sorry, I forgot...

Paint Shop Pro? That has a free trial versiono you can get, that will allow you to open bitmaps and save them as targas.
(Did you do all those bmps in MS Paint?? )

[The Big Mc]

Wombat will you help me out on a few problems

1

how do you trigger an event when an order is carried out eg slaver

2

is there any way I can back up my personal msg from Apolyton to my hard drive

HandleEvent(-put-an-event-here-) 'name' pre {
// etc
}
Then just choose an event from this list. I think the one you are looking for is either SlaveRaidCity or SlaveRaidOrder. SlaveRaidOrder will give you the order, but won't distinguish between whether or not you actually can raid that city.
You're trying to give a warning message yeah? I think I'd go with SlaveRaidOrder, then interrupt there, and message.

Only by copy-pasting the contents of each one to a text file, or saving the actual webpage (File->Save As).
