Have you gotten around to reading those ideas Mr Devourer of Brains? Mostly curious for feedback and all.

It's a good back story and concept for the research tree's. On the TEC, Advent and Vasari integration trees having a heavily pre-requisite based tree where you can jump advancements in integration would be interesting. This way if you could mixed bag it or focus on higher tier TEC from the factions. Though all research would be available if the game went on long enough.

Not sure how the Alliance type tech tree would fit as it seems the integration research techs would sorta fill that purpose.

plus the number of research tree's are fixed... 3 military, 1 defense, 3 civilian, 1 diplomacy and 1 fleet.

I could see the 3 civilian and military be the Advent, Vasari, Tech integration type paths. Defense might be somewhat interesting like integrating moving technology with a TEC starbase buildout, etc. There's lots of defense Technologies that could be integrated.

Diplomacy really doesn't need to change too much really.

 

Now design me out the research trees for this and I'll build it

This led me to a thought. Is it possible to base a research prerequisite on another research being NOT researched, in order to possibly diversify a faction through research? If so, have you toyed with the thought?

I think this could add a cool change in the way people play, in terms of techs and researches and units/buildings the players can unlock.

For instance, you could make a player more defensive than normal, or more offensive than normal, such as certain researches benefiting ship damage whereas another path could benefit defensive structures' damage, but you could only choose one path, so if you choose the first research tech in that 'tree' of researches for damage, the other path is no longer available. 

Heck, how many techs are allowed per tier? i could design that for you, and in fact i'd love to help a mod out for once. It would just take time and a list of the researches per faction (i could make that myself if you don't already have one).

Hey. You may remember me, you may not. Regardless...

I LOVE the mod. It is loads of fun!

But whenever I play on any of the maps in the third category (The one with the Huge Random, Grindstone, etc), every time I play one of those maps, regardless of how many planets, or what setup I use, it minidumps.

 

I even tried on Grindstone with myself and 3 other factions only. Minidump...

My settings are High_Low_Low, and all special effects are turned off. And I know I have a good computer. I can run Bailknight's without a problem unless I take it to the extreme.

Any thoughts on what I should do? I don't really want to play again until I have something to try. All I can think of is to convert to BIN format, but I don't know if that'll do anything...

EDIT: This is how I'm feeling right now: http://nooooooooooooooo.com/

1. I understand that you try to enable only:

faction1, faction2, core  

2. try to run the game by dev.exe (you can find them in game directory), and see what error it will show when minidumps.

Running SotF with the Dev is impossible for me, I'm afraid.

Need to ensure the following is set in your diplomacy user settings when you run debug.

ShowErrors FALSE

Hmm... Shouldn't be any issues with that.

Dump on map start? 1-2 hours in?

What are you specs?

Well, I get so many missing text erros, mainly stuff about the Archailect.

The dumps happen anywhere from 20 minutes to 40 minutes in.

No idea. I'm not good with computers, so I wouldn't know.

Sorry, I edited my reply I meant to put in a statement about show errors. Of course if your looking for why the mini-dumped happen that won't help much. Though I doubt you would get a popup anyway.

What are your specs then?

Is there anything particular you are doing when you dump?

Do you have a save file? and if so which version are you running?

 

Edit - I'm running a test game with those settings. I'll let you know if it dumps or not.

Edit 2 - Test game ran to completion.

Ok, just changed my ShowErrors to FALSE. Never knew about that. Thanks!

I don't think I'm doing anything particular. Just capturing planets.

No I do not.

Like I said, I don't know about computers, so I wouldn't know (Specs).

What Video settings should I run?

Google is your friend

Click on your windows start button and type dxdiag.

This will show you your CPU, RAM, Video Card, etc

You should update all your drivers (sound, vga, mainboard/ chipset).

You should try medium Video settings first and than try higher resolutions (step by step).

If you use xp ---> update directx

@JA_394 - that is good advice from luschetk which I just did recently too. If it's your computer google things like "how to update your video driver".

Initially we had planned to go this route, but it proved to be confusing to testers.  As such, you must now choose to be rebel or loyalist during game setup.

Well, I've been waiting for some info on how sub-factions will work. Based on this I'm almost positive I won't be doing Loyalist/Rebels the way Ironclad is. In a sense I already have the concept of two opposing races already designed and if I don't have to double that amount then I'll be pretty happy. 

Loyalists/Rebels

Nephilim / Plague

Hypercorp / Rogue Traders

Colonial / Cylon

Alliance / ? 

Still need to see what new research options there are how titans and corvettes will work. That alone is 14 new models needed in addition to all the new abilities that will be needed for the Titans and Corvettes. Most of my factions already have a 5th capital ship slot so I'll be moving those into the new type.

an opposite for the alliance could be the ones who despise having the tec in the alliance resulting in an advent/vasari alliance

There is a possibility for an alternative alliance faction assuming they use similar capital ships but different frigates and research maybe.

Here's a spreadsheet I am able to generate from my mods capital ship and frigate entity files. It also roles up some of the damage values towards the end. 

It's big (i.e. a lot of columns). The juicier stuff is towards the end.

Can you http://pastebin.com your dxdiag report? 

Your base cpu and memory looks good, but it's hard to draw conclusions from partial information. If it only dumps on large scenarios there is still something else going on.

Also, is this a laptop or desktop?
