You don't have to do any of that, I already updated the dynamic movement and posted it.

Though if you use any of the tools that convert from binary to text, you can see exactly what was done by comparing the files so you have a starting point for your own education.

(Edit:

I'm redownloading B5 just to be sure of it.

Edit2: after 2 hours of playing and allying and getting all of the pacts and getting and giving all kinds of missions...  B5 is working without editing anything.  And no, the count is correct for the manifest.)

Btw, anyone following my little blurbs about error squashing, fixed a few more yesterday and now I'm down to only getting 6 or 7 errors about buffs on the load which I intend on fixing tonight (pending any interruptions from my daughters like last night, little cock blockers.  ).  Once I get those, and pass the fixes along, should they all get used, then we'll have a smooth loading DS once again which will definitely make future problems much easier to figure out...

*goes about modifying the usual files before dropping DS into the mod folder* ahh, why do you guys keep these things around~

Dynamic movement mod: all scouts must be deleted, otherwise they kamakazi the mines they try to sweep.....

Dynamic Movement mod: The Turret's movement speed......honestly......this one has no right to exist

Aside form those six files, everything else i touch is personal ascetics and taste so i won't post those =X

ahem, btw........before anyone catches me for flaming, i'll let you all know now I practically refuse to play without DS anymore.....they've spoiled me

Because we don't care for the DM mod.

pssh, I like it and others may too. Joke was on me anyway though, apparently the extras weren't included in the release this time.

Suppose it would cause conflicts if I cut and paste the rest of them in Ryat?

(besides, dynamic movement makes a few "area effect skills" a little more effective, such as the enforcer's for example)

anyway, still wanna ask how to change the lighting effects of those(OMG I'M BLIND) sky boxes you guys added in, i got the background changed but the reflections on the ships elude me ;O

I doubt it. But don't quote me on that.

Sadly the one DS modder that did like it left a while ago. The rest of us that don't maintain it but that is it.

well, it's not like there's been anything to break it anyway, so just adding it in was enough I guess.

Taking things out is far better than trying to put things in anyway so there is that.

maybe if I get some free time or a lull in my home work once rebellion comes out I'll try updating it. I'll have to figure out the movement mechanics from referencing between vanilla and dynamic files, but that shouldn't be too difficult to figure out...i mean it's not like there's much to change or alter in the case of new files.

I'm well aware that by saying that I may have just gotten ryat to think, "Ha, that's what he thinks now" but oh well ;O

Edit: also, a handy hint, if you don't feel like having folder spam for every version of sins in your files...just rename the current one and edit the text file in there to say 0 instead of 4(in my case). Saves time with copying stuff from the old folder to the new one, since nothing is moved.

And this has been another Wasting time with Bad tune

System Message:wisdom -99 points for reading this message skill:Sentient thought no longer available

I liked that skill!!!!

I gave Nacey a list of files that are completely unnecessary as of the B3 or B4 release, in the version 1.00 release, nearly all of them have been removed, so when this version is made public, you'll only get the files you need to have, not what you're getting right now.

Okay, I'll take them out.

I assume they were made to turn fast because ships fly by now rather then stopping.  At their slow rate, the ship would have time to turn around and make another pass before the turret turns around to take another shot.  That's one of the things I actually like about the DM minimod.

I know I don't.  I prefer the old style of naval warfare where ships run up on each other then hit 'em with every cannon on the broadside.  Reminds me of naval warfare pre 1850's.  Yarrrrr!

Nope, but if you ever get the urge to play someone online, you're kinda screwed until you put the old files back.

The skyboxes DS added in are missing their properties and thus don't show up in game.  I fixed them over a year ago and they never got included, so I had to 'fix' them again for version 1.00.  Their cube environments are not in the proper format either which causes a few more issues with them.  Undo your changes and download this: http://sites.google.com/site/steelers086/gamefiles/DSSkyboxFix.rar   Put the meshes in the mesh folder the textures in the texture folder and the skybox properties in the GameInfo folder.  If you open up the properties file, you will see hex color codes for diffuse and ambient light colors, on the dark backgrounds, those are for lighter colors, on the two light DS backgrounds, they are darker colors so you shouldn't be getting blinded by having light on light.  I may make a few more DS backgrounds, so don't go too crazy into playing with things.  You'll just mess up my work. 

Pretty much.

Been done already.  See my previous post in the quote box for the link.  There really is nothing else to update about them.

Nope.  Which is why you don't need to do something I've already done and posted for the public.

Maybe I'll get to these buff errors sometime tonight...  =\

Update on 1.00:

All of the minidump errors are now fixed, it turned out to be 5 separate errors all generated by different combinations of units and so on generated via the GalaxyScenarioDef file.

All research costs, research times etc have now been normalised across all research trees (something that should have been done a long time ago).

The majority of errors have now been fixed bar a few thanks to Stants help for fixing quite a few of those.

There are only a couple of final things left for me to check / create and for us to play test before the final release is ready now

Dynamic Movement:

I'll be updating this once 1.00 is finished for the moment its fallen a little out of date and quite a few little changes that have been included in the core DS for a while now.

Nice work Nacey and Stant

@Stant: All the changes I really made was altering the 2 skyboxes with Gimp, toned down their lighting a bit. But with B5 I just went to the manifest this time and stopped the game from looking for them. This way your work isn't touched and they don't appear at the same time(my gimp changes came out a little pixiled anyway, I'm not that used to the program yet) I was kinda rude in how I described them though, sorry stant.

I understand the reasoning behind lowering the turning speeds of the turrets a bit, but with what they were set at, by the time the turret turned to fire, it's target would be behind it again. slowed down is ok, but a dead crawl is not. I could understand if they turrets had a MASSIVE dmg increase for this, but as it stands, it's a long wait for a small result.

Glad to hear that the changes for DM don't require much of anything from another person lol, was thinking more about when Rebellion comes out though, see what could or shouldn't be added at that time for the Titans.

Added: also, still trying to figure out exactly which files need to be edited how for changing the planetary elevators. I'd like them to look a bit larger and more like floating continents than small structures.

I must be blind because I found no link for the updated Dynamic Movement.  What was the reply nunber?

I haven't played in awhile....

I assume if I download trinity I can still use this mod correct?

Trinity is just a fancy way of saying you bought all three games. So yes. You have access to the Diplomacy version and the Entrenchment version. Vanilla is a bit behind though.

Thanks Ryat

I should download this one?
