Here is the thing. This dynamic movement will not be part of the main mod but rather as a separate addon to it. Completely optional, however, if you have the mod the files, so will the other person. I am surprised personally that no one said the light frigates should have fighter movements, we should agree on that front. In respone to maybe bombers have movement, bombers don't have movement when it comes to bombing planets, but when it does fight other ships is where I am looking it from.

My thoughts exactly when I first started in on them.

It's literally thousands of values.

Every so often I'll jump in and do a few of them, though I'm going to start on the lore maps first which aren't included in the DS releases yet, and considering the big map has more then most of the others combined...  It'll be a while before I get there.  =P

Yeah, bastards!     I was sad when the hate mail stopped.

Only the developers can read the minidumps and they don't support mods, so don't bother hanging on to those, we can't use them.  It would be great if we could because we could pinpoint some of the more elusive crashes...  As for the random crashes there are a couple of known things that cause these but since they're sort of built into the core of the mod, eliminating them is out of the question.  For example, would you play without the ship grave yards, deep space trade ports, and autobuilt starbases for the pirates and other gravity wells?  Probably, but the removal would definitely affect the experience.  These things don't always cause problems, but they create much more then other things.  (Actually, I think the deep space trade ports got removed from the official diplomacy release.  I don't recall exactly, I run my own version that has extra stuff in it.  Something in the 0.7 release got yanked out because it was causing just too many issues.)  Rebellion is probably picking up on other errors that diplomacy didn't really care about and is creating some of its own problems, so you're getting more minidumps then usual.  When the Beta release comes out (meaning a version actually designed for Rebellion as opposed to the current Alpha port over from Diplomacy) this 50/50 chance of crashing I keep reading people talking about should be more like the 1 out of 15+ games that Diplomacy is averaging.

Basically, if you come across a situation that causes the game to crash every time it happens, report it.  Give us as much info about what is going on that leads up to the crash, and what happens that actually causes the game to crash, and if at all possible, a link to the last saved game prior to the crash so we can download it and play it ourselves without having to take all of the time to set up the situation you're describing.  Even if it's a situation that happens more times then not, or rarely happens but still can be forced, report it.

Actually we do know and had a fix for it for a while but Rebellion brought new issues.

Rebellion brought new effects into the equation and Bailknight's fx pack is now hopelessly out of date. We will be incorporating new effects soon.

Correction:

"We will be incorporating new effects SOON™."

Sorry for the bad translation, I'm from Russia.
The mod you have just a wonderful, guys, but it looks like Alpha as there is a problem.
I want to know how to solve a problem with it:

Slot ActionSetRallyPoint can't be setup over ACTION_CAPITALSHIP_ABILITY_4.

I just can not play. Error is constant.
Or I'll just delete the files from the ability of the planetary "entity" of the planets, until problem is solved?

In your Setting folder, in the same folder as the mod folder, find a file called "rebellion.user". Open it in notepad and find a line called "ShowErrors". Make sure its set to FALSE, not TRUE.

Glad to see the DS mod is up and ready for Rebellion now .

Quick question though. On the map CB Birth of the Trade Order, is there any way for the galaxy forge names (i.e. Union of Earth, Martian Venusian Alliance, Saturn League, Neptunian Empire) to still be displayed in the actual game?

Will need to be rebuilt for that. And they will be.

Thanks a lot, it helped. Just not yet learned to catch the error in another way, share your experiences please)))

I understand that the developers of DS already overwhelmed by different requests and suggestions, but let me add, too, by itself, it may be useful:
I was going to make a map of the solar system and nearby stars, but most of the stars that surround us double or triple. So I ran the mod DS. But there is one problem. Unfortunately companion star, not seen as normal stars until they find, as a simple planet. And it's sad. I myself have tried to fix it, but it looks like the changes you need to do in the game engine.

FYI--I love the ship graveyards so much that I am making "wrecked ship" models for you.  I have a prototype Kol already done that can use the normal Kol texture or your graveyard ones.  Looks good either way--I've already tried it in game.  You won't have to add textures to the mod--just the meshes.

The Kol as an example has bent antennae, dented armor, blast holes showing internal wrecked machinery, damaged hangar bays--you get the idea.

I'm also going to take some of the smoke, flame, etc. particle effects and add those in too as an option.

An extra would be to add some slight damage edits to the textures for the normal Kol--because my model will match the already existing texture for it, it would be very easy to add some scorch marks and throw in little touches like that.

So this is my spare time hobby.  I'm doing a bit at a time when I have some.

I may be misunderstanding what you mean but if you are talking about planets with star meshes not being able to be seen as stars are--there is a easy fix for this (if what you want is for them to be visible at the game start).

Since they are "planets" to the game itself, just create a GalaxyScenarioDef template and add ships by player slot.  Mod in a combat turret ship with no weapons and a self destruct ability that autocasts as part of the planet template.  At game start, each player will see the star and the turrets will vanish.

This is awesome!!!

Here's the mashup sample i did just to see if it could work.  You have to be able to see it in game and rotate the angles to catch a lot of it but some of the effect can be seen here.

I'm working on a much more detailed one now--holes showing the ship interiors, proper seems and the like, etc.

A work around is to use actual stars and not companion stars.  Using the forge, you can group the stars near to each other and set the radius to like 1.  Not the move or exit radius, but the build radius.  The one that puts the white circle around them.  As far as my understanding of the numbers, when zoomed out, you should see the stars grouped near each other.  When zoomed in, they'll be treated as separate systems, but it doesn't really matter if the non main stars are just there and don't have any planets grouped with them, visually, it'll all look the same.  You just won't see planets unless you're on the main star.

The fact that I experimented with a lot of Galaxy Forge and the stars can not be placed side by side. The problem is that if the primary star has a planet, then the z coordinate for the second star is random. And it can not be changed, at least I tried. Perhaps it is written somewhere in the game engine.
I need the stars were very close to each other - "two giant fire visible from the planet, which revolves around them."
