Shadows gives much greater control over how ships are built, so perhaps now it'd work.


Yeah, I've just noticed that you can specify the number of components for each class in a design template text file. That looks much better.

However, the problem was always to do with the way the game scales each image. Since the Borg cube uses the most opaque pixels possible in an image, the game scales it much smaller than a ship with lots of transparent pixels in it's image.

I think the ship needed to be around 2500 in size to look remotely like the size it should. With a ship scaling factor of 2.0, I believe that's around tech level 6 or 7 (can't check right now) to allow for that size construction.

Well, anyway. I hope I can make something work this time!

Status: offline 		I still plan to talk to Elliot about the ship scaling further Igard. Even with the
new design templates the scaling issue still exists. Hopefully he'll have time right
after he puts out the new customization guide. Really would like to have the Borg cubes
in Shadows in their appropriate size.

Did these ever get updated? Thanks!

Status: online 		Hi AstroCat, I had to squash the research breakthrough image to get it to display properly in game. The original researchbreakthrough.png is an image of a lightbulb which is a different shape, so to fit the little window properly, this image has to be stretched out.

I think the construction_stalled.png was added for Shadows. At least, it wasn't there when I made these. I will update at some point.

The blue background will be removed. It's just to help me draw.

You can all tell what it is though. Right?

Status: online 		Hey I re-uploaded the file in the above post. I accidentally forgot to leave the background transparent, doh! All fixed.

Oh the messages look a lot better than the vanilla graphics, I'm using them as my base in all my games for sure.

Status: offline 		Yeah been looking at the game and see what you mean how you cant really to a Ent through to DS9 Era mod......

Thing is I dont think it would be too hard for the developer to tweak that.

Dont know if this as been raised with the developer?

It would make finacial sense as doing so and allowing a Ent through to DS9 mod would basicaly make the best grand Strategy startrek game out there and porentialy bring ina few hundred more customers.

Not just yet Invaderzim, but Igard is working on it!
