Re: [ROR] Topics - Help with infrastructure.

Well, I've been working on the corporate tech tree and I've hit a problem, I'm on the verge of completely filling the command bar.  In an effort to keep that from happening I'm going to make it so that different corporations are only buildable on worlds that fit their needs.  I'm going to do this by giving an assignment of two values to each planet (These values aren't going to be in the code but expect them to appear in a world's description later).  The values will be raw material wealth, and local development level (a function of cultural wealth, technological complexity, and population).  The numerical values will be 1-5 as well.

 

So... for example.

 

Coruscant:

Local Development Level: 5

Raw Material Wealth: 1

 

Tatooiene:

Local Development Level: 2

Raw Material Wealth: 2

 

Hoth:

Local Development Level: 1

Raw Material Wealth: 1

 

Geonosis

Local Development Level: 3

Raw Material Wealth: 5

 

So, since I'm so busy I'd like you guys to compile those two values for all the planets in the game.  I'll then plug the values in to enable different corporations to be available with each group of values.  Thanks.

alright.. but i have to ask a question .. have u tried addin an (upgrade) that would be free but would switch to a new page.. the upgrade wount actually change pages.. rather it would be a requirement for some units to be on the command bar.. and once u click on it again.. it would de activate those..and reactivate the 1st page..

just a thought

[DragonShadow]

It's too bad there's no scroll bar...

[swgbex]

But also i swear i saw a line of code that said something like and columns> .. not sure.. ill experiment later

 

almost done with the planet info tho

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update !

 

.im done with all the planets.. . i was done.. 2 seconds before the power went out..

 

 

 

.. but  i have a laptop battery and was able to save....  i got power back on.. and here you go

 

here u go

 

tell me if that is what you wanted

Excellent... Now here's what you get at each development level.

 

Development Level 1:

Incom Corporation

Sienar Fleet Systems

Koeynsar Corporation

 

Development Level 2:

Alliance Engineering (Exclusive to the Rebel Alliance... Produces the RZ-1 A-wing)

Aratech Corporation

Yutrane Tacktra Corporation

 

Development Level 3:

Loratus Corporation

Corellian Engineering Corporation

Damorian Manufacturing

 

Development Level 4:

Rendili Stardrive Corporation

Mon Calamari Shipyards

 

Development Level 5:

Kuat Drive Yards

Rothana Heavy Engineering (subsidiary of KDY, requires KDY Office)

Kuat System Engineering (subsidiary of KDY, requires KDY Office)

 

Now why did I ask for raw material levels... Well, there are going to be 5 levels of mining structures available... so thats why.  Additionally development levels determing how far up the political building levels you can go... And therefore the taxes you can levy.

[swgbex]

"Loratus Corporation"

 

 

Woo.. tank companies!!!

[Stellar_Magic]

Um... Loratus makes the MPTL-2a.  It's Yutrane Taktra sp? that makes tanks.

[swgbex]

oh yeah ur right.. ..

 

Yutrane Taktra is for the tank from force commander..

 

My favorite starwars ground unit it just pwns with its long range proton torpedo launcher

the t3-b tank .. they also made the t1-b hover tank.. which looks waay better than the one in EAW i must say :/

 

... loratus makes a hover transport t-C9

and a scanner jammer and the mobile torpedo launcher

 

those are all from FC btw .

[Stellar_Magic]

Hey guys... Guess what.  I just added upkeep costs to Galactic conquest units!!!  ;D

 

God, this will make you guys stop and think when I finally get this thing done.

[Jobiwan7]

Um, yay?

 

I suppose that's good, but it will make owning an ImpStar painful, I imagine.

[Stellar_Magic]

Quite painful... I'm thinking I'm going to actually need to write up a manual to describe how the game functions now.  ;D

 

God, I love complexity.

[Jobiwan7]

In this case, so do I.

 

God, I love complexity.

I finally have a signature.

[Stellar_Magic]

hmm... I think I'll add corruption losses for the construction of Black Market Structures, but those won't be in the first real release.

[Star Wars Man]

I shall use my mind for this one  ::

Maybe you could have such thing as bribery, where ex.: The Rebels bribe a KDY officer to recieve blueprints for the Vic or Acclamator SD. Also, Emprie bribes Yutrane Tacktra Corporation for blueprints to the T4-B. Interesting concept, hmm?

[Stellar_Magic]

It'd be interesting and already there is something similar in place.  You recieve substantial assistance in procure corporate squadrons when you have control of the world where they're based.  So its possible for the Empire to go up the incom tech tree without Fresia but it will be very expensive.

[swgbex]

Complexity is what i love about games like this.. A game soo deap it keeps me entertained.. .. its as close to the rebelllion experience as we could get... i need to reinstall that  game

 

I have a question tho.. what happens when you are outta credits for upkeep.. i saw the system for upkeep seems to be in place in EAW but what does happen when ur outta money??

[Stellar_Magic]

Nothing... you just go in debt.  ???  Of course if you know anything about the rebellion... they were about bankrupt when they took Coruscant.

[Jobiwan7]

I see a potential problem. When you start going into debt, how do you get rid of units you can't afford? Suicide missions?

[swgbex]

U can just sell units and u get half of ur money back..

[Jobiwan7]

Oh, really? ??? I didn't know that.

 

Never mind, then.

[swgbex]

Just right click on the untits in the gallactic view and u can sell most things

[Jobiwan7]

Well I feel noobish. :-\ Thanks, though.

 

Okay, the upkeep system will be perfect!

[swgbex]

We were all noob ish at one point 

[Stellar_Magic]

Hey guys... I've got something else for you to do.

 

Where should the following corporations be based out of?

 

Koensayr

Yutrane Tacktra

Loratus

Damorian Manufacturing

Rendili Stardrive

Rothana Heavy Engineering

Sienar Fleet Systems

[Foshjedi2004]

Bothawui, Bilbringi, Kuat, Sluis Van, Rendili
