Hi, sure you can. The indirect way would be to make more planets colonized and setting their importance higher. That should result in having more planets with their apropriate resources at the beginning. The maintenance for each unit (ships, fighters, troops,..) can be set in RebEd, right beside the construction cost.

"Hardwired" capital ship slots and funky card load
the_mask replied to Texas_Fett's topic in Rebellion Editing
Awww now I get it TF, RebEd writes the entries in HexCode, while Resource Hacker adds them as text. Therefore, if you change an entry with RebEd, it'll look weird in ResHack, but that shouldn't do a thing to the way it's displayed in the game. It looks something like this, right ? 68 65 6C 6C 6F 2C 20 64 69 7A 20 69 7A 20 61 20 hello, diz iz a 74 65 73 74 20 2E 2E 2E 20 test ... that's just hexcode on the left side, describing the text on the right. If you want the long story on how to tell, what the numbers mean, mail me -
I bought it (pc) and I beat it
the_mask replied to a topic in Old Star Wars games nobody plays anymore -JI
Nothing to add here, except that, Rebellion starts right after the battle of Yavin, but the Arc Hammer is destroyed a bit later and as far as I can remember, the base in Rebel Assault 1 doesn't need to be in Beggar's Cannyon, although it is never explained where it is exactly. -
That from was a very old (70's my guess) German comedy B-movie, where a guy had to keep another one's wife company for a while, cause he looked like his twin. The wife looked like, ... well, AliG would call her a "minger" and that guy had a hard time escaping her grasp. When she finally caught him, he said this line (sighing) "only one and a half hours till Buffalo". So you could also say "'till I get there" or "until it's done" You know, I've been wondering why english-speaking people never write letters like ü,ö and ä until I remembered, that these letters are missing on your keyboards. But you can simulate these with ue, oe and ae But getting back to the rank, one from the full list went in the right direction, although I'll take a simpler title. I only do that on parties, but yes, I can do some of the voices as well. Ps: that choice of an avatar wasn't just a coincidence Darn, I forgot to write that Or if you captured one of them. Better put the rolling pin away, before you start playing. But one more piece of the puzzle fell in the correct slot here: your wife's likes Ted, George of the jungle and Daredevil ? Now I know, why she picked a Mandolorian Oh, I wouldn't say that. Google does come in handy at times, if I'm posting something and can't remember a certain word in english (like 'rolling pin'). At home I got a small dictionary, that helps me, if my mind gets stalled. look up the first Zoot war, somewhere along the threads "2000 posts" and "animated gifs". He passed "special" Foster's cans, that resulted in several of the forum users finding themselves in odd places again. I didn't say how many of those I had ... *cough*how about "are you ready to operate, doctor ?", "I'd love to, but first I gotta perform surgery" ? or:(about another doctor) "I bet I've lost more patients, than he had" ? or the fact, that he's a doctor, but is the poorest of the whole crew ? that was the point, when I screamed at the tele "but you are not funny !!!" that made the series completely boring, therefore it didn't sell quite as good as anticipated here. 27 ? that makes you only mumble, mumble years my senior. I thought you were older, ... hmm ...But yeah, we have age restrictions for movies, video games, ... You can argue about their usefulness, but I wouldn't let a 12-year old play Doom 3, I mean: look what became of us all

You know, these multiplayer savegames are a very good idea... But in a singleplayer savegame one side has to be the AI and as I know from trying to decode them, it's almost impossible to see through, since the infos are stored in variable lenghts and more than once over the whole file. Another rhyme in our tragic song "if we the sourcecode..."
-
So more like your own demons ? Well as we can see from the soundtrack of the Crow, titles can take really odd turns like : Machines of loving grace - golgotha tenement blues. Good album, though. Sui Generis - Las increíbles aventuras del señor Tijeras looks easier, but I assume the first one is a name. the incredible adventures of Mr. Tijeras Lit - over my head

-100 Oh yeah, only a few more posts till Buffalo, Baby Actually my mother raised me to speak a more "by the book" dialect, but I can slip into any German dialect. You wouldn't know, if I'm a Swabian, Bavarian, Hessian, from Cologne, northern Germany, even Austrian (think of 'the Governator'), or Switzerland. I think I reached the appex, when we were in London with school and I was having a chat with a Lady in the tubes, who thought I was an American I switched on the Spanish language at times on my Lethal Weapon DVDs. It was quite funny to hear Danny Glover yelling "Rrrrriiiiiggs" Also I once saw a show, where they seemed to use only one voice for more than 5 actors. 1) Yes, I heard that as well 2) You just need another pc and some character cards with Robbie Williams, Brad Pit and so on. The rest is a piece of cake Nah, it came to me, when I was leaving for work, yesterday morning. I went downstairs and thought 'Oh yeah ... :D' Wait, I never tried a "Bock" beer. But I doubt the package would pass the detector at the door, that I've installed to block "special" types of Foster's, that have some weird claw marks on them Nope, never tried any of those after that "caipi-incident". I did sometimes drink a "Corea" (red wine with Coke, about 50-50), when I was in my teens, but these were just to get "warm" Think of it this way: most of the jokes with more than one meaning are gone. Bender has the same voice as Krusty in the (German) Simpsons. And poor Zoidberg gets only 20% of the laughs as well. The problem is the translation studio. After the release of season 1 they showed a bit of their internal workings in a documentation and their boss, more than satisfied with himself and for being in front of a camera, said this: "Well, if I come up with something more funny, we take that, of course" ... Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Changing the dialogues robs the series of all that makes it so hilarious you do that, but remember there are cut (age 16 and above) and uncut (18 and beyond) versions here. Since it's a Warner release the uncut version will have a red plastic clip, instead of the black one. Also a little red sign says "Ab 18 Jahren..."

Just a minor correction: the traitor program was made by vakundok, not me or Trej. He was disappointed, that you couldn't take over the other fleet in battle, so he removed the link. But for simple editing purposes (or finding all the shipnames, the AI uses), the program can still be useful
-
I knew, that he was called that way, but at this moment I had forgotten about it. This VB programming is starting to give me gray hairs... fure, id juft takef ub morr fpace in my mouf now It's just too bitter for my taste and I've tried the most of them: Pils, Kölsch, Starkbier and Weizenbier. The Weizen was the only one, that I could be persuaded to drink, if everything else was gone. Hey, but I also don't eat "Spätzle", although I'm a native Swabian, I'm just an anarchist Chick drinks ? You mean like Caipirinia, or what they are called ? Nah, the first and last time I tried that I had to let it go through my head again, which never happened before, when I was drinking something. Why do you think I read all my books in the original version, or stopped watching the dubbed episodes of Futurama ? Although Futurama is the most horrible example of out-of-synch translation. But that's another topic. Yeah, I was looking like this , when I heard his original, higher pitched voice, the first time. Maybe you'll find the (uncut) German DVD of 'Red Alert' 1 or 2, that's the standard voice he gets here.
-
this one sounds a bit weird: stereo soda water - world of chimeras What does that mean, translation errors ? Black Sabbath - iron man Da, Da, Dada, Da, ....
-
Umm, you do remember the little green guy teaching Luke in EP5 and dying later in EP6, right ? He doesn't wear a saber, but he's there. Wow, didn't know about the second one, but I got a baaad, uh goood feeling about this. I also heard about a scene, where Kenny Baker drove R2 into a wall
-
Not at this moment, but I knew, that it was a synonym for a good dancer. You remember the movie, where my avatar first appeared in ? I was howling in the same way, but didn't smack my head on the table (well, at least not this time). Umm, did I meantion, that I don't drink beer ?... ducks ... So I gotta start with the harder stuff and there's only so much Wodka and Whiskey, that I can take (especially with that foaming powder, which I don't know the english word for right now)... Now that's just the tip of an iceberg of undertalented translators. There are good ones, but, well ... The voices are generally very good, though. Clint sounds like he has a very dry throat, the voice fits him perfectly. Hell, even Steven Segal sounds like a tough guy in the German versions
-
let's say, I was rather confused by it. Reading all this in a hurry, I went over it and suddenly halted thinking "Hunh ? Who's a Pelvis ? ... Ah, ok..."So no offense was taken Well, to quote Zapp Brannigan : you must've been smoking some bad granola But either way : "rrrrrr, aooooo" As I wrote earlier somewhere, I once thought I had a conversation, that lasted for hours, but then I was told the next day, that I just stood there with a funny grin, without opening my mouth. Although that was a party, where I had gotten back some bad grades before and I had a lot to forget... Ok, a combined google & Amazon search led me to the German title of that Western. Re-translated it would be called "two glorious scoundrels", now pray tell me, how I could relate that to "the good, the bad and ugly" I called my uncle yesterday about it and we're both positive about it, that he's got that one on tape somewhere. I'll take a look at it.
-
But who will play the obligatory 'white woman' ? If it's Jennifer Aniston, then I might even watch it
-
'Ley' means 'law', right ? Weird Al - living in the fridge
-
But it will be a 4 dvd release, surely they can pack enough stuff onto the fourth one, so that all of us drooling fans will be satisfied Jahled, you got a link to that ?
-
Jahled, as you can see on the first page of this thread, I do listen to other music as well I thought I've already written you once, that Apocalyptica plays their music on Cellos (no lyrics), now that's definately an experience to hear the fast guitar riffs from songs like 'one' with these instruments. Wasn't "how bizarre" in the "Buena Vista Social Club" lp ? I got that track, but I'll be on the lookout for the one you meantioned. Does anyone have the original of "behind blue eyes" from the Who ? Is it better than the new version ? Nelly Furtado - powerless
-
Nope, I just remember Peggy Bundy complaining, that Al once cried that the whole night after the car dropped down on him Now, if I knew what Ropers were ... Now here's the problem. I only walk onto the dancefloor when I'm drunk, but then I'm not good at dancing anymore, hence the P.F. moves, which do not require much coordinated movement *sigh* ... there is no emotion ... there is peace ....Now when does anything in a soap make sense You got a picture of that movie's cover ? Maybe I'll recognize it then.[/b]

Questions - Game Mechanics: Capital ship shields and weapons
the_mask replied to Spike2000's topic in Rebellion Editing
I don't know the ratio, but they are certainly less effective from my experience. Although I can't remember beefing up the laser values to ~150 on each arc, hmm.... -
Maybe some problem with your villip The ISD hull would be my alternative choice, but I'm still waiting for an official release date for the German version. Finally I can also hear the original lines and complain about translation errors. A buddy once lend me his US version of EPIV, it was fun to hear ObiWan with a kind of an Scottish accent.

Changing Death Star Superlaser recharge time?
the_mask replied to bunnyeartv's topic in Rebellion Editing
Maybe 250000 was just too much. If the recharge rate is an integer variable, then you can't go over ~32000, ~64000 for an unsigned integer. -
Questions - Game Mechanics: Capital ship shields and weapons
the_mask replied to Spike2000's topic in Rebellion Editing
Hi, 1) a: yes, I think so. b: Hmm, I never noticed the difference between the strenghts, that you meantioned. 2) I think it absorbs the damage of the shots until its energy is too low, the hit points of the shot are too great and then a shot can get through. If the shots keep coming, then the generator will be damaged and the shields will be out permanently. 3) Laser are for fighters, turbolasers for capships 4) a: sure, with enough turbolasers Also the "surround" command for your ships helps, cause the shields are drained from multiple angles b: as I explained above, the shields get reduced, the generator reloads a certain amount of them now and then and if the stress is too great, the shields and evidentially the generator fail. -
Yeah, I heard it on the radio, when I got up (6 AM). That was just the moment, when it got the 11th Oscar. I also heard what Tim Robbins and Bill Murray said, as well as a bit of what Jim Carrey was trying to say From the news I also got, that Peter Jackson wants to make a movie about King Kong next ...
-
Does anyone have that new vehicles guide ? I haven't seen much of the Vong capships, not even on the NJO project's site. So I gathered, pics of these still weren't available. The superweapon could indeed be a problem. Although you could simply disable it. As far as I know (middle of 'Refugee') there are none around at this time.

Now, if you're also scratching your head, asking yourself where the link is, it's here: http://www.kamuiweb.com/sitev3/html/modules/news/article.php?storyid=808 I can say but one thing about this release: It's about time What took you Oh yeah and if I can get my hands on it, I might take the Jedi Vs Sith package
