Unofficial Master's of Orion Conquer the Stars (Unofficial Code Patch)

Game-Version: 55.1.1 2.1.41258 (28/04/2017 12:18)

Common-Version: C.0.5.8

GOG-WIN-Version: G.0.5.8
GOG-OSX-Version: NOT SUPPORTED - I do not have a OSX system to build one and no GOG Linux version to base changes off :(
Steam-WIN-Version: S.0.5.8
Steam-LINUX-Version: L.0.5.8
Steam-OSX-Version: X.0.5.8

:::: 1.0: Purpose
Fix Bugs and add some new features

:::: 1.1: Disclaimers
1. This patch makes/uses save files that are incompatible with the final product release. So it will require a new game to play with this.

2. This has only been tested by me on the Windows GOG.com/Steam version of the game. Any other included versions should contain the exact same changes but are untested by me.

3. I have not tested this in any multi-player match-ups. If anyone desires to test this I'm sure all clients will need this fix pack.

4. I will only upload this fix pack to www.nexus.com or Steam Workshop. If you acquire it from any other site other than www.nexus.com or Steam Workshop, I did not place the files there.

5. This software is provided "as-is," without any express or implied warranty. In no event shall the author be held liable for any damages arising from the use of this software.

:::: 1.2: UnofficialCodePatch-Release.zip
This is the complete package, it contains a java based installer (jar), a batch file for installer (Windows), a shell script for installer (Linux), ReadMe.txt, and the actual package file "UnofficialCodePatch.zip"

:::: 1.3: Contents of MOOCts-Installer.jar
This is a small installer, source code included, that will work with both Windows (GOG and Steam) and Linux (Steam). It does not support OSX as I do not have an OSX platform to develop on.

:::: 1.4: Contents of UnofficialCodePatch.zip
\Common The modified files common to both platforms
\StreamingAssets Updated interface files (SWF and other binary files)
\Unofficial Code Patch Contains the Master of Orion "Unofficial Code Patch" Mod folder (yaml files)
\GOG-WIN Updated GOG (Windows) specific files (dll)
\STEAM-WIN Updated Steam (Windows) specific files (dll)
\STEAM-LINUX Updated Steam (Linux) specific files (dll)
\STEAM-OSX Updated Steam (OSX) specific files (dll)

:::: 1.5: Installation - Java Installer (Windows/Linux)
1. Obviously make certain the game is not currently running and you have a Java JRE installed.
2. Extract "UnofficialCodePatch-Release.zip"
3. If Windows run the javaInstaller.bat. If Linux run the javaInstaller.sh (you will have to run the command "chmod u+x javaInstaller.sh" before this will be executible)
4. Follow prompts; "VERIFY" will verify the installation of all files and does chechsum comparison. "INSTALL" will install the needed files and perform a post verification
5. Launch Game - Goto mods and set active "Unofficial Code Patch", if using the Steam Workshop you should also set active the "Unofficial Code Patch Steam Workshop" mod, one of both might already be active, but please verify
6. Close and restart application

:::: 1.6: Installation - Manual (Windows/Linux)
1. Obviously make certain the game is not currently running.
2. Extract "UnofficialCodePatch-Release.zip" then extract "UnofficialCodePatch.zip" that will make several directories listed in the above "Contents of UnofficialCodePatch.zip"
3. Locate your installation directory for "Master of Orion"
4. Drill down to a folder inside that called "MasterOfOrion_Data\Managed"
5. Copy the correct version (GOG-WIN, STEAM-WIN, STEAM-LINUX) of the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" overwriting the file in that folder.
6. Go up and down to "Master of Orion\MasterOfOrion_Data\StreamingAssets\"
7. Copy Files from the "\Common\StreamingAssets\" folder extracted above to this directory, preserving directory structure and overwriting files
8. Find your mod folder "Master of Orion\Mods", for Windows this is in your user documents folder and for Linux it is in your home folder.
9. Put the "\Common\Unofficial Code Patch" folder there, if already present just overwrite
files. You should finish with a directory structure that looks like "Master of Orion\Mods\Unofficial Code Patch"
10. Launch Game - Goto mods and set active "Unofficial Code Patch", if using the Steam Workshop you should also set active the "Unofficial Code Patch Steam Workshop" mod, one of both might already be active, but please verify
11. Close and restart application

:::: 1.7: Installation - Manual (OSX)
1. I'm not clear on installation steps for this as I do not have access to a Mac, hopefully this helps (not 100% sure about this info).
2. The DLL goes into "Contents/Resources/Data/Managed"
3. The Assets goes into "Contents/Resources/Data/StreamingAssets"
4. The Personal mod folder is located at "/Users/<your user id>/Master of Orion/Mod" and the "Unofficial Code Patch" folder needs to go there
5. Launch Game - Goto mods and set active "Unofficial Code Patch", if using the Steam Workshop you should also set active the "Unofficial Code Patch Steam Workshop" mod, one of both might already be active, but please verify
6. Close and restart application

:::: 1.8: Compatibility with "5X - The Ultimate Balance Mod"
1. Please make certain you are following the instructions provided by Spud Dastardly.
a. Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1190572281
b. Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/masteroforionconquerthestars/mods/45/?

:::: 2.0: Game Controls Update
Here is a short list of users controls that have been added or adjusted. I wanted to put them into one place so not to forget about them.

General Updates:
The Right Mouse Button will now close most screens. It is considered an escape choice.

Galaxy Map (Standard View):
Middle Mouse Button will activate the action on the bottom right button: "Choose Research, Choose Production, etc."

Rally Points:
A new Rally button "blue pin" option has been added to the fleet controls. It can also be accessed via the shortcut key and is configurable in the Options -> Control menu for the game under "Rally Points".

Automatically when you manually select a fleet and tell it to move to a location a hidden Rally point is created. You can then select a different fleet and tell that fleet to head to the same direction using the Rally button. This selection does get overwritten every time you manually tell a fleet to move to a location. I use this for quick localized movements when I'm trying to get a lot of ships to the same location.

A more permanent Rally point can be assigned to any colony that you own. From the galaxy map click on one of your planets while holding down the CTRL key. This will mark the planet with a Rally Point indicator "blue pin". You can then select a fleet and tell it to go to this alternative Rally Point location by holding down the CTRL key while clicking the Rally button or using the CTRL + shortcut key combo

Planet Screen:
Clicking on a "Done" or using the Right-Click close while holding down the CTRL key will in additional to the normal operation of exiting the screen, will center the galaxy map on this planet.

Empire Management Screen:
Clicking on a planet while holding down the CTRL key will exit this screen and center the galaxy map on the chosen planet.

Tactical Battle:
Pressing "[" and "]" will select the previous and next squadrons. You can use this to assign specific orders to a squadron of ships

:::: 3.0: Signifigant New Features

:::: 3.1: Rally Points
Allows setting of rally points and sending fleets to that location with one click. There are two rally points defined:

(RP1): Game will now automatically remember your last manually selected fleet destination. This one has no visible marking.
(RP2): You can also select a colony you own on the galaxy map and mark it using CTRL + Click, this will put a blue pin on the colony top bar

Pressing the Rally Button will send a fleet to Rally Point (RP1)

Pressing the Rally Button + CTRL will send the fleet to Rally Point (RP2)

Rally Point has a keyboard shortcut that is editable from the normal option menu. The keyboard shortcut operates the same with respect to the CTRL key and which Rally Point a fleet will be sent to.

:::: 3.2: Auto Build Queues
A new feature has been added allowing the creation of preset build queues. This basically functions exactly as the builtin autobuild process except the user can now directly control what gets built and in what order. It will automatically skip over structures you do not known, that cannot be built on that colony for whatever reason, or in some cases like gravity generators are not needed.

Two files are needed for this "AutoBuildQueue.yaml" and "AutoBuildQueue.csv" feature and they are included with this mod. It include four preset queues: Default, New Colony, Production Center, Research Center, and Growth Center.

Some notes about queues:
# The first entry in "AutoBuildQueue.yaml" MUST be default. This instructs the game to use the builtin autobuild process. Any structures assigned to this queue will just be ignored.
# Do not delete or reorder queue entries in the "AutoBuildQueue.yaml" file during a play through. This can cause save game crashes and other undesirable results.
# You are free to add new queue entries to the end during a play through
# You are free to change what structures are in a queue or what order they should be builtin without causing any problems
# Multiplayer: Completely untested but in theory if it works at all everyone must have the same exact queues setup or you will suffer unrecoverable desyncs during play

:::: 4.0: YAML Config Files

:::: 4.1: AntaranSettngs.yaml

USE_RANDOM_ATTACK_LOCATION: 1 (Default) or 0 (Disable)
1 = Civilization selection is unchanged, but Colony selection will be completely random
0 = <Base Game> Antaran Attack location – game will pick a civilization by which one has the highest score, it will then attack a colony based upon which system has the strongest fleet

:::: 4.2: AutoBuildQueue.yaml

Each entry should include the following fields:

key: Internal Queue Designation
This must be unique, but otherwise is just used internally by the game.

name: Display Name

description: Display Description

auto_filter: true or false
true = Will use some logic to curl the queue structure list:
# Food producing structures on colonies that do not need food
# Pollution reducing structures on colonies that are already producing at least -10 pollution per turn and is not using the "AutoClean" option
false = Will build all structures on the list the colony is capable of (full player control)

queue: List
The structures and project to be built on a colony. If a colony is idle or only production trade goods, every turn this list will be examined from top to bottom. The first structure or project that can be built will be queued for production. It will skip structures or projects that can not be built for whatever reason: biome, mineral content, lack of tech, etc.

:::: 4.3: Globals.yaml

This yaml file is setup a little different as it is broken up into different sections. If a section or value is not listed below, please do not perform any editing.

LIMIT_FACTOR: 3 (Default) or N
Limits the difference used between empires to control both the cost and benefit of a trade agreement. The highest empire’s economy is treated as having a maximal value of the lowest empire’s economy times the LIMIT_FACTOR.

:::: 4.3.3: Backend.Diplomacy.ResearchTreaty

COST_FACTOR: 0.5 (Default) or F
Used in the calculation for the initial BC cost associated with making a research treaty. Adjusting up would increase the cost of setting up a research treaty.

REWARD_FACTOR: 3 (Default) or N
Limits the difference used between empires to control both the cost and benefit of a research treaty. The highest empire’s research output is treated as having a maximal value of the lowest empire’s research output times the REWARD_FACTOR.

TRADE_LENGTH: 20 (Default) or N
Determines the length of a research treaty in game turns.

:::: 4.3.4: Backend.Civilizations.GalacticCouncil

FORCE_FORMATION_TURN: 350 (Default) or N (Set to like 99999 to disable)

:::: 4.3.5: Backend.Fleets.ShipBlueprint

IGNORE_PRIORITIZE_MODS: 1 (Default) or 0 (Disable)
1 = AI will select best weapon regardless of desired mods, so Merculite Missiles would be selected over Nuclear Missiles with Mods. In general this make the AI build stronger ships.
0 = <Base Game> Completely controlled by ShipBlueprintTemplates.yaml

ADDITIONAL_DESIGNS: 2 (Default) or N
This just sets the number of ship designs in the ship building. A value of 2 mimics the default game setting of being number of known hulls sizes + 2

:::: 4.3.6: Backend.Settlements.Colony

0 = <Base Game> Races with high gravity trait suffer on normal and low gravity planets

:::: 4.3.7: Backend.Settlements.Settlement

INVADE_TECH_CHANCE_GROWTH_FACTOR: 0.50 (Default) of F
Controls the rate of growth on the acquire chance – this is based on an invaded colony’s structures and population count.

INVADE_TECH_CHANCE_BASE: 0.04 (Default) or F
Base chance of acquiring a technology from colony invasion.

INVADE_TECH_CHANCE_MAXIMUM: 0.50 (Default) or F (Set to 0.0 to disable)

:::: 5.0: Fixes Included in this patch
Bug.0.0.5.8: If a blueprint is upgraded for a ship that the player is currently building in bulk or that they have in their workInProgress queue waiting for completion in bulk, the bulk item will get permanently stuck in the colony's build popup list. This item will not be able to actually be built as it will be auto-removed every turn from the production queue.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Stopped this insanity, this fix will not repair games that have already encountered this issue, but will prevent recurrence.

Bug.0.0.5.8: A fleet that encounters an unknown race's military outpost can be blocked from continuing. First contact does not happen and the fleet is unable to attack the military outpost.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Triggered first contact logic for this occurrence. Allowing communication and combat.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Dauntless target re-selection is using an incorrect fixed radar range, resulting in missiles not re-targeting when they should
Fix.0.0.5.8: Radar range is now using an estimated travel distance of the missile versus it’s max range

Bug.0.0.5.8: If using automated target selection observed the AI firing all weapon slots on a single ship, resulting in absolute overkill. Most easily observed by watching the Orion Guardian fire off all its death rays against a single frigate that has no shields.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Adjusted logic such that if a target already has enough incoming potential damage to be destroyed the next weapon slot that is ready to fire will target a different ship.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Leader Bonus "Beam Attack" is only applying damage bonus to "shipmodulesubtype_beam" weapons. Given that the game treats "shipmodulesubtype_beam" and "shipmodulesubtype_cannon" weapons exactly the same in all other regards this seems to be a bug to me.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just added in that weapon subtype category into the valid types to receive this damage increase.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Crash bugs found during real time tactical combat - one reported and one encountered during testing, both appear to be race conditions or out of order processing problems
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just another set of defensive fixes for this to handle the error better than crashing the game

Bug.0.0.5.8: Lucky racial trait is supposed to make you less likely to be attacked by the Antaran's during their raids but this logic was never implemented
Fix.0.0.5.8: During Antaran's civilization target selection a "lucky" race will have a 50% chance of being skipped for target calculation purposes assuming "Allow Racial Traits" is turned on.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Calculation for Armor Combat Rating does not include the race's trait "perk_ground_combat_rating adjustments"
Fix.0.0.5.8: Added this missing calculation

Bug.0.0.5.8: During galaxy generation when completing the fill for star types the game is using the wrong operation Max vs Min resulting it in filling with the least wanted stars. This causes a distribution error.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just switched from Max to Min. This does not make it a perfect distribution but is an improvement.

Bug.0.0.5.8: During multiplayer games while typing in Chat, pressing Enter (default key for next turn), will cause your fleets to move if they have pending actions
Fix.0.0.5.8: Added the proper check to ignore this key if you are actively typing in chat

Bug.0.0.5.8: Out of order processing for end turn civilization and diplomatic deals can result in the game incorrectly scrapping structures and/or fleets. This only occurs if your total balance is less than or equal to your diplomatic deals.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Changed logic, so instead of scrapping structures on a race's turn, moved that logic to a postTurn processing event that occurs after all diplomatic deals have been settled

Bug.0.0.5.8: Out of order cleanup on StageDisplomacyView Object, object is destroyed before releasing message sinks
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just corrected the ordering of this object's cleanup

Bug.0.0.5.8: Buyout cost does not take into account any accumulated production points a colony has from a previous construction effort
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just corrected this mistake

Bug.0.0.5.8: Random event Supernova does not have any lasting indicators unlike all other random events. Personally, I always forget which planet has this, especially if I come back to game at a later date
Fix.0.0.5.8: Added event icons for Supernova to both the colony planet's screen and the empire management screen

Bug.0.0.5.8: Choose Research and Research Completed Screen, some of the fields can be truncated. Mainly noticeable on Space Academy and in mods such as 5X
Fix.0.0.5.8: Corrected truncation on those fields.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Empire Economic Tooltip is missing the breakdown for independent allies that provide credit bonuses to a civilization
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just added the missing breakdown item. Performed some other minor cleanup on this tooltip.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Empire Research Tooltip is missing the breakdown for independent allies that provide research bonuses to a civilization
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just added the missing breakdown item.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Addeed some missing sound effects to the link table
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just linked the sounds to existing game content

Bug.0.0.5.8: Lithovore growth rate is not being affected by difficulty level or gravity. This seems an over-site and is leading to apparent balance issues in multiplayer games.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Modified code to make it take in effect difficultly level and gravity.

Bug.0.0.5.8: Tactical combat the specials Displacement Device and Subspace Teleportater are not working correctly. Errors include wrong range indicator being displayed and randomly working and not working
Fix.0.0.5.8: Removed range indicator since that should not have been displayed, correctly set targeting selection to make the special work as intended and not seemly at random

Bug.0.0.5.8: Ship Blueprint value "PD Effectiveness" can have a calculated value over the number of PD weapons a ship has which is not possible, since a single PD weapon can only destroy a single missile.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just capped this value to the number of PD Weapons a ship has. This value is used in the Ship Defense Calculation so that was affected by this change as well.

Bug.0.0.5.8: <UCP-5.7b fix> Colony focus type "Clean" does not take into account leader bonus that reduces pollution.
Fix.0.0.5.8: Just corrected this - should be more optimal

Bug.0.0.5.7b: A fleet cannot navigation a link between two nodes that also have terminating jump gates from two different civilizations. Attempts to travel past results in a ghost fleet and game exceptions.
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Corrected logic to drop out of jump gate ETA and use normal travel ETA, instead of just not allowing travel at all

Bug.0.0.5.7b: Loading a save game where a navigation link between two nodes that also have terminating jump gates from two different civilizations does not show up on the galaxy map
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Corrected logic to properly show the link

Bug.0.0.5.7b: A previous owned AI planet that is overtaken by the player can have its focus set to a non-player focus option. This causes the planet screen to display the wrong focus and the empire management screen to display a blank focus to the player.
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Corrected by detecting this issue and displaying a manual focus for that colony. Added code to set the colony's focus to balanced.

Bug.0.0.5.7b: AI can request and build multiplier doom stars (empireUnique blueprint), actually the production manager can request very lopsided armies due to the fact it does not take into account requested armies in it blueprint selection choice or could even stall its warship production
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Modified blueprint selection logic such that it accounts for all currently requested blueprints. This should make the AI build more balanced armies and should prevent it from making multiplier doomstars. Possible for balance an AI personality setting for HeavyArmor needs to be adjusted but leaving it alone for now.

Bug.0.0.5.7b: Espionage Screen will allow you to send multiplier spies to the same enemy colony. Only the first spy can do anything all others will get stuck in a waiting state until you recall them doing nothing.
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Added code to disable colony row when you already have a spy performing an action against that colony to avoid this issue

Bug.0.0.5.7b: On Spy and Leader Colony Selection Screens a colony's Security Level value is not visible, in some non-English language choices, due to the translated word "Level" being inserted in front of the value which is causing the text to truncate
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Just removed this redundant text string from the start, now it just shows the numeric value

Bug.0.0.5.7b: Espionage Screen the XP per turn for a selected spy can truncate due to space limitations on the field length. The Train Spy Button cost field can also wrap.
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Increased field lengths to correct screen issues

Bug.0.0.5.7b: <UCP-5.6 fix> UCP added IGNORE_PRIORITIZE_MODS global setting is causing monsters and orion guardian blueprints to be created without weapons mods
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Corrected this issue by correctly setting flag to enable mods for those designs.

Bug.0.0.5.7b: <UCP-5.7 fix> Colonies on AutoCleanup can still receive High Pollution Notices under certain conditions of pre-cleanup pollution output and planet capacity
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Just corrected this

Bug.0.0.5.7b: <UCP-5.7 fix> Colony focus type "Clean" does not take into account leader bonus nor resource production bonuses. Additionally does not support MOD structures that add multipliers to production output.
Fix.0.0.5.7b: Just corrected this - should work better

Bug.0.0.5.7a: TacticalSquadronManeuverOrbitFireSupport appears to still be stuck with EA code, where the ships slides around the battlefield with no relationship to how they are rotated
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Corrected squadron maneuver so it at least looks like they are thrusting from the rear, in general adjusted the tactics of this behavior

Bug.0.0.5.7a: TacticalSquadronManeuverOrbitFireSupport never completes due to a bug in end maneuver logic check
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Corrected issue

Bug.0.0.5.7a: Bombers on docking event, when their carrier is destroyed, just circle around forever
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Bombers will now properly disappear (saves processing time and memory during real-time combat) on attempting to dock to a destroyed ship

Bug.0.0.5.7a: Bombers are not always properly docking with carrier ship, they sometimes get stuck just orbiting it
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Corrected logic, in general fighters of all types should be more agressive in their docking orders

Bug.0.0.5.7a: Colony and Node Development Structure Projects that are upgrades production cost is being incorrectly calculated on all production speeds not set to normal
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Corrected production costs to take in account the set production speed of the current game

Bug.0.0.5.7a: Strikers on Colony Screen does not equal strikers on the Empire Management Screen due to an odd way the game decides a worker is on strike. It is also possible for it to report more strikers than the planet has population count if morale is low enough
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Corrected these issues

Bug.0.0.5.7a: In Multiplayer, or with Modded Custom, Race with large number of racial traits the tooltips fail to display
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Just corrected depth issue in SWF so the racial trait tooltips work

Bug.0.0.5.7a: <UCP-5.7 fix> Another adjustment to ProcessBalance and Calculation of Total Income. Total income was including the difficulty multiplier for diplomatic actions which could result in the AI thinking it had too much money to spend.
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Removing erroneous calculation, also cleanup the ProcessBalance method as my previous fix was messy

Bug.0.0.5.7a: <UCP-5.7 fix> Multiplayer crash on audience with AI when you are not running the server locally, by null pointer during Server.GetUniverse call
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Just switched to Client.GetUniverse

Bug.0.0.5.7a: <UCP-5.7 fix> Multiplayer desync being caused by the AI usage of Auto-Cleanup
Fix.0.0.5.7a: Properly sent message to both clients and server to turn this feature on/off thus making certain everyone is aware of its current setting

Bug.0.0.5.7a: <UCP-5.7 fix removed> Observed occasionally the Antaran Attack Fleet Scenario gets into an invalid state after attacking a colony. Their portal never despawns, their attack fleet stays around, and they will never attack again
Fix.0.0.5.7a: <UCP-5.7 fix removed> I have removed this update as while it did correct a single stall event it appears to have made some of the other Antaran AI oddities occur more frequently than before

Bug.0.0.5.7: Steam Workshop Bug - If you are not subscribed to any Steam Workshop items the game alphabetizes all your local mods on startup every time, thus reordering them
Fix.0.0.5.7: Corrected logic so the local mods will retain order regardless of the number of workshop items you are subscribed to

Bug.0.0.5.7: Production Queue on the planet shows really odd ETA for completion. Only the first production item is showing accurate ETA. All others are using some really old calculations based upon the build-able.
Fix.0.0.5.7: Adjusted the display so instead of pulling up the build-able it shows the time for the ETA on the queue.

Bug.0.0.5.7: Empire Management Screen after specific colony update, such as changing the queue, the pollution text changes from "pollution count / pollution capacity" to a "percent based" indicator of pollution
Fix.0.0.5.7: I just adjusted this to always show the percent. Also modified the security rating to make it look more uniform next to the morale and pollution percentage.

Bug.0.0.5.7: Completing research on a node, where you are creative, and have already received all the branch techs from trading, stealing, etc, can cause you to not receive the non-branch techs
Fix.0.0.5.7: Corrected this mistake, this does not fix any save, but should prevent it from happening again

Bug.0.0.5.7: Recalling a leader does not refresh the empire top bar data
Fix.0.0.5.7: Added refresh logic to this action

Bug.0.0.5.7: Ship blueprint auto upgrade from template can generate weapon slots with invalid weapon modifiers under certain conditions.
Fix.0.0.5.7: Corrected issue with weapon slot update logic to prevent this from happening

Bug.0.0.5.7: <UCP-5.6 fix> End of Turn processing balance is adding any trade treaty or tribute twice. This was unfortunately added in as part of UCP 5.6 income changes
Fix.0.0.5.7: Corrected bad code logic

Bug.0.0.5.7: Leader ship assignment does not properly update for assigned leaders status (unless the screen is exited and re-entered). Thus it will appear to let you assign two leaders to the same ship for instance
Fix.0.0.5.7: Corrected refresh issue for ship leader assignment

Bug.0.0.5.7: Leader ship selection shows a hard-coded constant of 2 turns to arrive on the selection screen.
Fix.0.0.5.7: Modified it to be the yaml setting which defaults to 4 in the base game

Bug.0.0.5.7: Possible to queue up multiple ships that have the EmpireUnique set to true. The queued ships will be canceled when the first one is completed. In base game this only affects the Doomstar
Fix.0.0.5.7: Just prevented queuing of more than one EmpireUnique ship that share the same hull class.

Bug.0.0.5.7: Planet View - Looking at a colony you do not own, via spies or omniscience leads to some issues. You can attempt to add items to the production queue, try and rearrange items on the production queue, and toggle the buttons "enable AutoBuild" and "Enable Queue"
Fix.0.0.5.7: Just disabled those UI elements if you are not the colony owner.

Bug.0.0.5.7: Shipbuilding management adjusting weapon counts the repeat delay is not working correctly. This is causing run away incremental or decremental adjustments to weapon counts.
Fix.0.0.5.7: Just corrected the logic they had in place to make it pause between repeats.

Bug.0.0.5.7: Clicking Retreat as the choice for simulated combat forces the retreating fleet to charge the enemy as normal. Resulting in the retreating fleet taking excessive damage
Fix.0.0.5.7: Modified tactical strategy used for defending fleet that is wanting to retreat. It will no longer charge the enemy but hold position waiting for retreat option to become available

Bug.0.0.5.7: Ship Pre-combat Screen shows the retreat button even if that option should not be available. When clicked it just auto-resolves the combat without retreating
Fix.0.0.5.7: Correctly hide the button if retreat is not possible (your fleet has already moved)

Bug.0.0.5.7: Empire Management Screen after pressing Buy the other widgets buttons do not update to your current credit balance. So if you had 2 items both costing 600BC and you have 700BC you can buy both of them in this UI
Fix.0.0.5.7: Correctly disabling buy buttons after making a purchase

Bug.0.0.5.7: <UCP-5.6 fix> Empire Management Screen scrollbar will disappear after sort operations, until the screen is exited and reentered. The disappearing scrollbar was introduced in 5.6 during the scrollbar fixes. Sorting on morale is treating field as alpha instead of numeric
Fix.0.0.5.7: Corrected isseues

Bug.0.0.5.6: Ship Blueprint popup screen module selection can show too many digits for DPS causing display issues
Fix.0.0.5.6: Rounded DPS to two digits after decimal place

Bug.0.0.5.6: Leader Colony Selection UI Screen, the system's defense value is hard coded to 200? The first value is also hard coded to 2?
Fix.0.0.5.6: Not sure what 200 was supposed to mean, but regardless this is wrong - updated to be the same as the Empire Management Screen. I think the first value was supposed to be the time it takes a leader to travel to a colony. I just set it to read from the yaml setting since that matches the in game travel time.

Bug.0.0.5.6: Interplanetary Administration shipping lanes are not updating correctly when the location of the Interplanetary Administration building is moved or the export project was queued and becomes active
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected graphic refresh issues

Bug.0.0.5.6: AI is still occasionally fighting a losing battle against the Monster Civilizations
Fix.0.0.5.6: Increase the success criteria requirements before the AI will fight a monster civilization, I think the original value was just too low especially since this is optional combat.

Bug.0.0.5.6: Leader Colony Selection Screen, sort buttons can disappear, selected a star does not always select a corresponding colony. Also even though a colony might be highlighted, the list does not scroll to it nor will it be the actual colony the leader will be sent to unless you click on the highlighted colony before clicking the done button
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected these issues with this popup screen

Bug.0.0.5.6: AIs troop transport rush logic is flawed, game can call it multiple times in a single turn, leading to the production of too many troop transports. Observed for example the AI using it's 19 total command points to build 12 troop transport ships.
Fix.0.0.5.6: Removed race's invasionInclination to calculation of the number of troop transports to build. Also added logic to prevent rush building in this manner. It can still ask for rush build but only so often. Placed a constraint on the number of TroopTransports that can be requested to the military fleet size. Overall this adjustment is resulting in better army ratios, and increased combat ability for the AI

Bug.0.0.5.6: Ocean Terra-forming has a missing hologram texture on the research screen
Fix.0.0.5.6: Just modified yaml file to switch the texture to be the same as gaia terra-forming. At some point I will probably look into loading external resources.

Bug.0.0.5.6: AIs targeting can assign a lower priority to enemy colonies if the colony has an orbiting fleet, thus preventing it from attacking the colony
Fix.0.0.5.6: Added code to re-examine target entries looking for this possibility and setting the proper priority based upon engagement rules set vs colonies

Bug.0.0.5.6: AIs target selection is culling entries based upon distance to target at the wrong point (when it only knows about nodes), leading to issues targeting enemy fleets in distant nodes, can cause the AI to stop attacking
Fix.0.0.5.6: Removed that bad discard. Now it will wait to cull until fleet assignments are being made.

Bug.0.0.5.6: Possible to endlessly block a node by moving one ship at a time to it and then setting OnGuard thus preventing an enemy fleet from ever moving
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected game logic rule flaw. Now if you OnGuard on a node that contains an enemy fleet the block status of the node is unchanged. Normal friendly fleet merging will occur

Bug.0.0.5.6: AI is spending far more than it makes due to various issues with income and cost calculations routines and the adjustments made for difficulty to Credits Multiplier, causing them to overbuild then scrap, then repeat
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected bad code, adjusted spending ratios, the AI should now properly constrain itself to its income

Bug.0.0.5.6: Galaxy popups for structures, stars, and planets are enabled when the Empire Management, Espionage, and Leaders Screen is being displayed
Fix.0.0.5.6: Disabled this unneeded and distracting popups

Bug.0.0.5.6: Galaxy zoom and panning controls are enabled when the Empire Management, Espionage, and Leaders Screen is being displayed
Fix.0.0.5.6: Disabled this unneeded and distracting UI movement

Bug.0.0.5.6: AIs engagement rules are using different victory chances depending upon which part of the AI code is being ran at that time.
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected so engagement rules are the same regardless

Bug.0.0.5.6: Dismissing spies does not adjust the current empire financial situation until next turn
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected this miss

Bug.0.0.5.6: Dismissing Leaders does not adjust the current empire financial situation until next turn
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected this miss

Bug.0.0.5.6: Game is resetting resolution on application focus, causing issues since at launch it reads from the registry, but during this app focus event it reads from the config file, causing resolution changes, and window moving
Fix.0.0.5.6: This code makes no sense to me, just removed it

Bug.0.0.5.6: Defensive Blueprints Missile Bases and Orbital Batteries are missing the military upgrade options, causing offensive ships to be able to out-range them, with fixes for range damage and accuracy this is not good
Fix.0.0.5.6: Just added the military defensive special to those blueprints

Bug.0.0.5.6: Racial trait "perk_counterespionage_leveling_rate" is not working correctly according to UI. UI is treating it as if it is an addition to security rating, back in code is treating it as a multiplier
Fix.0.0.5.6: Decided to make it an additive bonus

Bug.0.0.5.6: Security Tooltips have inconsistent rounding in the UI for the numbers
Fix.0.0.5.6: Normalized rounding on those tooltips (colony + empire)

Bug.0.0.5.6: AI stopped attacking an enemy. An attacking fleet parked on an enemy planet for 20 turns without doing anything. Issue turned out to be MindControl. The AI was attempting to MindControl the planet, but no logic for that to actually happen. Note - This stopped ALL of their attacking fleets, they just stopped moving
Fix.0.0.5.6: Added missing logic so the AI will correctly use MindControl on planets

Bug.0.0.5.6: Bulk building civil transports or colony ships could result in them being silently canceled after clicking next turn under certain conditions
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected logic

Bug.0.0.5.6: Training spies could result in duplicate names, game only allocated a total possible of 26 spy names
Fix.0.0.5.6: Added logic to spy names to include their secret encryption key (name should be unique now)

Bug.0.0.5.6: Training spies costs increases every time, even if some of your spies are killed or dismissed
Fix.0.0.5.6: Spy training now is based on total number of spies you have and not on total number ever trained

Bug.0.0.5.6: Counter Espionage Spy ability is incorrectly adding in "Neural Scanner" per spy, appears to be a holdover from when spies had to be assigned to individual planets. Makes defensive spies too effective.
Fix.0.0.5.6: "Neural Scanner" now provides a flat security bonus

Bug.0.0.5.6: Empire Management Screen scrollbar does not work right. Disconnect between scrollbar and what is show in the scrollpane under certain conditions
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected scrollbar/scrollpane functionality

Bug.0.0.5.6: Colonization video when it shows the planets stats the population fades too fast to be read
Fix.0.0.5.6: Corrected by making the text remain visible for a few more seconds
WhatIsSol  [developer] Sep 14, 2018 @ 5:14am 
Bug.0.0.5.5c: rangeBoost Bonus being applied to PD weapons causes them to fire too early, before MIRV missiles have split
Fix.0.0.5.5c: Corrected by ignoring rangeBoost bonus to PD weapons

Bug.0.0.5.5c: Possible multiplayer sync issue - Leaders could set blueprint ship attack rating on cache value. Thus having a possible disparity between values depending upon last check performed.
Fix.0.0.5.5c: Corrected so leaders vs monsters/antaraes/etc calculations do not set the default cache value but just return the calculated value.

Bug.0.0.5.5c: Missiles do not have a beam defense rating (0 beam defense)
Fix.0.0.5.5c: Corrected defense calculation for missiles, basically they now get a beam defense rating based upon their speed

Bug.0.0.5.5c: Range to target is being incorrectly calculated for projectile weapons, resulting in accuracy oddities, most noticeable with PD weapons due to their short range
Fix.0.0.5.5c: Corrected range calculations issues, by not using an unassigned value

Bug.0.0.5.5c: Formation accuracy (formationPDAccuracy) for PD Defense is not being used, it is always using the Beam Attack (formationAccuracy)
Fix.0.0.5.5c: Corrected calculations to use correct value based upon weapon mods

Bug.0.0.5.5c: rangeBoost Bonus not being taking into account for rangeDissipation and Accuracy (similar to Bug.0.0.5.5b: Heavy Mount Weapons (Energy)) - This is a special used by Starbases, Outposts, and Orbital Beam Platforms.
Fix.0.0.5.5c: Corrected issue, makes these beam weapons much more dangerous on these structures

Bug.0.0.5.5c: Colony Production Tooltip structure score incorrectly subtracts the gravity modifier, so the total do not match
Fix.0.0.5.5c: Corrected mismatch on tooltip (this is a display only problem)

Bug.0.0.5.5b: Chances against fleets could result in a mathematical issue where the chance would result in a non-numeric values - causes all sorts of issues including display problems
Fix.0.0.5.5b: Checked and sets the chance to zero if it was going to be non-numeric

Bug.0.0.5.5b: Heavy Mount Weapons (Energy) - Damage calculation is wrong making them do no damage at range greater than normal weapon range also using hard coded values vs yaml file settings
Fix.0.0.5.5b: Corrected logic, by removing flawed redundant method and using a working lower base method

Bug.0.0.5.5a: Racial Traity Travel Speed Improvement - This trait works correctly in game, but does not provide any UI feedback and fleet ETA is wrong.
Fix.0.0.5.5a: Just updated the UI so it now correctly shows the improved speed of the ships in the blueprint and in the ETA calculations.

Bug.0.0.5.5: Racial Trait Combat Speed Improvement - This trait works correctly in game, but does not provide any feedback.
Fix.0.0.5.5: Just updated the UI so it now correctly shows the improved speed of the ships in the blueprint and in the tactical combat tooltips. Also calculates correctly into the ship defense rating.

Bug.0.0.5.5: Beam accuracy range loss calculation is being incorrectly applied. This is resulting in extreme low chances to actually hit and is actually making the special "rangemaster" to be actually a negative to hit chances.
Fix.0.0.5.5: Corrected logic, also switched to reuse the function from ship blueprint for consistency

Bug.0.0.5.5: Space Monster Dragon is not launching fighters
Fix.0.0.5.5: Working with Spud Dastardly he noted that the dronesPerGroup setting was missing for the parasite fighters, adding this in corrected this monster attack.

Bug.0.0.5.5: Calculations for military strength determination was using a different formula than Attack and Defense Ratings and was even less accurate then those values are. Found while watching the AI colonize a system with a monster in it only to have the monster kill the defending fleet and destroy the newy created colony.
Fix.0.0.5.5: Replaced those calculations with Attack and Defense Ratings, while not the best they are much better than the other ones.

Bug.0.0.5.5: Chance calculations for combat did not include any specials that are also weapons - most notable with the amoeba monster
Fix.0.0.5.5: Corrected this over-site

Bug.0.0.5.5: Moving population around causes some extra calculations and multiple calls to backend system on achievements (think this is the source of some delays people complain about in the base game)
Fix.0.0.5.5: Saved achievement results and avoid the calculation and setting of the achievement if it is already been obtained, Really unsure on the success of this "fix"

Bug.0.0.5.5: Empire Management Screen - If you have enough colonies and scroll down the tooltips (population, food, morale, pollution, etc) for the colony info do not display correctly, they will either not display or display wrong data
Fix.0.0.5.5: Corrected this issue

Bug.0.0.5.5: Now includes all needed fixes from Spud Dastardly's v55.1 Bug Fixes (Thanks Spud Dastardly)
Fix.0.0.5.5: Fixed the Elerian doomstar template attempting to use "rear facing heavy mount missiles." Changed them to all facing heavy armor missiles as presumably intended, Corrected fighter bay description to reflect the fact that they travel in groups of 3, not 4, and Added a "+" to tachyon scanner and hyperspace sensor tooltips to reflect the fact that the bonuses are additive.
WhatIsSol  [developer] Sep 14, 2018 @ 5:14am 
Bug.0.0.5.4: Tactical Combat Lockups/Crash - Found another source of common lockups during tactical battles, in certain situations I could force a lockup/application crash about 70-80% of the time. It is a timing issue, and related to some of my previous comments about race conditions in the code
Fix.0.0.5.4: Removed redundant and frequent UI refresh logic (which also has a minor speed boost) and put additional safe guards around some tactical objects - this is not perfect and would not consider done, but is much more stable than before, IMO

Bug.0.0.5.4: Tactical Combat sometimes show inaccurate weapon modifiers on button tool-tip (especially noticable on first ship selected at start of combat)
Fix.0.0.5.4: Corrected setting so the proper mods are show

Bug.0.0.5.4: Combat Colony visible but non-functional buttons for "MindControl" and "Destroy Planet" when you are the defender
Fix.0.0.5.4: If you are not the attacker those buttons will be hidden

Bug.0.0.5.4: FE_SKIPPED is missing, seen when tell a fleet to skip its turn on the fleet control panel
Fix.0.0.5.4: Added missed localization text for this tag.

Bug.0.0.5.4: Notifications can significantly add to start of turn lag (recorded over 67 seconds for displaying them)
Fix.0.0.5.4: Removed redundant notification refreshes going on, reduced the time from 67 seconds to 20 ms in the test save I was using.

Bug.0.0.5.4: Stellar Converter in tactical battles requires manual activation - so the AI never uses it.
Fix.0.0.5.4: Added game logic to allow for the auto usage of the Stellar Converter

Bug.0.0.5.4: Energy Absorber requires manual activation - so the AI never uses it.
Fix.0.0.5.4: Added game logic to allow for the auto usage of the energy absorber

Bug.0.0.5.4: Ship Blueprint Manager Fighters/Bombers/Heavy Bombers - DPS are the bottom of the edit screen always displays zero
Fix.0.0.5.4: Corrected this display issue

Bug.0.0.5.4: Ship Blueprint Manager Weapons - Production Cost increase not showing up for MIRV, Heavy Mount, or Semi-Guided modifier tool-tips
Fix.0.0.5.4: Corrected this tool-tip miss

Bug.0.0.5.4: Found tactical/auto-resolve a condition that could stop a ship from moving, but be out of range/arc for all weapons. The ship would just sit there until destroyed.
Fix.0.0.5.4: Game is zeroing out the linear velocity of the ship under certain condition but at the same time also zeroing out its angular velocity incorrectly. Thus removing the ship's ability to rotate. Corrected this so the ship will rotate correctly to bring it weapons to bear.

Bug.0.0.5.4: Ship Blueprint Management Screen allows for redundant (ignored) modules to be installed for example: ECM Jammer and Wide-Area ECM Jammer on the same ship (only one will be used in combat)
Fix.0.0.5.4: Changed screen so redundant modules like this are not show - current categories are: jammer, inertial, cloaking, and displacement. Full mod support to add others categories.

Bug.0.0.5.3: Linux Only - Game is forcing full screen mode on intro movies and leaving the app in full screen
Fix.0.0.5.3: Linux Only - Disabled this logic as its only point that I can tell is to piss the user off

Bug.0.0.5.3: Tactical Deployment not using correct setting for SMALL combat zone
Fix.0.0.5.3: Corrected

Bug.0.0.5.3: Sometimes the AI ships fly in a straight line and will not engage enemy fleet
Fix.0.0.5.3: The AI ships are getting stuck in a movement order, added logic to keep increasing their scanning range until enemy fleet is detected

Bug.0.0.5.3: Attack Rating Calculations fluctuate widely if weapon slots are added due to how the game is calculating Average Weapon Penetration
Fix.0.0.5.3: Removed the calculation for average weapon penetration and dispersed that logic to each individual weapon slot so that the value will be more accurate

Bug.0.0.5.3: Timeline Graph disconnect between graph data and drop down when graph is revisited (graph always defaults to SCORE, but the dropdown remains the same)
Fix.0.0.5.3: Just set the dropdown to also default to SCORE

Bug.0.0.5.3: Editing multiple Blueprints under certain conditions will result in the ship's role being set to a different role
Fix.0.0.5.3: Fixed the one case of this that I could find that was reproducable - not sure if it corrects in all cases

Bug.0.0.5.3: Spawned Pirates bases do not show up if playing race with omniscience (initial bases or bases upon load appear, but not re-spawns)
Fix.0.0.5.3: Corrected this issue, by sending notifications to all omniscience races about the spawned pirate base

Bug.0.0.5.3: Tactical Controls Overhaul (take 1) - corrected a number of issues with current controls - such as the Speed Slider not working, the Range Slider going to an impossible state, and various other issues
Fix.0.0.5.3: This is a basic overhaul of this functionality. How much controls you have over your ships now depends upon your ship selection. You have to go to squadron level if you want to control weapons, specials, reformation, setting roles, etc.

Bug.0.0.5.3: AI does not ask for prisoner exchange due to it not allocating that deal to an expense category and thus not willing to spend BC on it
Fix.0.0.5.3: Assigned prisoner exchange to ESPIONAGE transaction type. UPDATE: This is not a final fix - apparently found that the AI is not adding this deal to its possible deals, will fix in a later release

Bug.0.0.5.3: Colony set to Production Focus assigns too many workers to food production (Especially noticeable for races like Silicoid, who get unneeded farmers)
Fix.0.0.5.3: Corrected logic so that is only assigned needed amount of workers to farming

Bug.0.0.5.3: Plasma Web functionality does not match in game description
Fix.0.0.5.3: Corrected clinging nature of the web attack, lack of armor penetration on damage, and splash radius being too small

Bug.0.0.5.3: MOD SUPPORT: ARMOR_PENETRATION_LOWER_CAP global.yaml is not being correctly loaded
Fix.0.0.5.3: Fixed error in the load value for this setting (This is a modding fix since the normal yaml setting matches the games internal default)

Bug.0.0.5.3: AI and Autobuild will build food producing structures on planets that do not need them (mainly seen with conquered planets)
Fix.0.0.5.3: Checks a colony's food consumption needs and if zero sets structure score for food production to zero as well

Bug.0.0.5.3: Pulsar and Plasma Web Attack Rating calculations seem to be off
Fix.0.0.5.3: Adjusted formula to take in effect the area of the splash radius (previous modification just used the radius of the splash area). Looks more accurate

Bug.0.0.5.3: Amoeba attack/defense ratings are still too low, causing AI to kill themselves fighting it
Fix.0.0.5.3: Increased attack/defense ratings calculation for amoeba trying to simulate the splitting of this monster into sub-monsters

Bug.0.0.5.3: Auto-Resolve Time is too short
Fix.0.0.5.3: Increased the length of time this will run from 25 seconds to 60 seconds to avoid it timing out and falling back to mock simulation

Bug.0.0.5.2: Blackhole generator use by AI is using the wrong range value (pulling from a global instead of what is in the WeaponTypes.yaml)
Fix.0.0.5.2: Corrected range to properly use what is setup in the WeaponTypes.yaml file

Bug.0.0.5.2: Torpedoes initial attack vector is being calculated incorrectly (leading them to be widely inaccurate)
Fix.0.0.5.2: Corrected initial attack vector and also adjusted for FAST modifications

Bug.0.0.5.2: PD Effective Calculation for Multiple Weapon Slots yields odd defense calculation
Fix.0.0.5.2: Corrected it so that it is now average the weapon slots PD damage instead of summing it. So 4 PD Lasers in 1 slot vs 2 PD Lasers in 2 slots will yield same defense score.

Bug.0.0.5.2: When a colony is invaded, the colony owner changes before the structures are destroyed that are non-transferable. This causes problems with certain structure abilities.
Fix.0.0.5.2: Reordered the change of owner and structure destruction. This is really a 5x mod fix

Bug.0.0.5.2: AI Pollution Structure - Adjusted the value both for the AI and for the player AutoBuild
Fix.0.0.5.2: Removed constant value entirely from calculation

Bug.0.0.5.2: Racial Bonus to Espionage Risk is reducing offensive spy capability
Fix.0.0.5.2: Corrected flipped sign; added defensive logic to work with 5x mod

Bug.0.0.5.2: Encountered a NAN error during a tactical battle causing battle to stop
Fix.0.0.5.2: Put some defense code logic to avoid this in SetDestiny code. These look almost like race conditions in the code to me.

Bug.0.0.5.1: Encountered a division by zero error during a tactical battle causing battle to stop
Fix.0.0.5.1: Put some defense code logic to avoid this case in the OrderUseModule GetTarget code. These look almost like race conditions in the code to me.

Bug.0.0.5.1: Encountered a NullReferenceException during a tactical battle causing battle to stop
Fix.0.0.5.1: Placed some defensive code in the two routines that showed up on the log FillSpecialsButtons and FillSelectedSquadronInfo. These look almost like race conditions in the code to me. UPDATE: This was an effect not a cause of the larger issue

Bug.0.0.5.1: When the MIRV missile split into fragment, the fragments would loss all missile modifications
Fix.0.0.5.1: Added missing code to re-enable FAST, ARMORED, and ECCM benefits to missile fragments.

Bug.0.0.5.1: Missile modification ARMORED is not working
Fix.0.0.5.1: Added missing code to adjust missile health

Bug.0.0.5.1: Fighters sometimes circle around empty space for the entire battle
Fix.0.0.5.1: Corrected endless loop on orbitattack, fighters will now break from it and perform further actions

Bug.0.0.5.1: Missile modification FAST is not working
Fix.0.0.5.1: Adjusted logic to modify maxVelocity instead of velocity

Bug.0.0.5.1: Wide Area Jammer not given main defense benefit to equipped ship only the fleet bonus is working
Fix.0.0.5.1: Corrected missing check for wide area jammer in ships missile defense calculations

Bug.0.0.5.1: Research Treaties - Cost is prohibitively expensive as it is summing the cost of all previous research items
Fix.0.0.5.1: Adjusted Research Treaties to work basically the same as trade treaties - much lower cost, now affordable throughout the game (or at least as affordable as trade treaties)

Bug.0.0.5.1: Attack calculations are off for ships due to a leader bonus bug (present or not-present), resulting in missiles rating higher than beams
Fix.0.0.5.1: Corrected leader bonus issue in attack calculations

Bug.0.0.5.1: Missile/Torpedo Modification ECCM is doing nothing as it is reading the wrong value from the yaml file
Fix.0.0.5.1: Adjusted logic to read in the correct value

Bug.0.0.5.1: MIRV is doing excessive damage, logic is making each fragment do the same damage as the full missile, supposed to double damage overall, so with 4 fragments each should be doing 1/2 main missile damage
Fix.0.0.5.1: Corrected damage of MIRV fragments in tactical battle

Bug.0.0.5.0: Tactical Options Popup screen ignores the check box "Don't show this again" and always just turns itself off
Fix.0.0.5.0: Made that check box actually work correctly

Bug.0.0.5.0: "Galactic Currency Exchange" and "Interplanetary Security Transmitter" not having their benefit calculated for AI building
Fix.0.0.5.0: Added in logic to have their benefit considered for building order

Bug.0.0.5.0: ShipBuilding Screen displays too many decimal places in certain place for module size
Fix.0.0.5.0: Formatted size to fixed 2 decimal places

Bug.0.0.5.0: Ships not decloaking when they fire, but decloaking when they are moving; Phasing Cloack/Cloaking field basic work as same thing
Fix.0.0.5.0: Corrected logic, added avoidance and missileavoidance values to cloaking field

Bug.0.0.5.0: Ameoba attack ratings are way too low, causing AI to kill themselves fighting it
Rvt.0.0.5.0: This was ineffective on certain conditions prior to UCP 5.5

Bug.0.0.5.0: AI not using Blackhole generator
Fix.0.0.5.0: Fixed usage logic for blackhole generator special

Bug.0.0.5.0: Antaran Defense Fleet - Cruiser and Frigate numbers are flipped
Fix.0.0.5.0: Corrected the flip

Bug.0.0.5.0: Fleet Leader Bonus - Incorrectly being divided by 10
Fix.0.0.5.0: Changed to make the bonus divide by 100 as it is supposed to do. <Made to be Auto-Compatible with Spud Dastardly's Mod>

Bug.0.0.5.0: Tech - Telepathic Training adding to Spy Offensive ability
Fix.0.0.5.0: Removed this as it is only supposed to provide an experience bonus

Bug.0.0.5.0: AI Pollution Structure - AI is incorrectly evaluating the demand for these structures causing them to build in incorrect order
Fix.0.0.5.0: Removed high static value from build order evaluation for pollution reduction structures

Bug.0.0.4.x: Empire Security Tooltip - some values where not being correctly rounded
Old.0.0.4.x: Properly formatted them to match other screens

Bug.0.0.4.x: Option - Bug Report
Old.0.0.4.x: Removed option from the game (for this mod) - I do not want people reporting errors to NGD that I might have caused

Bug.0.0.4.x: AI is not offering trade treaties
Old.0.0.4.x: Adjusted chances that the AI will, by adjusting its cost/profit ratio

Bug.0.0.4.x: AI is overvaluing trade/research treaties - you can make insane lopsided deals
Old.0.0.4.x: Changed calculation so it is more of a neutral decision
WhatIsSol  [developer] Sep 14, 2018 @ 5:14am 
:::: 6.0: Enhancements
Add.0.0.5.8: Added Rally Point Support - Two defined Rally Points (RP1 and RP2). (RP1): Game will now automatically remember your last manually selected fleet destination. This one has no visible marking. (RP2): You can also select a colony you own on the galaxy map and mark it using CTRL + Click, this will put a blue pin on the colony top bar; Pressing the Rally Button will send a fleet to Rally Point (RP1); Pressing the Rally Button + CTRL will send the fleet to Rally Point (RP2); Rally Point has a keyboard shortcut that is editable from the normal option menu. The keyboard shortcut operates the same with respect to the CTRL key and which Rally Point a fleet will be sent to.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added custom user defined build lists for colonies. This features allows the player to setup a predefined list of structures and projects for construction. You can then assign this list to a colony and it will automatically build in that order. It will skip structures and projects: that you do not possess the tech for, the planet does not support due to environment, the planet has the wrong mineral levels, or the planet is missing a needed resource such as a moon or gems. It will also skip over the gravity generator if that inhabited planet’s race does not suffer a gravity penalty. If nothing is found that matches from the list, you will be prompted to select a build order as normal for that colony.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added Right Mouse Button support to most screens. This will now close most UI screens, some screens are excluded due to issues caused by this functionality.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added Middle Mouse Button support to the Planet Screen that will open the Colony's Build Popup Screen

Add.0.0.5.8: Added Middle Mouse Button support to the Galaxy Map. This will active the current bottom right button action. This allows you to quickly jump to colonies or fleets that need orders for instance.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added CTRL key support to the Planet Screen. Holding down the CTRL key while clicking the "Done" button or using new Right-Click Exit feature will exit the screen as normal and move the galaxy map to this planet

Add.0.0.5.8: Added CTRL key support to the Empire Management Screen, clicking on a planet's image with the CTRL key held down will exit the Empire Management Screen and take you to the planet on the galaxy map

Add.0.0.5.8: Added Notification Reduction for colony production output. This will stop some of those unneeded end of turn notification. It is highly configurable, You can have all notifications on for a certain number of turns, any Colony Flagged will always output all notification, or you can configure a list of structures and projects to be notified upon completion

Add.0.0.5.8: Added support for some new hotkeys on the galaxy map, Espionage Screen = F4, Leader Screen = F5, and Ship Design Screen = F6. There is no UI to changes these values. These are default mapped to different actions, to get them to work you need to go into the interface screen under options and make a few adjustments. Setting Empire Screen = F1, Research Screen = F2, Diplomacy Screen = F3, Planet Screen = F7, Fleet Screen = F8, Path to Victory Screen = F9, and Options Screen = F10 will give the logical screen progression layout.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added support for tooltips to dropdown combo box rows. Right now this is only supported on the Planet Screen for the Colony and AutoBuild Focus dropdowns

Add.0.0.5.8: Planet Structure List is now sorted by name instead of the internal hash map - this one has bugged me forever.

Add.0.0.5.8: MOD SUPPORT: Added support for armorCombatRatingBonus in the PlanetDefenses.yaml table. This works the same as the current infantryCombatRatingBonus but for armor.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added Marine and Armor Combat Rating and Hits to the colony Defender tool-tip, same data that is currently displayed for the combat colony screen.

Add.0.0.5.8: On game creation, your home star system will be fully explored. This can be turned off in the globals.yaml under setting AUTO_EXPLORE_HOMESTAR. Defaults to 1 which is on, set to 0 to disable

Add.0.0.5.8: Modified logic for pirate spawning so instead of counting from start of the game, it counts from first pirate spawn to determine what blueprint to use. This should help a bit in pre-warp startups.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added count down for next Galactic Council Vote on the Path to Victory Screen.

Add.0.0.5.8: Added new colony focus "Growth". This focus will try and split the population between food and production output. It will not put any workers on research unless they are on strike or the planet is full.

Add.0.0.5.8: Modification to the Espionage Screen so it now includes Spy Level in its sorting by Spy logic. Also modified it so it would properly recall your last sorting index and direction instead of resetting all the time

Chg.0.0.5.8: Discarding the "threatening fleet detected" notification if the fleet owner is a Monster or Orion civilization

Add.0.0.5.8: Orion homeworld will now have the artifact resource

Add.0.0.5.8: Added support for loading and clearing racial traits on the custom race screen. When you confirm your options by hitting "Next" they will be auto-saved.

Add.0.0.5.8: By default I'm setting the AI's heavy army value to the max. This change is to make them build stronger fleets. You can turn it off by setting the value AI.SP_GeneralStrategy::HEAVY_ARMY to 0 if desired in Globals.yaml

Add.0.0.5.8: Removed the distraction of the underlying galaxy map popups when you are viewing the Fleet Management Screen or Known Planets screen.

Chg.0.0.5.8: Refreshed/Added some CSV settings that control tool tips displays (the ones that are relative to base game) from Spud Dastardly's "5X - The Ultimate Balance Mod v4.2.1" with permission of course

Chg.0.0.5.8: Improved startup time by reducing loading of assets and skipping fade ins/fade outs. Also tied all the intro videos to the "ShowIntroCinematic" configuration setting. So if for some reason you want to see all the intro videos you can now.

Chg.0.0.5.8: Made another adjustment to the Ship Blueprint Defense Rating Calculations. I'm hoping this corrects issues with that value going extremely large when certain specials are equipped.

Add.0.0.5.7b: Modified High Gravity Tolerant Race Trait to allow colonizing of normal gravity planets without a penalty. This is how it worked in MOO 2 and seems to justify this being a Racial Trait that costs 4 points in the base game. This change is controllable by a global.yaml setting called "GRAVITY_TOLERANT_HIGH_EXPANDED". It will default to "1" which is on, but setting it to "0" will restore old logic.

Add.0.0.5.7b: Espionage Screen risk levels for missions are Low, Medium, and High. Added new categories Very Low, Low, Medium, High, and Very High to make it a little more grainular

Add.0.0.5.7b: MOD SUPPORT: Added support for Morale structures that have both a local and a star system bonus by correcting Colony Morale tooltip so it is not double displayed and only proper bonuses are shown

Add.0.0.5.7b: MOD SUPPORT: Added support for Spud Dastardly's 5X change so the torpedo weapon mod for Fast has the correct icon on the blueprint and tooltip screens

Chg.0.0.5.7b: Loading of configuration settings are disabled for multiplayer for now - prevents an issue with loading saved multiplayer games where you have created a new multiplayer game with different settings.

Add.0.0.5.7b: Added the rival civlization's OathBreakerScore and WarmongerScore to the value calculations the AI attributes to long term payments value.

Chg.0.0.5.7a: Bombers will now make 2 bomber runs against the same target before returning to carrier for reload, before they where making a single run.

Chg.0.0.5.7a: MOD SUPPORT: Adjusted logic for Cyber Security Link so that it only sets the agent's level if their current level is less than the value for this tech.

Chg.0.0.5.7a: MOD SUPPORT: Enhanced the loading of default settings while creating a new game to better support modded values in the configuration settings

Chg.0.0.5.7: Adjusted trade treaty per-turn tooltip to show up to 2 digits of precision. It was just truncating the float.

Add.0.0.5.7: Added tech Level to the tech name show during audience with alien races. This at least gives you an indication of the tech's relative worth on the research tree during research trading

Chg.0.0.5.7: Increased the size of the Colony's Pollution field to prevent it from overlapping other UI elements. Also reworked the pollution tooltip to make it more obvious what is subtracting vs adding to colony's pollution

Chg.0.0.5.7: Numerous miscellaneous colony tooltips changes for food, production, research, income, etc. Mainly focused on making the numbers display similar digit lengths and stop showing 5.663333333 for instance. They should be constrained to a max of 2 digits after decimal point

Add.0.0.5.7: The "Options" -> "GamePlay" -> "Mute Advisor" will also now mute the opening race selection narration as well

Add.0.0.5.7: MOD SUPPORT: Switch model positioning to be based off of hullClass and not the hard-coded hullkey value. Thus allowing modders to add new hulls without causing the location of the ship to shift around on them

Add.0.0.5.7: Colony build popup has a delay of 60ms between tiles. This makes this screen take longer and longer to load as the game progresses and the number of objects you can build increased. Reduced this unneeded delay to 0 ms

Add.0.0.5.7: Added details of the buildable object to the build queue, gives similar information as the build popup selection window has, just more information for the user.

Add.0.0.5.7: Tech choice screen for weapons do not show the tactical stats of the weapons, making selection a guessing game if the user does not know them in advance. Corrected this oversight.

Add.0.0.5.7: Pollution on a planet is no longer constrained by max pollution capacity. Pollution capacity is now considered a tipping point. If you do not reduce pollution below the pollution capacity the planet will degrade. This prevents a common pollution abuse tactic. Also modified terraforming to not set pollution to zero but now lowers it by the pollution capacity of the planet. This is also to prevent a possible exploit.

Add.0.0.5.7: Modified the operation of the Autobuild function. It will now stay enabled until the user disables it. So you can add manual elements to the production queue or rearrange it without the game auto disabling this feature. This is another of the anti-micromanagement changes.

Add.0.0.5.7: Added new colony option - Auto Cleanup. This works similar to the project cleanup. Your colony will spend production points in an attempt to keep the colony clean of pollution. This is hopefully a big anti-micromanagement change. This change is completely optional - you can toggle it on/off on a per colony basis.

Add.0.0.5.7: Added new colony focus type "Clean". This will add enough farmers to feed the colony, workers until the planet would start producing pollution, and then the rest on research. Another anti-micromanagement change.

Add.0.0.5.7: MOD SUPPORT: Modified custom race traits screen, just removed some dead space to make more room for traits.

Add.0.0.5.7: MOD SUPPORT: Modified game stats display to remove out zero modifies. Only noticeable when I was removing research bonus from biospheres. The description was still listing "Research: +0" so this change makes that line entry disappear

Add.0.0.5.7: MOD SUPPORT: Added support for the structure bonus of maxPopulationBonus. Updated the colony structure types yaml file to include this bonus for biospheres, which now like in Master of Orion 2, will increase max population of a planet by 2.

Add.0.0.5.7: A major civilization's homeworld will now always have at least one moon if "Balanced Starting Conditions" is enabled.

Add.0.0.5.7: Empire Management Screen switched sort of Production from completion ETA to production item names since I think that is more useful

Add.0.0.5.7: MOD SUPPORT: Added TRADE_LENGTH to the Backend.Diplomacy.ResearchTreaty global.yaml section. It will control the length a research treaty same as how it works for trade treaty currently.

Add.0.0.5.7: MOD SUPPORT: For local mods the game will now load and display the contents of any "description.txt" file located in the mod folder on the mod management screen.

Add.0.0.5.7: Modified the ordering of MODS in this game, dropped the hashcode from the ordering code, that was causing reorder on any change. This will require you to reorder your mods after this update but should prevent further reordering, unless the local folder name is changed or in the case of the steam workshop the steam id is modified. This also corrects a sorting bug if a local mod and a steam mod had the same name.

Add.0.0.5.7: Added a new AntaranSettings USE_RANDOM_ATTACK_LOCATION defaults to 1. Setting this to 0 restores the Antaran Attack location back to the default (strongest fleet location) vs default UCP (random colony)

Add.0.0.5.7: MOD SUPPORT: Added scrollbar to Ship Blueprint Management Screen allowing for more than the current max of 8 (ADDITIONAL_DESIGNS + known hull sizes) designs. Allows mods to add hulls and still have them editable in the game. ADDITIONAL_DESIGNS is a new global variable located Globals.yaml in the Backend.Fleets.ShipBlueprint section. Defaults to 2, same as default game.

Add.0.0.5.6: Random Event that donates money to a civilization gives no indication to the amount, added this missing data element.

Chg.0.0.5.6: Disabled tactical combat logic that could result in the AI keeping ships in reserve that have leaders. The check it has it not really valid and just causes oddities in combat.

Chg.0.0.5.6: Added a new global value to the Globals.yaml for controlling blueprints templates called IGNORE_PRIORITIZE_MODS. Setting this to non-zero (default in this release) causes the template engine to ignore the "prioritizeMods" setting for weapon slots. This once again is just an adjustment to make the AI build more combat worthy ships.

Chg.0.0.5.6: AI blueprint adjustment, kind of normalized point defense weapons (since some designs had way too many or way too few), removed anti-missile rockets (since they do not scale at all), made all designs above cruiser automatically use battle pods tech if available. This change like the previous bomb adjustments is to just make the AI build overall better combat worthy ships.

Add.0.0.5.6: Added text to InGame Option Menu to show the version # of the UCP dll and common libraries installed. Just a minor verification that this mod is installed properly.

Chg.0.0.5.6: AIs defensive selection inside a system has been tweaked to prefer to save it owns fleet if possible - prevents a common AI abuse tactic. This should result in better AI defensive tactics

Chg.0.0.5.6: AIs target selection inside a system has been tweaked to prefer to attack settlements if possible, before attacking fleets - prevents a common AI abuse tactic. This should result in better AI offensive tactics

Chg.0.0.5.6: AIs selection logic modified a bit for when and what planets to invade or bomb, tweaked civilization threat detection ratings, this should result in a slightly more aggressive AI

Add.0.0.5.6: Added an indicator whether a planet has a moon to the various planet screens

Add.0.0.5.6: Random Event that destroys ships gives no indication of what ship or where, added this missing data element. Now the ship name is displayed and clicking on the notification will take you to its last star system.
WhatIsSol  [developer] Sep 14, 2018 @ 5:15am 
Chg.0.0.5.5c: MOD SUPPORT: Change made to support different planets sizes. For modders the UI keys off of "level" type now.

Chg.0.0.5.5c: MOD SUPPORT: Change made to support increased number of BIOME, left off two SWF file, UncolonizedPlanet.SWF and KnownPlanets.SWF - corrected this miss. For modders the UI keys off of "classType" type now.

Add.0.0.5.5c: MOD SUPPORT: Added a new logging message for mods that do not correctly set the StructureTypes in the ColonyStructureTypes.

Add.0.0.5.5c: MOD SUPPORT: damageBoost special bonus this is modding support change only, just made it work, in the base game it is set to 1.0 so no difference.

Add.0.0.5.5c: Disabled LogitechKeyboardManager LED lighting adjustment. The game will now just ignore the lighting on the keyboard

Add.0.0.5.5c: Disabled Telemetry - This is just a bunch of info the game sends up to some remote logging service, I do not see the point.

Add.0.0.5.5b: MOD SUPPORT: UI Pollution Tooltip for Project Cleanup shows incorrect sign (negative = cleaning up) - Corrected UI to display correctly

Chg.0.0.5.5: Monster bombs - adjusted down some of the monsters that had excessive bombs - Space Dragon and Squid; Space dragon in particular this was preventing it from having its breath attack

Add.0.0.5.5: ShipBlueprint Tooltip - Added in Facing information for weapons that was previous missing from this enhancement

Chg.0.0.5.5: Modified the Galactic Vote a bit, given a choice between two candidates the AI will pick one that they are not at war with occasionally, this is really not a huge shift.

Chg.0.0.5.5: Invading Planets Capture Tech - Adjusted Conquer Tech Chances previous chances was locked to game turn, so every conquered planet on a turn was producing the same chance roll.

Add.0.0.5.5: Evolving Technologies now gains a benefit, as you research it you will receive a bonus that will increase available ship space

Add.0.0.5.5: MOD SUPPORT: Added back the pollution multiplier reduction for colony structures per a request. This mod does not modify any structures to actually take advantage of this change just makes it possible.

Add.0.0.5.5: Added setting to allow forcing of the Galactic Council Vote on a specific turn even if all races have not found each other. Setting is FORCE_FORMATION_TURN in globals.yaml. Setting it to -1 or deleting if from globals.yaml disabled this feature

Chg.0.0.5.5: AI goal settings removed the AvoidAllConflicts setting

Chg.0.0.5.5: Ship Defense Rating Calculations now include ECM jammers and attempted to make them on the same scale as Ship Attack Rating

Add.0.0.5.5: Windows Only - Full Screen Borderless with position control. 100% Optional - your mileage my vary. Note: (1) If you change resolution you have to leave and re-enter focus for it to take effect. (2) Warnings: Do not toggle fullscreen with this active or apply default graphic settings or else the app will just crash. Do not turn this on for OSX or Linux as it absolutely will not work. If you encounter any issues just remove the borderlessWindow, borderless, and borderlessY settings from that config file and restart game. (3) New Settings: Settings I use in the config.cfg file under the [Graphics] setting: FullScreen = False, Resolution = 1920x1080, borderlessWindow = True, borderlessX = 1920, borderlessY = 0 (This sets the game to use this new logic, and places the game on my middle monitor). If you wanted it on your left screen (or only have 1 screen) set borderlessX = 0

Add.0.0.5.5: Quake/Radiation Incident Notification - Now when you click on the notification instead of disappearing will take you to the colony that had the issue
WhatIsSol  [developer] Sep 14, 2018 @ 5:15am 
Chg.0.0.5.4: Combat Colony - Completely redid the logic for calculating leader bonuses and the enhanced combat colony labels

Chg.0.0.5.4: Disabled Tobii EyeTracking (Windows) at least on my sytsem that is causing a good deal of general UI lag

Chg.0.0.5.4: Tactical Battles - Added back mass hold button functionality

Add.0.0.5.4: AI will now use a Stellar Converter to destroy a planet. Currently the Antaran's will always do this and the other races will do it based off their unused racial setting of stellarConverterInclination (0-10) where
10 = 100% chance.

Chg.0.0.5.4: Modified overkill value from 2.5 to 1.65; just seeing if this reduces the targetting overkill

Add.0.0.5.4: Updated ship blueprint editing and weapon tool-tips to show adjusted numbers for weapons for installed weapon modifications

Add.0.0.5.4: Added notification popup for Science Victory, indicating Who, What, and Where very similar to the Economic Victory notifications. I got tired of being blind-sighted about this victory condition by the AI.

Add.0.0.5.4: MOD SUPPORT: Added logic to allow modders to let the AI upgrade special modules on a ship template, but only allow one of them. So they can add Mult-wave ECM Jammer and ECM Jammer and the game will use the first one of the list that it knows

Add.0.0.5.3: Added on the Empire Management Screen tooltips for the little icons that appear below a planet's name - shows stuff like revolt, gravity issues, assimilating population, etc.

Chg.0.0.5.3: Tutorial - Removed link on single player game to the tutorial since it is hopelessly broken

Add.0.0.5.3: Added on the Empire Management Screen indication that a colony has a moon (shows up with the special resource text under the colony's name)

Add.0.0.5.3: Added tooltips for Civilian, Military, Bombs, and Marine Icons on the Fleet Control Panel since this is a common question

Chg.0.0.5.3: Torpedoes reduced spread to make them more accurate at longer range

Add.0.0.5.3: Production/Research Focus - Modified these planet focus so that it will attempt for minor population growth (assuming the planet is not full and the planet is occupied by races that need food)

Add.0.0.5.3: TechTree - Made the known techs border a brighter yellow and a bit thicker, hoping this emphasizes which techs your race actually knows, mainly trying to emphasize for nodes that contrain branch choices

Add.0.0.5.3: AutoCast - Toggled AutoCast of specials on, otherwise specials like "automated repair" have to be turned on manually or they will not work

Add.0.0.5.3: Colony Production Queue - Set to be enabled by default, I know I turn it on at the start of ever game

Add.0.0.5.3: Tactical Combat Squadron Selector Keys - Added keys "[" and "]" to cycle though your squadrons (Prev/Next)

Fix.0.0.5.3: Star Fortress not displaying the attack/defense/hull ratings corrected this mistake

Add.0.0.5.2: Antaran Attack Fleet - Made the target colony be random instead of always targeting the location of the civilization's largest fleet.

Add.0.0.5.2: AI Ship Blueprints - Reduced the number of bombs the AI likes to put on its ships, thus increasing there combat capability in fleet battles.

Add.0.0.5.1: Fighters Re-targeting - If fighters still have ammo left and the ship squadron they where attacking is destroyed they will re-target another enemy instead of returning to home ship. Basically gives them free dauntless type capabilities.

Chg.0.0.5.1: Military Outpost Tooltip - Moved tooltip higher to not overlap combat chances.

Add.0.0.5.0: Ship Naming - Increased length of possible names and allowed the space character.

Add.0.0.5.0: Trade/Research Treaty - Added per-turn yield to tooltips.

Add.0.0.5.0: Empire Research Tooltip - Added missing category for research treaties that are currently active.

Add.0.0.5.0: AI Spending Habits - Adjusted some spending habits on when the AI would rush buy starbase and perform normal ship upgrades.

Old.0.0.4.x: Combat Fleet Toolip - Added Information on ships on the Fleet Combat Screen.

Old.0.0.4.x: Military Outpost Tooltip - Added a tooltip for the outposts detailing attack and defense ratings as well as hull integrity of the structure.

Old.0.0.4.x: Changed game logic from only display "starbase" icon above planet to any orbital defensive structures. Added the missing defensive (missile base and orbital batteries) structures to the list. I got tired of attacking planets and going - wow they have a missile base. Also added the attack/defense/hull ratings to these as well.

Old.0.0.4.x: Victory Screen - You can now see victory conditions rankings even if that victory type is disabled.

Old.0.0.4.x: Settings Save/Load - Game now recalls most but not all your settings. So if for instance you do not like pirates turn it off in advanced and from then on every game you play will have it turned off.

Old.0.0.4.x: Invading Planets Capture Tech - After invasion is done there is a possibility of you acquiring a piece of tech from the enemy.

Old.0.0.4.x: Colony Invasion - Removed drop ship mechanic, adjusted combat formula to compensate (thanks Spud), now shows when the attacker troops are killed. Added graphic of bombing while this was going on just to give you something to watch.

Old.0.0.4.x: Planet Food Tooltip - Added internal game values of life points current / needed for next population. (In Config.cfg add "UIShowRawData = True" to [UCP] section)

Old.0.0.4.x: ShipBlueprint Tooltip - As a small tooltip to your ships so you can tell the difference between Frigate III and Frigate IV. Shows Leaders Stat info as well.

Old.0.0.4.x: New Game - Changed to just auto select a random race, corrected issue so only playable races will be selected.

Old.0.0.4.x: Combat Colony - Added attack and defense numbers for marines and armor on the screen.

Old.0.0.4.x: Civil Transports - Made it clearer what race a civil transport is carrying, just added the passenger race to the end of the ship name.

Old.0.0.4.x: Intro - Shortened intro - so game loads faster, technically just aborting movie at start and turning off audio. Not the best fix, but about as much effort as I wanted to put on this.

Old.0.0.4.x: Version Info - Modified main menu version # so it is obvious that this mod is installed.

Old.0.0.4.x: Trade Treaty - Moved this from Economic to Diplomatic budget line item for the AI.

Old.0.0.4.x: NextTurnSound Option - I hate the next turn sound, gives me a headache. Added a new config option in the config.cfg file, just add "NextTurnSound = STARMAP_CLICK" in the [SOUND] section (at the end) after the entry for Music. (Note if this line is missing you will still get that annoying gong sound). Made an option since some people might like that and was wondering how it would work out.

Old.0.0.4.x: Audience Message Box - They spent all this time animating the models and then placed a dialog box on top of it. This just moves to the top left.

Old.0.0.3.x: Option - Bug Report - Removed non-functional option from the game
