Star Trek Expanded modmod

This modmod adds two UUs to every civ. On top of that, I added a leader for each trait combination, bringing the total on 78 leaders. A third thing added is the "Fast Marathon" gamespeed, which has Marathon research, but Normal construction times. Another added thingie is the religions having separate effects. It also features a new calendar, which will keep up better with the techrate. It also contains the Wormholes modmod by TC01, which places 1-3 wormholes (dependent on mapsize) on the map.
The dowload is already patched to 2.37. It goes as a separate mod in the ~/Beyond the Sword/Mods folder.

Great work! :thumbsup:

First spoiler says:

Romulans: D'deridex, replaces Light V. 300, 15 strength, 3 speed, starts with Cloaking Device.
Cardassians: Nor-type starbase, replaces Starbase II. Available at Shielding, 20 strength, can move, can't attack, can't enter Solar System, can upgrade to Starbase I.

That means the fearsome D'deridex can't capture or defend systems? And Starbase II 'upgrades' to Starbase I?

apenpaap · Jul 7, 2009

Hmm, I hadn't thought of the Cloak not allowing the Warbird to conquer systems. Maybe I'll give it a few First Strikes instead, like I did with the D7.

Some explanation on the Nor class: the Cardassians' replacement for the Starbase II is identical to a Starbase I which is able to move. It also comes at the same tech. When your Construction ships build a starbase, it'll always be the immovable Starbase I. For some gold, you can upgrade it into a Nor class, and make it able to move. If you then need it to be fixed again (a moving starbase doesn't give you culture like the unmovable one does), you can upgrade it into the immovable Starbase I and use it to get resources and stuff.

If I just had the Nor replace the Starbase I, you couldn't use it to expand your territory, and the Cardassians wouldn't be able to claim resources (apart from those that spawn close to their starsystems) until Quantum Torpedo. As it is now, the Cadassians have a very powerful UU, but no Starbase II when Quantum Torpedo comes aroiund.

Ah, I see.

(Come to think of it, extra 1st strikes is a very good representation of a ship decloaking. Pity you can't move a fleet undetected, but one has to make choices...)

This modmod adds a second UU to every civ. On top of that, I added a leader for each trait combination, bringing the total on 78 leaders. A third thing added is the "Fast Marathon" gamespeed, which has Marathon research, but Normal construction times.
The dowload is already patched to 2.15. It goes as a separate mod in the ~/Beyond the Sword/Mods folder.

Great Idea , the best are the lot of Leaders. :goodjob:

Could i use them for my own mod-mod ?
In addition the Idea of adding first strikes to simulate Cloak ist great, i am thinking of doing the same in my mod-mod( i will start it when the new models have realsed.)

^Of course you may use them for your modmod. Just put a link to this thread in a credits-thingie.

apenpaap · Jul 13, 2009

I released version 1.1 of this. It has the following changes:
Added a first strike chance to the D7
Removed D'deridex free Cloaking Device, but gave 2-5 first strikes and ability to bombard city defenses
Removed the option to upgrade Nor to Starbase I (was very buggy)
Vidiian Doctor and Vaadwaur Stasis Pod Operator give -1 food
Krenim Warship has 8 first strike chances instead of 8 first strikes
Replaced Alpha-Hirogen with Hirogen Hunter (Replaces Exploration V, cost -20 hammers, +4 strength.
Devore Guard ship has -10% city defence
Moved start year back to 2120
Changed the calendar so that it keeps up better with the tech rate and focuses on the 2150s, 2260s,2360s and 70s

Agent327 · Jul 13, 2009

Excellent! DLing...

apenpaap · Jul 21, 2009

I released version 1.2, which is compatible with patch 2.30. Other changed things:
Added Wormholes modmod by TC-01
Gave the First Federation Cube Probe correct art
Gave the Terran NX class correct art
Gave the Devore Guard Ship correct art
Art for Bajoran Light VI and Heavy II is now the USS Opaka from the Millenium scenario
Some minor text and leader personality tweaks

Agent327 · Jul 21, 2009

And downloaded again.

apenpaap · Aug 3, 2009

I released version 1.30. The only thing it changes is that it is compatible with version 2.37. I am planning more changes for version 1.4, though (either a third UU or a second UB for each civ, but I haven't decided which.)

Zuul · Aug 18, 2009

Can't download it :/

apenpaap · Aug 21, 2009

Tryt again. Maybe filefront wasn't working or somethng. Here it works.

apenpaap · Sep 8, 2009

I added a new version. It adds a third UU to each civ.

TC01 · Sep 8, 2009

Do you want to add in the latest version of Wormholes (1.4)?

If you haven't touched CvFinalFrontierEvents.py or CvAI.py (outside of my own modmod), it should be really easy- just copy-pasting the module and then overwriting those python files. (and overwriting the mapscripts). If not, I can do the merge for you if you want.

apenpaap · Sep 8, 2009

I'll merge it in myself. A version with it should be up in a minutes or fifteen.

Agent327 · Sep 8, 2009

Cool!

both of you, guys.

apenpaap · Sep 13, 2009

I made another update: this one replaces Mirror Sisko with Mirror O'brien and replaces a number of bad leaderheads.

TC01 · Sep 13, 2009

Q: Why doesn't the First Federation get a Cube Probe as their starting unit instead of a generic probe? And why do goody huts spawn generic Probes for them?
A: I have tried changing their starting unit, but it didn't work. As soon as I figure out how to change it, it will get changed into a Cube Probe. Same for the goody huts.

Issue here is that the game's XML starting units code doesn't necessarily work- it won't place units on the same tile as your starting city. So in FinalFrontier.py, Jon Shafer overrode this and made the game place starting units via the mapscript. Deanej probably changed StarTrek and StarTrekFlat (and Wormholes as well, since it was just an edited StarTrekFlat) to place probes. But it places UNIT_PROBE, not UNITCLASS_PROBE.

So to make this work, you'd have to edit the mapscripts, add a check to see if the player was the First Federation, and if they were, create a Cube Probe instead. You'd have to replace these lines in StarTrek, StarTrekFlat, and Wormholes (but not SpiralGalaxy, SpiralGalaxyManyCivs, or WormholesSpiralGalaxy):

Code:

			if (pPlayer.getNumUnits() == 0):
				iUnitType = gc.getInfoTypeForString("UNIT_PROBE")
				pPlayer.initUnit(iUnitType, pRandomPlot.getX(), pRandomPlot.getY(), UnitAITypes.NO_UNITAI, DirectionTypes.NO_DIRECTION)

with something like this. I'm assuming UNIT_CUBE_PROBE is the probe UU? Is it UNIT_FF_PROBE?

Code:

			if (pPlayer.getNumUnits() == 0):

[COLOR="Red"]				if pPlayer.getCivilizationType() == gc.getInfoTypeForString("CIVILIZATION_FIRST_FEDERATION"):
					iUnitType = gc.getInfoTypeForString("UNIT_CUBE_PROBE")
				else:
					iUnitType = gc.getInfoTypeForString("UNIT_PROBE")[/COLOR]

				pPlayer.initUnit(iUnitType, pRandomPlot.getX(), pRandomPlot.getY(), UnitAITypes.NO_UNITAI, DirectionTypes.NO_DIRECTION)

God-Emperor · Sep 13, 2009

The "built-in" way to get the civ-specific unit for a unitclass is to do something like this:

Code:

		pCivilization = gc.getCivilizationInfo( pPlayer.getCivilizationType())
		iUnitClass = gc.getInfoTypeForString("UNITCLASS_PROBE")
		iUnitType = pCivilization.getCivilizationUnits( iUnitClass ) # get this civilization's unit for this unitclass
