What i will do when this MOD comes out...something Phoenix will be happy for...(i hope)

I'm living in Belgium (Europe), our (little) country has a very good gamemagazine with their own MOD section, from time to time there is also talk about EAW/FOC mods.

http://pcgameplay.be/

I shall write to this magazine to inform them about this mod that Phoenix worked so long on, that is a promise !

Compared to the USA of course, our little country does not present much in 'games' , but i can make sure that our neigbours from Holland (The Netherlands) are also informed about this mod (heh, Belgium and The Netherlands do speak the same language, DUTCH).

This way, several thousands of readers are also aware of the magnificent work that this mod presents, i can do no less !

So, this is MY WAY of respect and support for the maker of this great product !

Now, fingers crossed, we can expect the mod very soon...hehe...hint hint ...

Best to you all !

From belgium ! the land of the best chocolate in the world !

Wow, Theempirewins, that would be excellent ! Periodical advertisement would go a really long way towards our little community. My last mod got in PC Zone, which is a UK magazine, and we exceeded our monthly bandwidth limit in one day from all the traffic. If just 1% of those people decide to join the forums or one of them can help with mapping or something, that's huge. So thanks much! You'll have to let me know if or when they decided to publish us so I can try to get a copy, although I'll probably need translation help, heh (I could handle French, but not Dutch).

[Invadious]

I'm Dutch and i will be glad to translate your letter (I will do my best ) Just pm about it and i'll send the translated letter to Theempirewins
Oh and belguim has a population of: 10.584.534 ppl
And Holland (The Netherlands) has ~16.000.000 ppl
I'm not saying everybody in holland and belgium reads the magazine but you will get more members because of this

I could certainly use the help mapping.

[Phoenix Rising]

Thanks, Invadious, and welcome to our forums. Well, it's certainly more people than I could reach on my own.

Very good Invadious, if i can help in any way i can (except modding ;-) ) let me know.

The moment the mod comes out, i will do anything in my power to promote this, the more people know about this, the better.

Have a nice WE all.

[Invadious]

You can promote my mod lol jk.
Oh and Phoenix Risisng thx for the welcome, oh and no problem that's why i'm here (to help you around a bit and afcourse for all the news )

Never has a ship with so many weapons been put into EaW. I ran into not just one, but two unique overflow exceptions related to hardpoints alone. But I willed it into working and I must say, it is awesome.

What did you do to get around the overflow problem? I'd like to know because you could probably get around the max # of factions the same way, but even if not, I'd still like to know how you did it.

Well, I think it's a different issue with factions, but there's really no way to circumvent an overflow; you still have to work within the character limitation (4096 per hardpoint list). I did it by reducing hardpoint name sizes to eight characters or less and removing all whitespace, which actually wastes tons of characters. But there's no way to get more than 4096 without changing the code.

[ShadowCrow]

So you put 4096 hardpoints in one file, and 4096 hardpoints in another file? e.g. 4096 hardpoints in the Hardpoints.xml, 4096 hardpoints in Hardpoints_Expansion.xml

Or do you mean you put 4096 hardpoints on one file and made them universal for all the ships?

[Phoenix Rising]

No, 4096 characters in the hardpoints list of any given ship.

How long do you think it would take to kill the soveriegn? using 48 fully upgraded b-wings?

[marsneedswomen]

Maybe 2-3 Mon Cal 120 Dreadnoughts. Assuming the Sov doesn't fire its super beam.

[sideshow_bob]

i say 30 fully done arse-kicking Y-WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dane Kiet]

I said how LONG it would take, i gave you the units............

[Dr-Ludvig]

48 fully upgraded b-wings KICKS ASS!!! so i dont think that would take long, depending on the escort... if it has a lot of corvettes or other anti-fighter, well then the B-wings might get in trouble...

[jdk002]

If he has Lancer-class, and you have a pure fighter attack on a Sovereign-class. Start praying.

[sideshow_bob]

the single lancer can't cpover the whole soverign...

[Valter]

That single lancer, along with the Sovereign's compliment of TIE fighters, will eventually wipe out all of the B-wings. Consider how long it will take those B-wings to destroy the Sovereign with the amount of hull integrity it has. The Rebels will have to continually send in reinforcements and suffer heavy losses before destroying the Sovereign.
