Has anyone written a script using the Doomsday Machine before? Did it work and is it just something I am doing? Or, has this problem been encountered before and there is a workaround for it?
The script was written for OP, by the way.

SFC2 OP Missions
These are a set of patrols that will be used on the Storm Season II campaign for OP. I will, however, be making another recompile soon though. I dont have a download link for the EAW missions yet.

Is there anyway of turning off the 'you can kill a Doomsday Machine with a fighter/shuttle' ability? I can't tell you how many times I've used a FCV and had a fighter squadron fly through the thing hit it and kill it. Ridiculous!
Also if I were to get you a copy of FASA Trek's scenario "A Doomsday Like Any Other" would you be inclined to create a mission based or two on it? I lone Chandley class would be the star of the show out in the FASA OUTBACK (Gorn-Romulan-Federation Frontier). I envision part 1 to be rescue a small merchant/pirate ship carrying a control device. Part 2 is ?oh my god, the DM is going to eat planet Ectair? if we don?t acquire/capture and ram a luxury liner down its throat (fails). Part 3 involves sending a boarding party on it to capture it before a Romulan squadron decides to capture it for themselves?
Qapla!

I did a search on STMODDIRECTORY for "SFC Model Pack" and bam! I got the d/l link:
http://www.stcd.sgnonline.com/network/sfcmods.htm
I LOVE the Doomsday Machine included in this pack! Looks more accurate IMHO.
Now we have:
1. Stock Taldren
2. Stock Retexture John Stone
3. Azel's TNG version
4. this one.
Post by: Pestalence on August 15, 2003, 08:39:13 pm
is it possible for you to compile it for a Skirmish mission?
or a Multi-player Mission for GSA?
I would love to create a custom shiplist based on your script and the model listed in the post above...
I wanted to take FS's Shiplist and add in the Planet Killer Doomsday Machine into an entry and giving it a high warp value, moderate to low impulse, slow accelleration value, slow turn value, an extremely hard hull and high armor, 4 Fusion Cannons FA only, and tractors, No transporters and lots of marines (to prevent capture)
Now hopefully in game the model will not be able to Ram, and also, hopefully someone can help me thing of a way to where it will do lots of damage per volley.... while at the same time, trying to keep it looking like the TOS episode....
Thanks

To get around this, for SS2, I asked Jeff to place 4 AMD12 on the DM. This kills shuttles quickly, and usually gets most fighters as well. I also asked him to replace the stock PPDs on the DM with TRHs (Heavy Tractor-Repulsor Beams),since PPDs dont work at close range. Alternatively, a Mauler might also work well.
I've almost finished the mission script, no more problems with it so far.
Here's a pic someone took whilst testing the game in mission for me.
As for other Doomsday scenarios, by all means, you can either post any info here, or send to my email address FPF_TraceyG@hotmail.com
Oh, I see no reason why a Doomsday script can't be written for skirmish either.
Post by: Rod O'neal on August 17, 2003, 01:01:57 am
Something else that might, or might not, have something to do with the DD machine acting differently in scripts. when you run Dave Wessels' "shiplist checker" on the shiplist it returns this error
Unable to open model file "./assets/models/mdm/mdm_brk.mod" for M-DMS, line 1006
Unable to open model file "./assets/models/mdm/mdm_brk.mod" for M-DMM, line 1007
Unable to open model file "./assets/models/mdm/mdm_brk.mod" for M-DML, line 1008
Unable to open model file "./assets/models/mdd/mdd_brk.mod" for M-DMD, line 1009
There are no _brk.mods for the doomsday monsters. They use the mdd.mod as a _brk.mod, don't they? Maybe there's something coded in the game, or something needs to be added to the code of scripts, or both, to make the mdd.mod be called as the _brk.mod when the monster's killed.
I don't know if this info matters at all or not. I thought it might though, so I decided to pass it along.

Atherohaven, Excellent Constellation model you have there for the damaged ship.. i love it and it wiould be perfect for this senario...
hopefully this can be made to where the shiplist could be custom for the additional model(s) so all i would have to use is Ship Edit OP to change the weapon specs....
Thanks..
BTW any word on GSA mission.. I would make one using FMSE, but those are not OP compatible...
also Single player Skirmish would be wonderful as well...

The biggest issue I was having though with it was the placement of the maw effect. It was either too far in, or too far in front. Well, I got it today. The only problem is that the effect now doesn't fill the mouth of the maw (because it was hardcoded I think for the original sized one, and this one is 200% larger than that now), but oh well.. you can only do so much.
But it's now complete and ready for download. I'll crosspost this over to the Mission Scripting forum as well because then Tracey'll know for her Doomsday script.
But here's a shot of the final result...
I guess I'll get this up for download asap... Enjoy guys..

I still have a few things to add to it, and ran into a problem with transporter objects. Intitially I had wanted the engineering team beamed aboard the crippled ship to find the ship's captain, who you then beam back. After this, a bried dialogue about the planet killer would appear and then you go off to fight it. Unfortunately, for some reason, when the 'Captain dude' transporter item is added to the crippled ship (which still has the enginerring team on board by the way), every ship in the game then shows both transporter items in the transporter panel. Not sure how to fix this yet, but basically, this is the only thing holding up the script.

You can defeat the Doomsday Machine IF you stay behind it firing your weapons. However, if you over run it, you will defeat it at the cost of your ship. This is just as ridiculous to me as having the shuttle/fighter take it out when it hits the ?magic spot? on it.

If you like, I'll put the beta beta version up for download. It works just fine, just needs a few more things added to it to complete the storyline, but you can still finish the mission adequately. The SS2 shiplist contains the revised stats for the Doomsday Machine, so if you already have that, then just run the mission in single player (it was made for a campaign).
I will post a link soon.
Post by: Pestalence on October 03, 2003, 06:24:54 pm
Maybe upgrade it to 3 or 4 later on as I would like it to be able to take out hard points on it's attack, yet still let the ship manuver, not quite crippeling it. just take the player down a notch or 2 to where they would have to pull off and build back up before thinking of engaging that thing again.

Something that I've never really cared about Tracey, is that the Doomsday machine was coded as invunerable to weapons fire. I don't think that its completely invunerable. Spock said "Sensors indicate that the object's hull is made of solid nuetronium, a SINGLE starship cannot combat it." The only way I've seen the Doomsday machine destroy starships is to eat them, which of course kills the Doomsday Machine. You're on to something by giving the DM weapons, 4 Fusion Cannons FA with enough energy to always Overload them? I think the DM should actually be fast, since it can overtake a Connie unless the Connie is moving at flank speed. I also think that instead of making the DM invunerable, it should just have an enormous amount of armor, and maybe a natural ECM shift. That way a single starship wouldn't stand a chance against it, but a whole fleet of ships could possibly take it down. Really a shame that the Klink's Ion Cannon cant be ported from SFC3, i think that the Ion cannon would actually make a better weapon for the DM than the Fusion Beams.
First, I'm pretty sure there is an upper limit on armor, I want to say 150 points, I'm not 100% sure. Neutronium is incredibly tough stuff and Federation Technology in TMP times is not there for doing ANY damage to that stuff. So for me the Invulnerability is a key factor for me. I like knowing there are things you have to think about beating rather than the violent head on 'guns blazing' approach. A fleet battle against the doomsday machine is depicted in FASA's A Doomsday Like Any Other; the Romulan Squadron (and the Chandley) may opt to attemtp to destroy it by sacrificing one of their ships to it.

Also, if you read Trek Books (or even give them any consideration for ST background)
the TNG book Vendetta has an even bigger DM (on a scale of 10 times bigger or more) came across Piccard and the Ent-D and in the end, the DM was made by Guinen's (Whoopie Goldberg in TNG) race as the ultimate payback weapon against the Borg for what they did to Guinen's race.. the DM ate planets to fuel itself for the long journey to the Borg homeworld.. if it ever found it.. always searching...
The Borg entered the area and got into a scuffle against the big DM. the DM obtained damage from what Data stated as a PURE ANTI-PROTON Beam.. the Borg carved a circle out of the DM hull before the DM fired it's "fusion" cannon weakening the Cube long enough to devoure it...
anyhow.. it was a good book and gave a lot of Roddenberry background information on the DM.. it is the only Trek Book that i know of for TNG that he actually was considering to make into an episode or movie, however he passed away before he could.
So the question of a Canon involvement arrises on how you view Trek.. Books are considered Non-Canon. Only what is seen on TV or the movie Theater Screen during an episode of Star Trek is considered Canon.. everything else is fan worship and means nothing in the Trek time line. this is per Roddenberry.
But fans consider different things to be Canon... thus is the nature of Sci-Fi.
Anyhow, i too would like to DL this script and give it a whirl.. and comparing to TOS/TMP tech.. the DM should remain indestructable save for sacraficing a ship into it's maw... either a shuttle or a wingman...
Thanks.

If you look at a VOY episode, I think it was called Think Tank but im not sure about that. The Think Tanks ship was actually made of Nuetronium as well, and those "Bounty Hunters with a Work Ethic" were doing some (albiet small) damage to that ship. Like I said, I dont think it should be invunerable, just very very hard to even scratch, something like 8 OL Photons or 3 Type -R plasma Torps at point blank, just to check off an armor box. But It is also possible that SFC just wont let that kind of custom rule onto the table.
First, that example is set in TNG times about 100+ years after the first encounter with the Doomsday Machine. TMP Era FASA Trek stated the Federation was about 100 years or so away from even manipulation neutronium; never mind something that could shoot back and DESTROY planets. Also the weapons in TNG times are orders of MAGNITUDE greater than TOS/TMP times. This is partly why I'm turned off by TNG Trek at the present time.

"Oh look another pretty TNG/post TNG Fed ship you can't scratch the paint on even if its blasted by a supernova! "

Second, don't get me started on the Voyager show... Lets rip of the Starblazers theme of a single ship against a Galactic Empire... The castration of the BORG was pure CHEESE and a poor excuse for bad script writing.
Pestalence,
Thank you for the synopsis of VENDETTA. I never read the book, I wish I had. However, I admit I like the EXTRA-GALACTIC origin of the Doomsday Machine better. I intend to read this book as soon as I can get a copy.

Oh, and for the Tholian Web idea... there's also a Tholian Web mesh done as well now, but how to move it, or build it, or encapsulate a ship I have no clue. That would, I think, fall under a script idea.. maybe multiple models (ala MDM and it's dead equivalent) and multiple textures.. minimal Web, half done, three quarters done, and complete. That kind of idea.
My best idea so far for seeing the ship through the Web itself though right now would be to flip all the faces on the mesh model itself so that the web texture is displayed on the inside of the Web model. But a better idea yet would be to make the Web itself translucent so that it appeared to encompass the ship, and I'm going to talk to a few guys about how to achieve this.
For this idea we have, the Enterprise, the Defiant, Tholians, a Web Mesh (complete). But I was thinking of using Chris Jones idea with this as well. He had FX5.BMP as a Starfleet figure instead of an asteroid.. what about something like that with a Kirk in a space suit figure? Lots of stills from the show, and we may be able to get a tiny asteroid to appear at random near the Enterprise. Or a box with Kirk's spacesuited figure on it, whatever'd be easiest to script.
And for one more TOS idea, we also now have the Space Amoeba available for scripts as well if anyone ever wanted to try a "The Immunity Syndrome" script. Some form of energy dampening idea draining power systems..

atheorhaven,
The development team that I am a part of, may just need some Tholian web mesh models for our humble OP project. If you could send the model files to me then I'll see about getting them to work in the EEK missions.
Post by: atheorhaven on November 14, 2003, 01:58:47 pm
The one thing that I am trying to get with this though before I do is a translucent effect on the textures instead of opaque. That way, we'll be able to actually see the ship inside the web, instead of just the web itself.
What I might also do is add a couple of Tholians to the structure itself.. it doesn't make a lot of sense having just the web there without a couple of Tholian ships in place around it. More word as that goes along..

Regarding energy dampening effects try the SFC1 custom mission: The Quantum Factor the monster in that scenario does this frighteningly well.

I used lots of AMD on the Doomsday Machine to keep fighters and shuttles at bay, in SFB, the monsters all had this close in defence system thingy that was supposed to destroy them anyway. I also used Heavy TR Beams instead of a PPD, but think the Mauler would probably look better.
It might be possible to get the DM to tractor the nearest ship as well, thus stopping the ship from entering its maw and killing it, whilst the DM continues to fire at it.

Okay, I'm releasing these while I'm working on v2 of the Constellation so that the v1 release is out for all versions of SFC now. But here there are..
This is the SFC 3 version of the Constellation (version 1). Download this one if you're going for the TOS TV look with your ships.. the v2 version will use the new SFB-like textures that Lord Schtupp has just released.. expect it in a few days
http://www.the-tcs.net/_hosted/atheorhaven/html/userfiles/ships/trek/sfc3/TOS_TDDM_constellation_SFC3.zip
For the "Tholian Web" idea..
This is all the versions of the Defiant from the TOS episode "The Tholian Web", SFC 1, 2 and 3.
And here's one thing that the SFC 3 version will do that the others won't..
Here's what I did for the versions of SFC without glows. Tried an experiment with something that I was reading from Klingon Academy (was hoping that it'd work, but it hasn't.. at least not as far as I can tell). It was just an experiment with animated textures in SFC. At any rate, what I did was encapsulate the ship in SFC 1 and SFC 2 with an interphase bubble so that the ship looks a little closer to what it looked like in the show. So the result was this:
Download here..
SFC1
http://www.the-tcs.net/_hosted/atheorhaven/html/userfiles/ships/trek/sfc1/TOS_fca_1764_sfc1.zip
SFC2
http://www.the-tcs.net/_hosted/atheorhaven/html/userfiles/ships/trek/sfc2/TOS_fca_1764_sfc2.zip
SFC3
http://www.the-tcs.net/_hosted/atheorhaven/html/userfiles/ships/trek/sfc3/TOS_fca_1764_sfc3.zip
So for those that got the full archive with all the versions at once (which is still how I like to do it because then it's a complete package to me), consider it a collectors edition.
And that's another off the list... next should be the Tholian Web mesh, although I still have no idea how that'll be incorporated into the game. It'll be some form of scripting wizardry no doubt.
Please read the credit files, and thank Lord Schtupp if you like these.. without his permission, these'd not be possible..

Yes, monsters had built in anti shuttle/fighter weapons. But there was a limit.
I agree on the use of the TRHs - and that the Mauler would look significantly better. But how can you get the monster (computer) to keep charging the batteries? Also, would you put more than one mauler on the beast?

Any chance of converting this script (and DM model) to SFC3?
This would Kick ASS!!

Its still in the works, the script has to be re-written though since I lost the original. Just bogged down with other stuff at the moment, but its still hapening ;-)
Tracey,
Check your e-mail. I sent you the original beta script you sent me

Its not actually finished yet. I lost the source code and had to script it from scratch again.
What's the latest on the Doomsday Machine?
Thanks

Excellent question.
Tracey, if you need me to dig out the Beta again and send it to you again I can.
Qapla!

Jolan'tru Tracey,
I take it that this mission is a "type Meta"?

I have plans to do some of the other TOS episodes as well where applicable.
Would the "Balance of Terror" be on that list?[/b]

Yes, what did you have in mind?
A mirror Romulan perspective would be interesting for a "Balance of Terror" mission.
If this is a type "Meta" mission, the conditions can be set based on the race of the hex.
Just an idea.[/b]

Perhaps the "historically accurate" version (with perspectives from the Federation and Romulan sides), plus a "general" version which allows any race to be played might be a thought... Certainly the latter would be better suited to campaign play.

No, I havent done anything on this, I've been away from SFC for 9 months, I currently dont have VC6 installed, but dont give up hope.
