« Last post by Captain Adam on March 28, 2023, 11:29:12 am »The repatching of the game to be able to work on modern rigs has always been based on 2552. It was never intended to be based on your work. We understand that your work is important but the reality is, it’s a mod based on 2552. If people want to use your mod, they will have to keep it under 2552 to be able to utilize your shiplist and other modifications. We encourage modders to update their mods in accordance to the newest patch. Remember, the changes aren’t to diminish other people’s work but rather consolidate and prevent errors, ctd’s, etc…
I enjoy variety bc that’s what I do. I kitbash and mod. So I understand your viewpoint. Tim and others prefer more balance, harder AI and consistency based on consolidation. I understand that too. Hence when I start my TNG mod it’ll be based off the new modifications. Not old ones. Even though I’ll miss some missions, that will only work with specific ship lists. But in the end it is what it is.
The point I’m trying to make is no one purposely or willfully wanted to crap on you. Your mod and others is what made me fall in love with the game and with learning to kitbash and mod myself. Why would you think that. Makes no sense. Truth is the direction of the work wasn’t based on 411 but rather just trying to improve the stability. And also allowing it to play on new computers.
Your original post was almost as if you were implying that we purposely sabotage your previous work. Lots of they and no regard and stuff. Comes off a bit adversarial.
Keep in mind, our repatching and our shiplist is not meant to discourage others from using your stuff. Unfortunately, if they choose to play your mod they will have to use a previous patch. But there many Star trek games that have many mods and compatibility has always been an issue. That’s why some mods in the readme state patch to this number. Don’t use this. Or don’t use that. Etc… please don’t feel like we crapped on you. 411 was never meant to be enhanced by our work. It was always intended to be separate.
I hope you continue to update bc it would be nice to have everything on the same page sort of speak but I know how much is involved. It’s not pretty. Trust me. I know. To have to go back and redo sh*t. And convert etc. it’s a bitch. But I’m confident that a middle ground can be achieved to keep the unity intact. Luc, no crapping on no one’s work. I literally have an entire folder of previous mods and missions and everything archived. It’s one of my important things I do with every computer I get. Make sure I keep all the good stuff. There was no malice. At all.
Hope that makes sense.
