Kwok, your mod is the only reason this game is playable.

For players with long games or pbw games, what many experience points are your ships accumulating?

I think psycic may be a little high, I'll have to take a look.

Kwok, can you post the 1.07 AI scripts?

Yes, Kwok please

it also seems like AI players do not research nearly enough. Maybe mining/farming/radio colonies should also build some research facilities?

The issue I'm having is that the turn processing is taking FOREVER once I click the next turn button.

I'm playing with a large galaxy, lots of computers, and a huge bonus. And processing a turn is taking at least 10 minutes once I click go.

Is that an issue in the basic game (more then likely) or something you're doing in the mod scripts?

Thanks for the mod, it ROCKS!

It's due to the AI's movement and combat phases - especially with the large number of ships you'd expect with a high AI bonus. The scripts are executed relatively quickly and don't contribute much to turn processing times.

Fewer AI opponents in a medium to large galaxy allows them to develop more and provide a greater challenge, while saving a bit on turn processing times.

Kwok, a question. Do you know the effects of tweaking the "Combat Iterations Per Frame" setting( in settings.txt )? There's no mention of it anywhere that I can find, so I'm having trouble understanding exactly what it does.

Ed Kolis · #**980** June 4th, 2007, 11:48 PM

I would imagine it controls the ratio between the "frame rate" and the "logic rate" of combat - if you set it to a higher number, the game would (assuming it's actually implemented) compute the combat results in more detail with better accuracy. I suppose lowering it could reduce the size of the combat logs, at the expense of detail though... might be worth a shot...

edit: odd, you're right, there is no mention of it in the modding doc... maybe it was added more recently?

edit 2: but nothing in history.txt either... this is strange :?
