Vega Strike Forums

hey, i asked you also for instructions on how to edit vega strike, so i can help modify certain things to make the universe transition to a star trek universe a faster process.

Hy, I'm new to this forum but I'm truly not new to the Star Trek phenomenon (seen all that can be see) and space oriented computer games...
I've read carefully the topics of this VegaTrek and I enjoied thinking of a space-sim game like X2: the thread (one of my favourites) applied to the amazing universe of Star Trek.

So I've downloaded the game versions 0.2.0 and 0.3.0.

With the 0.2.0 there was only a very few ships and the gameplay was sometimes difficult to assimilate.
With the 0.3.0 the ships are very well designed (that sovereign class starship is awesome ) and balanced and covers all the true 'era' of ST (a similar purpose to the upcoming game by Bethesda, ST:Legacy...). You all have my greatest appreciation for the well done work!!!

However I have this couple of malfunction when playing 0.3.0 that were not in 0.2.0...
1) when I start a new game/mission the game starts in a window an I cannot play it on fullscreen...
2) the setup.exe does not start at all...

PS: I've windows XP on a PC with 512MB ram, 2400~MHz, 128MB video card (ATI Radeon 9200), I hope someone could help me to enjoy the full potential of this grat project!

PPS: (does not matter at all) have you seen this?

Bye...

Could someone please post a .zip file?? I'm too lazy to get the 3rd party utilities >_<

1) when I start a new game/mission the game starts in a window an I cannot play it on fullscreen...
2) the setup.exe does not start at all...

I have a similar problem. Now I edited the VegaStrike.cfg to tweak the Video settings, but still...

Somehow the warp mode won't work and the overall gameplay is screwed in some undefinable way.
prps one needs to link the pre-release and 0.3.0 together????

Just a short update to let you know where we stand at the moment.
We now have added Starbases for the major powers as well as shuttles and a few smaller stations. Planets are converted to star trek planet styles. A test universe map is available, but still is not working properly due to unknown reasons. Once the test map is working, we will make a new release with some nice missions and the possibility to explore this small map (35 star systems), to see whether automatic system generation works etc.

Live long and prosper !

Update:
Universe map works, planet generation as well. Bases are incorporated and base scripts also work-even got faction-specific art working. Now only some nice missions are lacking, and then: release !

I have a bit of experience with that, and I am currently working on a tutorial, just in case you need some help.

Hi dilloh,
we need every help we can get.
Missions and programming stuff is tillias` part, but i havent reached him for 3 weeks now. Most likely, he is having some holidays after finishing this years exams. But definitely he wont be angry having less work. However, vegatrek is heavily modified comparing to vegastrike, so i dont know whether everything works the same as in vegastrike. We should try it and then learn. Just have seen your location: black forest. If this is the one in germany then i am not far away (lake constance) and we might have a phone call to discuss the details.
Best wishes,
Alex/Esgaroth

I don't know any other black forests

Don't get me wrong, I can help you whenever you're stuck, but I have plenty of mission scripting work for PU, so please don't consider me as primary mission scripter for VegaTrek

Hi Dilloh,
i didnt expect anyone to volunteer for a major job, but someone with python knowledge whom i or tillias can ask if we are stuck will help a lot. Maybe not necessarily for mission scripting, but the next major goal will be to get the dynamic universe working in vega trek....

Yeah, fine for me. Tilias already contacted me. I hope I can be of service

ok, i download it, i make a vegatreck folder in C:\Program Files\ and i extract it there. i go to C:\Program Files\Vegastrike-0.4.3\bin in windows explorer then i open up command prompt (start:run:"cmd") and i put "vegastrike.exe defiant.mission" it says:" C:\Documents and Settings\(my name)>"vegastrike.exe defiant.mission"
'vegastrike.exe" is not recognised an an enternal or external command, opperable program or batch file"
WHAT OD I DOOOOO?!?! yes, i did install vegastrike corectly. i looked in the vegastrike bin folder and there IS a vegastrike.exe file. thats odd. rsvp.

ok, i'm out of ideas. i just spent the last hour and a half trying to figure out how to do it. i think i know whst to do just not how to do it. what i think i have to do is either move my vegastriek folder and vega treck folder ot my desktop and so it or somehow chance the directory that my command prompt goes to from docs and settings desktop to programfiles
if you know how to do that please tell me... in the mean time... i think i'll move bolth of the folders to C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop.

ok, FINALY i got it working to the point of which it doesn't give me any errors but NOW it doesn't do a darnded thing when i put in "vegastrike.exe galor.mission" i am useing the galor mission, if that won't work, i'll try defiant like you said. i just tryed it, nothing. it doesn't do anything but page for about 2 seconds and them lies still again. no screen changeing, no loading, no nothing. help me please.

Hi

i've a question

what is with the duell mission? In the older version of vegatrek there come new ships when i destroy them. But this is not so in the new vegatrek!
why

mfg
master_666

Because this is a dev version and those missions are only for testing and balancing ships...
If you like, you can download the latest dev version via svn from https://vegatrek.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vegatrek
With this, you can e.g. start the defiant mission and fly around in the universe, warp to other systems and have a look at Qonos or Romulus, even have some trade... hovever, no encounters with other ships except the initial galors, no missions etc.
As soon as we have someone with some idea of python the project will progress quite soon-without, it will take a lot of time to get this working.
