Emperor of the Fading Suns Forum

This looks very interesting BrodieBrodie. I just have a couple of general suggestions: 1. Get the various parts of the engine fairly well developed before going and adding EFS-specific features. 2. Generalise where you can - e.g. with the "ships having crew and captains" idea, allow the en...

noop, but it looks like a lot of the old long time members here are now too old to play around EFS, and spend the time left to other newer games ;). Also keeping up a website needs some investment of at least time. I for my part am glad, that the NOVA and Hyeperion site is still up. Yes everyone mo...

There's many decompilers out there, and efforts to decompile right back to source (which can then be recompiled back to a working EXE) usually stumble a fair bit. Going from machine code -> assembly isn't too hard (though figuring out what the assembly does is). Going from assembly -> C/C++ source i...

ForceUser: Some quickish answers to some questions. 1. Certain attacks will hit certain units, there's a table that outlines them in one of the dat files. 2. +3 agility 3. As far as I know crawler units are the only movement class that will open fire on bombarding starships. The naval class has issu...

busyme: You can't just 'use' code files with EFS, some things can be done with mods, others need source code or very creative EXE hacking.

That was the primary reason the clone project was established, to do things we currently can't

You need to look at this topic.

Should get you sorted out

As a random guess, something may be stealing the window focus temporarily and then returning it to the game. This could be something, say, on your system tray, popping up a little message. Check programs running in the background and shut them off to test (do not compromise security doing so though!...

So great I missed christmas and it's now the new year

Happy New Year!

Except at the moment the space component is very limited

All the action happens planetside, or on a space station in orbit and the actual gameplay is not tied very strongly to the background anyway.

How much do you need to get started? In theory, nothing. There are some activities anybody can carry out (mainly collecting stuff worth little to nothing in raw value) and then sell the proceeds of these activities to others. That takes a while though (weeks, months :/). In practice, hmm, US$20 will...

What do I like about Project Entropia? Mainly the fact that when I do something it has real value so it feels like I'm always making progress. There's also freedom - if I don't want to play for a month, 2 months, 4 months it doesn't cost me anything. And when I get tired of playing I can sell all my...

Some extra notes: I captured the church on Severus, it was the first thing I did (with a horde of milita). The only buildings not under my control are 3 empty rebel cities, the agora and the imperial eye fort. The moves on earth were almost solely in response to denying Hazat the income from two roy...

Fighting the good fight with the Decados It took an entire day for me to analyse and plot and plan for the first turn, and it was influced a fair bit by Hazat's evil plan to dominate the world with captured League Ships :) Trait Selection - Well I selected my usual spread of single-player traits, wh...

I play Project Entropia fairly frequently:

Yes they do read and sometimes respond to mail sent to them via the website and I'm not sure if their contract has expired yet that would allow them to release source.

Mike was certainly working on interesting stuff and I believe still is.
