slow down the ship more.

Spreads plague from planet to planet with the Ai understanding and reacting to the new event.
-Facilities size changes
To make facilities more realistic in the game. Note that nothing else was change because I did not want to slow down the pace any.

Create a lower quality weapon for cheap of all direct fire and Point Defense components. This represent the difference in military , ei standard, products and Commercial products.

Wanting a better balance between missile/fighter vs Point defense cannon without messing up the balance of the rest of the game.

Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
Your new facilities need a little more added to their descriptions. Mainly, I'm referring to showing what the percentage of improvement or modifier. This way you can see the benefits and track the benefits as you progress levels.
Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
Thanks, I'll give a look at that. Is it the culture facilities causing the problem? That concept can be confusing, which is why I add the log report to tell players their base level. I plan on adding the concept to the notes section of my site soon. Good news, I got the AI to understand and use the random research mod, correctly, in the CCMod 4.0 beta this pass sunday. The random research mod is one of the concepts that I've like for a while and will be added in the next version with a working AI. Again thank for the comment and keep them coming.

Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
At some point (having played for hours now) the game stalls when 'Processing after all...' is running. No random flaw, as it stalls on any reload. I'm up with the patch 1.74. What I have done however is including the FQM mod the same way it is done for the Balance Mod (as described at fqm5.spaceempires.net). Didn't check out yet if the game keeps going without it, but will do so.
Awesome work btw -).
EDIT:
The stall is made by the external events script, the part where the research loss is going to be distributed, at
-> set tech_divide := Sys_Divide_Real(maint_research,total_tech)
Commenting it and the following loop out makes me happy ...as my SEV runs again! I think
-> set total_tech := tech_area_list.count() * 1.0
somehow returns zero and makes the game crash. I tried the following cases, all with the same result:
- End turn with a tech being maxed out next turn
- End turn with one tech being maxed out and another one not on next turn
- End turn with no tech being researched
Out of clues for now.
Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
Thanks for the info, can you send me the save game file so I can see what your writing about first hand. Also how many planets do you have by the way. Thanks for play and I'll start working on it now.

Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
If you're going to divide with a variable in the denominator, always protect the function with a check to see if that variable is not 0. Division by 0 errors can hang turns!
Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
Yup that was the main problem, I just fix it and just upload the file to the site under the project section. A patch update for the mod should be out some time soon with in included. The update will also add a better description to some of the facilities. Thanks for the advise and any more problem let me know.

Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
I had the game freeze on me several times, Up to that it was a incredible game. Your last reply says you have realeased the fix with version 3.01 but your site doesn't list or label a updated version.
Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.0
Opp miss that site, figures, sorry. I've fix it now, thanks for the heads up. Spaceempires.net site has 3.01, but with a old history.txt. 3.01 should fix the freeze problems, if not let me know. Just to update you guys I'm still working on adding new things to the Mod. I got a twitter on my homepage with updated info, for the most part. Thanks for playing the Mod and glad you enjoy it.

Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.01
I installed the 3.01 version last week. Unfortunately i still had a game freeze. I currently use steam for space empires 5. I am assuming i have the latest space empires patches/ updates.
Re: New update for Crimson Concept Mod 3.01
Hi, I sent a private mess to see what I can do. And Thanks for letting me know your having the problem.
