Wow.  I feel for you dude, but everyone was given an opportunity to keep their place on the team by simply contacting jtaylorpcs.  You could have simply pulled out then and asked that you be given credit for the work you'd done.

You did add quite a few things to the text-area of the mod, which I agree you should have credit for, but I wouldn't go overstating things.  I know of several people who put a great deal of time into the string file, including myself.  If you don't have time to continue helping, fine.  But you might try asking politely before losing your cool.  I've found I always get better reactions when I'm not reaming someone out. 

While we're on the subject, however, my own credits don't include everything I do (unit texture reworking, modeling, string, brushes of all sorts, abilities, UI texturing, entity coding, particle effects, and sound files).  Does my salary go up the longer my list is?  If so, I can try to add a few more items to it. 

This is climbing the mirrors. If you're not hearing from someone and you replace him it's implied that his work should be credited nevertheless. No matter how small or simple the thing he did is, it's a matter of respect given we're all working for free and during our freetime - and the credits are the only rewards we get.

I think I actually was polite enough, being this the second time it happens, I had trouble even getting myself credited there the first time. I also think not to have overstated anything beyond what I really did. If it wasn't deleted - in the package there should be a txt file which is an incomplete log of all my edits to the strings.

I've found I always give better answers when I'm aware of all the facets of the stories.

Everyone does what he can and have their tastes. I did much of the string work and had some cool ideas like the planets classes and the hidden 47s - and would like to see me credited for that. Perhaps for you it's not important but for me it is, being the only thing I did and I know I did it well.

Lo

Hey LoTek,

Sorry about that happening, and I know that the team will take care of it.

First off, I am the new guy to take over string editing (James S.), and I am certainly NOT trying to claim any of your work (not trying to be disrespectful or anything, just not wanting to claim your credit).  You have done a great job, and I feel that you should certainly be given your credit where it is due.  I had suggested that maybe a date of when we worked until be placed in (mine would be a start of 06/14/10 - ???), but I am sure whatever Jtaylor comes up with will be proper accreditations.

Any who, Thanks for welcoming me in (I know I won't be doing all that much but anything to help out this project is all I am aiming for).

Stress I don't think you will ever retire from here, you are just too active for it to ever happen , but I have always enjoyed reading your posts since they seem to sit so well with this games theme (go fig right?).

I played the mod for the original SINS and liked it...Now Ive been playing the Entrenchent mod for star trek...and it totally kicks ass..the detail you guys put in this mod is awesome..little things like the borg saying (we are the borg when u zoom in close..ect)  awesome work guys...just curious tho do you have a ETA on when they mod for diplomacy will be introduced??? I cant wait lol  .... One thing that would be great if you could double click one unit and then all the same types of units would be selected... Not sure how you guys would feel about having boarding parties for special abilities (unless thats too much like armada lol)...another idea would be having DS9 staion as another option for FEDS or even the Dominion confed...  BEST MOD IVE PLAYED IN LONG TIME  TY

To be exact any obmission is said users fault as i have instructed the team to update the read me and drop in the ready to import box for review , also the most currenty release and readme are not the same. EI the readme not fully updated as it has been since the intial Soa2 0.4e series. But with that being said , The obmission is not done on purpose. Not by far  as you have helped out alot in the strings dept.  All are welcomed who want to assist. Just with managing a mod team and getting results and not getting any communication. Descions need to be made. I totally hear you on the diplomacy thing, just agree with stress we need to fully implement some things first. With the next update you will see a new readme file. With Correct previous and current mod teams members and there conributions.  Also if your still wanting to assit I do have a mission for you.   As a side note as of late my real life has taken a toll on mod development , but my schedule is back to normal and Things will be back to normal starting now!

thanks jtaylorpcs

My work on the Diplomacy build involved rebuilding the foundation to incorporate the optimization project. Also to rescale all of the units to 1/2 scale. Both are about 1/2 done. I haven't had any free time to do much more. Which is why i wanted Jay and crew to stay focused on the Entrenchment version. While i alone worked on the Diplomacy versions foundation.

The plan is since both versions will be 99% interchangeable is that once i am done with the foundation anything from any of the entrenchment versions updates can be ported directly over to the diplomacy version, and vice versa. My focus is the art, and basic mechanics (models, textures, basic entitys, and particles). The rest of the teams focus is the details (fine tuning balance, ability's, maps, research, and finishing what i cannot finish).

I am "retired" from the project Jaytlrpcs is in charge, but i will still contribute what i can, when i can. Just dont expect instant results from me.

You can press and hold Alt then click on a unit and it will select all unit of that type in that gravity well.

Lo

Just a little update for all

we now have group cloaking and declocking for klinks and romulans . Also a few other tricks up our sleeves for the next release.

If I want to add music, for example to the federation battle music, do I change the name of the file to FED Battle 4 or something and then convert it to a .ogg file?

You must also add a reference in the SoundMusic file within the GameInfo folder.  Be sure you increase the number at the very top by 1.  You must also add the new sound file to the PlayerFederation file as well.  I think there's a soundCount value that you'll need to increase here, as well.
