I'm working on a new mod which sees the Federation replaced with the Terran Empire. I started the hex editing a while back but have just resumed the rest of everything that has to be done, and there's a lot when changing an empire is concerned. There's also a lot of art/graphics and buttons to change, basically everything that involves or mentions Starfleet or the Federation. Then there's cursors, structures, ships, minor race attitudes, and all the rest. But, it is coming, and it will be entering testing stage soon. I reckon it could be fun playing as the tyranical Terrans. |

Great Idea
Would it be for BOTF or BOTF2 when it is released? |

Thanks for the for the offer Matress, just about all the hex editing's done (and I prefer to do it manually than use editing progs, useful as they are.) The exception is the ship stats, in which BOTFed prog is a godsend, but most of those will be a direct copy of UM2, most of it is, with all the new races and such. The editing of structures and values, morale etc is easy and quick to do even with a simple hex editor. The laborious stuff is ploughing through the hundreds of lines of dialog which needs to be changed. Every single 'liberal' Federation eventuality, message, reaction etc, must be rewritten in the voice of the Terran Empire, and the morale/sympathy result adjusted etc. It took me a few hours to edit the lexicon file, and half a day, about 10 hours just to do the single hdiplomt.tdb file, and I havent even started on the Intel files, and there's several of those. All the artwork's done though. Just debugging a few things currently. Strangely (as I've found) there seems to be no way to change morale for declaring war on a minor, only an empire. So it would seem that when the terrans declare war against a minor race (which they'll do a lot of) morale will suffer, which is contrary to the concept really. But morale will recover when they start bombarding and invading them though... 
The one entry and mention of the 'Federation' which can't be changed is in the race list in the Diplomacy screen. It's hard coded and has to stay. |

I would have thought it would come under the generic declare war option. (In DCER's editor) And since Jig has done it, it must be possible.
