tl;dr: Need someone to alpha test a mod for Legacy to make things both run smoother and make maps/planets appear bigger.
Anyone out there still play Star Trek: Legacy?
I recently reinstalled it and something instantly irritated me. SCALE!
Not that the planets should be bigger, quite the opposite actually. The SHIPS should be smaller. Seeing as how all things in-game are measured in Mm, that's Megameters (aka 1000 km). However, the ships are also measured in Mm, but given the value they are in meters. Therefore, technically, the ships are 1000000% of what they should be.
So, I figured I'd downscale ALL the ships a bit. Not quite to the level they SHOULD be, just 1/5th. However, I didn't know that Legacy would accept decimal values when it came to ship length, so I rounded all original values to the nearest multiple of 5. Not THAT big of a deal, I'll redo it more accurately sometime soon.
In the meantime, I need some people to test out the mod I'm working on. Currently
I only have the Ultimate Universe Mod ships downsized. I'll be doing the stock ships shortly (did them originally, but by 1/4th, so I need to redo them)
So, if you've got UUM, I would like your help to test out what I spent about 6 hours doing yesterday.
Also, if anyone knows C++ (I forgot it entirely) I'd love some help writing an exe to be able to just do all the work that I've been doing for me, as well as making it work with ANY version of Legacy.
kthxbye,
