Starport: Galactic Empires

just download them, convert them (changing the filename on windows XP or better will convert it automatically), then upload them to imageshack or mediafire or something

4 years later, toonces, you found a solution for this yet?

*sigh* I wish people could all be smarter than fifth graders... Earth does NOT orbit around the sun every 24 hours. Earth DOES orbit around the sun every 364 days 6 hours 9 minutes. Earth DOES rotate 360 degrees on its axis (tilted 23.5 degrees) every 24 hours okay, I've had today's correction rampa...

Awww, somebody just had to grave dig this . No, I haven't done anything yet. School work is a bit heavy and I just found a new book series.

I know primarily Java. HTML, C#, SQL, and Python are all in my arsenal. C++ is a beast that should be easy to tame. I find learning programming languages easy when I'm in the mood to program .

Not really. I can pull big projects in a few days if I get a chunk of time open in my schedule. I'm estimating at around 1,250 lines of code if I code it heavy. If I go light and risk some bugs I can pull it off in 850.

so, who knows the programming language for starport? If nobody does I'll just do it in Java

Someone tell me what language Starport is coded in and I'll work on making an AI system that Toonces could easily implement. AI is my thing (*cough* I have experience making bots that play games for the player, my work has been said to be "awesome", "extraordinary", and "revolutionary". My bots even...

ArdRhys4, that is easily avoided with a bit of programming.

This idea is best used for an intelligent defense system that concentrates fire in tactical patterns, leading the target as well as covering the most likely movement points depending on the available firepower.

so, any other opinions on my idea for a token system?

impossible? No. Easy for someone with AI experience? Heck yea. I know many people who could code this in their sleep and even more people who would use hacking techniques unknown to most people to uber abuse it.

I know: HTML, Java, SQL (in case you need a database set up) and I'm learning C#.

any news on making admiral tokens? I just thought of something too: Use an "affiliate link" system, like a person gets an ID when they register and someone who clicks on the starport picture and joins starport inputting the ID would give hte person an extra 5k starting creds and the person who's ID ...

It would take time to implement, but it would not be hard... Currently the planets all have their own stats on slideability and such. Weather will be a modifier... public int dragAmount; dragAmount = currentPlanet.getDrag() + randomWeather(currentPlanet.getType()); Of course that won't be able to be...

if you don't mine something its effects don't happen in my plan. What i was saying is "if you mine this it causes x amount of good reproduction minus y amount of bad reproduction and b amount of good morale minus p amount of bad morale. This way stuff like spice, while great for whatever purposes, a...

then somebody swoops in, captures your col, dumps all the build points you paid millions to rush, takes all the cash and dumps all the colonists. how happy you could be .

doez toonces want help from a semiprofessional programmer? (me *cough*)

@Meliza: Agreed, morale drops increased if organics, aneroobes, medicine or oil aren't produced to supply the population Okay, so here is what I think should happen: Resource harvesting should be controllable by the colony owner. Morale and reproduction will be heavily affected by resource harvestin...

I agree! Changing the names for Almaz isn't that hard... a new string and a few if() statements and wallah. (Well, there would be more than a few if() statements. Might add a good 250 lines of code -.-)

/** @param Name of corporation receiving/losing the contract @param Name of corporation giving/taking the contract @param If true removes any current contracts w/ that corp, if false adds corp wide contract @return Did it work? **/ public boolean contractCorp(String contractee, String contractor, b...

I propose in order to have a homeworld a corp must have at least 3-4 players in it unless the max corp size is 1-2, in which case the corp must be filled. This guarentees nobody will split their corps into multiple sections to expand beyond the home system.

I was looking around and was amazed at all the backstabbing that goes on. A few rules of thumb that will stop you from being back stabbed: 1. Never trust anybody that asks to be made CEO of the corp to do something. If they absolutely must land on personal colonies in the corp give them contractor s...

Any updates? If you haven't gotten very far in the tokens thing I'll give you an example (I don't know PHP very well, I hate it ;P) 1. User clicks banner 2. Banner sends info to "affiliates" database that increments the owner's admiral tokens up by x amount. 3. Affiliates database confirms transacti...

First off: I'm not saying I'll be the one to do this, but I will if nobody else is willing to dedicate the time. Now, here is what I have to say: The current autopilot uses mostly straight lines and some random turning. In my experience botting Runescape that is a big no-no. Always ends up bad. What...

If I could provide a script for detection could there be a reward of maybe.. 50 admiral tokens per click? (maybe 1, depends on how much they are worth these days). If that happens I'll gladly throw them on my websites...

Just lean effects when turning?

or somebody could write the baseline code for this and e-mail it to toonces who would then switch the variables and such to hook into starport after checking it over for exploits. Before anyone writes it I wanna see a big long post describing the specifics of each and every detail. (No, it isn't gun...

I like the idea of a ship name. I got this idea from someone on CoD 4: Bleh , pilot of the ship Bleh Ship was shot down by TheDestroyer , pilot of the ship TheDestroyer's Bullets :P. This came from a guys name in CoD 4 bringing up this when he kills you: You were killed by Mike's Bullets\ So yea, sh...

Upon completing the training your toon should get deleted from that server and you should be disallowed further access to it so peeps don't prey on the noobs
