New ROAM script released

[Supreme Cmdr]

Check the downloads page. Read the .NFO file before attempting to install this script.

You HAVE been warned

I can't open the .info file. When I double click on it I get a message --> "Microsoft system information cannot open this file. The file is corrupted." I tried downloading the zip file twice just to make sure it's not a bad download but still got the same results.

Ok, I renamed the .inf to .txt, and now I can open and read the file. Probably should have done that in the very begining.

Is this the first time you are seeing an NFO file? I suppose you don't know that its just a pure text file (can be opened with Notepad) and does not need to be renamed?

[Cmdr Nova]

Windows XP registers a .nfo as a System Information file.

Double-clicking opens System Information. Soultions (for those who don't know any better):

Open it in Notepad or Wordpad. Or,

Rename to .txt

I'm checking out that script right now.

LOL! I like the stations the way they are right now. I love a challenge.... Unlike some people.

*groan*

OK, I've renamed the file to .TXT and re-uploaded it. This will prevent any such confusion in the future.

[Urza]

Oh, I was about to download it until I came here and found out what it was.

[Gallion]

I guess they cannot handle my script if they can't handle the new stations

MP is gonna be cooool

You didn't say that it "overwrites" the normal roam scenario. I only noticed after a NPC Megaron almost destroyed Orion I thought at first "it" found the "sweet" spot

Thats such a dumb thing to say (you're batting two for two this morning). Where DOES it overwrite the standard ROAM scenario?? If you don't read the docs, you get what you deserve. In spades.

I noticed it when I loaded a game after copying the files in the scripts directory, keeping the default roam scenario when I chose my profile. I just started the game and "odd, I thought Orion's shields/armor level were higher", then the megaron proved it. Then I went in the explorer and deleted the files in the directory, then everything was back to 1.0.0.6 normal.

[Supreme Cmdr]

Thats because the objdefs.dat file in the scripts folder, overwrites the one in the DATASCENARIOS.ZIP folder. Doh! And that file also affects ACM, IA and TA as well.

If you plan on using the default ROAM scenario, you have no business using this mod. Period.

It was designed for those who found it too difficult in 1.0.06 and is a system wide change.

I only built a new ROAM scenario in order to make this obvious to n00bs. You can probably delete all the files in the SCRIPTS folder, and leave only the objdefs.dat file and it will have the same effect. You lose the new ROAM scenario description.

I have uploaded a 1.0.07 compliant version of this script
