Sigma Private Beta now available for FO users

Yep, since Windows 7, I can no longer make a copy of FO for any mods.  It has to be a fresh install.

strange.  I have win 7 aswell, and, though it has no problems normally, I guess it seems to not like FO.

I actually copied my working copy of FO and put the patch on top.  The same thing I do with my own mods

narrowed the bug down to the other race, which is not the VRA...I'm not sure what its called, but I can play VRA against VRA, and no crashes, until later in the game.  I think I saved the bug report if you are interested in it TUN.

I will look for the bug, but I don't think its a problem with my install.  I think its a bug, but I have no clue if that other race works for everyone else.


btw, I have a list of small errors, and ideas if your interested TUN, I wasn't sure if I should post them here, or send them to you some other way, so I figured I would just ask   That and I wanted to make sure you wanted my opinion.

Sure thing I'll listen to all opinions here and errors here, though it's probably better to email them to me if it's a very long list, just might be awhile before I see them. 

As for the crashes my only theory is that the download was corrupted, a few people have already downloaded it corrupted and their problems were solved by reinstalls. You can send me the bug reports if you wish though I'm still not sure about how to read them yet.

well, I tried to re download FO, and it still crashes. 

the list isn't long, just a few things I would improve, and bugs you probably already know about.  Stuff like the mouse animation seems like it might have little black spots in places, buttons are not lined up in the texture file properly, and the utility chassis seems to not have a miniimage. 

however, these could all be due to a corrupt install.  I would assume these attached images arn't normal. I drew attention to what was wrong

And from what I can tell, the crash is caused by an error in the Zevestivan techtree. dunno.


Oh, and a suggestion, bitmap called AllBlack found at (default) C:Program FilesActivisionStar Trek Armada II Fleet OperationsDatabitmapssingle with the orangeish-blue background you use everywhere else.

I have to say though, I"m really impressed with the little that i've been able to play.  i love all the completely original stuff in this mod, and it really makes it top notch.

1.2's up.

Dom and Mal suggested adding in the ability to harass since it was difficult to harass early game. I tweaked the Bottlenose for the V.R.A. and added a new ship for the Zevs that hopefully will fill those rolls.

Hopefully it will also work for you now Zaxx, I'll check on the other things you mentioned too. I would have earlier but I only just noticed the post.

Updated yet again, this time with fixed Zev costs and also a few voiceovers. Much thanks to Unleash Mayhem for the V.R.A. computer voice. Some of the voices are just placeholders for now and might change, though I rather like how funny the Zev scout sounds. 

I;m also considering putting Megadroid's Mission mods to the test and scripting a story based mission for the next release. Here's hoping that works out...

Just wanted to say that Sigma is a lot of fun and has tons of potential. Thank you very much for this.

Wow, this looks amazing from the video! If it was really well balanced and all and had a campaign, I would definitely buy this as a separate game.

Ah my voiceovers are in? Must download!

(Will this patch over my old install?)
