UQM-MegaMod VS Cataclysm-DDA

This also was what stopped me from ever completing the game, even back in the 90s when it was still Star Control 2. I am not really a fan of games that force an arbitrary timer on the player, it feels like a holdover from the bad old days of coin-op arcade machines.

A while back I discovered a fork of Ur-Quan Masters which includes a time dilation feature that seems like it might make the game more fun to play, although I haven't tried it yet simply because I don't want to start playing and realize once again that I'm being punished for exploring and forced to start all over again: https://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/

At least in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mass Effect 2 when this same thing happens it's based on a trigger, so as long as you know the trigger you can go do the mission immediately. Alas in Star Control 2 the timer is counting from the beginning so the game leaves you little choice.

For a full comprehensive list of changes check out the changelog, or if you prefer it in web page form check out the main website: https://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/Features

It's the MegaMod: https://github.com/JHGuitarFreak/UQM-MegaMod/releases

And if you're looking for a version with more updated graphics and too many extra options to mention there's The Ur-Quan Masters MegaMod.

You can get the .dmg from the Github releases page: https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/releases/tag/0.8.1-3

uqm-megamod (enhancement of "Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters")

Ur-Quan masters (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php) runs on modern systems well plus it's free and even has a HD mod (https://github.com/Serosis/UQM-MegaMod/releases) - I'm not sure if it's good though, I played without it.

Ive played the uqm-megamod (a updated fork), it's probably the better option.

Recreated all the UI fonts (not the alien fonts) for HD, they can be found in this very repository in TTF and OTF format

And that sucks! I really wish being Huge (or Tiny, but I haven't tried that personally) felt more distinct than it does. You really shouldn't be able to operate holdout pistols, but you should be able to stuff a thanksgiving turkey in your coat pocket.

If you look in the jmath.json file (https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/data/mods/MindOverMatter/jmath.json) under the matrix awakening odds and portal storm awakening odds, change the Return to "return": "0 * _0". That should set the odds of awakening to 100% regardless of how many paths you have.

Are you sure? I checked the initial PR and couldn't find any mention of an anvil, and I checked the current files, and also couldn't find any mention of an anvil.

There is not, but it was mentioned as a desired feature in the original PR introducing Electrokinesis so it will hopefully be added eventually.

Must be the newest experimental. Static hordes were added back to worldgen, the hordes option now only toggles dynamic hordes.

It currently works as of: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/releases/tag/cdda-experimental-2023-12-09-0323

[default 3D field of view was reverted|https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/69940] because there were some bugs in the tests due to it

That said, I recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, which offers something like this.

Each power has a different set of thresholds leading into different powers. You can check the JSON files for each class on github to see which powers lead into eachother at what level.

Yeah, I ran into a similar issue working on craftable bone spike spears. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/57447 There is some decent research on the topic but it’s not open access which didn’t leave me with evidence to support my argument besides basically metadata. For the record I think this is reasonable, it’s just frustratingly difficult to find accessible modern research on these interesting topics
