My thanks to everyone that registered! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.1a Host Released August 16, 1993 Version 3.1b Host Released August 17, 1993 Version 3.1c Host Released August 17, 1993 Version 3.1d Host Released August 18, 1993 Version 3.1e Host Released August 20, 1993 Version 3.1f Host Released August 20, 1993 Version 3.1g Host Released August 23, 1993 Version 3.1h Host Released August 26, 1993 Version 3.11a Host Released August 27, 1993 Version 3.11c Host Released September 13, 1993 Version 3.11d Host Released September 15, 1993 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug History: ( These bugs were found in these versions ) Version 3.1a : Starbases are unable to build fighters. ( Bug found by: Richard Sun ) Version 3.1b : Crashed when ships used sensors on enemy planets. Mine sweep messages repeated WAY too many times. Version 3.1c : All planets get plagued when the total population of the empire reaches 1,000,000,000 Clans. Everyone dies! Version 3.1d : Fighters blow up or disappear when players sell supplies for credits. ( Bug found by: Patrick Reeves ) Version 3.1e : Ships not attacking each other. ( Bug found by: Ted York ) Version 3.1f : "3600 mega credits found counterfit!" Bug. This bug hits a player that builds a starbase on a planet that has a native race tech bonus. The host did not understand where that extra tech 10 was coming from. ( Bug found by: John W.Smith ) Version 3.1g Cyborg bug. Everytime the Cyborg beamed colonists to a planet with native all the native disappeared. Version 3.1h Cyborg bug. (3.11a) Cyborgs unable to assimulate colonists. Version 3.11b Massive increase in colonists on a planet when enemy drops colonists onto the planet. Version 3.11c The Crystallin race had a zero growth rate on all planets ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW IN VERSION 3.11b: 1. Ships without fuel can not beam cargo down to a planet. 2. You can configure the colony fighter mine sweeping rate. You can disallow the sweeping of web mines by colony fighters. 3. You can configure the rate that beam weapons sweep normal and web mine fields. As well as the range from the field that a ship has to be to destroy mines. 4. Engine tech boosts the shield power of a ship. 5. The effect of the lizard hiss mission can be configured. 6. Ships that surrender have their mission set to nothing. 7. Odds that the rob mission may fail from time to time. 8. Three science vessels are able to terra form planets. 9. Rebels and Fascists may be made immune from attack from planets. 10. The rate are which cloaked ships burn fuel to stay cloaked is based on the hull mass. 11. The odds that a cloaked ship may hit a mine can be configured. 12. The word "Mr." has been removed from messages from "Mr. Host". ( Woman, Females, Girls, Gals and Feminists found it very offensive and non-PC.) 13. You can set the amount of damage that ship can have before it can no longer cloak. 14. No population can be over 25,000,000. 15. The Crystallin and Siliconoid races have the maximum growth rate on desert planets. 16. Rebels can build outposts on ice worlds that support up to 20,000 colonists. 17. The Lizards, Fascists, Robots, Rebels and The Colonies of Man can have up to 6,000 colonists on desert worlds. 18. Explore missions now report on the planet's climate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: External Meteor programs may cause errors in host 3.1. The internal meteor ( HCONFIG.EXE ) works without any problems. The METEOR3.EXE program has been moved inside the HOST 3.11b program. You can now use HCONFIG.EXE so set up any sort of meteor storm you wish. When starting a new game in a new directory copy a HCONFIG.HST into the new directory or run host one time then run HCONFIG.EXE to change the default HCONFIG.HST made by the HOST.EXE when it doesn't find a HCONFIG.HST file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGINE TECH SHIELD BONUS: New switch in HCONFIG.EXE, The Engine Tech shield bonus. The power from higher tech engines increases the shield power of the ship. How much? Well, a ship with transwarp engines fights like a ship that is 300 kt more massive. The cost of one engine is added to the combat mass of the to ship take in to account of the effect of the higher tech engines powering the shields. This shield bonus is based on the tech of the engines and not the number of engines on the ship. ( To keep the game in balance. ) The engine tech to not effect the charge rate of the weapons. The tech of weapons does not effect the rate of weapon recharge. Remember if you don't like this turn it off. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATA WARNINGS: Warnings: ( >>>GREEN<<< , >>>YELLOW<< and >>>RED<<< ) When host runs it now gives a "Data Status Message" Green means the data from the player and in the host records are 100% normal. Yellow means that there is a slight glitch in the data or program. ( Bug? ) Don't worry about this error too much, it is mostly harmless. But still should not happen. The host has found that minerals or money are missing. Red means there is some sort of problem. From one little bit being in error to wholesale massive cheating. This means that minerals or money has showed up in a player's empire and the host can not understand why. The host will take action to "correct" the problem during a red data status. >>>WARNING<<< >>>WARNING<<< >>>WARNING<<< Running METEOR.EXE will cause a >>>RED<<< or >>>YELLOW<<< data status from time to time. There is nothing that can be done to prevent this. It is best not to run METEOR.EXE when using HOST 3.1. ---------- Cargo Transfers: ( When playing planets ) You can hold down the <SHIFT> or <ALT> to move 100 units of cargo at a time. ---------- HOST HCONFIG PROGRAM SWITCHES: These are all things that the host can turn on and off now. If anything is changed during a game a message will be sent to all players by HOST.EXE. Recycle rate of ships colonizing Meteor impact odds ( Only ONE meteor ) Allow alchemy ships Delete old unread messages Disable the passwords in a game Rebels build fighters in space Robots build fighters in space Colonies build fighters in space Number of "no money" fighters from starbases Lizard HISS mission Rebel ground attack Cloaked ships may be robbed by privateers Fed super refit Web MINES Regular MINES Web mine decay rate Odds of hitting a web mine Odds of hitting a regular mine Regular mine decay rate Maximum mine field size Planets attack ships Ships without fuel can move on "impulse" All ground attack and defense rates All mineral mining rates All tax income rates Cloaking device failure rate Mine field detect range Dark sense range Cloaked ship fuel burn rate New natives appearing Sensor mission range Planets attack ships in orbit ( "ATT" friendly code ) Cyborg assimilation rate New minerals ( Isotopic breakdown rate ) "Overpopulation eating supplies" can be turned off Mines may destroy enemy mines Engine tech shield bonus --------- NEW FRIENDLY CODE ORDERS: All ships have a new attack order. They will now fight in an order that depends on three things the mission, the primary enemy and the friendly code. The friendly code can give an attack value from 1 to 999. To use attack values your friendly code must begin with a number value. The attack values will NOT affect the way in which a ships fights, it only effects the battle order. Your enemy's attack values will NOT effect your battle order. A attack value of 1 is the lowest possible attack value. Here are examples of attack values base on some friendly codes where "x" is any non-number character. Friendly code Attack values xxx 1000 1xx 1 10x 10 01x 1 999 999 123 123 18x 18 x23 1000 xx2 1000 x1x 1000 The ship with a "KILL" mission the lowest attack value will attack first. If two of your ships have the same attack value then the ship with the lowest ID number will attack first. The ship with a "PRIMARY ENEMY" set and the lowest attack value will attack after all the "KILL" mission ships are done. Ships with their mission set to "KILL" will fight as a first group. Ships with a mission other then "KILL" and the primary enemy set will fight as a second group. All other ships will be protected by the "KILL" and primary enemy ships until those ships are destroyed or captured. Ships that are not on a kill mission and don't have a primary enemy set will defend themselves in an order based on the friendly code attack values. ------- PLANETS ATTACKING SHIPS: The game can be configured so that the planetary friendly code "ATT" or "NUK" causes a planet to attack any enemy ship in orbit. This will override matching friendly codes. ( ATTack or NUKe ) DISABLE TORPEDO SYSTEMS: A ship may now disable it's torpedo systems by using the friendly code "NTP". ( No TorPedoes ) If two ships that are enemies use the "NTP" friendly code they will still fight. This is also a special case where matching friendly codes does not count. The "NTP", "ATT" and "NUK" must be all in uppercase. -------- CHEATERS: Very bad things happen to people that try to cheat. . . The Tim Continuum is watching a little closer now. It sees money from nowhere, minerals appear, torpedoes turning into fighters, etc. . . -------- SCAN RANGE: The range that you can see enemy ships is now limited by a scan range that the host can configure. Ships beyond the scan range in open space can NOT be seen. An enemy ship in orbit around a planet that you do not own and do not have a ship in orbit around can not be seen. -------- NO fuel: Ships that have no fuel can not intercept or tow. The host can decide if he will allow ships without fuel to move short distances. ( The old no fuel "impulse" ship drift ) -------- WARP WELLS: All planets place a stress on the time space continuum for a distance of 2 light years in all directions. Any ship that warps within a distance of 2 light years to a planet will fall into the planets warp well and end up at the planet. --------- GROUND ATTACK: ( Dropping colonists ) The host can configure the ground attack and defense factors of all races. Every 20 defense outposts add a defense factor to the planet. ( 100 defense outposts would make a planet 5 times stronger then it's normal defense factor. ) --------- SENSOR SCAN RANGES: Ships can now have a very good chance of detecting all planets within the sensor range that have less then 15 defense outposts and has ether more then 15 factories or more then 20 mineral mines. Every defense outpost reduces the odds of being detected by 6.6666%. Any planet with no defense and more then 15 factories or more then 20 mineral mines will be detected. --------- DARK SENSE: The Evil Empire can now dark sense ALL planets within dark sense range that have enemy colonists, except for Rebel colonies. The Dark Sense is unable to find the Rebels. --------- CLOAKING SHIPS: Ships with damage can not cloak. Ships may have to burn fuel to cloak. ( This is up to the host. ) There are odds that a ships cloak may fail from time to time and be seen. The odds of this is up to the host and can range from 0% to 50%. --------- ANTI-SHIP MINE FIELDS: The number of mines that a ship can sweep has increased. Beam weapons sweep ( tech^2 * ( 2 ) ). This is 2 times more then version 3.00f of host. The ships now sweep ALL mine fields that they are in and all mine fields within 25 light years. Colonial fighters now sweep 40 mines for each fighter. This is 10 times more then version 3.00f of host. They still have a mine sweep range of 100 light years. The host now has the option of letting overlapping enemy mine fields destroy each other. Both mines and web mines have a decay rate at which they disappear do to natural causes. The default is 5%. There is a maximum size that mine fields can be. If a ships tries to expand a field beyond the maximum no more torpedoes will be converted to mines. If a ship keeps it's mission to lay mines the mines lost to decay will be replaced by new mines so long as the ship has torpedoes. Minefields of the same race may overlap as long as the perimeter of one does not take in the center point of the other. The odds of hitting a regular or web mine can be changed by the HCONFIG program. Minefields no longer merge. There is now a limit on how far you can you can detect mine fields, however you will now get a report on all mine fields within this detection range. Both yours and enemy minefields. --------- MINERAL MINES: The mineral mining rates of all races can be adjusted in the HCONFIG program. The HCONFIG can set the rate at which new minerals are formed in the planetary code of all worlds. The new minerals are formed by the natural isotopic break down of uranium into trans-unranium elements. Density ranges from 100 ( Large Masses ) to 1 ( Very Scattered ) New minerals are formed on planets with higher mineral densities then on planets with lower mineral densities. --------- TAXES: The amount of taxes that a race can collect per turn can be adjusted in the HCONFIG program. However, if the rates are changed they will not match up with the amount projected by the PLANETS.EXE. --------- NEW NATIVES: There is a switch in HCONFIG that that allows native races to be discovered from time to time on worlds without native life. --------- LONG RANGE SENSORS AND DISTRESS CALLS: Starships that explode in battle will now be detected by all the other races in the game. They will detect the (x,y) location of the explosion and the name of the ship given in the distress call, but nothing else. Ships that are captured and planets that are taken over can not be detected on the long range sensors. --------- ENEMY PLANETS: Enemy planets can not be scanned for minerals by a ship in orbit any longer. The enemy colonists are now able to jam enemy starship sensors. --------- HOST LOG: The host.exe now saves a record of the last run to a host.log file. Everything that was sent to the screen will be in the file. --------- OVERPOPULATION: If overpopulation is turned off the colonist will no longer have to eat supplies to survive. The population will stop growing at some point. --------- STRUCTURE DECAY: You can set the rate at which structure on a planet decay when there is not enough manpower on the planet to maintain them. The rate is the number of undermanned structures that can be lost in a single turn. ( If it is set to 3 then up to 3 of each type of structure can be lost in a single turn. ) --------- NO MONEY FIGHTERS: The number of "free" fighters that each race gets at each starbase each turn can now be configured. The default is 5 for the Evil Empire only. The fighters still require minerals to build them. Each fighter requires 3 tritanium and 2 molybdenum units to build. --------- CYBORG ASSIMILATION RATE: The rate at which the Cyborg player turns the native population into Cyborg colonists can be set from 0% to 100% of the current number of Cyborg colonists on the planet. --------- PASSWORD DISABLE: If the passwords are disabled then all the players in the game will have their passwords set to "NOPASSWORD" every turn. --------- SCIENCE SHIPS: (Climate changers) The climate types of all planets range from 100 (ice planet) to 0 (hot desert). A climate type 50 is the best at supporting all forms of humanoid life. The Crystallin and the native race of Siliconoids do best in hot desert climates. There are three ship classes that are able to transform a planet's climate just by orbiting it. Each ship will change the climate type by 1 each turn. Bohemian Class Survey Ship: Will make planets warmer until climate type 50 is reached. Eros Class Research Vessel: Will make a planet cooler until climate type 50 is reached. Onyx Class Frigate: Will make any planet turn into a hot boiling pool of rock and desert (type 0). --------- CLIMATES: All humanoid type races do best on a type 50 planet ( Temperate - warm ). The Crystallin race does best on type 0 ( Desert World ). The Siliconoids also like type 0 worlds. The Lizards are unable to regulate their body temp so they to like type 50 planets the best. Four races are able to withstand desert climates well enough to support a small desert outpost of 6,000 colonists. These races are: Robots Rebels Colonies of Man Fascists The Rebels are able to build outposts that support up to 20,000 colonists on ice planets. --------- Recycle rate of colonizing ships The percentage of minerals recovered from the hull of a ship that is crashing on to a planet on a colonize mission. Odds of a large meteor impact The percentage odds that ONE large meteor will hit one planet Mine fields YES/NO Allows new mines to be dropped. Will NOT turn off mines that already exist.
