Old Evo Versions

Albos · Jan 1st 2011

I used to play EVO servers way back when the univers expanded into EVO. I played with pilots such as: NRR-SPQR Fabius Maximus, Aukon loke ( Best fighter ive ever seen)(Last seen playing a Starwars mod as a Seth Lord lolz ), Rubber Draco and I was NRR-SPQR Sanguis-Pugnator and NRR-Damnify you might remember some of them names...Anyawy Im trying to relive a few good days of early EVO especialy the version which had twin torps and thrusters on the Ravenclaw and Trident (Love them ships :))

Do you know where i can get that mod and or any server that runs it?

If anyone has info or links it would be great
Helo yo Mr Chips Sir Maybe you can help Anyways whishing you and all a great New Year

Howdy

There's a 1.40 version which has a server (I was not involved with development, but I think they built from the 1.30 release). They seemed like really nice guys - check them out at http://hal2007.eu/?lang=en

Here may also have them but it's hard work searching (*edit* Searched, nope, they aren't here). I did see here also has the 1.29 Guild Evolutions (nothing to do with me, was never even told - but I believe they used 1.28 as it's base though?). My own site has 1.30 and 128.17 just for people to play with if they wish. However, I think dual thrusters may have been 1.27 and maybe 1.28 at a stretch.

As for finding the ol SPQR guys, then all I can suggest is trying via here: http://z4.invisionfree.com/Hal…oServer/index.php?act=idx and see if you can find them via email or pm to find where they are now (if they're still playing).

I think Fabius had an account on this forum here though, so maybe his email is still active if you can find him? They used to have a forum, but I long ago cleared out all my bookmarks

Happy New Year - and if you want any help, just shout

Hello,

i'm working on 5th version of Evolutions 1.40 so i can tell you some info for imagination.

Chips has right. We build it on Evolutions 1.30. Diference between 1.30 and 1.40 is large.

First i want to say thanks to Chips and Pathfinderstudios and peaplo who helped us:

Hal2007 Team with support of n*o clan
Rick,Korki,Majdy,Widowmaker,Death Killer,WOLFik,Lord of The Hell,PadL,Fake Target,

Evolutions 1.40 includes:

fixed bugs which i found
dynamic asteroids
stations and cap ships have shield
stations and jumps can be disable for 5 minutes
rebalanced weapons
rebalanced ships
rebalanced shields
rebalanced power boosters, shield generators, main power units
redone missions(Missions for team of people)
added some new systems and factions
some new staff(ships, weapons etc.)
redone NPC: In missions using missiles, torpedos, mines, CM and repair them selfs. NPCs are divided to seven difficulties(very easy, easy, medium, hard, very hard, extremly hard, nightmare)
power capacitors, tractors, scanners can be dropped into space
more intros in menu exactly 12(3 original, 3 Evolutions, 4 planet scapes, 2 scenes from singleplayer)
and more which i can't remember now

When i'm testing new version i made some videos. These vidios are out of date, but still can preview diference.

SWAT_OP-R8R · Jan 12th 2012

goody, can you give us an update on what is new?

Lord of the Hell · Jan 13th 2012

I have the list of changes, but it is in native language. This is a copy of changes listed in game:

Code

1) Redone asteroids to dynamic asteroids
2) Stations and Capships have shield
3) Stations and jumps can be disable for 5 minutes
4) Rebalanced Weapons, Torpedos and Missiles
5) Rebalanced Ships
6) Rebalanced Shields
7) Rebalanced Power Boosters, Shield Generators, Main Power Units
8) Redone missions(Missions for team of people)
9) Added some new systems and factions
10) Some new staff(ships, weapons etc.)
11) Redone NPC
12) Power Capacitors, Tractors, Scanners can be dropped into space
13) More intros in menu
14) Higher Collision damage
and more
ADD 1
Asteroids are now dynamic, so you can destroy them and when you collide them they flies away.
ADD 2
All Stations have shield and Capships can have shield. Capships have mount(s) for Shield Capacitor or Power Generator called "Capital Mount". Transports, Trains and Liners have one Capital Mount. Gunboats have two Capital Mounts. Cruisers/Destroyers have tree Capital Mounts. Battleships/BattleCruisers have four Capital Mounts.
ADD 4
All weapons and Turrets have Weapon Type(Technology). All Guns and Turrets for fighters have added 50m/s to projectile speed. All munition(Missiles, Flaks, Torpedos, Mines, CM) occupies cargo space and need energy to fire.
ADD 5
All Ship Classes(I,LF,HF,VHF,SHF,Freighter,Bomber) have same mass and strafe force(Nudge Force is same for all fighters).
ADD 6
Cenataur Shields are not changed, but Civilian and Phalanx Shields are changed. Cenataur Shields are best in regeneration rate(best rate is 493). Phalanx Shields are best in capacity of shield(best capacity is 13500). Civilian Shields are compromise between Cenataur and Phalanx. Shield type have different recharge time, so choose carefully your shield.
ADD 8
Missions are more difficult(More stronger NPC). Lowest reward is 6750 credits and highest reward is 3255000 credits. In my opinion one player is able to done mission for 1000000 credits.
ADD 9
Total 78 systems and 84 factions.
ADD 11
In mission NPC using missiles, torpedos, mines, CM and repair them selfs. NPCs are divided to seven difficulties(very easy, easy, medium, hard, very hard, extremly hard, nightmare).
ADD 13
Exactly 12(3 original, 3 Evolutions, 4 planet scapes, 2 scenes from singleplayer)
ADD 14
Collision damage depands on ship speed and mass. Each ship class have different mass. So be careful in fight at collision. It can kill you!(Interceptor-35, Light Fighter-50, Heavy Fighter-75, Very Heavy Fighter-100, Supreme Heavy Fighter-130, Freighter-150, Bomber-150)

Maybe is important to say that you can control your ship in turret view by using keyboard setting for control. And also we solved problem with "dancing battleships". Every munition for rockets, torpedos, mine etc. occupies cargo hold and you need energy to fire.

SWAT_OP-R8R · Jan 13th 2012

That are many good changes.

Lord of the Hell · Jan 14th 2012

I remembered something more: "increasing spherical damage around star". That means if you flying to star core the damage is increasing.

First damage is 100. Second is 1000(damage is summated:1100). Third is 10000(11100). Fourth 100000(111100). Fifth is 1000000(1111100). Sixth is 3000000(4111100). So battleship with hull 8M can't stand it.

SWAT_OP-R8R · Jan 15th 2012

thats cool
I was thinking about something like this aswell but had to drop it as certain zones gave me some problems in some systems (there seems to a limit)

Lord of the Hell · Jan 15th 2012

Well i think i had to remove some zones from "exclusion zone" from Asteroid field and Nebulas. Also i think you're right. Well, source code is the key to break the limits.

Player docking to battleships is possible, but player can't undock at all. Problem is that player's battleship isn't linked with base file, so player that is docked is in black room with only one choice - undock. When this try to use, his game will crash, because game don't know where he is(there is no link to base - no spawn point). It's same as if you use "beam" to only singleplayer base(like Battleship Osiris). There is one different - the base. FLAC will link player's ship with base. This is the best way to make dockable player's ship.

With source code there are many new choices.

Really good work you have done. I like it a lot.
