Greetings Fellow Authors,

I know not everyone has been following the Tribble patches, but I thought I might pass along the news that there is a new batch of assets coming with Delta Rising thanks to everyone's favorite Tacofangs. A lot of very cool and long requested additions here.

Foundry:
  • The Foundry is now back on for Tribble.
  • Addition of a number of new Foundry Objects:
    • New Romulus Trees, Plants, Rocks, Waterfalls, Ruins, Props and various other details from New Romulus.
    • Glass Walls/Floors:
      • Federation ESD, Romulan Embassy,and Klingon Starbase.
    • Specialty Volumes:
      • Low Gravity, Floater, EV Suit Required
    • Invisible Floors to match up with the Invisible Walls that are already available.
    • Benches from Earth Spacedock, both Sittable and Non-Sittable versions, and their respective cushions.

ADDENDUM: This batch just hit Tribble.

  • Adding Scientist jacket to the Foundry, for males and females.
  • Adding Salt Vampire male hairstyle to the Foundry.
  • Updating species on a couple Tholian Space NPC encounters to be Alien, which exists, instead of Tholian, which doesn't.
  • Female Changelings are now actually female.
  • The Xindi uniform pieces are now in the Costume Editor.
  • Added "Noncombat" KDF and Fed space NPC groups that will not engage in combat with any groups.
  • Added "Rogue" KDF and Fed space NPC groups that will attack any groups regardless of allegiance.
  • All of the Delta Quadrant species are available as NPC Contacts.
  • All of the Delta Quadrant ships as available as NPC Contacts.
  • Added many of the beachgoers from Risa as NPC Contacts
  • Added new ground NPC Groups: Kobali, Bluegill, Vaadwaur.
  • Added new space NPC Groups: Kazon, Benthan, Vaadwaur.
  • Added some Ocampa and Hierarchy costumes for NPC Contacts.
  • Intel Uniforms have been added to the costumes list.

ADDENDUM 2: ZeroniusRex added a few more NPC group types:

  • Added ground and space NPC groups for the Borg Cooperative.
  • Added Federation-Allied Klingon NPC groups for both ground and space.
  • Added KDF-Allied Federation NPC groups for both ground and space.

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Zero was trying to get the EV suits in with the last batch of costumes, but had to pull them due to technical problems. I can tell you that EV suits are set up strangely for a costume. The helmet is actually part of the chest piece and it requires the head to be removed to look right.

    What might be a more manageable is to add a male/female stock NPC for each of the EV suits. That would at least cover most situations.

    Hmm, glass floors huh? Interesting.

    Well both parts will help me with building a more believable Science Laboratory, and EV suits as costumes will double as hasmat suits

    Apparently we don't even have to wait for Delta Rising - all this stuff is included in the Holodeck patch notes for tomorrow.

    I was thinking, how will we be able to preview any maps that use the floater or EV suit volumes? With the character you create to make foundry missions, one doesn't seem to have the time or resources to earn favors to buy a floater or dilithium to buy an EV suit. Will there be some sort of God-Mode to use to test these things out?

    If you are a 500-day veteran and can get your Foundry toon to level five, you can claim the veteran EV suits. Otherwise if you can level enough to be able to earn 100 dilithium, you can buy one on the asteroid mining station.

    Floaters are a little more difficult. People tell me you can still get temporary ones on Risa or get them through the event store, but I don't think you can unlock that right now if you haven't already.

    There is already a "god mode" but it just makes you invulnerable, not able to fly sadly. Look on the little map preview UI element when you're testing a map.

    As I pointed out in chat during last night's Foundry Roundtable, floater volumes will have limited usefulness unless/until players' BOffs are able to use floaters without any input from the player (other than to equip the BOffs with floaters in the first place, of course). As of now, I'm not even sure if the player has any way of manually turning a BOff's floater on or off - a floater on a BOff is basically a wasted equipment slot.

    This could be a great way to limit the number of BOFFs you can take on a mission, though :)

    Hey all, saw the request for pre-made NPC EV suit costumes. I'll do that tonight. :)

    At least it's a stop-gap until I can get them in the regular costume editor. I've been trying to make sure that we add everything to it. But some things are non-trivial.

    I can't remember whether I called it out in patch notes, but I did add ALL of the various costumes I made for the NPCs on Risa. So while you can't create custom costumes in swimsuits, you can choose from a wide variety of premade ones. :)

    Thanks! Any chance we can have a map option to allow swimsuits on the foundry?

    This is a map setting. We can already use swimsuits on the old Risa map in the Foundry.

    Any chance for:

    - Melee volume options so that we can disable ranged weapons like in some missions?

    - Timeship bridges and/or assets?

    - A vendor or console that sells floaters and/or a melee weapons vendor and/or an EV suit vendor? I'd understand if only the basic versions get sold and they might cost dilithium/etc. but these would help keep missions that use these special features rated high by enabling new players to enjoy these features. I realize vendors are not a typically supported feature and may not be possible through dialogues but I could see, maybe, a click console pre-set to open a vendor window like the "sit in chairs" chairs have a click action pre-set.

    I'm just going to point out that according to Tacofangs, maps are an order of magnitude more time consuming to add than assets. If/when we see new maps added, we won't see them in great numbers. That said, we voted on and compiled a list for Taco some time ago and I'd imagine that's where he'd look to first.

    Just trying to set expectations now.

    What the guys above said, can we get an option to turn NPC's / Props into Vendors so players can purchase EV suits and floaters while In X mission?

    In addition, Ev suit costumes? pretty please.

    I doubt we'll see any vendors as I don't think the Foundry supports them.

    EV suit in the costume editor are proving tricky. However, apparently Zero was adding EV suits as NPC contacts to the Foundry last night. A good compromise.

    A melee only volume could be interesting

    Isn't there something similar exisiting on the Dronzna map or is that all weapons disabled?
