BDATAx.DIS - Old Base Data [V]
+0 WORD Number of Starbases
+2 n BYTEs Records, 156 bytes each
+m 10 BYTEs BDATAx.DAT: Signature 2
BDATAx.DIS: Signature 1One Starbase Record:
+0 WORD Base Id (=Id of planet with this base)
+2 WORD Owner (1..11, BDATA.HST: 0=no base at this planet)
+4 WORD Defense (0..200)
One starbase defense unit costs 10 mc and 1 Duranium.
+6 WORD Damage (0..100)
+8 WORD Engine Tech Level (1..10)
+10 WORD Hulls Tech Level (1..10)
+12 WORD Weapon Tech Level (1..10)
+14 WORD Torpedo Tech Level (1..10)
Tech upgrades: going from Tech N to N+1 costs 100*N mc.
+16 9 WORDs Engines in storage (for the 9 engines from ENGSPEC.DAT)
+34 20 WORDs Hulls in Storage. Each race has up to 20 possible hulls it
can build. These 20 words correspond to the 20 TRUEHULL.DAT
slots. There's no possibility to store hulls a player can't
build normally.
+74 10 WORDs Beam Weapons in storage
+94 10 WORDs Torpedo Launchers in storage
+114 10 WORDs Torpedoes in storage
All the "storage" fields can hold values between 0 and 10000.
As of Host 3.22.031, these fields are not allowed to be
increased without sufficient tech. This prevents the cheat
of building parts without tech, but also prevents the (legal)
act of moving high-tech torps from a ship to a low-tech base.
+134 WORD Number of fighters (0..60)
+136 WORD Id of ship to be recycled/repaired
+138 WORD What to do with that ship:
0 Nothing
1 Fix
2 Recycle
+140 WORD Mission (Primary Order)
0 none
1 Refuel
2 Max Defense
3 Load Torps onto ships
4 Unload freighters
5 Repair base
6 Force a surrender
+142 WORD Type of ship to build (0=no build order, 1..20=index into
above array)
+144 WORD Engine Type
+146 WORD Beam Type
+148 WORD Beam Count
+150 WORD Torpedo Type
+152 WORD Torpedo Count
+154 WORD 0. According to CPLAYER.BAS, this is a fighter count. When
building a ship this value is effectively ignored, that's
why PLANETS.EXE puts zero in here. This field should
really always be zero, after the build as many fighters
as shown here are destroyed with no compensation...Build orders
To build ship parts, ammo, tech levels or starbase defense, clients subtract the required resources from the planet and increase the starbase storage.
To build a ship, you must buy the required items into storage; host will subtract them again. The build order must either be completely specified or completely zero. Beam Type and Beam Count are either both zero or both nonzero, likewise Torpedo Type and Count. Specifying a type but count zero is known to cause problems with various programs.
Costs for a starbase fighter are 100 mc, 3 Tritanium and 2 Molybdenum; configurable in PHost 4.0k+.
