As far as I understand it, the Iocrym are to the Ancients what the Zoanthropes are to the Dwarg. But they're still leaps and bounds more intelligent than the smartest human.

I know you wanted a short list, but I'm sorry my mind doesn't work that way. I did my best to consolidate the most saliently important and easy to code bits into a coherent list, ranked by how easy they are to do vs how useful they could be. Again, the constructor ( float x ), taking a string or an ...

Just having that one standard C++ function, atof ( string ), exposed to the TLISP scripting system, would have far reaching consequences, and would allow us to hit the ground running with floating points extremely early. It's known in Common Lisp, for any not familiar, as a constructor. Creating a f...

I had intended to, but after a few hours of researching, writing, editing, researching again, rewriting, reediting, etc, I got tired and had to take a nap

While exploring the options in TLISP available to us, I have discovered a few things about the Vector type available to us, and about vector maths, in general: These objects are actually floating point numbers, but they are not accessible through TLISP in standard (IEEE 754) format. The format used ...

I've made a utility function for the next version of Parallax Worlds very similar to this. If only the game gave us a normal pixel offset function, or kilometer offset, or any other offset than the 22-some-odd pixel offset that we have now. You listening George? How about adding a parameter to SysVe...

I was looking through CoreCode.xml and found this little gem, today: (@ (power (list result toRange) (list gamma 100)) 0) Nowhere on Xelerus or the Wiki does it mention anything about (power) taking list arguments, or how it works, so I decided to do a little digging. Obviously, it returns a list, s...

Very nice. No more with the "Star Burst", and with discs!

Is that basically the system star map spaceColor effect, mapped into the main view screen?

Please understand, without a picture of the issue, you wouldn't be able to describe the problem you are experiencing well enough for someone to help you. Judging by your description, the problem could be anything from your graphics card to sun-spots, and we wouldn't be able to tell.

As well, with Benedict, sometimes he will tell me to sell something that the ship was created with, such as one my missiles. He generally properly detects that the item was sold, but when you're just starting out, being asked to kill station after station of pirates, and he asks you to sell one of y...

Unfortunately, the game engine also doesn't process low-alpha bitmasks quite properly when in close proximity to a star, due to the spaceColor attribute they have. I've tried for years to make the stars in Parallax Worlds actually have a thin, tenuous corona (which is sort of similar to what you're ...

You said that "recall all autons would be cool". Does that mean it's in the works? Or that it is cool and it's in there?

What time zone is this even in?

Uploaded version 3.1 to Xelerus. This version makes a few bug fixes in regards to vanilla planets like the Gas Giants, and optimizes the system generation code, somewhat. Even with System Density and Beyond the Mainline running, system generation times were very much improved. Also, in this version,...
