Settings.xml changes won't stick

Holy crap, something is driving me insane. I keep editing the Settings.xml file to change the line that says: <Map command="ThrustForward" key="Down"/> to say <Map command="Stop" key="Down"/> but it's not working and every time I go back in and look at the file it has reverted to the original even t...

Re: 1.07

Hey George:

Just noticed this now. Great work on the new version, and thanks for adding me to the credits. That was certainly a pleasant surprise. If you're ever in need of more editorial advice on game text, feel free to get in touch by email.

Re: 1.06 Weird Install prompt when buying single barrels

Further, there are some words (like "down" and "round") that can be both minor and major parts of speech. If you want to build a complete algorithm I don't think there's really anything you can do to deal with these perfectly aside from incorporate some sort of escaping syntax to let you specify whi...

Re: 1.06 Weird Install prompt when buying single barrels

I'm skeptical of the claims of completeness this list makes but at the very least I haven't yet spotted anything obvious missing from it: http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/prepositions/list.htm As for a general algorithm, I can't think of one better than the one you propose, with one caveat. The...

Re: 1.06 Weird Install prompt when buying single barrels

Ah... well consistency of style is important, but I think the way it's implemented is a little misguided here. I'm not sure about the title "grammar expert," but I do sometimes work as a copy editor. In most cases where noun phrases are used in isolation as labels, it is customary to use title case ...

Re: 1.06 Weird Install prompt when buying single barrels

Also, I've noticed that a bunch of things, like stations names, are incorrectly capitalized. Possibly this is because of Captain's Log? I'll try again later with the mod removed and see what happens.

1.06 Weird Install prompt when buying single barrels

There were a stack of two unidentified armour coating barrels in Eridani Station. I opted to buy 1 and got the message "This can not be installed" and there was a greyed out "Buy & Install" option. When buying single barrels this doesn't seem to happen.

The only mod I have installed is Captain's Log.

Search Function

In all my playing of Transcendence so far if there has been one thing that I've felt the lack of more than anything else it's a DCSS(Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup)-like Ctrl-F function. There are so many shops in Transcendence and it can be such a downer to find an Ice Farm and have to slog back through...

Hola!

Hi all! Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I was turned on to Transcendence by a friend a few months ago but didn't really get into it until a couple of weeks ago. I'm a staunch roguelike fan and something of a masochist, so I've been playing with no mods and a strict "No Resurrections" policy. I ca...

Re: Is saving the Korolov station in Charon easier in 1.06..

I'm a new player and I just saved the Korolov Station in Charon with no wingmen (in fact, I don't even know how you get wingmen...) on my third ever time reaching Charon. I'm flying a Wolfen and using an AK505 that I looted as my main weapon. I took out most of the original spawn with my omnilaser a...
