There are lots of changes and I haven't done nearly enough play testing, so please let me know about any bugs or game balance issues that you find.

Enjoy!

Wow, George, looks grand!

I just got done reading what you put up about the modding expansions, looks like a load of fun and a lot to learn!

I had a small issue downloading, had to try several times to get a clean zip, not sure why but now I got it. Yay!

I suppose I will have a massive load of questions for you in the weeks to come, but the first one would have to be:

What is this: (sysAddStargateTopology) ??! Is it adding a gate to a system from script? (no, I think (sysCreateGate) might do that...) Are my days of weaving intricate static networks (finally) over?

Edit... dang.. download again?
Oh..

Fixed a crash when a multi-shot weapon uses a fire effect.
Fixed a bug with more than two <Fragment> elements in a weapon.
<EffectType> definitions are now supported in extensions.

This is very very good !

I already have many ideas on how to use those...

The <Devices> element for a ShipClass now accepts random configurations such as <Table>
All item cursors are gone; instead, all function take and return full item structures.
(objEnumItems) now iterates over item structures, not item cursors

Thanks Thanks George !

(sysCreateStation) now creates satellites too

Cool!

Wow what an update! I haven't had a chance to play it much yet, but even the first system looks vastly different. Missions everywhere! Lots of new little stations! Chock full of extra flavor and atmosphere!

OMGOMGOMGOMG! I love it!
pretty `splosions!

seriously though, this is great, might just be the hook to drag me back into transcendence.

*has a good idea for a new modded ship*

"why yes sir, that smoking outlet is perfectly normal"
*attemps to apply the flaming shards station explosion effect to a ship*

Wed Jul 30, 2008 3:30 pm

missing some new functions I see in the one page

gamSetCrawlImage
gamSetCrawlText

itmGetAverageAppearing

scrShowAction
scrSetDisplayText

shpGetFuelNeeded

sysGetStarGates
sysVectorSpeed

sadly I don't see any way to write to the log file

OddBob · Wed Jul 30, 2008 3:31 pm

aaaa it's here! *zomg*

Thanks George for being awesome!

I was really surprised at the strength of that Centauri Warlord - killed me in my first game in a couple of hits.
Second game, I got to St. K's and picked up a omni thermo cannon, traveled back and killed him pretty quick

Wed Jul 30, 2008 9:46 pm

he has laser and kinetic armor and that is what I normally have in the first system so I just lead him to friendly ships that could destroy him. (he is very slow)
