MOVING MANIPULATORS? [1.05]

[erik dela cruz]

Some found it strange I know I did but I really saw one Manipulator move. I got hold of my debug log that had it. It is the sole 1.05 version crash I got, I mean it is the single crash that happened in T105 as follows:

I did see one move then it crashed. What was happening was I was bein chased by a dozen of sentinels and some commonwealth ships that I accidentally hit around the rows of manipulators when suddenly one of em move as if to attack me. I thought you guys know about this so I did nothing nor reported this earlier but when I mentioned it in my Heretic thread I was tod it is not possible. I'm willing to submit my savefile if needed to justify this. Question is will my .SAV file be able to show it?

Wolfy: I added the version to the title

That's scary and crazy at the same time. Maybe a bug in displaying the graphic?
I think this may be moved to the bug forums though.

And submit the .sav file to George, he'll appreciate reproducible crashes. Just make sure you can reproducible the moving manipulator

[Aury]

Yes, this is a bug: I'll move it.

Yessirry. My eyes almost popped out when I saw it. I mean I find the sentinels creepy but seeing those seemingly benign structures creep....my jaw dropped as well.

[erik dela cruz]

.....err where do I submit my Sav.file again?

[alterecco]

You can upload it here or send it in a mail to george at [email protected]

[erik dela cruz]

Thank you. I'll try.

Having trouble uploading again. What format must Sav file be uploaded?

[Ttech]

Thank you. I'll try.

you can zip it up but it should be able to be uploaded normally.

[erik dela cruz]

Oh right! Thanks again Ttech. I'll try it again.

Loading....and not says file is too big(1,404Kb?) and would only allow 256Kb. Now what?

[shanejfilomena]

Loading....and not says file is too big(1,404Kb?) and would only allow 256Kb. Now what?

is that a Zip file?

[digdug]

Loading....and not says file is too big(1,404Kb?) and would only allow 256Kb. Now what?

dropbox, mediafire, megaupload, depositfiles ?

e-mail it to Wolfy or ttech for further distribution ?

[erik dela cruz]

@Shane yes it is. I hate the word pathetic but now I feel....#$%^& pathetic.

Ok I'd just try e-mailing it to Wolfy or Ttech 'coz pm-ing them would give the same !@#$% result anyways. Thanks guys.

i did not intend that to make you feel silly, it is just that many people do not completely space it about files and compression....no matter how much you do it: some do it far too often also....i got a friend that will zip EVERYTHING as if it was some integral process.

I was just pointing toward the format of compression because, like i said, many people just "don't" .

[erik dela cruz]

Relax Shane. No offence taken. Thanks.
