I figured that was probably the issue, but my wife (who also uses 7) couldn’t reproduce the problem. Regardless, it should be a fairly easy fix on my end, just a matter of telling Pluma to save the file with Window line endings instead of Linux/Unix. EDIT: Re-upped (along with the inevitable tweaks...

AE ships is illegible in Notepad…  That’s probably a problem with writing a mod in a Linux text editor. I may see what I can do about that now that the semester is over and I can do more than trying to find time to breathe in between getting ready for finals. EDIT: I just sent it to my wife and had...

It's very big. Your in-game sprite should probably be substantially smaller: around the size of a Manticore.  At the very most, at least if you’re trying for an authentic scale for the ship. It’s been a while since I’ve seen The Last Starfighter, but I’m pretty sure that 80x80 frames would be overd...

 In the process of working on The Backroads, I’m doing a lot of testing to make sure that weapons and thrust effects are being placed correctly. Even throwing trigonometry at things frequently requires a bit of tweaking here or there. The upshot of this is that sometimes I wind up with something rea...

I feel like it's harder to turn exactly one facing. … If you don't hold the key long enough, you won't turn at all and it only takes a tiny bit longer to turn multiple facings.  I’ve run into this quite a bit, myself. I’ve seen a few calls to map “H” and “;” to turn one facing in the past, and whil...

 I could do that. Three of the gunships for right now.

 The Lambda Coalition Psi Fighter:  The Beasts’ Wyvern:  And the Legion Gunship:  I’ll toss out a few screenshots of some of these in action as I work on the project.

CURRENT STATUS: Closed Beta (0.5.6) TBR’S MINISTRY PAGE  …So. I was, a ways back, going to do a full rewrite of the ships in the game with the intent of giving all of them forty facings. I didn’t have access to the original graphics at the time and didn’t know about PSD, meaning I now have approxim...

 I’m betting anything it’s a UNID range issue. From the UNID database thread: 0xD27K - Xstor Thanks!!!  If that’s what you’ve been using, it’s definitely not going to work. That “K” will be what’s throwing things off. It has to be something in hexadecimal — 0-9 or A-F. I’d meant to mention that to s...

 Not so much an update or testing as a need to say this: *Ahem.* Holy kack the -C is fun! ^.^  That said, so far I’m running with an unmodified 1M and a pair of 1M/i’s, eight 300D’s (one with a Dual Recoilless Cannon and a Class II, another with an Omniturbo, and one with an Urak Mass Driver just fo...

 Yeah, I’d already wrestled with that one — http://forums.kronosaur.com/viewtopic.php?p=57136#p57136 — before <CanInstallItem> was fixed to work more on just armor. As near as I can tell, setting a max value to 0 acts as a delimiter. If you need to keep something from being installed, it looks like ...

 Yep, you have to handle that through events. <Events> <CanInstallItem> (block nil (if (eq (itmGetCategory gItem) 4) (setq return "Weapons cannot be installed on this ship.") (setq return true) ) ) return </CanInstallItem> </Events>  …Or something to that effect.

 …Ah-ha, so I was on the right track. I had a feeling this was going to be some pixels-from-center shenanigans instead of the pixels-from-top-left-corner like the HUD stuff uses. Thanks for clarifying.

 Basically, how do I properly assign them? I’m looking at the code for Nomad Salvager to get some frame of reference, here. Going by the fact that the x-coordinate is negative and stays the same while the y-coordinate changes, it looks the coordinates are being assigned with the ship facing to the r...

 I’m not sure about resistances, but I’m pretty sure you need WMD weapons to do more than one point of damage at a time. I do agree that this is something that might need looked into, though.  On a similar-ish note, do various repair devices have any effect on compartment damage, or do they only eff...

TranscendenceScreenshot.jpg  This was just such a lolwut of a system that I had to screenshot it. In the system between Rigel Aurelius and Charon, there’s a Sung Slave Camp, a Sapiens Camp… and a Centauri Warlord Stronghold. And that’s with just vanilla and CC topology and system generation. Someti...
