:lol: :lol: :lol: Here's a post I wrote offline last night. The main thing is to remember that I get there in the end (and it might help if you type slower so I can understand things better :lol: ). ================= OK, OK, wait, I get it, marsrocks. You weren't talking about a launcher, just using...

I don't think Transcendence really has slots, in the sense of distinct locations in which devices can be installed. The <DeviceSlot> XML elements just add certain properties to any installed devices that match the criteria. Cheers. I wish I'd known that before I wasted all that time :lol: . I'll pu...

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Thanks, AP. I was thinking I would need some sort of looping function to move the ship in tiny increments and you have explained it beautifully (although I was hoping for a shpTurnTheShipToTheDirectionIWantWhileIWatch function :lol: ). And you comments after the code...

In the Annual Report 2015, George mentioned gameplay improvements for future releases. I quote "There are many ways, small and large, to improve gameplay (without necessarily making it too easy). For example, whenever the player is tempted to write something down ("what system was that Commonwealth ...

I'm trying to get two non-launcher weapons to shoot from either side of a playership. Total of 3 weapon slots. One launcher out the front as usual. The next two for weapons. One shooting left, one shooting right. I can make it work like this: <Device deviceID="&itLaserCannon;" minFireArc="350" maxFi...

You want bugs, you got it! :D Start out with the two laser cannons as standard. Make linked fire the second one. http://s9.postimg.org/cxk6xhgcv/link_fire_second_laser_640_x_384.jpg Disable (using 'B', '2') the first laser cannon. The weapon display at bottom left of screen shows the laser cannon as...

SRS, LRS, map view, cockpit view, system map. Could someone explain which is which please. Cockpit view is when you are looking down at your ship, other ships, stations, asteroids and suns, etc. That's the only one I'm sure of. I was thinking the LRS is the faded circle in the top right of the scree...

After having a mental blank a couple of weeks ago when I couldn't remember how to post pics on the forum, I had the idea to do a topic on what works for me so others can share the visual joy :) . HOW TO POST SCREENSHOTS ----------------------------------------------- A screenshot is what it sounds l...

Here's a basic version for 1.7a1a. The turning of the ship is instantaneous which I don't like. Eventually, when I work it out, the ship will turn as you watch it. The dockscreen gives 2 versions of direction. North,South,East,West and top, bottom, left, right. I want to cut that down to one or the ...

More random ramblings about stuff :) . Maybe try a 50/50 or 75/25 chance of either a laser amplifier or a kinetic upgrade in the box. Evens it out in case you play Sapphire. ============================ A couple of times the Drake had nothing at all in it to loot. I went to the second system, opened...

No virus. Just a stupid computer having a fit. ==================== Selected the Defiant 0.13 alpha as playership in vanilla 1.7a1a. Got the message: Unable to start game Unable to find starting system: Tau Ceti But I worked it out. There are two versions of the ship. One to start in Eridani and one...

The EMP device is great. I reckon you should make a couple more of higher level that use more power but have longer range. Good stuff. You could try making a similar device that drops enemy shields like the Ram Cannon. This would be better for freighters with few weapon slots. And you can have your ...

Great story, More, please. After reading this I'll check out more of these stories.
