1.9 Release

[george moromisato]

I've finally fixed enough bugs to call this a stable release!

Please check it out: https://downloads.kronosaur.com/Transcendence.zip

Here's the announcement: https://multiverse.kronosaur.com/news.hexm?id=2545

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

How do you add the Near Stars to the Stars of the Pilgrim?
P.S. I have Eternity Port installed.

How do you add the Near Stars to the Stars of the Pilgrim?
P.S. I have Eternity Port installed.

Check the folder called "Collection" in the Transcendence game folder.
You should see these 3 files in there: 'EternityPort.tdb', 'NearStarsConnector.tdb' and 'NearStarsVol01.tdb'.
If those three are present then the game start screen should have an optional checkbox for "Near Stars Expansion [1.0.1]" as in the picture below.
Make sure the little checkbox has the 'X' in it, it generally does this by default anyway.
Then when you start the game the extra Eternity Port systems should exist in the Stars Of The Pilgrim galaxy.
Check the galactic map by pressing 'N' and you should be able to see the extra systems, Sol, Sirius, etc, in the 'Near Stars' section of the map straight away.

If that doesn't work, let us know.

I don't know about Xene, but I have EternityPort.tdb and NearStarsVol01.tdb, but no NearStarsConnector.tdb.

[Xene]

Got it, thank you @relanat, found out that I just hadn't added the Near Stars expansion to my collection.
And @butsuri, like I mentioned above, you need to add the Near Stars expansion to your collection. You'll find it on the website, George has the link posted on one of the v1.9 beta updates iirc

[butsuri]

Thanks, that fixed it. The expansion is here, for anyone else looking for it.

(Seems like there should really be an easier way to find it than reading a forum post from two years ago. Maybe it should install automatically for everyone with Eternity Port—NearStarsConnector.tdb is only 137K. Or at least a link in the 1.9 news post, and some way to discover it from within the website.)

You're totally right about that. We should add it automatically.

I love the new Earthzones
Happy the Crystal Clear Iocrym Finally made the cut

However, I see that traffic does not have credits ... I had high hopes for those Pilgrims

Thanks for the new release. I'm playing through now and it's amazing comparing the game today to the pre 1.0 version I played in my early teens.

Further More ...
I have been tollerating blank spaces in the dockscreens because I know what it is supposed to say.

I think the actions have been over worked. "actionUndock" shows up as a blank panel ,
why not simply use " Undock " ?
"Action id="actionUndock" " has been chnged to "Action name="undock" " in my games.


I edited the Common Text to eliminate many common blank action panels, but there are some that are station scripted so they have to be done manually.
( I also have this habit of hitting "D to Next" to hurry the way out of a dockscreen, nothing like being caught in a dockscreen while under attack . So I did change "Done" to D , but everyhing else is still basically just moving the key letters out of the text structure so it shows itself in screen instead of a blank panel. )

JKL for movement doesn't work on map screen?

Just coming back after a hiatus, and tried to set the keymap to my preferred J-K-L for LeftTurn-ThrustForward-RightTurn.

But the 'L' key seems to be reserved in the map view to show the station list. Scouting from the map screen is much harder when you can't turn right!

Is there a hidden keymapping that I can use to assign that command to another letter?

EDIT: found the lines of code that govern this. Looks like 'L' is hard-coded. I guess I'll open a ministry ticket...

[hairyharryz2]

I have added the near stars successfully to have Eternity Port systems in the Pilgrims route, but I do not seem to have any way to obtain a CDM port to interact with Eternity Port station if I add the extension to Pilgrim, although I can visit all the systems and do the faction quests (UAS, European/Asian Pacific Union, etc).

Did I miss something on the creation screen or is there a way to trigger the CDM install event like how it occurs at the very start of the Eternity Port extension?

It was pointed out to me that the word choices I used here in my reply  
was not exactly ... 'correct'.

I DO Apologize to Mist and everyone else that I 
may not select the best words at a time. 

I will NOT edit the reply itself simply because It was my bad 
and I own up to it.

You obviously did not notice I posted a Key Map so you could correct such things.
