Transcendence

Another day, another release...

http://www.neurohack.com/downloads/Trans108k.zip

Fixes:

1. Fixed the crash bug when docking. This should also fix bugs about saving objects from another system. If you still see that message in 1.08k, please send me your save files.
2. Fixed the bug with deviceSlotCategory.
3. Adjusted the passthrough fix so that there is no passthrough on immutable/indestructible objects.

Thank you all!

I'd barely downloaded 1.08j, haven't even extracted it, when this update came.

Quick bug report:
Used a system map rom and... Hey! What's going on with this?
(Game started on 1.08j) EDIT (additional info): NavBeacon Alpha is on the way to the Huaramarca gate, back to Numerianus is NavBeacon Beta, midpoint to Jiang's Star is NavBeacon Gamma. So, considering the fortress has the waypoint beacon, and it was revealed with the map rom, the supposedly-secret stargate is handled just as a normal stargate.
(Also, I'm a bit curious about what would happen if I didn't have any military rank and got the first mission here.)


FURTHER EDIT (on Mar. 14th 2014)
It's kind of pointless to edit this very old post, but the image attached looked somehow broken and I didn't like that, so I replaced the image with my local backup.
Yep, that's just about it. Just a test-posting on the new forum.

(I skipped 1.08j)...
Game runs fine but.... do I need to enable each mod individually before a new game now? This is nuts.

Select/deselect all mods button, plz!

Kinda. I just unzipped the 1.08k version, dropped my extensions folder into it straight from my 1.08j folders, and launched the game, and I was able to summon both of my playerships to the starting combat screen, so they are loaded in some way. However, when I started a new adventure I still had to check each playership mod before going to the ship selection screen.

I spoke too soon:

Looks like there is still a bug. If anyone can repro on 1.08k, please send a save file.

When you create a new adventure we save the mod selection to Settings.xml. The next time you try to create an adventure the game will use the same selection. This setting is saved separately per adventure and per debug mode switch setting (i.e., you can save a different set of mods for debug vs. non-debug).

On launch, the intro screen loads all extensions. I'm thinking of changing this to honor the settings in Settings.xml.

No idea what happened here.

*EDIT* figured it out. Bug with the "Uncharted" mod (and another crash bug when combined with "Skip Gate".

Question: has something changed with regard to asteroid ore distribution, XML-wise? Because 1.08k (and maybe 1.08i or 1.08j as well) break the Mining Pack's asteroid scanner.

Another error, when picking up mined ore.

The embedded BMP "XVirusHitMask.bmp" used as a greyscaled mask is causing Trans to running incredibly slow and it's not displaying the intended graphics.


Image used for <HitEffect>:


I tested and confirmed this by first saving the primary graphic as a JPG

and altering my code to suite, and got the same massive performance hit along with no displayed <HitEffect> as intended.

I then removed the HitEffect sections from my code entirely and Trans ran just fine, although the default <HitEffect> for nano damaged kicked in. It's got to be something about that mask...

In comparison, these larger images, both BMPs, worked just fine but didn't suit my graphical needs.



Would this be a good time to mention a certain ooooold ticket? http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/trac/ticket/165 Alpha channels FTW.

[EDIT]
Ok, now that's just weird. When looking at the image via my browser, I see the white blobs I expect, but the background color is grey. Every other method I use on my PC to display that file shows a black background... ARGH. I use the GIMP for image editing, FYI.

WTS: Where is "skip gate"? o.o
Uncharted is working fine for me, I gated using GOD mod through entire systems (even the 14-node one).
Can I have the modlist? There might be a topology changing mod I didn't account for when testing.

I got two gates to Huaramarca in one system. One beyond the solar system, and another within, and the one within the system appeared like a normal round stargate instead of the blocky Magellan stargate.
