I'll BOOTCAMP. It's small enough.

Or Parallels, or whatever. Any of those emulators should get the ship editor running, too.

Wine is a finicky thing to get working just right. For me it doesn't work.

As I'm nearly certain you're attempting to do so via Linux, I'm doubly sorry to hear that. All of us non-Windows folks have our respective crosses to bear. FWIW, I have no experience of Linux but I'm glad it's out there as an option.

I've always wanted to try Linux and Ubuntu. Is it possible to partition the hard disk for an install of one of those, and then boot them up by holding alt as you turn on?

I don't see why a multi-boot setup wouldn't work on a Mac. I haven't personally tried it, though, so be governed accordingly. Google around before you do anything hasty.

Having to do a complete restart is rather a time-suck, though; especially when you've got a strong workflow going and you suddenly need something from the Windows side of the line. The frequency of that would put me into full-time rage mode.

BTW that was one of the major attractions which led me to buy Parallels -- realtime switching between OS's without reboot. And its Coherence mode absolutely rocks.

There was a way to test Linux without the need to even install it, you can run Ubuntu as an operating system from CD. I think it was called a Live CD. Not all Linux distro's have it, Ubuntu does.

If you already have a Windows version installed you can add a Linux install to it, multiple actually, as long as you have the disk space for it. Linux usually comes for a boot-loader program that allows you to pick which operating system to run at startup, you can switch as much as you want.

I don't know anything about Mac's, other then that they are in fact a version of Linux underneath it all.

EDIT: Parallels looks a lot like a Virtual Desktop, are they related by any chance?

Interesting... then it'll be a super dooper bootcamp.

Interesting sidenote: it can be quite amusing (and satisfying) to watch all the coordinates change if you press F2 to preview the raw data as you drag  8)

I think this is a bug, but if you hold down the shift to place a new weapon, and then, the instant before you place it down using left-click, it'll crash. Don't know how often this can reproduced, though.

Did you accidentally a word? :P I assume you meant that it crashes if you let go of shift the moment before clicking.

Couple of announcements:

1. I will be making a tutorial video for my editor, narrated by me. A lot of new folks have been messaging me asking me how to use my editor, and I think it has reached a level of complexity where the side bar help and context help are no longer sufficient.

2. I will be starting work on a weapons editor.

Double woot! I can finally make some multi barrelled monstrosity without the headaches!

Only thing that I can think of for improving now how the zoom function works, since it works kinda strangely atm,

When you want to zoom in on a part it'll always scale up the whole image and it tends to slide the camera back towards the center of the sprite instead of enlarging your current view's centerpoint.
Kinda similar to the problem the refit screen has

Bah Idk, maybe supreme commander has just spoiled me with zooming goodness :P
