Changes as of November 03, 2014

Miscellaneous:

  • All simulation battles now have unlimited command points
  • Enemy fleets will deploy more ships at the start of a battle
  • Increased default memory allocation to 1024m (up from 512m)

Modding:
  • CampaignUIAPI.showInteractionDialog() now properly handles a null interactionTarget parameter
  • Fixed NPE in weapon.getBarrelSpriteAPI() for non-beam weapons w/ no barrels

  • Mods can now properly override core ship skins
  • Added zeroFluxEngineBoost to settings.json

  • CampaignEngineListener.reportPlayerEngagement now only gets called for player battles (instead of all)
  • Fixed intel tab crash when in a star system that has no hyperspace anchor
  • Spawned fleets now have a "fleetType" variable in memory that corresponds to a String constant in the  FleetTypes class
  • Merc fleets that are actually pirates have a variable $isPirate set to true
  • Vanilla ship skins no longer interfere with total conversion loading
  • Added to ViewportAPI: setExternalControl()/isExternalControl()
  • Factions now use "defaultTariff" in economy.json as the default instead of defaulting to 0.3

  • Frag and cluster bomb bays no longer show up for sale
  • Cerberus frigate properly uses updated graphics
  • Fixed typo in one of character creation options (missing "on")

  • Fixed bug that caused ship engines to have a lot less health than they should
  • Fixed bug where UI buttons would sometimes stop working after post-combat salvage
  • Fixed bug where mounting weapons on a ship and then selling the ship would yield more credits than selling both separately
  • One of the Mule (D) variants mistakenly had a Heavy Mauler in an energy weapon slot
  • Fixed bug where losing ships in a lost battle would sometimes leave you with 0-size stacks of items
  • Fixed bug where all fleets had green crew, now defaults to regular
  • Fixed bug where comm channel access would not get revoked after a reputation drop, and the player would receive messages about their access being revoked every couple of days
  • Fixed issue where large fleets would have trouble with comm sniffer installs/customs scans due to their size exceeding the interruption range
  • Total recovery cost in ship tooltip now properly considers fighter wing size
  • Fixed text highlighting issue in initial person bounty posting

  • Fixed (probably) occasional crash when exiting out of the core UI using the power button in the top right

  • Gray circles no longer show up in hyperspace at the center of various map labels ("The Core Worlds" etc)

  • Fixed bug where it was possible to install a comm sniffer multiple times on the same relay

Whoa! Another update!

btw: What's a Borer Drone? Is that the little laser drone that new small drone ship uses?

Wow that is a long bugfix list. Alex you should really consider giving community somewhat raw pre-update so we can go in bug hunt for you. Look how fast all that bugs floated up to surface after 0.65 release. You spend less time looking for bugs and more time in fixing them and all other not-bug related stuff. Just a thought :P


Hehehe we really killed your server 2h to dl new update.

Yep, that's the one.

I have been thinking about it. Just not sure about the logistics of it and whether it's really fair to ask someone to do that. I've been more thinking about it in terms of asking modders to take a look to see if the stuff they want to do works...

Hmm, weird - it's not slow when I try it. Have you tried the alternate download links? Maybe it's just an issue getting to Amazon's S3 from where you're at.

Still crashing.   :(

Specifically, when I deploy an enemy carrier and fighter wing.  Just crashes right when they spawn.

Also, suggestion: allowing you to deploy allies in the simulation from the Sim pool in Missions.

Can you be a little more specific about what you're doing? I just tried a "run simulation", deployed an enemy carrier + fighter wing, no crash.

Edit: also, this looks like a very different crash... hmm.

Remember that mod I sent you?  Tried to deploy a Kitty Hawk carrier and an ASF-4 Fighter Wing.  Instant crash upon hitting the Deploy button.  I was using the ISS Black Star from the first vanilla mission.  This happens with any other ship I try, and doesn't require the Kitty Hawk to crash; seems to be linked to the mod's fighters.

Now that I think about it, it might be linked to the Afterburner AI mod.

EDIT: Tried removing Afterburner ship system on the ASF-4.  Still instant crash.

Complaining of a crash concerning a modded up game? Sheesh... take it up with the mod authors.

Ah, hmm. If you're able to reproduce this in vanilla, that might help. Otherwise, I'm not sure what I can do here.

Well, some mod-related crashes are indicative of vanilla, or still happen in vanilla, so you never know. The good news seems to be that this one isn't in vanilla (knock on wood?)

Well, logistic side of it is entirely on you as for fairness it would be volunteering "work" aka download it and post bugs that you find. You know, when people want to help. Just help :D  And instead of asking you could make it like plea  ::)

I tried again and now is working normal. Mirror too. Maybe it was my ISP.

A note to yourself, and for that matter, a lot of end-users interested in installing mods for Starsector:

Unless the author him/her/themselves explicitly declare otherwise, presume that all mods that haven't been updated since October 20th of this year, to NOT work with v0.65a or newer.

Too many things were changed around in the core code to expect anything more than successfully loading the game, and little more than that.

The mod that you are trying to run, the Patrian Principate, hasn't been updated once since it's initial release in late October/early November of 2013.

So... odds are, random crashes are almost guaranteed, even if only trying to load the non-campaign missions.
