Ha, man, that thing is a few years old, but it should still work. The game is a lot more sophisticated at this point.

Okay, I'll send him a reminder email.

Hummungus, great suggestion. "Soon" once we're done debugging the current game issues, I plan to move it on to the Phase 6 development. My first goal will be a map editor, but my second goal will be to code in all the user interface suggestions you guys have been collecting. To avoid your...

Somehow I got logged out of the forum, I kept checking it, but seeing no new posts. After two months, this got me suspicious, and I realized they were dated far more recently than I had thought. logging in, suddenly it lit up again. Well, clearly that's a rule misunderstanding on my part...

Just a reminder to RC1207 and ironduke: you have new ships in Game 7, awaiting orders.

Okay so the answer to this is that at speed 1, a bank is simply go forward 1. The way banking is coded, it moves you forward half your speed, rounded up and then banks, then moves whatever is remaining. Since [ceil(0.5) = 1], we're stuck going forward. This is another great question for...

Ask and you shall receive; I've tentatively coded in a UI improvement to the combat phase to reflect this. I'll let you guys tell me if this is obvious. (You'll only see a difference if you're making an opportunity shot). While on the topic, we're getting very very close to finishing my...

I'll wait for Ironduke to get back to me on if 'leaving' a flak field counts. It is easy enough to remove this if he disagrees. As for beta, I'll have to step through it and let you know; feel free to hold it up until I get back to you, likely not before tomorrow.

Well, that turn looks like conclusive proof that flak is working. Also looks like I'll need to spawn some more units shortly. Looks like Victory to the Kilrathi (forgetting my Corvette).

I believe this is because Scratch turned, and you are not within 2 squares, as per DF rules. So I believe this is expected behaviour, and correct.

A small victory: a missile did interact with flak, and upon survival, it continued on to properly roll a hit against a target.

I've got another update in place that should allow flaked (or asteroid-hit) missiles to properly blow up, and then not go on to hit things. Note: missiles don't leave explosion markers (I don't think Ironduke ever did, and it would just get cluttered) As mentioned previously, I won't roll this...

Progress: Looks like the missile claims to have been hit by flak! Then it goes ahead and gives a message as if it missed the target (instead of blowing up in a flak field). Still further to go. I'll do some simulations and try to get 7EP to work properly 'behind the scenes'. Meanwhile, go...

Well, I resolved the issue involving firing flak and missiles at the same time. This lead to the discovery of a generally broken IR missile (at least for a cap ship, I don't think we've seen issues firing them on fighters). Unfortunately I can't actually get my missile locked on beta to fire...

There was a major bug with Scratch's order processing this past turn. I happen to witness the turn kickover so I have the error messages. This was serious enough that I'll likely need to rollback and reprocess to ensure I have it fixed (once it is fixed in simulation). Fortunately no one else...

Okay, I pushed out a major update to the way missiles are handled. This easily could break all previously functional missile flight behaviour (it should have no effect on missile targetting or firing during CP ; all changes are EP related). In Theory, missiles should now intersect with things...

Well, missiles are still avoiding collisions; I looked into it today and discovered/remembered the problem. They're coded with what in an FPS would be considered a 'hitscan'. Basically missiles don't actually move if they could move to hit their target; instead they'll just roll a hit chance...

Yep, that fatal error will hang it. Good catch. I've found and fixed the problem. Also lead to, and found a few other undiscovered issues related to the above. Turn kicked over now.

Shots from Mako to Odin were opportunity fire, which, if I understood your rules correctly, limits you to only using 1 refire. The game forcefully enforces this; when you try to make an opportunity shot, you'll notice the refire dropdown grey out (or maybe it sets to 1, I can't recall, but...

Game 5 should move now, McGeeZax had found another instance of the 'reopen and see all targets' bug that was a bit more specific, but reproduce-able. I just cleaned it up. Everyone else, let me know if you see it.
