I noticed that there's a line for ECM in the disabled-cockpit.cpt file... I'm playing around with the centurion cockpit and the disabled cockpit to make it a little nicer currently. Could someone clue me in to the 'xcent and ycent' values for positioning screen elements? Is 0,0 in the...

I just spent a few more hours trying to tractor with the turret, and I have to say, forget that!!! this game is supposed to be fun, after all. Either the turret AI should be able to handle the tractor, or we need the ability to add a tractor to a gun/missile mount in addition to a...

Does ECM work? I hit alt-e to start it up, but how do I know if it's working? Is there an indicator light or something? I don't notice any power drain or anything. After I land and launch again, do I need to restart the ECM? I can't tell if its off or on and if I've disabled or enabled it...

I can see that the price changes, but it doesn't change the quoted price in the upgrade screen. So it says it costs 90k and it only costs 50k. What's worse, is that if you have less than 90k you can't even buy it (the text is red and un-selectable) My torp launchers were tracking with...

Checked the buy price of autotracking, it says 90000, but only costs 50000, for missile or gun mounts. (under linux .9b)

maybe a quick solution would just to allow a tractor on a missile mount with the missiles as well, since the turret seems so hopeless.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to tractor things in with the rear turret. These are the steps I follow: 1. Target item. 2. hit alt-t to have turret select, then ctrl-t to have turret AI on (after making sure turret is set to tractor, not guns). 3. Fly by item so that rear...

When I purchased an autotracking enhancement for a missile mount, I noticed: 1. There is no way to sell the autotracking again becuase it doesn't show up under the upgrade listing for your ship. 2. I'm not sure, but it seemed to cost much less than the 90k. 3. Autotracking for...

I would like to, if only to test my further adventures in sound under linux.

Hi Hellcatv, after some serious strain, I managed to get vegastrike from cvs and get it compiled. Still can't get it to run, complains about missing data.. (and it looks like on the forums that while many others have tried, few have ever succeeded) but anyways, I replaced the privateer/bin...

still no success I tried this, also tried to replace 'alsa native' with 'arts' as someone suggested on the vegastrike forums. Also compiled and installed openal with arts support (I had it from the fedora core rpm initially). artsd is running in the background. I tried to run xmms...

Can I have my cake and eat it too?! I tried this solution @ http://www.crius.net/zone/showpost.php?p=249017&postcount=18 but wasn't sure what to do with this file, and didn't see any effect. I can run it with effects working or with music but not both at the same time. This is...

WHOA. my bad. I just tried this again using the vegastrike.sh in the bin/ directory and the setup config launches. But it doesn't work on the vegastrike.sh in the main privateer directory. Thanks!

...though I noticed that the setup options are slightly different between windows and linux... so does that mean that the setup config files are not compatible between the two? ... I uninstalled (and rm -fr the .privateer0009 dir in home) and re-installed privateer and I'm still getting...

Hi Hellcatv, I tried to copy the save from windows over but keep getting an error when trying to run the bin setup: Unable to read from setup.config The file is there in .privateer0009 and is readable... so not sure what is going on.

oh jeepers Wendy.... DUH DUH DUH.. thanks for telling me that, I should have realized that! (it works great, and the framerate is faster in linux than windows, too!) Since I have your attention, do you know if it's as easy as copying the dave game directory from the windows install to...

Hi, Want to get this running under linux so I can stop booting windows... After I run the installer, I cd into the privateer directory, and then what? none of the sh files are executable, if I try to chmod +x vegastrike.sh and then run it, nothing happens, no errors, no output, nada. There...

OMG. That is all I needed to know, MamiyaOtaru! I must have missed the mouse-wheel zoom control in the manual, now the navmap is a breeze to use. Thanks!

thanks for the feedback. I figured out that I could re-orient the nav map on different systems by clicking on them, and with the 3D view, it makes it a LITTLE better to see what the heck is going on... if somebody can tell me how to take a screenshot, I can post it here so you can see what it...

Hi, I'm not seeing this category on the missions screen... Are you sure its in the .9b release? I can't figure out anyway to see my active missions, and now I have no idea what pirate system I'm supposed to go to for layla or whatever her name is...
