Privateer: Ascii Sector v0.6.6.1 released!

Again, I'm not that knowledgeable about Linux, but are you doing "sudo chmod"? I'm using Ubuntu myself and I think you can set a file to be executable without using the terminal, just by setting its preferences or something. Which Linux version are you using?
 
I'll have to research the details on that. I have an Asus eee pc, and it's the default setup that the machine shipped with.
 
Oh, it's Xandros, then. I guess you should still be able to set a file to executable by altering its preferences.

EDIT: Are you running in Easy Mode?
 
Easy Mode? I'm running a console session and typing "sudo chmod +x asciisec" after changing to the asciisec directory.
 
Yeah, I have no idea why that isn't working. I just know that you can run the Xandros Eee PC OS in both an Easy Mode and a Full Desktop mode and just thought that maybe it had something to do with this. But then again, why would you be able to chmod other files then? Odd...
 
Here's a sneak peek of v0.6 I hope to be releasing tomorrow or Tuesday...

You won't be able to fly a boarded ship, but you can steal everything on board (if you have enough room in your cargo hold!). :D

Loaded up ASCII Sector and played for a few minutes before class today... and as I exited, noticed that I'm still on 0.5.1. I think I'm going to wait awhile before upgrading and starting over... all the new features that keep coming out are just too awesome.
 
You should upgrade to the latest. Don't you want to disable and board other ships? :D

Also, a quick bugfix release:


v0.6.1.1

www.asciisector.net/download

- Fixed bug with escort missions.
- The autopilot will now always disengage if an escortee is under attack, even if you have "Ignore new contacts" enabled.
 
I do, but I don't want to get that far in the game and then discover MORE awesome features that aren't supported in my current build.... so instead I'll just get ahead on my schoolwork so I actually have time to play a later version. :)
 
Save games can always be carried over to an updated version of the game, if that's what you're worrying about? But, yeah, it's probably a good idea to get your school work done... ;)
