Thanks for the front page news spot (and for all the previous ones)! I always get a nice boost in downloads whenever there's a news item, so that's nice. :)

There's a pretty serious bug with the asteroid fields in v0.3.2. I'm trying to figure out what's going on and fix it, but in the meantime I'll recommend staying out of asteroid fields.

I tried using the line-in cable to my mp3 player, but that couldn't record the sound for some reason. Instead, I played the game in DOSBox and recorded a movie with CTRL+ALT+F5. I then loaded this movie in VirtualDub and saved a WAV file. Then I opened this WAV file in a WAV editor and isolated...

I seem to remember having a line-in cable for my mp3 player somewhere. I'll give it a go when I get home. :)

Yeah, I meant the one from Privateer. Neither Gemini Gold nor Remake has it. I guess I'll have to somehow record it from the game manually -- I tried using the built-in audio recorder that comes with Windows, but that didn't record it properly, maybe because it's a DOS game...? I guess one...

Does anybody have or know where I can download the sound effect of the 'jump whiteout' -- the explosion of energy or whatever it is at the end of the jumping animation? I've been completely unable to find it. :(

Well, my somewhat loose plan at the moment is to program ship boarding and on-ship character combat for 0.4. Following that I might add planetary combat missions for 0.5, where you'll engage in combat against a horde of Kilrathi, Retros or pirates alongside confed forces in randomly generated...

Thanks everybody! Hope you enjoy the new features! It's important for me to point out, though, that the most important new feature (character combat) hasn't got all that much use yet. You can get character assassination missions, but that's about it. Character combat will become a lot more...

At long last, version 0.3! www.asciisector.net/download.html The most important change in this release is the character combat system. You can now attack characters on bases, and you have an inventory and health. The full list of changes: - Fixed bug that sometimes caused the...

Happy Birthday!

Weeee, my little ascii-baby came in second (well, third) best. I'm a proud parent, today! :D Congrats to Standoff and Saga, they definitely deserve it!

Wow, what an awesome picture. It seems to tell a thousand stories... maybe it's the longing stare of that pilot, but there seems to be a lot of emotions in that picture.

Thanks! :)

I'm currently working on character combat for Privateer: Ascii Sector and I've been looking for information about personnel weapons in the WC universe without luck. Anybody know where I can find info about guns and other character weapons?

Could it also be a play on the song "Long Tall Sally"?
