Doh!!!

Ok, thanks, I'll do it tomorrow, though, falling asleep at the mouse.

Okay, good division. It's true, I never saw Confeds fighting pirates, or Kilrathi fighting Retros. When Confeds were angry with me, though, they called me a "pirate". What's 'TC'?

That's what happens when I don't sleep at all... ;-) BTW, I took two missions to the Gemini system from New Detroit. After jumping to Gemini from Junction, the objectives display did not update. I landed at the only base there, the mine, whatever it was called, and one mission succeded, the...

I guess I'm not having any of those problems since I never touched the corrupted rar.

I got it all figured out and fixed. What happened was this: There's some small rock you didn't include a mesh for. And when I posted at the vegastrike forum, Hellcat sent me a message basically saying "you can either compile that mesh yourself, or you can throw the mesher program in the bin...

I downloaded the zip and had a missing weapon_xml file, and now I have a missing small rock mesh... Cannot Open Mesh File smallroid.obj Ass soon as I tried to jump to Pandar's Star, big crash. By the way, Spirit, Hellcat sent me a message saying that I would need mesher under bin, so I'm...

In fact, it would seem obvious to me that Argentus is from a non-English-speaking background.

Did you update the weapons xml, Spirit? I'm asking because I see the same date on those files as when I downloaded them earlier, and had the crash.

CVS is Kilrah...

Sure it will! The factions' attitudes towards you will make a lot more sense. Say, after the Palan missions, hunters might hate you *in Palan and surrounding systems*, as well as in Oxford and surrounding systems, but not, say in New Detroit or Troy... YET, but given time the hatred might...

Well, humanity is not a quality most humans possess, and perhaps it's something that might show up occasionally. Some human CULTURES have no built-in remorse mechanisms and no holds to hatred and revenge. Other human cultures are permissive to the freedom of individuals to question the worth of...

Exactly! I wouldn't even make the faction scores available to the player. All these complex computations should result in faction attitudes that seem logical and reasonable to the player, given past actions. BTW, this is the hallmark of good software, in general: Complex under the hood...

Gotta go do my laundry. Catch you on the next run!

(That was quick! ;-) I'll probably define a class "score" that can be instanced for each group and/or sub-group, so, that kind of postpones the problem of having to define them in advance. You just create an instance of the class for each subgroup, as they may come or go. I'd probably use a...

Well, what exactly would be hard? Just add, subtract, multiply... ;-) No, seriously. Okay, let me put it this way to make things easy: I'll pledge to code this in C++ or in Python, as may be required. (I'd rather do it in C++ as I've never coded in Python, but if it has to by Python I'll learn...

Absolutely not hard to code. I can code that with my eyes closed. And a lot of details escape me, but to the extent that I understand Argentus' posting, I fully endorse it.

Oh, come on, people, the program wouldn't allow re-load; but of course, people could find out which files changed with each save, and force a restore. The way to prevent that hack would be to have a server, yes, but all the server needs to keep is a hash code of the saved files. That's 4 bytes...

I'd be all for the "hardcore" mode. After I finished Privateer, a gazillion years ago, the very next game I played was called TFX (Tactical Fighter eXperiment), a simulation game that was way advanced even compared to the flight sim games of today (except for the graphics, of course). That game...

Yeah, cargo computations are full of bugs, I find. Without going much further, the use of floating point numbers is incorrect. It should be using integers, as the numbers of any item are naturally integers, unless they are planning to allow you to buy fractional amounts of say tons of wheat, or...
