Considering my previous post to this is in the wrong thread, a plain vanilla 9b is the load/version of the game that I'm running. I have a very unstable pre-release as well as the plain vanilla or stable 9b standard release everyone else has.

One of the things that's always bugged me about this particular set of missions is fuel. Why doesn't he complain about it?

According to the game dialogue, at least in MY original, the map is suppoded to be in my computer by virtue of the map contained in/on teh two halves of the artefact. That map and the co-ordinates were suppposed to be programmed in by the prof with an attitude. ALSO, When I was shooting...

Yeah, but, (there it goes, talkin' at me again) I have a map in my computer from the artifact. All those points should already be in MY computer.

Launching after talking to Taryn my in flight computer in the HUD display doesn't show the mission objectives on the right-hand-side of my screen like it has throughout the campaign. I have to scroll up to see the mission objectives in the dialogue section in the upper left corner.

Is it just me, or does the launcher in 9b not run setup properly? Whenever I run the launcher in 9b vanilla (as packaged for download) I can not open setup (game settings) to change my game configuration. I have to run setup independently. Could this have a bearing on some of the Linux...

Easter Egg? Holiday gift is more like. A BIG FAT PRESENT tied up in silk and satin ribbons with a HUGE bow.

Too exciting for my blood

Moi? But this is so much more fun! Besides, when you're housebound, what better way to spend your time?

Well, do you have a bin directory there? If so, cd into /privateer/bin there should be your executable files there. Vegastrike, Launcher and Setup Vegastrike is the Game Executable. Launcher should handle your various needs like choosing which saved game to launch, setup will help you...

I found the quirk with the parking issue! If you manage to hit a for autopilot when you die, or hit a as you hit d to dock, you park AFU! Get to the place you want to dock, I verified this at Perry, and it worked EVERY SINGLE TIME IN 10 TRIES, hit a to go into auto pilot. Now that you're in...

Remember I was toying with the Repulsor beam? It's still on my ship and it's still powerful as all getout. I gave up on it and forgot to return it to normal strength and function. Umm, any reason why it should be constantly active, even when it's not selected? The problem is intermittent and...

With 9b the military ships have been removed. Not that you're missing anything. I think the Centurion a MUCH better ship all around. You CAN hack the game for a cheat, but short of that, not really.

Rmemember, the one I described was on a system with an AGP data handling issue with Athlon chips, Doze 2k and a very non-standard video card. And it only reared it's ugly head when I was really pushing the comms keys hard. I DO, even now, experience severe frame drop when I get a LOT of...

Not an issue. Changes in. We'll see if it changes anything. Small system, eh? That's as close as what I could tell by tinkering with playing it.

So Grumble...mumble, but let's take it one step further. I'm sitting SMACK DAB in the middle of the jump point in Delta Prime and the Nav computer shows my ship half way across the system, not in the Jump to Gama/AFieldBasePriv core. HUH? I'll make the change and see if it causes...

I've been toying with new system components. In my travels I came across this. It MAY have been one of the problems I was experiencing with the "Shattered Glass" and font rendering, not to mention the game crashes when hitting Alt+Tab to go to other applications. The link to the site is...

Umm. . .if you have a VERY light touch on the keys you MIGHT be double or triple touching the j key. If you press hard and firm ONCE you don't see the "double/triple bug" rearing its ugly head. If you press J more than once in the jump sphere, you get hit for fuel more than once.

Well, there is that. Being in opposing corners of the system and hearing the battle on the far side is a bit odd, but the buffer I'm talking about is not the in game buffer, it's MY MAIN COMPUTER'S buffers. I exited one game, on drive C, COMPLETELY, using the save/load buttons and selecting...

Oh it's random all right, I'm playing 9b standard and it's on a completely different drive, mind, and for some reason I got audio where there is none! I think I had a buffer that didn't unload. And thne the pirate ship I was supposed to deliver my rescuee, jumped out of system. AGAIN. I'd...
