Paul,

When people do the DisDev announcement and the ESG announcement I get a blank screen (I believe they are writing c4f and something about ESG). Not sure if this happens with everyone.

Also, are you able to play with an older version of the client? Its possible I may need to update it?

Paul, I had a weird error today in my WL gme with Bill Schoeller. At the start of each turn as I advanced to the first impulse it warned me that Bill had not submitted an EA, even though I had seen a message saying that his EA was completed.

I sometimes get this one too. And have also had it where even though all ships have moved the client says some havent moved.

Ships with ADD filling up their racks with Type VI should be able to fire regular drones and Type VI drones.

However, in the SFB room (so not tourney), I have tried with a D5 and a CM with A racks where instead of getting the A racks and ADD racks for the launch drones stage, Im getting a double up of A racks.

So it is letting me fire 2 drones from A racks at once.

I asked someone else to check it and they got the same issue.

By Jason Langdon (Jaspar) on Saturday, July 02, 2011 - 02:13 am: Edit

Note: this is when using the Activity stage button. If you right click on the ship and select Launch Drones it does work.

Further to this:
In the launch drones activity stage, I went for the Text option and wrote "Launch 4 drones" and when I executed my activity the announcement had this doubled up.

So I dare say there is some issues with this part of the Activity process.

Crap. It looks like an issue with the numbering of the weapons. There is an assumption that each "drone rack" and the Drone-A rack and ADD rack have the same numbers. I will look into what needs to be done to fix this.

By Jason Langdon (Jaspar) on Saturday, July 02, 2011 - 06:59 pm: Edit

Cool, thanks Paul.

Can ADD racks be assigned letters rather than numbers? Or does it not work that way?

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Saturday, July 02, 2011 - 09:02 pm: Edit

They can. But the problem is that we want the ship definitions to match the actual SSDs as close as possible.

Paul,
I've had the same problem re drone racks and ADD on same ship.

Would inserting the " # " in front of an ADD rack help to differentiate the drone launches ?

Example, have drone racks 1, 2, 3, 4, etc
ADD #1, ADD #2

Cheers
Frank

Further issue encountered with the drones/ADD.

As long as all the drone racks are available, you can type "launch x drones" in the activity window then launch drones by right clicking on the ship.

But if any of the drone racks get destroyed, then this really messes with things.

Ive been having an issue with saved games not working.

There not anchient saved games either, Im talking last night it worked, today its a blank map.

Any ideas why this could be happening, it appears to only be regular SFB type games that have been lost, but this is about the 3rd time its happened.

I havn't had this problem with any tournement saved games fortunatly, but was wondering if others have gotten the same problem.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - 09:51 pm: Edit

Josh,
Can you send a feedback? I would like to know what is happening.

Paul Franz

By Josh Driscol (Gfb) on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 11:35 pm: Edit

I just sent a feedback, hope it helps.

When I have more time im going to try to see if I can corrupt saved games, see if its something im doing wrong. At the moment I don't have the time to try it and you would have more of an idea what to look for.

Its just strange that its not happening all the time.

Hey Paul, General Alpha units are launching FRA Omega admin shuttles.

By Peter Thoenen (Eol) on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 02:51 pm: Edit

Might be a odd one Paul.

The "set speet plot" chart (part of EA) doesn't work with Frax subs. I can click all day in the chart and nothing happens. Occasionally (complete random) I can click but 99 out of a 100 I can't. Fails with both single ship and multi-ship select.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 10:58 pm: Edit

Peter,
Can you download the latest Frax ship definitions and try again?

By Peter Thoenen (Eol) on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 11:12 pm: Edit

Paul:

Have you updated the library? I did a library update yesterday and didn't see the new frax ships yet. (Haven't seen them since Aaron stated he finished them)

By Christopher M Schrader (Eastcoastfolk) on Sunday, August 07, 2011 - 06:50 am: Edit

Same story with the Tholian Pinwheel Aaron built for me. Need to give that SSD and EA form a test drive.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Sunday, August 07, 2011 - 07:27 am: Edit

Peter,
I updated the library around 4:00pm yesterday.

Chris,
It is now up there. Somehow the DD Pinwheel ended up in the trash.

By Christopher M Schrader (Eastcoastfolk) on Sunday, August 07, 2011 - 04:55 pm: Edit

Hope that is not a premonition of it's future ;)

Is the simultaneous button feature broken.
Chris and I tried to use it yesterday and the stuff we typed in was not coming accross.

Quick fix until its fixed.
