Noticed a couple of hiccups with Fed DN and FFG.
Re DN,
DAM CON is wrong.
Shows 6,4,2,0 then 5 Damage Control boxes.
It should be 6,6,4,4,4,2,2,2,0; total of 9 boxes.

SCANner is also wrong.
Starts with a 9 working its way to and then an extra 3 boxes.
Should be 0,0,0,0,1,2,3,4,5,9; total of 10 boxes.

SENSOR is also incorrect.
Shows 6,5,4,3,2,1,0 then 3 extra boxes.
Should be 6,6,6,6,5,4,3,2,1,0; total of 10 boxes.

Basically same issues with Fed FFG.

Thanks.

Cheers
Frank

Sounds like old conversions. There was a bug in the previous client that would cause this. I am pretty sure that I corrected it.

I will fix the definitions by hand.

By Jason E. Schaff (Jschaff297061) on Monday, February 15, 2016 - 10:34 am: Edit

Phase 1 is getting very close to done!

At present, there are 135 Phase 1A and 197 Phase 1B conversions remaining to do. This excludes Andros; they can't be done yet because some glitch in the 3G definition process is causing PA panels to not work properly. Paul is working on a fix.

For 1A, we are getting close to the point where most of what is left is one-off ships (one graphic file will support conversion of only one or two ships).

For 1B, over half the remaining conversions are pods, packs, modules, etc.

I have requests here for art but with the injury from the fall it will be Monday before I can work on them. Sorry.

By Jason E. Schaff (Jschaff297061) on Saturday, March 05, 2016 - 07:11 pm: Edit

SVC:

Heal first, send art second. Except for the ISC and Gorn, Phase 1 is pretty much down to the point where each art item only allows 1-3 conversions anyway.

Noticed a couple of hiccups with Fed ships DN and FFG.

DN is missing 2 photons line in EAF.

FFG has no G drone rack in expendables.
SSD shows the G rack but its not labelled as "Drone G #1", just "Drone G" which I suspect is why the client is not picking up on the G rack.

Cheers
Frank

By Francois Lemay (Princeton) on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 - 07:20 pm: Edit

Should mention its the Fed DN+ that is missing 2 photons[ E and F ] lines in its EAF and SSD shows 6 photons.
The missing photons do show up in "My Weapons Status" tab and in the "Fire Decision" step in IA.

Also, the DN+ has 2 same name phasers.
Ph 1 #7(RF+R)
Ph 1 #7(360)
and
Ph 1 #8(RF+R)
Ph 1 #8(360).

The 360 phasers should be labelled #11 and #12.

Also, DAMAGE Control, SENSORS and SCANNERS for DN+ and FFG are wrong as well, its backwards and or some numbers are missing.

Cheers
Frank

By Sebastian Palozzi (Sebastian) on Thursday, March 17, 2016 - 08:05 am: Edit

Not sure if those are mine or not but I'll take a look on Monday. Thanks Frank.

By Jason E. Schaff (Jschaff297061) on Thursday, March 17, 2016 - 11:28 am: Edit

The backwards scanner track suggests that they are old conversions. There was a glitch in the first version of the conversion tool that populated ALL tracks, including scanner, in a count-down format. There are probably a lot of the early conversions still running around with "backwards" scanner tracks.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Wednesday, March 30, 2016 - 04:17 pm: Edit

I have a lot of requests for ship art and will try to get to them later this week. I've been very busy and have suffered constant interruptions.

Sorry, I got caught up in a project and didn't get to the art requests. I'll see if I can do them Sunday afternoon. Maybe somebody could remind me by email in about an hour so it will be there when I come in Sunday afternoon.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Monday, April 04, 2016 - 11:50 am: Edit

Caught up with all requests I could find Sunday afternoon.

Paul

The Fed DDG is missing it's photons
The Fed DDL is missing it's plasma

By Francois Lemay (Princeton) on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 - 10:45 pm: Edit

Michael,
I just informed Jason who is in charge of the 3G conversion.

Thanks for the intel !


Cheers
Frank

By Francois Lemay (Princeton) on Friday, June 17, 2016 - 11:42 pm: Edit

Michael,
Fed DDG and DDL have been repaired and sent in for upload.

Thanks.

Cheers
Frank

Ok Hope this is the right place. I am playing in Mattnett Dramatic Campaign as Jindarains. I can get around the bomber issues as it seems only the M-2 and H-2 bombers are missing a definition and the med and heavy bombers are the same except speed.

How ever all of the metal hull ships are not showing the lines for there option boxes. There are options showing for the asteroid hulls but some are not allowed in the updated version of F-1 and Special sensors are not there and that is one thing i would like to add to at least one rock ship.

It would be nice to have those resolved in case i have to fight. I did one already and my opponent was very understanding however. thank you for your understanding and all of the hard work that has gone into this project

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Sunday, July 10, 2016 - 11:38 pm: Edit

Greg,
Looks like the Jindarian Metal hulls were not converted properly and will be to do fixed.

When it comes to the M2 fighter, I see an M2 fighter in the library.

When it comes to the H2 Bomber, can you check to see if the HB2 "fighter" is the HB2 Fighter that is in the library.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Monday, July 11, 2016 - 11:51 am: Edit

Greg,
I just had a chance to check the fighter and the bomber. Both look good in the client.

I will update the description for the Bombers so that it is clear that they are Bombers.

And I am looking into the NWO and Jindarian Boxes not working.
