Greg,
The Jindarian Option mount issue is now solved, kinda. The ships have been corrected. The issue was there was no designator assigned to the "option mounts". That part is fixed with the updated ship uploaded to the library. The problem is that to have it work completely you will need the update that I am prepping for this week.

So i should update my library

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandor) on Monday, July 11, 2016 - 09:56 pm: Edit

yes Bombers are fine now...The metal hulls are showing just fine and have the right stuff showing...Mind you works and fabrication are not showing but they are destroyed on lab and cargo and they are there, The asteroid hulls are still showing same as You said above. Mind you no works are fabrication.

Somebody sent me an email with a subject line "corrections needed for art" or something like that. That email has disappeared, which probably means I accidentally deleted it while I thought I was deleting spam. Please resend.

Replacement art sent.

How are the conversions progressing, is a certain phase done yet?

What phase or phases have to be done before we can get an electronic Module G3/G3A?

Are there enough changes and updates that need made, and new ships added to the game that G3/G3A needs to be replaced by G4/G4A in electronic and print?

By Jason E. Schaff (Jschaff297061) on Saturday, August 13, 2016 - 12:28 pm: Edit

At this point, almost all of the non -Y and -W era ships are done for everyone except ISC, although some need updates to fixes various and sundry glitches.

The "national fleet" W- and Y-era ships for Feds and ISC all still need to be done,along with about 1/3 of the "modern" ISC and most of the PFs.

I have been remiss in getting images to the gang. I have a list and once not that long ago was doing a few every day, but then something "big and important" happened and I skipped a day and the next day I had a doctor's appointment and the next day I was overcome with and overdose of roast beef and mashed potatoes or something and just lost touch. I did add a daily item to my to-do list to go do at least one ship but I get to that part of the list about 10 minutes to quitting time and just mutter "tomarrah" and go home to rest. I'll try to do better.

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandor) on Saturday, August 13, 2016 - 10:30 pm: Edit

There still is the problem with the Jindarian option boxes. They register and i can load them but they only give 1 of each. Most asteroid ships should show 2 boxes for each option and the DD metal hull should show 4 for each. The FF metal hull should show 2 for each. Would be nice when i get to play a campaign battle they would be right.

By Jason E. Schaff (Jschaff297061) on Sunday, August 14, 2016 - 08:37 am: Edit

That's actually a client problem, and also happens to Orions with multi-box option mounts. AFAIK, Paul is working on a way to fix that.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Sunday, August 14, 2016 - 03:13 pm: Edit

Greg,
Do you have the latest client? I fixed that in the latest client.

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandor) on Sunday, August 14, 2016 - 03:27 pm: Edit

uhmmm I have the one with the new Icon :) I can update again It never hurts and then check back

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandor) on Sunday, August 14, 2016 - 03:32 pm: Edit

Nope I can load them up but still only shows 1 in the countdown box. It should show 2 are 4 depending on the ship

By Jason E. Schaff (Jschaff297061) on Sunday, August 14, 2016 - 06:49 pm: Edit

Confirming that, at least for the Orions, the multi-box option mount issue is fixed. (I was an update behind.)You still need to be extremely careful about the order in which you define the option mounts or things will go haywire. For the BR, for example, you need to define in the order C-B-A-D-E; if you try to define mount A as a plasma-S, mount D (a wing) gets blanked out as the second box filled by the weapon.

It also looks like I will need to slightly adjust the new BR definitions, as the corrected option box system is partially obscuring the bridge box.

I tried to work on the long delayed ship imagines today. Did the Lyran DND and could not find who to send it to so I sent it to Paul F. Whoever wanted it can ask him or me.

I was going to do more Lyran stuff but I had to ask Petrick something and he was out this afternoon.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 05:21 pm: Edit

I sent 15 graphics to Paul and Jason today:

SENT 20 August =====
Lyran CAL Lioness Heavy Cruiser R11.90 R9
Lyran DNE Royal Tiger Early Dreadnought R11.64 R7
Romulan DMH Demonhawk Modular Dreadnought R4.95 R7
Romulan MGH Megahawk Dreadnought R4.100 R7
Romulan OMH Omnihawk Light Dreadnought R4.101 R7
Romulan F-Pal Cargo Sled Pallet R4.30A AM
Romulan SK-MOD Skyhawk Destroyer Module NA 8

Still a bunch to go and when I get to the point of having to create entirely new graphics that don't yet exist it may be one or two per week, but these were all on file.

By Francois Lemay (Princeton) on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 01:15 pm: Edit

SVC,
I am doing the Klingon FW series and I have no Bpv value for the following ships.
FWD, FWG, FWI, FWJ, FWM, FWR, FWS.

These are found in CL 40 page 28.
Gives a description of the ship but no Bpv value.

Would you be able to send the Bpv value when you get a chance please ?

Thanks.

Cheers
Frank

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 01:16 pm: Edit

That is something you need to ask Petrick, not me, because all that I'm going to do is ask him.

Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime. Give him a fish, he'll eat for one day.

By Francois Lemay (Princeton) on Saturday, August 27, 2016 - 03:51 pm: Edit

Done and thanks.

Cheers
Frank

There is an error with the Hydran Hunter Frigate in that it has a Ph1 instead of a Ph2 in the FA.

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandor) on Sunday, December 25, 2016 - 07:09 pm: Edit

The Jindarian DDE has two phaser-1 replacing the rf/r LRG and the lr/l LRg. Should only be 1 phaser. Starnge the other ones are right.

By Gregory S Flusche (Vandor) on Sunday, December 25, 2016 - 07:12 pm: Edit

The option boxes on Jindarian ships are still showing 1 box for each section.

Example the Jindarian CA has 3 sets of 2 boxes. If It has 2 TRAN 2 LAB 2 TRAC. It shows 1 tran 1 lab 1 trac.

Was hoping this fix....ah well

Somebody tell me if there are any more medals for the 3G update since CL51 last June.

By Robert Kroyer (A88mph) on Thursday, March 09, 2017 - 10:14 pm: Edit

I would like to ask if there is any kind of update on how the Y-era conversion is coming along? I wish to starting a personal campaign using SFBOL in the early era, however I noticed that a few Module Y3 ships I want to use in said campaign are not in the client yet.

By Jason E. Schaff (Jschaff297061) on Friday, March 10, 2017 - 05:10 am: Edit

SVC:

I can run a conversion count check, but no way I'll be able to do it before Saturday. I am certain that there have been some "upgrades" in medal count since June.
