Thanks, Icho Tolot, for the advice. It worked fine!!! Just curious why the changes affected Star Base Modules and not ships, etc.? Still enjoy the game immensely even if I don't understand and the "behind the scenes" elements!

Depending on what kinds of mods you were using, some of the mods would have been read in. SBMods are last, so if you were using any other kind of mod, it wouldn't load them.

AP v1.51 the auto survey still seems to be broken.

With music turned off and sound turned off there is still sound in the diplomacy screens and I think also during colonization. When I have sound turned off I would like it to be off.

AP v1.51 the auto survey still seems to be broken.

The quirk appears to be this: when your sensor range increases, newly discovered anomalies aren't picked up by the autosurvey.

Existing ones, and ones newly found the turn after your sensor range increase are. Only ones suddenly found between turns by the sensor increase itself are lost in the aether. If this is the case, save and reload should serve as a workaround.

AP v1.51

I have also noticed that discovered anomalies are still disappearing when you do a reload.

The sound is part of the binks. I checked and there is an API to keep it from playing the sound, but it should probably have its own option.

I have also noticed that discovered anomalies are still disappearing when you do a reload.

Check to see if the anomalies return a few turns after the reload. If so, it could be related to the issue where your waypoints don't show up for a few turns after a reload. They're still there - they just don't show up. Also, it would be interesting to save the game a turn before your constructor reaches an anomaly, then reload it and see if the constructor finds the anomaly even though it is invisible.

I have not seen the anomolies return even after a reload.

Auto survey still doesn't work. I like auto survey and it is very useful. It would be nice to have that feature working again.

Carielf, do you have an idea when some of these bugs may be fixed?

#59 by Citizen NewfyScotian - 8/25/2004 12:15:21 PM

bug on AP v1.51

One recent bug report in another thread is about trade routes that for some reason stop working and indicate N/A.

As far as I can tell these never restart. I usually delete them and start them over again. Usually this fixes that traderoute. But, sometimes the traderoute goes N/A again.

This happened to me last game.

Very annoying.

Sorry that I didn't respond earlier. I've been dealing with a lot of support for Political Machine and trying to get GalCiv 2 started at the same time, so I've had a lot on my plate.

I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to work on an update for GalCiv 1.21/AP yet, but I just discovered due to someone else's post that I'm going to have to re-encode the majority of the drath ships, so there is going to have to be one.

I wanted to mention I submitted a game or two to the Metaverse and they did not make it recently. None of them had Mods installed. Kind of surprised me when I did not get a notice that it worked.

My next game has a Mod installed I will let you know how it went. Thanks.

Good luck CariElf with your programming efforts you are one of the best IMHO. I been playing games since about 1980! Pol Machine rocks!!

Thanks for the update Carielf. I know that you are busy but an update to get some of these bugs fixed would be great.

There is a problem with the Drath? I never noticed it.

The AP scenario "Attrition" plays fine but it keeps creating anomalous scores of zero in the submission screen. I played maso/with mods, maso/without mods, and normal/without mods with same scoring problem.

So far I've completed 6 other scenarios (see my record)and they have all submitted with appropriate metaverse scores. So it would seem that the problem lies with the "Attrition" scenario.

Yeah...the wrong version must be up there. Darnit.

DesertFox, I'll see if I can find your scores in the database. Access isn't working for me at the moment so I'm going to have to futz with it. Did you upgrade to Drengin/TotalGaming.net since the last time you submitted? If so, you need to re-register with your new serial and follow the link from the metaverse page to convert your scores.
