  Ring World - Client performance issue
Posted by: Snowmantis - 01-05-2019, 03:13 PM - Forum: Prerelease Bug Reports - Replies (3)

When I am on a Ring World in first person view the client performance slows down considerably.    The network (ping indicators?) in the right hand corner slow to crawl (lag, jumpy).  
The issue persists with or without a city present.
As soon as I am on my ship the performance goes back to normal.
When I go into overhead view while on the Ring World surface the client performance is better.

  2019-01-04 System Map, World Map, Rename World, Button Click
Posted by: Haxus - 01-04-2019, 02:51 PM - Forum: Updates - Replies (1)

System Map
It would be handy to have a hot key to view the scan report of the current system.

Solar system page added to Locator window. It can also be displayed individually. The system map automatically changes to your current solar system as you move around. Does not show resource information when the current system has not been surveyed.

System scan reports can still be requested from the star map.

Place Item on Vehicle
Placing an item on static display on a vehicle or other object does not stick it to the object. The static displayed item just remains there in the air when the object moves away.

Static display items can now be placed onto an object from the outside. Items cannot be statically displayed on creatures.

World Map Update

When looking at the world map, it often blinks and jumps back to my location when anything changes, such as a building getting constructed or demolished. This is very annoying.

Fixed world map origin reset and blinking when map changes.

Rename World Officer
Rename world should update officer whose home world name is affected.

Rename of world, solar system or sector now updates all affected officers.

Passenger Give Orders
As a passenger aboard a ship, neutral to the empire owning the ship, I was able to select crew and troops and order them around.

Units no longer appear on the Unit Orders window unless you have the authority to issue orders to them. Units no longer accept orders from someone who could not have selected them.

Console Button Click
Console buttons are supposed to make some noise when clicked. This has never been completed.

Console buttons now make noise when activated.

Laser Weapon Bludgeon Damage
Reduce bludgeon damage from laser weapons by half. They are light weight plastic.

Bludgeon damage from laser rifles was reduced by half.

Surgery Station Crash
Clicking on random buttons on the surgery station caused the server to crash.

Fixed null pointer error when applying water to a patient when no condition was selected.

Survey No Sun Resources
The system survey scan does not show resources at suns.

Fixed a minor error that prevented suns from showing their table of resources in the system scan report. At present, this only lists preons.

  Update the launcher look for Steam

^ title: would be good to get the first impressions down pat, and they start at the launcher and login/character screens.

Heres a mockup:

  Troops won't board space vehicles
Posted by: BenjB83 - 01-03-2019, 02:05 PM - Forum: Prerelease Bug Reports - No Replies

Hi Haxus,

all good is thrice. Here the third and last report for today...

I have noticed, that troops and citizens won't board a spaceship anymore. In my particular case I had found a habitable world in my system and wanted to colonize it. However, building became increasingly difficult, because there have been a lot of creatures around, which kept attacking me all the time.

Hence I landed a Space Rocket and a Transport Ship at both the military and the civil airport. I saw a bunch of troops on my list, but none would respond. Moving up to them and clicking the follow me button in the troops menu did not work neither did the mount or come here button. I was also unable to change weapons and armor there, even though there was some in stock. I could select the knife and leather armor or none but no EV or for example shotguns. I have then tried the same from the trade comms channel, clicking on boarding and offer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 spots. The hails remained unanswered. I then tried the same for passenger, inviting them to come. The idea was to bring two troops and 2 passengers to help building. Same issue however. It did not seem to work.

I tried on civil and military airports. Troops were present. I am on top of the chain of command. I have built barracks and starfleet academy as well as (obviously) a military HQ. 

On the other hand, when offering officer and crew berth on my starship later on, it did work. I have no troop  berth though, so I could not try. Anyway, it would be nice to get this working again. Back then it was fun to bring a troop or a passenger with you on the second seat of the space rocket. 

Cheers

  Strange objects in the sky (Skybox issue?)
Posted by: BenjB83 - 01-03-2019, 01:58 PM - Forum: Prerelease Bug Reports - Replies (1)

Hello Haxus,

another possible bug I would like to report. In one of my systems, I can see strange objects in the sky. They appear in the form of colored dots and are visible from every planet surface and of course also from space. There are different types, different in size and in color. See the attached screenshot.

I have been trying to fly to them but then don't seem to move or to come closer. Hence I imagine it has something to do with the skybox. Never seen those before so far.

  Crash to Desktop on Avatar Change and Teleportation
Posted by: BenjB83 - 01-03-2019, 01:50 PM - Forum: Prerelease Bug Reports - No Replies

Hi Haxus,

I have noticed frequent crashes to the desktop with the reason of segment fault showing in the console. These seem to mostly appear when attempting to teleport. The TP is done but the game crashes. Upon restart I am at the new location. Occasionally this seems to happen as well when switching characters. 

I can see the error in the console. The output is in the attached screenshot.

It is quite easy to reproduce. I get it 9 out of 10 times, when sending a TP invitation from one of my avatars to another. I do not know if this is an issue when you send request between your own chars or all chars. Also I don't know if this is a Linux specific thing. I am running Linux Mint 19. I know that I did teleport Dean several times not too long ago and it worked fine.

Cheers

  officer pool
Posted by: Slaxx - 01-02-2019, 11:46 PM - Forum: Arena of Ideas - Replies (1)

add a spacestation module or maybe a building where all officers from your empire meet or maybe just the galaxy or other specific ranges.

i thought about this like the shipment function where you can set spacestations to send shipments to planets, except in this case, a specific space station would receive all officers from the empire.

  Land bridge collision broken
Posted by: Ikkir Isth - 01-02-2019, 12:16 AM - Forum: Prerelease Bug Reports - No Replies

On Land Bridge: design 3415151

Cannot cross it, get stuck at the border. Messing with border too much actually boots me into orbit, where I get suffocated.

I guess this is alright, I was planning on scuttling the ship anyways. But operating an empire on both zones seem to be quite buggy.

  No default Carpenter, cant change intended back either
Posted by: Ikkir Isth - 01-01-2019, 12:09 AM - Forum: Prerelease Bug Reports - No Replies

One of the first things I tend to do is make a carpenter for quick shovels and theres no default one yet.


Edit: ok, maybe the main problem is it seems I cant uncheck the "intended industry box" on the blueprint filter: always reselects on close.

Edit 2: seems Xing out just doesnt save maybe? Have to push enter for it to save and work.
