Slow Building Placement
Placing new buildings causes a very slow frame rate.

The speed is improved a lot, not perfect.

Crash When Client Exits
The client program sometimes crashes when it exits.

A crash was traced to the mail thread. Client program now waits for the mail thread to finish dying before shutting down.

E-mail Address Changed
Spam started arriving at daveh.soh@softwareengineering.com and seiweb1@softwareengineering.com.

Those email addresses are no longer valid. Check the contact page for the new address.

Server Lag
Servers are working too hard doing something.

The function to update patents at each building, which runs every six minutes, was taking a large amount of time due to some inefficient searching. Made some changes to speed up that query. Buildings that were taking a full second to update their patents now take 1 millisecond. Other buildings take only a few microseconds.

This bug was so pervasive, affecting every single building, that a server restart was required.

Server IP Address Change
Shores of Hazeron master server IP address changed.

It is now 74.63.187.69

DNS change should propagate by tomorrow.

A temporary hosts file entry could get you there sooner.

its all a simulation.
i was able to manifest 2 girls wanting to fuck me into existance simple with the power of my thoughts.

i know whos controlling it.
the scanners. i am in contact with them on 8chan.

no one believes me but i have seen proof. i talked to a woman who suddenly changed into a 6 year old child.
i was on a road and the road transformed.
i was near a installation and suddenly it was something else.

things like that.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! ITS ALL A SIMULATION!!

I thought a dedicated thread for thos would be mord useful than talking about it everywhere else. Unsure if I should post this in the Bug Report section, but it can always be moved I guess.

First of all I will say that it looks nice, and a lot of the new features are cool. There are however a few things I miss, such as the option to disable smiles in all my posts.

Anyway, a few bugs I would love to see fixed:

• Links are white and indistinguishable from normal text.
  
• E-mails from the forum is just named "Forum", would be nice if it could say "Hazeron Forum".
  
• The "unread posts in this forum" indicates seem reversed, they are black/dark when there are unread posts, and they are white when there are no new posts.
  
• The video tag didn't seem to work for the video I posted in another thread.
  
  Code:

  Don't know if there is anything you can do about that though.

HazeronAdviser
City status and ship log viewer for Shores of Hazeron.


Introduction
My name is Deantwo and this is my simple C# program that I made to make Hazeron life easier.
Inspired somewhat by se5a's old HazeronMapper program, if you can call it that when they are nothing alike.
This would never have been possible without AnrDaemon's Hazeron mail file header spreadsheet.

What is it
HazeronAdviser is a simple little program written in C# that scans through all your HMails that are locally saved on your computer.
Once loaded it is able to nicely list all your cities and ships, and then point you to the ones that require your attention.

Requirements

• .Net Framework 4.0
  (Standard on windows)
  

1. Log into Hazeron with your character
   
2. Open the Governance window (F12)
   
3. Go to the Places tab
   
4. Select all (using CTRL or SHIFT) the cities you govern (because)
   
5. Right-click one of them, then click "Recent Report by Mail..."
   
6. Open the Mail window (F2)
   
7. Click the "Request New Messages" button
   
8. Start HazeronAdviser (if you hadn't already)
   
9. Click the "Scan HMails" button in HazeronAdviser
   

• Scan all Hazeron mails automatically with one click
  
• Lists all cities, ships and officers
  
• Highlights cities that need attention (low morale, bad jobs/homes ratio, abandonment, etc.)
  
• Calculates the time before abandonment decay starts
  
• Visually shows population, homes, and jobs
  
• Visually shows morale
  
• Better overview of all officers and their home (in charge of ships, on planet, etc.)
  
• List of buildings in a city (highlighting needed and unnecessary morale buildings)
  
• Bank activity information about cities
  

• More attention highlights for cities (no/low food, more?)
  
• More attention highlights for ships (no/low fuel, damaged, more?)
  
• An overview of resources in city storage
  
• Calculate the highest quality spacecraft that the city can manufacture
  
• What is keeping a city from making higher quality spacecraft
  
• Improvements to the Events tab (highlight the tab when there are new events?)
  

Good job Haxus on the game I hope you put jet packs I know you will.

I still have some textures I need to find and re-tune from my old packs, sorry it is taking so long.  I'm also working on more general building textures when I have time.
Gonna break it into multiple posts I guess since there's a 10 image limit per post.

If you have a request, let me know and I'll try to make it happen (keep in mind I'm not so good with organic stuff).  



Federation:

Thank you to everyone who posts or discusses any idea that might make Shores of Hazeron a better game. It takes a brave person to ante-up in the arena of ideas.

Naming Your Interstellar Empire

How did you name your empire, and why?
Did this video make you reconsider your empire's name, why?

A few mentions:

• Republic
  
• Commonwealth
  
• Federation
  
• Confederation
  
• League
  
• Empire
  
• Alliance
  
• Coalition
  
• Protectorate
  
• Hegemony
  
• Union
  
• State
  

Building Count Morale
Morale effect of too many buildings on a world is now reported. As with other morale effects, this is only informational until we see that it is working ok and people have time to adjust.

Helmet and Suit Integrity Indicators
Helmet HUD now has helmet and suit integrity indicators. Suit integrity indicator is grey when you are not wearing an environment suit. When diving under water, only a helmet is needed, not new just mentioning it for information.

City Report Crash
City report causes a crash on the server and the client due to division by zero.

Fixed.


Design Unload Bug
Finalize a bunch of designs in the designer. Exit the designer. Those new designs are not there to publish.

Fixed.

Commission Ship Crash
Commission construction of a use-once design that is on use-once media, like paper or disk. Client side gear does not update. Attempt to commission that same design again. Server crashes.

Fixed.

• Server no longer crashes if that happens.
  
• Client is updated right away when the media is removed.
