How would you change Beta 5's continuum fluxes?

In beta 4 flux nodes were hidden, randomized with every new save game, and far too few in number. Currently in beta 5 all flux entrances are visible on the star map the very first time your ship enters hyperspace (as small circles) but their destinations are not visible until you travel through them...

Re: Typos and Comments

Mismatches on the stars are actually due to laziness. I threw these into the beta #4 package at the very last second. The galaxy.png is an accurate representation of the stars and constellations in the game, and is simply a screen capture of the galaxy editor. Alien_boundaries.png is from a much ear...

Re: Alien attitudes levels

I packaged up the Windows version of the game and compiled it twice - creating a debug executable and a regular executable. The only answer I have at the moment since I don't have Linux on a box or a VM is to suggest you first obtain the sources from the read-only SVN: http://code.google.com/p/starf...

Re: Has anyone found Thorium???

I thought that the hint about "our original home world" might be sufficient to make players search for this mineral only on oceanic worlds, which are indeed the only worlds where it is possible for the mineral to drop. Also one alien race uses it in ship construction. For beta #5 I've added the foll...

Re: Unresolved: Distorted title screen

I believe that card is no longer supported actively with by AMD/ATI. Their website says that the last version of their catalyst drivers to support that card is 9.3, which at least is newer than 9.11. I do not know if version 9.3 will solve your problem, but I would suggest googling for another sourc...

Re: Report Beta 4 bugs here.

I did post a solution to this bug, but you may not like it. The intention in the code was to not allow meaningful communication when the attitude dropped below 10. I've patched this on the SVN for the next beta to eliminate this crash and to end communications immediately without giving the player a...

Re: Unresolved: Distorted title screen

Again, note from my story above that I had trouble with graphics drivers dated April 2009 that were resolved by the latest drivers. According to AMD/ATI's website, the latest drivers for the X1550 is version 9.11 dated 11/17/2009 which is somewhat newer than what you are reporting. I would try to do...

Re: Report Beta 4 bugs here.

1. Are artifacts usable? I have no description of the artifact and dont know if I was a scientist could i duplicate the item or anything like that. This is all foreign to me. All I can see is I have a few artifacts and they are extremely valuable, yet they will not sell on the markett because their...
