SE:V Changelog v1.39 |

Greetings.
Some good fixes here including the return of the Empire colour-coded quadrant map - something I was bugging MM about this week. Hopefully that setting for remembering colonies will be realized next week.
---
Version 1.39:
1. Fixed - The command line option -moddir was not working correctly.
2. Added - Turn Based games can be loaded with the command line options now. It works the same
as loading the game from within the UI, but you can change the mod being used.
3. Added - For the command line parameters, "-moddir [dirname]" can be surrounded by double quotes.
4. Fixed - Game Master password was not reset when starting a new game.
5. Added - The Game Host can now reset player passwords using the Game Menu.
6. Added - The quadrant map will now show in ownership colors (like SE4). These are:
Unexplored - Dark Gray.
Explored - Light Gray.
Player Present - Only a single player is present (that you can see). The icon is in the
color of the player present.
Multiple Players Present - Multiple players are present (that you can see) in this solar
system. If you are in the system, then the color is your empire's color. If not, the
the system is in the color of one of the empire's present.
7. Fixed - Crash during combat in mods which have a seeker with zero speed.
8. Fixed - In the combat log report, units were showing zero tonnage.
9. Fixed - Units in a fleet following a formation would not move during combat.
10. Fixed - Satellites launched from planets in combat were ending up inside the planet.

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
But this is not exactly the Se4 system: you had more control in the claiming of systems: You didn't need your presence in a system to claim it. Does that mean, for instance, I will never able to claim the black hole in the middle of my empire?
Also, what exactly is meant by "present"? Is it having a colony, or a single survey sat is enough to claim a system?
BTW, can we hope to see soon a control to change ships positions in task forces? (and maybe edit formations in-game?) That would tremendously improve the whole game experience!
Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Hopefully that setting for remembering colonies will be realized next week.
Wow, if that's the case I'll finally be able to play the game. That one thing was a show stopper 4me. Imgaine that... something so silly being a show stopper.

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
good news, especially the color coding and the remembering of colonies (hopefully), let's see how they actually work before asking for more, those are major improvements, the little things that add so much to the interaction.
Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Inconvenient? Yes! Show stopper? Naw.
I'll be glad to see it fixed, but it barely makes my top ten.
I do hope it gets done right. Might be kinda hard to prove a bug with information that's not supposed to be reliable in the first place.
I do know that if you use the "planets" screen to dispatch your colony ships, they won't go to occupied worlds - so I figure it's not damaging the AI too much either. It probably uses a similar "mechanism".
My sympathy to the Germans. Behind on patches, trouble with shipsets, and can't use "our" mods (so I read). And if that ain't enough, when a bug solution shows up, the thread's in French! They've got real showstoppers, but still they play.

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Mods with zero seeker speed? Hmm, interesting way to do mines in combat... 
Like the re-addition of the system map colors, though - gets to be a pain having map-sharing treaties without them!

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
If you give a ship the deploy mines strategy (if such a strategy exists, I haven't looked), will it just drop them all as soon as possible, or will it wait till its being chased, for example?

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
I understand the Quadrant Map will show empire presence, but what about the System Map?

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Hi there, Does anyone know when the next patch is due?
Thanks Spuda

When Aaron rolls the dice and determines its time for a public patch. 

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
I think I may have caused a slight delay. I request that MM add a per-system and per-space object storage system so that we can add details about planets or ships for the AI that the current system doesn't currently support. He liked the idea, and I think it will be added for the next patch, which will probably be build 1.40.

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Whoa, you mean that you can now tag planets much like with the system notes and call them "Sergetti Homeworld" and such? Now THAT is a poor man's fog-of-war!

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
It's for AI usage, but I think it would be easily expandable by MM to use data in the UI for humans. In fact... I think I'll mention that to him...

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Bah.
This is pathectic.
Where are my space monsters!
I want them!

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
aye that interests me too, tho i'd prefer functionality (mainly talking about AI) over shiny extras personly

Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Yes, yes, oh, heck yes! The game is edging ever closer to being solid, stable, and (thus) thoroughly enjoyable. I second the motion for fun extras to come only after that shiny-happy-stable state has been reached! 




Re: SE:V Changelog v1.39
Great to see some more substantial changes again.
About the Remember Colonies thingy, this will work for the AI's too? So they'll remember colonies as potential targets even when they're not in the AIs sensor range?
