@oxygenes
 
Thanks for your post, its kinda funny isn't it?, Im probably going the same route as the original star wolves developers, not meaning Elite Games. but xBow Software... they probably also had fun developing their game, but I guess they just got bored at the end of it, and it shows. the ending(s) of SW1 are pretty b.a.d if you think of it, at the start of the game you had extremely many choices of missions and stuff like that, but as you got deeper and deeper into the Story your mission log got kind of "small" leaving it at most times with only 2 missions.

just my 2 cents

hmm, russian mod about Red Corsair has story, which explain civil war deeper, Astra is in this mod revealed as daughter of murdered emperor, so if she founded new empire, it is logical continuing. But this line could be created in sw1 directly.
And my post? yes, i usualy write in this style. I think, xbow group had open too much projects at the same time and this had negative effect on quality sw1, ...
Managers will never understand fact, than forcing programer to work is harder like learn cat eat grass.

and here you can look on my jokes with empyrion...

I tried to use search to find info about this and im not entirely sure it is caused by this mod but ages ago playing vanilla i did not encounter this bug.

So the problem is that sometimes I can't enter portals thus breaking the game. It just drives into it and stops at the jump-point. Same problem with some of the stations. Any ideas how to fix it?

bug report
 
Hi. I've been a phantom on this forum for over an year. Great mod, you've done a lot of work, and with that bugs come to life. A nasty bug that stops you from advancing the story.....Free time is bugged and doesnt go away, it happend on Inoco path and on Triada to also that bug is old (i think), i had it on the previous big update. i have a save before getting the free time quest and a save before entering the system. If you need them i can send them and other saves if needed but i dont know how.
P.S. Thanks for the awesome mod, i know its hard keeping this work up but dont give up on it, sure u can take your time but dont live it to die. Me and a few friends really love playing this game.

Hey.

At a bit of a loss here. Installed the latest version and both patches. Multiple attempts, 3x on clean installs.

Attempt to start a new game and letting the intro run, or skipping it, the game crashes with a runtime error at 1/3rd of the way loading into the first system.

Using the Gamersgate retail version with the 1.12 patch installed.

Have I missed a step somewhere?

Heres another PR.

In my spare time I worked on something called MGVE, which is just like MQLE, but this time, it is for Global's.

I think its pretty neat, but lets move to another thing I have worked on: The Addonloader, I decided to tweak it a bit more, and the Loader has now the capabilities to autorun functions that you can define in a table, take a peak
#Snippet#
HTML Code:

--WARNING: This embedded Autorun has a Higher load Priority than SW3 Expansion's GetFollowers() Init Hook, so if -
-- - you use this Autorun, make sure it doesn't rely on SW3EXP Functions
-- "Addon Name",                                "Content-Type",                        {Table of Functions to be Executed}
__AddonsList = {
        --Addons
        {"MGVE",                                        "Addon",                                {"LOG4GV_Clear"}},
        {"MQLE",                                        "Addon",                                {"LOG4QL_Clear"}},
        {"StarRover",                                "Addon"},
        {"SW3_Expansion",                        "Addon"},
        {"Motherships_Mod_0.27",        "Addon"},
        {"Fleet_Mod",                                "Addon"},
        {"Plugins",                                        "Addon"},
       
        --Core Scripts
        {"Data/Scripts/",                        "Core"}
};

This change, along with other additions I plan to take, would make it easier for say: Mod Manager's and such to come up, as I plan to make one eitherway when I finish this Mod, this change will most likely make it worth the effort I put into it, even tho its minimal :)

RCFF: MAJOR progress done, it will be probably done in like at most like 3 - 4 weeks, I wish I had more time to work on this mod tho, it really sucks.

But be assured that Progress is made, and the Mod is still being worked on.

ALSO: I Plan to release a Experimental Build which is basically 0.6.1.9P2H1 but with MQVE and the new Addonloader in the following weeks, to see if its stable.

Note: An Official Repo of the Script Code of the Mod will go online in the near future, might depend on how tricky its going to be to set one up.


Thanks 4 Reading!

FREE TIME (forever)
 
The free time quest stays forever(freedom kill block doesnt do anything). This bug exists for a few epdates now. Also my last post about this bug+some motivational speach is nowhere to be seen
P.S. I can provide SAVE files but I have no idea how.

nocalora29 03-11-2017 01:12 PM

Hey, you probably got hided due to being a new account, but thats normal.

Since I can see your post now, could you load a save file which is BEFORE you get to that Free Time quest and replay to the part where you get stuck, and now I need the LOGfile.txt and the save-game before you get stuck in the free time quest.

LOGfile.txt location: Game Install Directory\LOGfile.txt
Save games location: Game Install Directory\profiles\your user name\save\
