Uspace Bugs version 11.1 (obsolete)

yup, just change the name, and the code won't look at those parameters any longer. There should be one [MovingLights] per file.

yep, that worked. Frame-rates shot up to 20+ as well, inside the tunnel.

Yeah, it does work. Darn though. I liked the moving lights. Well, fun first, pretty second. We will think of something. Maybe just move a few. Or maybe have the moving ones dynamically created deleted as the player moves so there is only ever a few at a time or something.

ok.. a couple of things:

First, it's definitely a pain to ALWAYS be last at the spewer thing. It seems I even have to wait for freighters that are thousands of km away, still in LDS. Running 3 freighters at a time, this can get time consuming to say the least.

Second, Grouping. Is there anyway to select individual units in a group for orders. Say like Freighter1 in group1 or escort1 in group2, ect. Maybe by making the wingman order command letters, and the unit designations numbers...or something.

Kinda like the grouping in Battlezone 2, where you can group up to 9 units, but still select and order each one seperately.

Also, is there anyway to rename ships?

I am adding a feature that lets you request docking clearance from the station. Then you will beat out the NPC traffic. Also pausing that traffic a few moments before it makes a docking request to give the player time.

Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do that makes you want the new group orders feature? Before I implement solution number 12 on wingman orders, I like to understand better what is happening. Sadly, we have very little control over the hud, so it is hard to implement something really radical.

You can't rename ships. The best I could do is let you choose from a list of names. That might be enough, what are you wanting to do? Just keep the wingmen types clear?

Part of the issue is that text must be in translated files to avoid the little *ship name* effect. The second is that typing on the keyboard fires weapons and launches missiles....

Can you tell me more about what you are trying to do that makes you want the new group orders feature?

Well as it is now, the only way to give wingmen orders is to group them, and once they are in a group, they all follow the same orders. So, in order to have one guy undock, one guy dock, and one guy wait, you have to have each ship in it's own group. That or keep ungrouping and regrouping at each sell station.

Buying isn't a problem as you don't have to dock to purchase pods, but you do have to dock in order to sell.

Renaming isn't that big a deal. It would be easier to keep track of whos who, but it not a game breaker.
