To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Continues the full review in Scout.lua module with optimized rewriting in many parts.

 

Very optimized combat situations in all modules.

 

Now you can save the game at any time, and retrieve smoothly.

 

Now the fight is fun in Pioneer!

Everything has been running very stable on 20131125 Pioneer version. (Also works with 201331119)

 

The Pioneer version 20131125 can be downloaded from here: Win32 Linux32 Linux64 OSX

 

To apply this, you should add this fix pack in the mods folder: PioneerScoutPlus-G11-FixPack04.zip

 

 I tried a lot, but it is possible that not all situations. Help me prove this.   :pioneer:

Just entered the master (on GitHub) some much needed changes, but will cause Scout+ not work in the next release night (201311??). I'm already working on FixPack-05  :O  :this:

Long time that saved games, with new versions do not break. Save this match. Maybe work.

Some time ago I have been playing it and I'm about "Dangerous"

I just returned from a reconnaissance mission with my new Rating...

I'm really having fun with the autopilot mode in combat.

It incorporates many, many important improvements, previously published in fixpacks G11, and more.

 

PantallaInicioG12.png

 

Now, the new automatic combat pilot, set on the screen the combat target (red cross) over attacker ship, and if you have installed the Radar Mapper, you will see the data the ship. Serves, among other things, for that your hand can fire missiles as you see fit, while he, shoots the guns. The combat system get fun.

 

Pantalla15-G12.png

 

Has been normalized "Mission Details" screen Scout and added the "Danger"

 

Pantalla02-g12.png

 

Pantalla23-G12.png

 

And, some little fix in some screens.

 

Security Advices:

If you're not willing to fight, travel unarmed, occasionally they can steal your money, but you will not be hurt.

If you're unarmed, and do not know dodging plasma balls, do not take risky missions.

In all cases, stay away from the blue or green balls.

In all cases, becoming a member of SPA or you will lose the best features of Scout+

 

Download free from here: Pioneer Scout+ G12 (all platforms)

 

Applicable to Pioneer Space Sim 20131126 (or higher?).

 

Download free "Pioneer Space Sim 20131126" from here:  Win32  Linux32  Linux64  OSX

 

If you do not know Scout+ I strongly recommend you read the post from the begining.

 

Instructions for installing it are here: How to install the mod

 

Enjoy this. :popcorn:

Thank you Geraldine. Pioneer has just released 131202, but nothing changes for the player.

And do not worry, you do not need, for now, another fix pack.  :prankster:

Tichy, the discussion on the dev forum is to use this technique to make a more realistic Milky Way. Too bad this prototype is just for Windows, but FluffyFreak says he'll do other OS versions too.

@Tichy You will love this scenery to make your movies.

@Marcel You will love build scenery (SkyBox) Are all tools for Linux

Both are using Linux 64?

 

But first I'm going to tell you a brief story.

A while ago, @Shadmar issued a patch that turned the sky black and white to color.

I have it running since then from my master and looks like this:

colorsky.png

But you have a problem. This looks very ugly!

hipersinskybox.png

Then came @fluffyfreak with SkyBox. And now, it's not so very ugly...

hiperconskybox.png

...and it can improve.

 

But, the combination is fantastic.

Although, maybe I'm wrong and this is all crap. :pilot:

It's definitely not crap, or even mierda, but I think the color saturation of the stars needs to be reduced to approximate what we see in a clear night sky.

Happy Holidays to all!

 

Today, Pioneer Scout Plus is one year of life.

 

Happy Birthday, Scout Plus!

 

Pioneer Scout Plus version "Happy Holidays"

PioneerScoutPlusHH.png

 

PioneerScoutPlusHH-2.png

 

This is a special full version of Pioneer Scout Plus on the occasion of celebrating their first year of life.

 

Includes an excellent Italian translation work done by Tichy!

PioneerScoutPlusHH-3.png

 

The executable contains the necessary for SkyBox work, a nice effect for the sky,

imminent inclusion in the official version of Pioneer.

 

 

It also contains the following minor modifications:

 

  * The starry sky now sees in soft colors.

  * Speed ​​lines are more "subtle".

  * Pop-up messages of 3 seconds instead of 5.

  * Messages of camera position are now of 3 seconds,

    rather than 20 (and sometimes more).

  * The date and time, is in best ergonomically position,

    ideally to work with urgent missions.

 

You can get the special 32-bit version for Windows: pioneersp-w32-31223.zip

 

or special 64-bit Linux version: pioneersp-linux64-31223.zip

 

Only Linux 64 and Windows 32. Not Apple, sorry.

 

Important. This version creates its own user folder "pioneersp",

therefore, you can also install some official version of Pioneer without overlap.

 

Merry Christmas!  :santablack:

I have a bug report. Often when I use the keyboard to select menu items the game crashes with a red screen. I've seen it happen while docked and trying to select the bulletin board and while flying and trying to request landing clearance. I haven't seen this occur in the stock 20131224 build. Here's the screen.

[attachment=2442:Screenshot from 2013-12-26 16:19:37.png]

If I go back to a saved game and use the mouse to do the same action the error doesn't occur.

Hi Marcel!

 

This is not a bug of Scout, is an old bug Pioneer who are trying to solve in the nucleus. It happens very rarely and under certain circumstances. Look here:  https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/issues/2544

 

5b6378fc-4bc3-11e3-89fd-53e3a3e4f04d.png

 

It has been reported on more than one occasion.

Perhaps the reason I haven't seen it in a stock version of Pioneer is that I always play Scout+. I just load plain Pioneer for testing. The crash doesn't just occur after loading a saved game, however. I can take off and arrive at my destination, request clearance and the game crashes. Of course, I loaded a saved game before I took off. I'll just use the mouse for now. It reminds me of the old joke;

I said to my doctor, "It hurts when I do this."

He said, "Then, don't do that."

This is an message of pilot of the IN-4582

 

"I can not see the ships that are above me.  I hear gunshots, i see balls of plasma, red, blue, pass very close! They want to kill me!

 

I'm unarmed, and the best friend for the evasive maneuvers, the scanner, is dead! Beep Beep Beeeeee..."
