I just configure the online translation (Transifex) for Pioneer Scout Plus. 

 

From now on, anyone who wants to help with translation to your language, can do so here: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/pioneer-sp/

 

If your language is not listed may request inclusion.

 

Vulcan, Romulan or Klingon, abstain.

@Geraldine

 

The idea is that you can have access to Pioneer Scout Plus, regardless of Pioneer Space Sim.

 

Something I did for Genesia, and later implemented it Paragon. Now, he is coming for Scout+.

I keep getting random crashes on some of the missions with this mod. IT usually happens just as the data collected notification is about to appear and I dont know why it is doing this. I have the RAR/zip file in the mods directory, but its still crashing. Anyone got any ideas on how I can solve these random crashes.

 

Further note, that its repeatable. If I crash, then reload and try the same mission again, it crashes at the same spot.

Thanks for the report. I found the problem. It happens in the rare event can not found a space station within 10-20 light years, but it happens. 

 

In the imminent release of the new version G16 (I'm doing the last tests) will be solved. Sorry for the nuisance caused.

Pioneer Scout Plus G16 Full is released!

 

All in one!

* More fast.

* More stable.

* More missions.

* More traffic.

* More action.

* More visible ships.

* More fun.

 

This version of Pioneer Scout Plus is distributed in full version, built on the last master of Pioneer Space Sim to the published version. This allows me to add binary support for some things the Pioneer Engine does not yet support. It also avoids you having to download and combine different files, complicated for many people.

The various battle scenes which are included in the latest versions of Scout+, be more realistic now, you can enjoy the new effects of explosions. A simplified version  of the version created for Paragon by Shadmar, adapted for the Pioneer engine (uses less resources) I have tested for months. Very stable.

Another important new feature of this version is the inclusion of Trafic module. A intensive traffic generator, focalized on the "visible environment" of the player. Replaces Tradeships module, consuming much less resources. From now on you will see much, much more traffic on space stations, but without affecting performance.

The bug reported by @Sanguinem (thanks) have been fixed.

 

Many screens have been improved.

And many, many other continuous improvements inposible describing here. Best you discover it.

 

The free complete sources of  Scout+ are here: https://github.com/walterar/pioneer-sp

 

You can watch, download or Clone, and build your own binary, as desired. Specially for Mac users (OSX)

 

Or you can free download Pioneer Scout G16 Plus full version from here for Windows32 Linux32 or Linux64

 

The new version uses its own directory:   DocumentsPioneersp on Win32 or ~/.pioneersp on Linux

 

Therefore you can have installed (and run, concurrently if desired and your computer supports it) Pioneer Space Sim, and Pioneer Scout Plus

 

 

Enjoy this.

Is there a way to set my reputation via the lua console? I can select my ship and money, but everyone thinks I'm inexperienced. I like to go to a start position and simulate continuing my game instead of starting over with each new upgrade.

Hi Marcel

 

Download and put this (console.lua) in user directory (where is config.ini) 

Starts Scout + 

Open the console and type r() and "enter"

Look at the changes in "Personal Information" and "Ship Information" 

Now, edit console.lua, and you can do what you want. You'll see many other options.

Seems that I get to be bug-hunter general for you. I got another bug that is causing a crash. Happened just after I entered a system I was to explore on a mission, right after blowing up a pirate that challenged me on entry to that system. Files attached below. 🙂

I saw this failure a long time ago and I thought having solved but obviously is not. I will pay more attention to that and will soon be solved. It's good that you're there. 

 

I am afraid that your big boat has been destroyed with the new naval missiles. I think I need more.

Well, the dead pirate trying to attack the player. A case of zombie pilot. 

 

This happens in the case of a pirate ship is destroyed before it was recognized as hostile ship. A case which may be common now, with the advent of super-missile (naval missile) 

 

I'm preparing a fix-pack that I post it here in a few hours.

I want to test extensively before, I love this part.

An idea ,

 

If, it's more easy to kill pirate before he was identified

 

 Shot a ship without confirmation of hostile must be considered as piracy ? 

 

If whe added a Rogue Reputation for the player for this sort of act , and increase this piracy  muts be decrease the alls others reputations , maybe it was interesting ?

Well, I think the dead pirate not return. 

 

Here is the fix pack, zz-pioneersp-g16f-fixpack01.zip  

It works like the mods, should be put in the mods directory. 

 

Now they can destroy the pirate with a good naval missile, before he attacks.  Although note that the use of naval missile in a fair fight is illegal. The ships destroyed by this missile are not counted. Nor you will receive your money. 

 

Now, have fun, and, exploiting bastards.

 

@Vuzz, I have to make a game manual, urgent.   🙂

That console.lua works perfectly! Thank you thank you thank you! I found one minor bug. The game puts files named after game events into the savefiles folder. After my first flight I have files named _docked, _exit and _undocked in the folder.

That's not a minor bug, it's a new feature original idea of johnbartholomew: automatic saves. 

 

Especially for those who forget to save before a power cut. 

 

Only I forgot to tell you.
