Wonderful news walterar!   Its great too that you are playing Scout, so in your honour I too will be playing Scout tonight.

 

Thanks my friends.   

All good. The doctors say that I will live another 30 years. Will be enough to see the final version of Pioneer? 

 

I'm already at my house playing Scout +, again.

 

         ect ect .... 

off topic? 

A day like today, October 12, 1492, a Genoese sailor, caused the earth ceases to be flat; though he still did not know. My respects to the "Scout pilot" Christopher Columbus. 

Good news walterar! 😀   

Mmm... for those who live here in 1492 were not good news. 

Hah! I meant that you're well and going to live for another 30 years 😉

But I must be a little stupid, because I put 1942 instead of 1492 

With regard to the opinion of the doctors, I do not believe them. But I'm still here. 

And long may that remain so! Look after yourself walterar.

 

Thanks my friends.

Hello Walterar,

Glad you are recovering and things are improving on the medical site. I just wanted to thank you for the latest Scout 24f. For me Scout is the best version of them all.

Thanks my friends.   I'm testing the G25f version, which will be released before year-end.

Many new things that undoubtedly will delight players. 

But first I have to test it very well, so the player does not encounter any "unpleasant surprise". 

Thats great news walterar!   I will look forward to it.

Good news Walterar!

I like the detailed Mission Details screen for the Search & Rescue missions! I hope you don't mind if I use some of these ideas in the future. I can only learn from a Pioneer Pro like you! Also great idea with the money lending business. 🙂

It looks great, but the English translation needs some improvement. If you send me the en.json files I'll edit them. Hopefully I'll get the corrections back to you before you release G25F.

What can I say? Walterar, Scout Plus just keeps getting better and better! Wonderful work that of course will get the usual bump on ModDB when I upload the current Pioneer build. These new missions are amazing!

Just fired it up there Walterar and noticed there is not any female commander portraits, just the guys with those multifaceted eye glasses. It's not important Walterar and for all I know its intentional but I thought I'd mention it anyways.

Thanks! I'm using dial-up for a few days, so I can't download the entire game. I got the lang folder. Hopefully I'll improve it a little.

Geraldine, the new facegen is in the beginning phase. Female faces haven't been done yet. There will be much more added to it in the future. 😉

@Geraldine the new face gen. assets is something Evarchart / Wayne has been working on (and off) for more than 1.5 years (search all his posts on dev forum). We're very excited about them, but we don't want to include them in pioneer just yet since they're current only half finished, as they're lacking female faces and some civilian clothes.

@clausimu please take what you want from scout+ and I'd be happy if you could migrate it back upstream to pioneer (for instance the S&R modifications), so we can all benefit from the improvements. That's how free software works at it's best, we hack and improve each others code, and preferably share it upstream, so all get the benefits.

I salute Scout+ as it will always pack more ships and sky boxes and other stuff to walterar's vision, than vanilla pioneer. Each serves its purpose, and together we can improve each other.

Hello Walterar,

I have come across a problem and figured out the solution extracting version G25f in Windows, I am using windows 10 and 7-Zip 15.12 which is the latest version.

When trying to extract it complains there is already a readme.txt file extracted in datafacegen and prompts if you wish to over write however the program has froze and it has to be closed using task manager.

The problem appears to be because there are two very similarly named files:

readme.txt

Readme.txt

I have done a quick experiment and it appears you can't have two files with the same name and different capitalisation in Windows. This appears to be whats tripping up the extractor.

Changing the name of one of the files in the archive to readme2.txt solves the problem and it extracts without issue.
