!! Pioneer Question Time !! - Ask them here

[Loki999]

Oh and be aware that the Express Edition might be set to "basic" instead of "Expert" mode which will hide a lot of stuff because... well because MS are morons. Erm... i appear to have acquired the ultimate version *cough* If you're not working on a branch, then now's a good time to learn, it makes life SOOOOO much easier!  Yup, made a branch but not uploaded changes. I'm happy to keep the code changes private for the moment until its a) finished and b.) decided whether its worth making a pull request. I'd like to make the changes available to the unwashed masses rather than just people who have GitHub accounts. Thanks for the info though, that's useful to know.

Hi Fluffy, Thanks, yes, I think I follow now. I'll have to insert some probes into the code to validate my assumptions below, but this is what I understand. Earth sector coord = 0,0,0Sirius sector coord = 1,0,-1 Distance between sectors is (by 3d vector math) 1.41 truncated to 1. Units are in LY. I can't see the actual system coords of earth or sirius in the game map, so if I assume: Earth system coord = 0,0,0Sirius system coord = 0.5, 0.633, 0.5 Distance between systems (by 3d vector math) within a sector is 0.949046.You have to multiply this distance by sector SIZE in LY which is 8 to get 7.592371 LY. Finally add the Distance between sectors (1 LY) to the Distance between systems (7.59 LY) to get 8.59 LY, which is the value shown on the galactic map from earth to sirius. Am I on track? Thx.

I think so, at work again so can't check once more

edit: problem solved

Hi all, I am having problems with the August release of Pioneer. Has anyone else experienced a red screen kick me out? Regards, Michael.

[Marcel]

No, but I get a ctd when I try to run the Linux64 version with Scout+ G8.

[walterar]

@Marcel Scout+ G8 is not compatible with the version pioneer-201308.25 (aka August?) To fix this, install this mod fixpatch: zz-PioneerScoutPlus-FixPack-G8.01.zip Big changes are coming in the nucleus of Pioneer. I'm waiting for the next release to release Scout + G9

[Marcel]

Thanks walterar! :biggrin: I was thinking mhollow might have G8 in his mods folder too.

[walterar]

To serve you sir! :scout: PS: When I was a child, the moon was of cheese. :nyam:

[Biscuits]

@marcel, Ahh, we did have that 'issue' a while back, I will check this.

[Biscuits]

Nope. No G8 in the mods folder. Guess ill have to wait for the next release and see if I have any problems there. Cant think why this might occur, ive not changed anything and ive still got the past 2 versions of Pioneer on my hard drive. Both of them work fine. Its just the August release that wont load. BEst wishes, Mike.

[walterar]

@Biscuits What says stderr.txt?

[Bigred2989]

Are there any cheats available through the command prompt? I'm not asking because that's how I would play the game all the time, I just want to see all the ships and weapons available for myself without having to grind for hours to do that.

pressing ctrl-m will give you a bunch of money each time you press it

[Marcel]

I remember reading that there's a way to select your ship directly from the console but I don't remember what is is. (That's a hint for somebody to remind me how to do it too.)

[Vuzz]

+1 , i've forget too this command , and i need to check a lot of models in Genesia ...

[robn]

import("Game").player:SetShipType("dsminer")

[walterar]

@Vuzz Until version pioneer (201308.25 "August") the command was: Game.player:SetShipType("model") The new versions, as said robn
