Alpha 4 (may fix lots of crashing)

[jcgea]

Hi everybody outta there. I have the same problem than KrOwz (Runtime Error when I try to launch the game, in Alpha 4), even with the C++ installed. Anyone can help? Thx. Have a nice fly, all you pilots.

Well the idea is that it becomes a big open source game with lots of coders working on it, and it gets bigger and better forever and ever, kindof like a mix of nethack and flightgear or something. I have always planned to make v1.0 mostly as featureful as elite 2 was, and avoid getting sidetracked with new features and consequently never releasing a playable game (. After v1.0 I'd like to add dynamic changing of systems and evolution of the gameworld over time (like places slowly getting more inhabited, wars causing allegiance changes to systems and destruction of cities, etc).I'm not against getting out of ships and walking, although planets are big places so it might be a slow way to get around. Also it would need cool things like dust and footprints and golf to give it some zest.
Thanks for your answer. The ideas you have for Pioneer are very interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing it in the future. Sounds like you are planning to add extras after all. I hope the dynamic war/allegiance system you're describing will not be purely schematic but with visible AI controlled assets fighting eachother.And it's true that a planet is way too big to travel on foot or with a rover/buggy but it's not that I would like to drive/walk from continent to continent of course. I'd use my spaceship for that. I just think it would add something extra if you can stand on a mountain after having walked for half an hour and see your ship somewhere below in a valley. Maybe even build a little miningstation somewhere and watch the mining process on foot. You can come back weeks later and inspect your mining base with a buggy. Also, walking around a city on foot would be nice, even if it were very simply done. Pure awesomeness and the Pioneer planetary terrain would be very suitable for this . Then again, the Pioneer engine would be great to use with just about everything. The galaxy is so huge and its planets so detailed and unique that you simply MUST do more with this game. Sorry for being so pushy, it's just my enthousiasm that carries me away and the fact that we've never had a really good complete spacesim to play with .By the way, sorry for derailing this thread. This should be posted in a different thread I think.
