http://www.deeplayer.com/spiritplumber/ ... -0.2.1.zip (no patch)

* smaller file
* shorter load times
* all the textures are right side up & compatible with the shippack
* proton rockets & bombs display properly
* HUD displays for everything
* hopefully fixed capture mission bug
* hopefully fixed negative upgrade issue
* autotracking buyable again
* fixed lightning-quick sabres

i think that's it.... i'm going back to sleep.

It won't let me download.

::EDIT::
Scratch that, it suddenly decided to like me.

However, now that it works, there are some nitpicky problems. Perry's HUD image is still upside down, and the mining bases are as well. I noticed that the Dralthi one uses the Dralthi VII as its HUD image. And the Demon's HUD seems to be the same as the Gladius. Also, the advent of new HUDs seems to have corrupted even MORE of my unit files.

On the whole though, the addition of the new HUD images is pretty cool. And the shorter load times are pretty good too.

Right now it seems the file or site/host cannot be found, I'll wait a bit before trying again, heh.

-Downlaoding worked fine (11:30 CET)
-loading times are fine too
-I can say the same stuff about the hud as paladin
-the jumppoints look strange (as if a couple of disks were rotating against each other) I like the jumppoints as they looked in alpha 0.2
-from time to time the game crashes (everytime after a fight but i haven't found out yet what causes it)...
-Asteroids don't move (may be a WCU thing i'm not familiar with)
-there are no torpedos (may be a WCU thing i'm not familiar with)
-centurion has an upgrade volume of 12 (may be a WCU thing i'm not familiar with)

I'll keep on testing ...

hehe selfless as i am...

Yup

The real url:

http://www.deeplayer.com/spiritplumber/ ... .fixed.zip

(For those like me, too lazy to type it - took me a couple of tries and an hour to make my mind)

Hey! That's a LOT smaller. I knew it would be smaller, but this is woosh... (no words available). Oh, wait. It's too small. It doesn't work. WTH? What happened to the other file?

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 6:02 pm

First: I downloaded from this url at 11:30 CET

http://www.deeplayer.com/spiritplumber/ ... -0.2.1.zip

One more bug.

The autotrackers work as long as you don't reload the game. I stopped playing for some time and loaded the game again but the autotrackers didn't work anymore (tried k, ship info said all weapons autotracked, couldn't buy new autotrackers) I had to sell the ship and buy a new one and new autotrackers (just selling the weapons didn't work (as expected))...

Post by **klauss** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 6:17 pm

But that url doesn't work.
Both urls don't work.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 6:22 pm

I know, but it worked this morning.

I was just wondering if there is a difference between wcu-alpha-0.2.1.zip and wcu-devel.0.2.1.fixed.zip (if wcu-devel.0.2.1.fixed.zip exists). So I thought it might be a good idea to report which version i'm playing so the people know where to look for my bugs...

spiritplumber · Post by **spiritplumber** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 7:58 pm

erp.... i fudged

sorry

download will be up again in about 2 hours. there was some serious phyton badness happening.

Note: Please DO NOT EXPECT STABILITY IF YOU FLY SHIPS THAT ARE NOT BUYABLE for now. If you do expect upgrade space to act erratically.

blue_paladin42 · Post by **blue_paladin42** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 9:28 pm

No sweat. It wasn't a total loss after all. Load times were reduced significantly. And capital ships like the victory and paradigm destroyers were just right.

sorry for the mess. redid some of the huds, too. also did a few things to the weapons...

Did you check to see if your radar hadn't mysteriously vanished? I had the EXACT same problem in PR, and it was because my radar went bye-bye, but left me with all its functins intact(sans autotrackin).

i'll check...

now, is there a difference between those two files:

wcu-alpha-0.2.1.zip
wcu-devel.0.2.1.fixed.zip ?

spiritplumber · Post by **spiritplumber** » Sat Oct 15, 2005 7:21 pm

yes, the non-fixed one has a major goofup with meshes. ^^; my bad... sorry

Found a funny "crashside". Everytime I try to jump from Sirius to Sol the game crashes. (I run the newest main and both patches...)

EDIT:

Ok... As it seems it doesn't matter from where you try to jump to sol, the game crashes anyway...

EDIT:

And everytime I try to jump from Sol/Tikopla to Sol/Tingvallir to get to Sol/Sol i get this

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Abnormal program termination

Are you at all interested in such stuff?

spiritplumber · Post by **spiritplumber** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:51 pm

sounds like that one of the "prebuilt" units in sol causes crashiness... i'll travel to sol now and see what's up

probably a bad mesh.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 10:07 pm

The next funny thing...

the jump to Weslyn in Sirius seems to be a little jumpy... hehe.
Everytime i reach the jump for the first time it jumps away. it disapears and then i find it some k away from it's original position.

Same thing when i try to jump from camelot to aquila...

spiritplumber · Post by **spiritplumber** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 10:40 pm

beans O_O; i'll play in debug for a while and see what happens... again, i bet it's a bad mesh for some unit.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 10:50 pm

dunno...

is there a way to reload the stormfire?

spiritplumber · Post by **spiritplumber** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 10:52 pm

buy another stormfire

unfortunately i don't have a ton of time to actually PLAY the game

This sucks... Anyway, are you at all interested in all this small grap or shall i shut up?

spiritplumber · Post by **spiritplumber** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 11:02 pm

no, i am interested -- buying another stormfire is actually by design since it makes sure you pay a lot of money to use it. One thing you CAN do is sell your almost-depleted SF to the base, then buy it back, and this'll refill it.
