How to submit minor fixes ?

Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

How to submit minor fixes ?

Post by TBeholder »

Suppose i want to submit some minor improvements like changes in units.csv, how to do this ? I.e. to whom i'd send it ? via forum or IRC ?

Right now there's not only ridiculous things like Commercial Center with 1 (one) dock, but also lots of outright errors like docks placed inside bases' walls, turrets hanging in the void and glitches like Robin.stock and Robin.hunter both having the same equipment listed, but one's stats are changed by its radar and other's aren't. While i'm practicing with Wings i could just as well move few cubes in it and fix those coordinates... and stumble on more unpolished copypaste in process.

Just post them then pyramid can grab it for commit to svn and maybe a PM to him to alert him the fix now exists :wink: this should be ok while pyramid is active work something out later.

Enjoy the Choice :)

P.S.: I'm not sure i understood concept properly, but it's not too easy when half of turrets are just buried under surface. :)

P.P.S.: IMHO it would be better to have habitat(+pd) and perhaps radar_dish of mining base as subunits (and then they can be used for other bases as well). I think i'll do this, as MB has no mesher-screwing LODs.

It would be cool if you could get the latest units.csv from svn, edit it and mail it to me. Then I can submit it.

Hello;

I noticed a typo in the Rlaan Fighter Barracks Entry for Unit.csv. The wrong BFXM file was being reference (units was pointing to one that didn't exist due to a typo) The Unit was invisible in teh game! But no longer!

Here is the patch for the latest CSV from SVN.

hope that helps!
