Disappearing Equipment
Privateer Remake & Privateer Gemini Gold
If upgrades disappeared off your ship (weapons, radar..) please save the game and send it to administration.porter@gmail.com
You find the savegame files in privgold100/save and privgold100/serialized_xml
For Privateer Remake the savegame files are in privateer100 and privateer100/serialized.xml
Zip both up and send it so that we can take a look inside and fix the bug.

Don't mean to dredge up an old topic, but has this ever been addressed? Because I have a couple of missing upgrades from the list of upgrades on my ship. First my repair droid went missing, now my armor. They're obviously still there, as things get repaired, and I can see that I have armor, but can't buy any. This is getting very annoying. I only started playing Privateer Remake a week or so ago, and to run into so many bugs is a little disheartening.
Anyway, what do I do about this problem? TIA

Privateer Remake is due for a remake soon, the version of the vegastrike engine under its hood is VERY old. Those bugs you describe, don't quote me on it, but I think they've already been addressed in the engine. Just that the Remake needs to be brought up to date, engine-wise.
Latest version of Cinemut Opaque
Latest version of LaGrande noodleworks (scroll down).

This is a bug in GG only. I have been playing Remake 1.2 + PCU and modding it. Only playing GG do my parts disappear.
4 things I don't like about GG
You can't select your resolution. (without a patch)
You can't select your difficulty.
They took out auto turrets.
They removed all the other gun turrets out of the game but Meson & Lasers.
All kinds of bugs like this I don't get playing just normal remake.
GG is way too hard. It takes five minutes to make other difficulties in the vegastrike.config
You leave a base you get shot up. Your equipment disappears.
As soon as they get off there high horses and accept the vegastrike engine. I will play it. until then it causes me to pull out my hair everytime I play. I even uninstalled it off my laptop..Not my desktop though.
My Modded PCU
Changed gun colors.
Added explosion textures.
Changed some of the ship variants.
Fixed the ship variants that didn't work. (invisible) faction_ships.py
Changed some of the meshes.

I assume by "GG" you mean Gemini Gold (I had to look a couple of places to try to figure out what you were talking about). Well, since I'm playing straight Remake 1.2, it obviously occurs there too, not just GG. I did try GG for a few minutes just now, but didn't like it for several reasons (mainly differences from Remake 1.2, which seems much better to me), but the bugs in Remake 1.2 really put me off from it as well. Maybe I should just go with straight VegaStrike instead, if that has fewer bugs like this. I had not played the original Privateer back in the day and had wanted to see why people thought so highly of it; I may find out if I can suffer through all the bugs, which I'm sure you know there are more than just this one.
Thanks for the info regarding a remake of the remake, though it probably won't come soon enough for me. Oh well...

If it really happens with PR1.2 also it might be of help if you all posted your savegames, at least for the remake, instead of sending them to Mr. Cordell exclusively. So maybe somebody around here can help with the issue.
Besides that, it's always good to also send stderr.txt and stdout.txt, those can be found in the main /Privateer folder.

Ok, here's the saved game along with the stdout.txt and stderr.txt. Let me know if I left anything out.
The Armor and Repair Systems are missing from the Upgrades list on the ship, even though I know they're there, and they function.
I know there's no guarantees about fixing it, as I should be able to sell the ship and buy a new one to get around it, but I've invested a bunch of money into this Galaxy I'd need to earn a hell of a lot to make up for doing that.
Anyway, HTH figure things out.
Edit: Added saved game to zip file. Sorry about that; my zip program had problems adding it because of the dot char at the beginning of the name.

Missing Shield Generator
So my shield generator is missing from my ship (it works on missions, but I can't sell it, and it doesn't show up in the damage report).
Zipped and attached to this post are the files. If someone would be kind enough to fix it, I'd appreciate it greatly! Thanks.

Thanks. I played privateer back on my old Gateway Pentium 75. With a boot disk. I have killed significant time in the last week or so with this remake. Its a great distraction, but bad for my work ethic!loki1950 wrote:Welcome bikerjosh i don't play PR so i can't help but one of the regulars will

Any help???
Since its been 2 weeks since I posted, I figure it might be ok to bump this thread....I'd appreciate any help. I'm reposting the files in a new zip (updated, since I've been playing for the last 2 weeks). My shield gen is missing, so I can't sell or buy a new one. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have just seen this so i will see what i can do.
I may download this depending on how large it is but atm i'm on a public computer so i may not be able to download.
You say the shield gen is missing? What were you doing before this happened? Were you damaged because if you get really shot up parts get destroyed. Have you tried to sell and thing rebuy your ship?
Try thoughs thing and then report back. I hope they help.

Oh, there is another file with all the other files i need to load your save game. I can't remember what there called so look around and upload it when you find it.

Thanks for the help....as for your suggestions, I know that the shield gen isn't destroyed, as I still have shields...they just don't show up in the buy/sell area. I have not tried to sell and rebuy my ship (since that'd cost me a small fortune!), but its a possibility.micheal_andreas_stahl wrote:Hi,

As for the other file, I thought I included all the files i needed...but let me know which is missing. I'll be happy to post it. Thanks!
Edit: Looking at the person's files above me, the files you said are missing might be some txt files...so I'm adding those to my zip file and reattaching it here. Hopefully that'll be correct.
