New bug found..

Post by Duality »

In the Vegastrike upgrade selection, when upgrading a new part, no text shows except for repair and Back to catagories.. Unlike, when you select something in a list, at least a weapon and its description shows up.

anyone encounter this?

I've encountered this one as well.

You can still tell what you have selected by looking in the right window. When you buy the item, it will show up in red as it should.

This is only for ship upgrades, I have not encountered any troubles with regular cargo displaying.

patch

Post by ace123 »

The patch has been up for a few hours on teh sf downloads page, although the sourceforge ftp server has already kicked me off 3 times, just as the upload was supposed to be finished, meaing that the only way to get the corect version is to download 3.9 and then the patch to 3.9.1, overwriting the files

unitialized mem=BAD

what had happened was that the function that was used to set the color inside the CargoColor class was deleted, so it defaulted to black instead of white, although sometimes, if we were unlucky, the colors would randomly be greated than 1, meaning that the color would be white instead, and therefore, we never realized the problem until too late.
