Re: Feedback Imperial Stockpile (round 3) - Limited Input

Not sure how to fix this. Is it the same for exobots? Never tried, because I only build them in asteroids (and whenever I conquer an exobot planet I build concentration camps right away). I'll do. Looks like it is just missing some conditions in EnqueueLocation from Location (asteroids/gasgiants, u...

Re: Bug? Screenshot freezed game (linux, fullscreen)

Might also check after revert of bind->lambda (which will include #1945 ). From logs, part of this sounds like it might be related to resigning and starting a new/loaded game. Another possible candidate is the combination of SDL, fullscreen and (less so) Ubuntu. Do you play any other fullscreen SDL ...

Re: Feedback Imperial Stockpile (round 3) - Limited Input

If further changes are needed for pop after gas giant size changes, think Geoff had the right idea for xenophobic (though instead make a new trait with some malus). Sly sound like they warrant new traits, if not a new metabolism. Is the spatial bubble hull centric to the IS species starting out? Mig...

Re: Playing stealthy (Sly/Laenfa) with IS

Maybe not disallow GG, but change the effect/description such that they only have an effect when unpopulated (or reduced effect with populated).

Re: Comsat/planetary defenses re-design

Think I might favor unarmed and non-mobile, need to try it out against various monsters. (rest of this post is related to replacing hull) Wanted to see how replacement of colony hull might work with some other local changes, I've pushed a rough shot of such to this branch as a reference. A noticeabl...

Re: Comsat/planetary defenses re-design

Could this be done via "buildings" called something like "outposting launch", "colonizing launch" and "assault launch"... Is it possible already to set a planet as a target for a building when it is started? Or could it be done that once the building is finis...

Re: [Bug] Unable to save after starting 2nd game

Finally found a semi-reliable way to reproduce (start game with 20+ AI, exit during save, cancel dialog).
Posted logs into #1944, accompanied with a potential fix.

Re: [Bug] Unable to save after starting 2nd game

So just had this issue or something similar. Seems HumanClientApp::m_game_saves_in_progress is preventing further saves from being attempted.
Still looking through it, but not sure where all it should be cleared/reset yet (or why I don't find any error/warnings for a previously failed save).

Re: Comsat/planetary defenses re-design

What is that "in system transport vehicle" that MatGB mentions (and what is the relation to the in-game comsat)? Outposting, colonizing, or invading other planets in-system. If those take on some different mechanic, the colony base hull could be removed. Some toggle for planets would be a...

Re: Balance adjustments for damage control techs (PR#1853)

Do you mean change it from current HP to maximum HP, or some combination of the two? The former seems to conflict with initial request: Plus, the techs should repair based on current structure not max structure, forcing heavily damaged big ships to limp home for repairs not simply hide for a couple ...

Re: More dependencies on strategic resources (ship build on

Asteriod hulls depending on asteroid belts work because asteroid belts are an essential game element always present on all maps. Slight gripe, I don't find asteroids to be suitably present on many maps to a point that bee-lining for asteroid hulls is a reliable option. A suitable presence in this r...

Re: Sitrep for spatial flux bubble hull appearing every turn

Yes, the change/commit in question was to resolve this same issue. With the tech granted in the effect, each time it activated it granted the tech (sometimes multiple sitreps per turn). It seemed odd to gate a tech grant by some focus toggle (and probably another headache for AI), so I assumed it wa...

Re: External Host switches gone between 12.11 and 12.18

Note in next test release, the mplobby-* options are renamed.

mplobby-max-ai -> network.server.ai.max
mplobby-min-human -> network.server.human.min

Re: Fleet overlay

Agree this can be annoying, could also use hotkey (alt + f / g, or ctrl + f / g).

In addition to group selection, another thought is to add fleets within a small radius to fleet window when selecting from map.

Re: External Host switches gone between 12.11 and 12.18

Hi cigillis, Many options have changed names (though I missed mplobby-*): network.server.uri = external-server-address network.server.external.force = force-external-server The command line option --help should list most options. It may help to output the results to a file for now, hopefully it will...
