Twilight of the Arnor Beta 1a Change Log

Published on November 1, 2007 By CariElf In GalCiv Journals

Ok, we may not have gotten to everything yet, but I think that we got all the really big ones. Just a reminder, please make sure that if you post bug reports in the forums, that you post them in the beta reports section, and that you read the sticky note about submitting bug reports first. Also, please make sure that you zip save games when you attach them in your reports, and that you give instructions on how to reproduce problems in your save game.

+ FIXED: Invisible ship bug

+ FIXED: Bug where upgrading ship designs resulted in blank hulls

+ FIXED: Bug where thumbnail would not update on Quick Build list if you selected nothing then selected a ship

+ FIXED: Bug from 1.7/1.8 that caused crash when loading a save game (this fix will work for old save games)

+ FIXED: Crash when trading techs with the AI players

+ FIXED: Bug in the ship hardpoint data code that could cause the game to not find the shipcfg for a ship

+ FIXED: Crash where starting a new game from within a game (like when using CTRL+N) crashed the game

+ FIXED: Bug where component definitions for AI ships and deleted ships were not being cleared when starting/loading a game from within a game, which may have been contributing to the memory problems

+ FIXED: Negative bonuses were not being shown on the PlanetWnd or related windows

+ FIXED: Seam on TitleWnd around the bink animation

+ FIXED: Lockup when trading or stealing certain techs

+ FIXED: Bug where colonizing a planet would crash after an event that causes class zero planets to become habitable

+ FIXED: Selection bracket showing up on Galaxy mini-map

+ FIXED: Weird lines on Galaxy Map

+ TWEAK: changed unhonorable to dishonorable

+ TWEAK: "a history of extremes"

+ TWEAK: CONSTITUENT (should be consistent) in Artificial Gravity descriptions

+ TWEAK: Added sort option to Planet list to sort by habitability

This could have been a much more interesting mispelling...I'm disappointed.

Think about it.

Think about it.

Might it have led to a higher Population Growth rate?

Anyway, Beta 1a is 0.83[b].000 on SDC?

Is beta 2 still on for Nov 8th? Think I might play my first TA game when beta2's out, i'm looking forward to it.

Question- I was playing the Arceans, and I conquered a minor race.

Should I be able to build a navigation center there, or is that a super project, or limited to only Arcean worlds?

Seeing if I have a bug or not.

Once you conquer a planet, it's yours and you can build whatever you damn well please on it.

Hmm. Hopefully DA got patched as well..

Barleyman, not yet. But I'd like to get another update for DA out soon.

Is there going to be a beta1b or will the next update be beta2 on 8th Nov?

Minor Race

on Nov 03, 2007

Some bugs I recently encountered:

a. If you go too fast in pressing 'Attack' when invading a planet, the game crashes (happened to me as Drengin.)

b. I downloaded the update for TA from SDC (0.83[b].000?) and still suffer occasionally from the invisible ship bug. Mainly, with constructers, freighters, and when one ship is on top of a starbase.
