I reckon ignore the new entrechment update and get a release out.

Unless it fixes major bugs in it, I wouldn't bother.

So the game is working again? Any chance of a release soon?

thanks major stress, those pics fit my resolution perfectly  

Careful Arthyr 121, angering the klingons can be hazardous to your health

Damn those look good Major Stress

And seeing new stations is awesome

Once we nail down the last 9 Critical Bugs on our list we can release the mod. We've put a hold on all other updates except the station balancing which needs to be fixed. We are offically that close. 

You sure you don't need extra testers to help track down those last bugs ? lol...

Toasted Kahless Oats?

Its not a bug. hold the ~ key when moving ships (its tricky to do). It is Ironclads answer to HW2 style movement. Ships in Sins can move in 3d but all combat technically is in 2d. However Darshimmer discovered that if we flipped the x axis (above/below) on weapon points they will fire at targets below the ship in a 180 degree arc. While if you leave them default they fire at targets above the ship at a 180 arc. This helped us to eliminate some of the weapons firing though the firing ships own hull issue. You still get some instances, but not near as much as before. Ironclad had 3d combat in mind when they made sins, but for whatever reason they stuck with a 2d combat system (mainly for performance on a wide range of systems sake). With what Darkshimmer did with dynamic movement we "almost" have a 3d system in place.

9? only 9 bugs?! Wait a minute thats too easy we should still have about 100

It "should" work with both versions. That is what the dev's say, but like i said it is very tricky to do, and i have'nt been able to do it myself. Maybe because im using a laptop keyboard.

Also does anyone know a place on the Net where i can find pics of star trek ships.  i know a place a few years ago called USS Miranda  it had some great pics.  One in particular was a Defiant variant called Stinger i think.  It had a black hull and i think it was smaller in length,  and a little taller in height. Thanks in advance.

Awesome... so do you think will readsizing the textures clear the bugs?

 We have been working hard 

LOL that was just simple texture editing i was talking about. Lets not even go into the scripting nightmare we dove into. If Ironclad wrote Sins in lua like HW2 we would all be screwed!.

I already fixed all textures in my build of the mod. The ships affected by the odd sized textures are the B'rel, Akira, D-11 Onewing, and the Cardassian Kimal. The rest of the ships are within the required specs. Just resize the texture width to 1024 (512 in the Kimals case). Leave the height alone. After resize you shouldnt get the "Texture Missmatch" error in dev.exe. Also make sure you re-save ALL .dds textures you edit in DTX5 ARGB format (including the normal maps). Blammo! You are done.

Ships dissapearing in warp bug should be as simple as copying the info from the 0.03c HyperspaceTravel.particle info into the entrenchment 0.03e version of the mod. I will do that with my version and let you know what text to edit.

Ships Specific Debris textures shouldnt have an alpha channel at all in the -cl textures (nor should any ship/structure have them). Alpha in the -cl texture is Team Color. SoA2 doesn't use team colors. Copy and paste the specular maps you have in the -cl texture into the -da textures RED channel of the respective model. The FILL the alpha of the -cl texture all Black. This will remove the alpha map when you re-save it. Deleting the Alpha channel will force the texture to be saved with a White alpha channel. Filling it black will remove it completely.

I am posting this info here because my internet is unreliable, and boots me every 5 minutes.
