Rodney: Why don't you like the actual one? He has got a new icon.
Alpha channel: ????
Apollo: I'think thats right; you control the ship and not it's commander.

Well the icon for Rodney is showing up as Rodney's head in a white box, which indicates that the alpha channel isn't working like all of the others.

As for the Apollo, the problem with that is that for others, say the Prometheus hero, it IS listed as Colonel Pendergast. So by just calling it 'Apollo', there's an uneven naming system. None of the other ships (that I recall) are named in such a way.

Which GC?

Um Stargate Universe I think it's called.

I think that doesn't work...(don't ask me, I don't know...)

It can, it just requires some fiddling in the code. I'd be happy to show you if you wanted.

Do you mean, it's a text problem? If yes, I'm going to look at it.

More or less. Basically just that what the text says isn't physically possible

MerlinGalgotta wrote: ust to remind you, what this patch is allowed to change. It shall MAINLY fix the bugs and fix some balancing issues. Some minor things like text changes too.
But please do NOT start to change gameplay-related things like the F-302 for ground and space or add new textures, icons (except one is missing), sounds and so on.

Fair enough Merlin, just thought I'd add my $0.02 in for a few suggestions as well


EDIT: The other planet is P6G462. The land map is coded in as '_LAND_PLANET_KSTE_URBAN2_02.ted' but the map itself is called '_LAND_PLANET_KUSTE_URBAN2_02.ted' (with two dots over the U)

Oh also you have issues with the coding whereby with the hero advanced 304's (ie Odyssey, Apollo etc with beam weapons) the Asgard laser hardpoints don't show up. This is because the extra railguns haven't been removed.

Great work fixing all bugs Baal! really appreciated

You felt the need to quote that...why exactly? I do have eyes, and had you bothered to check I'd already responded to Merlin's post.

actually, i saw that before i posted. Just wanted to clearify ^^

Baal wrote: About the GC: How did you get the Korelev and Freyr

It's way too many units no one knows how to get??

They just appeared, being automatically unlocked as I increased my tech level. The Korelev was somewhere around tech 2 I think, Freyr appeared about tech 4 or 5.

Played all of them and never got the korolev... But had Freyr, but dunno when. Could be on K'Tau if it follows Sg-1

So, i'm guessing this patch is kind of buggy?


Just wondering when it's safe to use it for non-testing purposes (im not reading 11 pages either)
