FreeOrion

Thank you for all the help, everyone! I'm still having issues, but the problem is definitely my end now. The version of Linux Mint I am running is based on Ubuntu's Raring Ringtail, which is decidedly out of date. I've been procrastinating upgrading so this is likely going to push me into finally ge...

Well, I guess I'll just have to wait until I can compile it. I got stymied by dependency hell. Package freeorion-data has a dependency on fonts-dejavu-core, which conflicts with an already installed package. Output of "apt-get check" after the install of fonts-dejavu-core failed: Reading p...

It looks like Apo (Markus) has been keeping up with our 0.4.4 schedule. For RC2 you'd have to go to the "unstable' branch (sid). The debian (sid) freeorion page can be found here . It sounds like you (ASGeek2012) would know better than I how much, if at all, this might facilitate your installa...

my OS ;) So what is 'your OS'? You only stated your kernel so far, but distributions a alot more than the kernel, the libraries and applications installed make it the full OS. FreeOrion relies on those distribution specific libraries so we would need to build on every distribution and every version...

Just a quick question if Linux will still continue to be supported in 0.4.4. I ask because I see no Linux RC builds, only Windows and Mac. Would absolutely love to help you guys work out the final bugs in 0.4.4 since I've really been anticipating this release, but kinda hard to do when there's no v...

It didn't exist as a trait in 6821, it was introduced relatively soon afterwards but we've gone longer between stable releases this time as there's a LOT going on in the backend that needs finishing off (last weeks test release, for example, was horribly unstable and broke several features). As the...

Ah, I had not noticed the cost difference. I've only started now really looking down to that level of detail....So now I use the original cheap design for as long as I can and then redesign it when the AI starts deploying system mines. Look again at the costs of the Small Hull compared to, say, Ast...

Yup, Robotic Hulls do have 4 slots. But Organic Hulls have 3 slots and have a base cost about 1/4 that of Robotic Hulls, you can produce far more of them for the same cost. Rebalancing the costs of the hulls is somethign that we're working on, I'm hoping to get another pass done this week, but unti...

Most of the time, I can't even find a habitable world within a reasonable distance of my home world. Try finding a planet inhabited with a native species. The type of natives will be shown as an icon with the planet's production. Right-click on the icon and look them up in the pedia. If they are go...

Thanks again for the advice. It looks like I've been doing a few things right. I am taking advantage of the game mechanic where when you build a colony ship at a planet inhabited by another race, the ship is populated with natives of that planet. So when I'm fortunate enough to find a race that is g...

There is a basic level diplomacy, that doesn't do a huge amount, right click on an AI in the "Empires" window and propose peace, there's a random chance that the AI will agree to not attack you, and that then, currently, lasts until you declare war on them again. Also, if the random chanc...

- it's way too hard for beginners Agree completely, the learning curve is massively steep and something that needs some work on. However, and I say this as just another player who's been playing on and off for a few years but only got actively involved recently, part of that is the game isn't ready...

Hey, thanks for the detailed reply, Dilvish, I appreciate it. Yeah, I actually started grep'ing through the config files and started to trace back where the heck those kraken came from and I just might see about delaying them or toning them down. I've already modified one of the files to nerf the ps...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has the problem of being unable to beat the game. I also found that the monster density is still too high even on "low" when playing on spiral galaxies. I don't want to turn it off completely as I enjoy the challenge of having to keep on top of things mil...
