Dumb question: is there somewhere i could have read the mechanics? I looked moderately hard, and didn't find it, but maybe it is in one of the places i haven't looked yet? Thanks again. Jon I suppose the snarky answer would be "in the code". Honestly, swaq and i were chatting the other da...

Hi all. I am currently running 0.4.8 build 2019-10-08. I'm trying to give a planet and a ship to an ally, and cannot figure out how. I have tried right and left clicking on everything i can think which might make sense, and a bunch which don't make sense: Planets, ships, empire names, pedia entries...

I'll give it a day or two to see if there are any objections to this approach, then i'll go ahead with it.

Done: https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/pull/2596

Everything looked okay after a skim through Pedia/Hulls in game and adding a fuel tank to a smattering of hulls in the Shipyard.

I can do that, if you like.

I can't seem to find where the hull->Speed(), hull->Fuel(), etc stuff is coming from in the code. What do you mean by "stuff" and "coming from in the code"? I can find a lot of places hull_type->Fuel() gets used (where hull_type is a const HullType*) but when i search for HullTy...

Disclaimer: I'm out of my depth here, so what i have to say may not be very helpful. Looks to me like HandleAppQuitting is bound to WindowClosingSignal (fired by SDL_WINDOWEVENT_CLOSE) and also to AppQuittingSignal (fired by SDL_QUIT). [SDL = Simple DirectMedia Layer] SDL is cross-platform, so when ...

The FOCS effects could probably be modified to self-correct for the hull's inherent fuel capacity by subtracting the hull's own fuel before multiplying and then re-adding the hull's own fuel after the scaling effect... Something like effects = SetMaxFuel value = (Value - HullFuel name = ThisHull) *...

Has anyone given any more thought to how to document this feature in the pedia for ship hulls? (https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/issues/2541) It looks like the hull information is currently provided via /UI/EncyclopediaDetailPanel.cpp: https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/blob/979cf496f5b496...

3. stealth still isn't quite sorted. There seems to have a been a change to the first strike advantage - I found that even when my opponent could not detect my ships for the first round, he could still shoot them. This seems like a slight over-nerf of stealth Could this be related to the bug here (...

I am also experimenting with the multiplayer server. I ran 'freeoriond --hostless' and could connect to it with multiple client windows and start a game. But if one of the clients leaves it kicks the others out of the game too. I just tried to start a server process and haven't gotten it working, b...

Consider a board game analogy - you don't discard cards down to your hand's size between turns, but at the end of your turn . I suppose this depends on the board game, and ultimately just upon semantics. In my mind, it just makes more sense to break things down as Input is occuring while the turn i...

That's the mismatch, you see. There are two interpretations of "turn": I think the mismatch comes from the client concept of turn (you press next turn and then you get a new result) and the technical concept of turn (the moment turn increase happens). I think it's reasonable that sitreps ...

If you move out of supply on turn 13 and the upgrade happens afterwards, they will simply not be upgraded. Isn't that exactly what happens in my example, though? Or am i not understanding you? I think the mismatch comes from the client concept of turn (you press next turn and then you get a new res...

Maybe i'm missing something, but here's why i think it matters. Consider my example from the first post: Turn 12: MD2 researched Turn 13: Fleet departs (display still reads MD1) Between 13 and 14: Fleet's weapons are upgraded, fleet moves, leaving supply If "between turns" didn't matter th...

So I had a look at it. And actually it is not as bad. As i wrote, effect application happens after combat; in effect the values shown for the weapons are always the ones which will be used in the next combat. Anyway I think it would be good to write an informational message on the (first) turn the ...
