Re: v0.4.7+ build 2017-08-03.595b29f

Are those logs from today? The dates in the ones that I looked at are 2016-04-13. Odd, should have been today. Logs are dated today, attaching the most recent set to this one (should be the same as the last set I posted). When you are quitting freeorion are you making sure to kill any hung processe...

Re: v0.4.7+ build 2017-08-03.595b29f

Hmmm, from those log files, it looks sort of like perhaps you started up the game, tabbed back to the console to see the console error messages, then tabbed back to FO and told it to quit? (At least, it shows that FO lost focus, and then regained it, right before the human client had a seemingly cl...

Re: v0.4.7+ build 2017-08-03.595b29f

Just to double check, you are looking in the new-ish location for logs ? Errr, oops nope hadn't had to pull up a log in awhile, do remember it changing once upon a time though. Those are optional, for style checking and automatic documentation generation, they don't affect the actual executables. W...

Re: v0.4.7+ build 2017-08-03.595b29f

If you don't get any log files, there's something else going wrong. Maybe check what user owns the binaries and what the write permissions are for directories where logs should be created? My user as usual and writeable. Just tried running as root to see, still no log files. If you build older vers...

Re: v0.4.7+ build 2017-08-03.595b29f

What does that mean specifically? What happens when you try to start a game? Are logs generated in this case? If so, post them. Also try disabling autosaves, or enabling binary save files. I try either Single Player (after putting in settings) or Quickstart and I get a black screen, the error comes...

Was gone for a bit, just got back to this. With a new build, almost the same: As noted above, this appears to be a problem with Jack. A quick search on your error messages comes up with this potential fix using some Jack setup utility , perhaps that will work for you also. Thanks, hadn't gotten to ...

Re: Fuel parts auto upgrade

Having refinements for the existing shields (or even just stuff like "immune to molecular clouds") would be fine but the current number range for damage/structure/shield doesn't work with that. Nothing to say we need to keep the current numbers though, you could double every stat in the g...

Re: Fuel parts auto upgrade

However, maybe it's an idea worth considering if there are more parts than just the weapons where we could redesign the tech tree to have them progress through different types with refinements like the weapons do (e.g. the stealth parts)? Maybe shields could work like weapons as well. Deflector I, ...

Re: A modest proposal regarding the sentient hull

Perhaps the organic flagship could give a boost to bio weapons mounted on ships in the fleet? (Of course now we need some sort of bio weapon to mount on ships...).

Re: Serious balance issues and suggestions summed up

Regarding the increasing upkeep linear to raw number of ships and the corresponding handicap that it puts on small ship fleets (that otherwise could be a good counter against solar behemoths), has anyone suggested to make upkeep linear to total structure of owned ships? That would help balance thin...

Might be that just applies to the original OS/2 version.
