End of the month

[dogscoff]

I love the end of the month... first I get paid, then I get to look forward to the next SEIV patch=-)

I've just been looking for the recent post which described what has been fixed this patch, but I couldn't find it. Anyone know where it is?

What Version are we now? 1.36? 1.37? Do we have to hold a big party when we rollover into the next millnium (ie V2.x )

Malfador's site as of 5/17/01:

"...We hope to have it ready within the next couple of weeks."

Which I assume would place us into June.
From the 'new Beta Patch' thread, posted by Will:

Version 1.36:
1. Fixed - Map Editor: Access Violation when you tried to edit a planet after deleting one.
2. Fixed - Map Editor: After saving a planet with a name that does not end in a roman numeral, the next time you tried to add a planet in the same system, you would get a Range Check Error.
3. Fixed - Map Editor: Removed systems names from the combo box that are already in use.
4. Fixed - Occasional driver or VxD errors when using the Resolve Combat feature.
5. Fixed - Compiling a turn from the command line was not working.
6. Fixed - Fighter Groups were getting a cumulative offfense and defense modifier.
7. Fixed - Sometimes fighters would not fire on targets if their first weapon could not target the remaining enemy pieces.
8. Fixed - A target planet in the combat simulator would show the wrong player's population bars.
9. Fixed - Long Messages to other players would get cut off in the Log Window.
10. Fixed - When a new empire is created by rebelling from an old one, the new empire would have all of the log Messages from the
old empire.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL.

I'm just giving dogscoff a snack.

Aaron also said he's hoping to get a patch out rather quickly, "(maybe next week!)".

[Q]

Will thank you very much for your post. Do you know what
"5. Fixed - Allegiance Converters should not work against ships with
Master Computers."
means?

I really don't hope that you can't use anymore allegiance converters on ships where you first destroyed the master computer.
This would ruin an important part of my AI modifications and make the human player much stronger!

[Nitram Draw]

I hope it means that Allegiance Converters will not work until the master computer is destroyed. I think I recall a thread where someone said their ships were being converted while the master computer was functional.

[Matryx]

Ooooo... double (or triple?) negatives...
Did you mean "I hope you can still use allegiance converters on ships where you destroyed the master computer"?

If so.. I agree

As for the eta of the next patch... I just cant wait
