new patch ?

Unprecedented tech. support by MM spoiled me. The prospect of a new patch with some exiting new features always gave at least something bright and shiny to look forward in my life

Do we hit the end of the road ? There are no new patch requests or bugs reports lately. Did SEIV reached perfection and alas, stagnation ?

Huh? The 1.67 patch to SEIVAu has only been
out for three weeks.

oleg · #3 May 2nd, 2002, 04:11 PM

Exactly ! See what I mean ? 3 weeks and still nobody requests new patch. Arghhh.

BTW, are fate shrine fully opperational as promised in 1.67 ?

Currently I'm testing the patch 1.69.
I have not here the updates, but are only bug fixes and changes to fix possible game abuses that currently the players can do.

Stagnation? There are dozens of requested features waiting for the bug fixes to get done. It'll be time to move on to SE V before we reach 'stagnation' in SE IV.

Could someone please post the history file with Version 1.69?

Master Belisarius · #7 May 3rd, 2002, 04:08 AM

Here are:

Version 1.69:
1. Fixed - The Massive Ship Mount stated that you needed a ship size of
1100kT but it should actually be 1200kT.
2. Fixed - Rare Integer Overflow in combat when a planet was attacked.
3. Fixed - There was a way to bypass the Next Player Password dialog.
4. Changed - A ship cannot be retrofitted from a design which does not
have a Spaceyard to one that does.
5. Changed - A ship cannot be retrofitted from a design which does not
have a Colony Module to one that does.
6. Fixed - Range Check Error when a luck trait tried to prevent a star
from exploding.
7. Fixed - Set Players To Computer Control window was setting all ministers
off even for human players.

Version 1.68:
1. Fixed - Fighters no longer share their supplies with other ships.
They will not pool their resources when in a fleet.
2. Fixed - Newly launched fighters in a turn-based game will have no
movement. The next turn after they are launched, they will
receive full movement.
3. Fixed - AI was not reacting with anger when a planet or system was
destroyed.
4. Changed - Increased the number of formation positions from 30 to 100.
5. Fixed - AI was still not always closing to optimum distance for
launching seekers against planets.
6. Fixed - Seeker hit on a planet would sometimes not show an explosion
even if damage was done.
7. Fixed - AI was not always moving on the first turn of Tactical Combat
if it was the first player.
8. Fixed - Planet hit points would not always accurately portray damaged
units on the planet as well.
