If this were an android phorum, someone from the iFandom would lurk, shout "fragmentation!!" and leave the thread in rage fury.

I'm cheering for you guys to get it right, but also at awe to the work ahead. Hoping for the best.

[Nuke]

the fact that this thread still doesnt have a single bug posted is a good sign.

[SypheDMar]

That may be, but I bet that there aren't enough players testing this build to report the bugs either. That seems to happen a lot even before 3.6.14, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different in that regards. People either download cutting edge builds or download official releases.

[Yarn]

While it's probably not a showstopper, I think it's worth investigating Mantis 2643.

[Goober5000]

Thanks for the helpful test mission.   Bug fixed and ported to the 3.6.14 branch.

While it's probably not a showstopper, I think it's worth investigating Mantis 2643.

And here I was, thinking for the longest of times that it was just me doing something wrong with those icons.

[Droid803]

Oh that one...it's been around for ages.
Its rather benign, though.

How could that be? They're generated by the engine XD

[headdie]

it's one of those I always assumed someone else have reported it

[Nuke]

are those still those ugly blockey things or did they come up with a better procedural algorithm for generating them yet? could probibly just use the corners of the model's bbox and the radius to generate a spline and use that to generate the quadrants (generate vector spline, copy and scale it to create two sets of points, use points to generate a tri strip, map tristrip with procedurally generated gradient texture, puke it out to gl when rendering the icon). not as good as a bitmap but better than a box.

I was thinking that made I did *something* (whatever it could be) wrong with setting up the shields. Or that maybe it was a quirk in the max exporter or something!

Sounds you have some good ideas, nuke. Looking forward to your implementation of this!

3.6.12 was released with some bugs that could have been qualified as serious regressions, this time I guess we were being pickier about not having that be a problem.

[SypheDMar]

I think that's a good thing to consider, but it should've been implemented better.

Before anyone (read me) flys off the handle for what that remark seems to imply. Restate your statement using nouns, not pronouns.

i would, if it were a feature i was even remotely interested in using. id just solve the problem by spending 5 minutes in photoshop.

[chief1983]

Linux builds and source export are up.

I apologize for my lack of nouns, and I don't mean to offend anyone.

I meant to say that the idea was good and thoughtful, but it would be nice to have had it out sooner so that we didn't have to wait for over a year for the release build to come out.

[HAZARDLEADER]

I would like to post something I found, apparently when fighters and cap ships go into there wormholes while warping out, they don't go into it, they go thru it. The screenie will show what I am saying.  I'm not sure if this is a bug, or something to do with my video card. Maybe its just the fact that my computer is 7 years old.
I tried the debug app, but it crashed on startup. I'm providing the debug log anyway.

I am pretty certain this has cropped up from time to time due to varying reasons, what is your PC spec?
