Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Rewired executioner stays red
« on: December 29, 2016, 02:22:08 PM »
I saw every rewired bot to turn bright cyan in ASCII mode. Executioners do not for some reason. Their red color is cool and appropriate but makes telling them apart from hostile Executioners harder.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Interacting with machines remotely by flying over a line of bots
« on: December 26, 2016, 10:38:01 PM »
Trying to fly over a bunch of robots behind whose the first square without a robot is an interactive machine will actually start the interaction. This is a feature, right? 
I believe you just fly there, insert a jack on a long cable and fly back where you originally were. Cogmind works by data transfer alone so there is no need to actually be adjacent to the terminal to read its output. Oh, and the best part is when you operate Scanalyzers that way. The Unaware (or Assembled, as it may hapeen) form a line, passing any parts you wish to insert along the chain. Fun thing happens when your stuff gets damaged in the process. The robot closest to machine exclaims "oh, crap!" but the closest to you meekly emits "we're really sorry" as they pass the nonfunctional part back to you.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Zion dialogue 32 does not add Scanalyzer hack to knowledge pool
« on: December 24, 2016, 08:00:19 PM »
Lore entries are supposed to automatically add known new hacks to autocomplete pool at machines. Found that here:
http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=614.msg5180#msg5180
Unfortunately the one from Zion dialogue 32 does not, at least for Scanalyzer. Did not check the Fabricator one yet.
Low impact because one can look this lore piece up and later type it by hand.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / [beta 7.2] 'Matter reserves' is cut off in Recycling Unit message
« on: December 24, 2016, 07:54:42 PM »
Have scavengers load a Recycling Unit full of junk and have it list inventory of process it. If there is more items than one results page can hold two things happen.
First, results window is immediately scrolled to the bottom of the list. This causes an apparent pause where nothing happens but I believe game is delaying for animating parts outside viewport. Then the names of parts in visible area get animated. Could we get some progressive scrolling here or at least no delay for text outside view area?
Second, often the initial line is written again but without first character. I got " atter reserves" and " nalyzing inventory". You can find screenshots attached.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Scavengers using disabled Recycling Units

Dear Administrator, we would like to express our great dissatisfaction with R-07 Scavenger class robots putting our hard earned loot into already disabled Recycling Units. This happens when any part of the machine is destroyed (in particular, can be every part) but the central "Y" is left intact. The scavengers who were already on their way to empty inventory while the machine war being vandalized continue to approach it and proceed to merrily insert the parts carried as witnessed in the log. Everything happens despite the respective machine is no longer functional. Please kindly disallow this outrageous behavior.
We motivate our request by noting the unsportsmanlike and ungentlemanlike qualities of such acts. Normally, when Recycling Unit is operative a Derelict has at least a possibility to obtain the part back by hacking the machine to eject it. Furthermore serving any parts from own inventory requires the machine to be operational. The Scavengers are clearly breaking both rules.
We remain ever hopeful of the issue being resolved.
With best regards

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / How to go around with unknown item equipped
« on: December 23, 2016, 10:13:17 PM »
Turns out Repair Station's refit merely announces what it is strapping onto you, it does not identify it. If database loss hit exactly that record you will know you have Backup Laser I mounted (notification in hacking window is explicit) but game will treat it as Unkown Weapon until you remove it and reattach.

Ideas / Data upload capability
« on: December 21, 2016, 09:13:27 AM »
I would like to be able to upload known part and robot schematics to Talas' terminals. Same for Unaware class analysis data. He is really generous so why not repay some of that kindness right there on the spot? If you are worried this would be option only taken by role players offer a single bonus score point for each piece of data uploaded. Maybe reduce bonus for meeting Talas for balance.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Score file: labels of orders given to allies is shifted
« on: December 19, 2016, 10:37:42 PM »
Looks like this was caused by removal of build order in Alpha 12. Every type of order beginnig from AID gets reported as something else. For example EXPLORE is logged as COLLECT.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / World map gets stuck if opened from Wastes
« on: December 19, 2016, 10:31:33 PM »
Seems Wastes is a bit special in this regard. While there world map refused to react to cursor keys. The situation persisted for whole factory floor but seemed to right itself as soon as I changed location. Hmm, must try this in garrison next time.
