Welcome daedalus! Glad to see you joining the forums!

Just so you know, very few people complete UQM first time through. It's a hard game. You need to know, right off the bat, that you NEED to write down EVERY date and location given to you.

To be fair, this supports it.

Fair enough.

My comment was more trying to reword the statement, I was trying to look and see if there are any "evil" races in the game.

In a way though, every member of the Hierarchy are victims of slavery. Therefore, they might not be the villains that they appear to be at first glance.

Maybe make the letters a little smaller?

I tried it out. Looks good.
Is there a guide to show which letter in hyperspace stands for which race?

Holy shit! There's an internet version of UQM!!!

Alright, just the Mingw .

sure...

Alright. Well, I'm on a different computer at the moment but when I get home, I'll upload my build. You want a file to put the uqm-debug.exe and the Mingw, right?

If you want my most recent version, you can have my Mingw and UQM file.

I wish, but I don't have the know-how to be able to do something like that. I'd end up messing it up for everyone. Perhaps, when I get more familiar with everything. I mean, I could update the DLLs and such, but I'm never sure what else needs updating. Or how to update them.

Why not just create a mingw with all the necessary things, and then an UQM file with all the necessary things and create instructions similair to these:
How to compile UQM on Windows:
1. Download the version of Mingw and Msys which is specific to UQM (including all dlls and linked files)
2. Download this file: UQM (to place the exe in later)
3. Go to Msys, in the file Mingw, then load it.
4. Load the source code file into the Msys prompt:
Cd /c/path to file
5. Type "./build.sh uqm config" press ENTER.
6. Type "./build.sh uqm depend" press ENTER.
7. Type "./build.sh uqm" press ENTER.
8. Once that has finished, go into the source code and take "UQM-Debug.exe" and place it in the UQM
that you downloaded earlier.
9. Play "Uqm-debug.exe".

That way, an inexperienced user, like me, can compile easily, with a lot less hassle.

This is what I set up for myself, so that I can remember how to do it (plus the first two steps added now)

Oh yes!! It worked. Thanks for all your help.
So, in the future, if I want to recompile, I should just delete the current uqm-debug.exe and replace it with the new one?

Just the standard source code off of the website.
