Anothe BugZilla bug: If you finish the game like I did, after the Chmmr sends you back to Starbase, the game crashes.


Now that's not finishing the game then, is it?  My guess is that the problem is that the STARBASE_AVAILABLE gamestate is not set, so a commander conversation gets loaded instead of the a starbase conversation.  Perhaps the crash could be avoided by adding       SET_GAME_STATE (STARBASE_AVAILBLE, 1); to thenExitConversation function in comm/chmmr/chmmr.c.

However, then the commander will act like he knows you.  I haven't seen the ending for a while.  Maybe the Chmmr tell the commander all about you and give him the radioactives and what not. Who knows how many flags wouldn't be set. I would guess that NEW_ALLIANCE_NAME might need to be set, probably others too.  Anyway, I've spent way too much time on this, so I'd better get back to studying for midterms and trying to finish writting my gameboy advance game.

Ofcourse it will be a bug and the commandor won't act like he should! Who though people will try beating the game like it? Look, 13 years have passed and no one did up until this day! And I beat the game first Smiley I posted it first.

Edit: about 24 hours.

You do not beat the game first! - Yes, you were able to post it first  Smiley
I beat it a DAY BEFORE your post - I just wanted to get the shofixti maidens.

Well, and I beat it in 24 hours, you in few months!

And by the way, remember Izik Newton and the other dude story?(sorry if I didn't write his name correctly) They both did the same research, but who do we remember and give credit to? The one who published it first!

DJ - You really should have that smilie pointed at yourself. Speaking "Blah - Blah ing" I recall you accused me of cheating twice! -  And then your assumptions were unfounded. I think that smilie was uncalled for considering that fact and the fact that you bragged that you could do it in one day!                                                                                      

Anyhow, you can get credit for beating the game without the starbase (In a suprisingly short time).

Isaac Newton and Leibniz both discovered calculus.

Newton also discovered the laws of motion.

However, neither of them published particularly quickly.

As a result, when they did, each claimed priority.

In the end, we all use Leibniz' formulation of calculus because it's much easier to use.
But Newton still got the laws of motion and recognition that he independently devised calculus... which should be quite enough for anybody.

Death_999 is correct. And the two of you are overreacting. Behave yourselves, and apply all the fervor to finding a way around the Starbase crash.

 Sorry for over reacting...  Cry Cry Cry
As for the bug, well there is no way around that. You see, when you go to starbase you set off a flag. However when you reach the Chmmr the game Assumes that the flag is already set. hence the game crashes and when it does not (which happened once on my CPU) the captain updates you on all information once you retreive his radioactives and name your alliance. I actually attacked the Sa-matra with a 5 day old alliance. he he  

EDIT: Sorry if I seem touchy, but a close member of my family died so I am a little "on edge" right now.

Once, and that was a mistake because you said you are going for the shofixi task, and you need Warp unit for it and you know the rest.

And like I said, the programmers of the games didn't expect us to beat the game in the way we did.

I never said that I was going to revive the shofixti race! This is what I said:

 "I have just sent my ship to pick up the destruction code (I have the maidens) and then I will see if the same is on my CPU"

Nothing about reviving th shofixti there.

Also you accused me of cheating twice - Once you acused me of using a save game editor. (Using a save game editor is what I call cheating)

Anyhow enough of this quabble.

That's because you said you do it one time with the editor, and then you start to do it for "real". Don't make me quote...

Yeah? so - I never said that was illegal! - You just could not do the save game editor on the one that you are going to turn in as proof.

(DJ I really suggest that you stop arguing otherwise we are going to both find ourselves baned quicker then you can say "nooooo".)

I think arguing about a next to pointless subject which everyone but us to does not care about is consider spamming.  Wink
