I can't seem to even play the game in this version. On the start up menu thing, the arrow keys won't move the choice down to Super Melee or anything.


The keyboard code has completely changed.

You need to get: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sc2/sc2/content/starcon.key?rev=HEAD

(and probably other things from the content dir too)

Aside from the commndr one, I can't seem to download any of the /comm content.

Everything else worked though, and I agree, the new planets are nice. Smiley

That is because I don't proof-read my submissions. I have fixed the links in my original post, so they should work now.

I spotted a bug in this version.
I was attacking the Sa-matra with a Shofixti when it was bounced towards the forcefield. Seeing that destruction was unavoidable, I blew up the Scout instead. Imagine my surprise when the focefield disappeared with the blast! I was tempted to enter with my flagship but decided to disarm the Sa-matra first. When I finally brought my flagship in, it bounced off the opening, making it impossible to finish the game!
I've run this fight several times on this version before and since, I have never downed the barrier without taking out the generators before. It looks like it happened only because my Scout was very close (almost touching) the barrier before it destructed. You should look into this if possible.

One rather serious bug in this version.
It seems that the game could halt when you are scrolling through your savegame slots. It seems to be random. I've had it happen to me when saving or loading. All I did was use the arrow keys to move through the slots then the game just halted, and the only key still functional was F12!

How do you do the "OHH DEAR IT IS TIME FOR ME TO ESCAPE FROM COMBAT" maneuver thingy with this version? Numpad Plus and Space don't seem to do the trick anymore?

You can define it yourself via the "starcon.key" file but I believe it's Space + Enter now by default.

Oh, and it's no longer ` or ~ to exit, it's now F12.  Enjoy.

No. It's space and the right Shift key. Also, the left and right Shift keys let you zoom out and in on the starmap. The numpad is no longer used in the game.

I found another bug. Performing a single scan for minerals/biological data/energy sources results in coloring the planet's resources window and not restoring its original color in the end. Auto scan works perfectly, though.

hey PhracturedBlue/sun

as of Jan 22, there seem to have been some failry substantive updates that those of us without CVS access aren't enjoying yet.  Any chance we could get another unofficial build out of you nice folks?  Thanks!

I am waiting to make sure the code is reasonably stable.  we did some pretty significant mods (the grafx drawing thread has had a major overhaul in the past week).  Everything seems pretty good now, so I'll probably do another one soon.  I will need to build a content update patch too, so it takes some time, and I am very busy at the moment.
Also, there are one or two cool features which may be done soon, that would be nice to roll in too.

I would say, there is a good chance you'll get a new snapshot by the weekend, and perhaps sooner.

By the way, this is a feature, and not a bug.  I don't know what the 3do did, so I just leave the scan color as is.  If someone will tell me what 3do did for single-scan, I will implement that.  The PC side will eventually work right, whenever I get around to adding the extra menus for it.
