There should be some highlight for planets with your troops on them, so you dont forget damn first company on other end of galaxy.

Does the game tell you if your marines dakka dakka at something, but nothing happens? (Armor deflects all shots or the like.) I can't help but wonder if that was the case with those kaoz termites.

If the gun says 'Armor Piercing'. Assume it works against termies.
If the gun doesn't say 'Armor Piercing', assume it doesn't... or, as well..

That being said, codeguy might answer the question better than I.

Hey all, software dev here, so I've only vaguely kept an eye on Chapter Master the last few months and re-read the 1d4chan page yesterday. With Duke gone, I'm led to believe the project's been taken up by someone else on here which seems to be correct.

With it being released as open source, is the current iteration being worked on in any kind of central repository or privately on new coder's computer? I could potentially chip in during my free time if it's publicly available.

Cheers,
Flow

Do combiflamers work as flamers?

It's a boltgun with a one-charge prometheum fuel cell.

The code for armor piercing and a majority of weapon modifiers was completely broken. So nothing. Should be fixed now.

Well...
Sexy.
When're you releasing your next patch?

[kayosetsu]

Any way I can help out with this Journier? Admittedly I don't know very much about programming but I'm working on Chapter Master as a way to learn my own way. But since the code appears to be a big mess of what-the-%&$# I'm having trouble understanding much of it. I have fixed a couple of bugs on my own though (Tried working on the renegade crash bug but at this point I'm stumped). Basically I want to assist with bug fixing.

Since you're working on cleaning up the code I'm hoping that it'll make fixing bugs much less painful for me.

Yeah, are we going to set up a repo? What language is CM written in anyway?

[Rolan7]

It's Gamemaker, and I do really hope someone sets up a repo.  I would, but I'm really bad at git, so even if I tried it'd probably be a mess...  I know enough to contribute though.

So, i lost a Captain, how do i promote a guy to be another captain? Is this possible???

I think that you need a very high-XP veteran, usually from First Company

[Retropunch]

Yeah, if you repo it I'll help out where I can too. Having a few eyes on it and a focus on bugfixing and clean-up should get it whipped into shape in no time.

[Sheb]

Does that mean you need to buy this Gamemaker software to work on CM?

You should be able to do most of it with free - you'll definitely be able to work with it, but depending on the functions Duke used it might be that it won't fully compile. However, it's pretty obvious/easy to comment out the 'pro code'.
It'd be good to get a confirmation on this though!
