I just booted it up and am going to just blindly jump in.

Or not. Apparently choosing a random ship has frozen the game?

   I have another video up here. I manage to crash the game right at the end when radioing an alien or something. I was using whatever version was last posted here. Once again I am happy with the autosaving the game does as I lost nothing with the crash. The error log was as follows:
0.3 Error #6 in 4096:SPACE_RADIO F:\Prospector\rlprospector\prospector.bas

R138 is really unstable, too many CTDs, i suggest using R132-134 for a regular game

I'm playing Prospector_R132_Win_x86_Fix1 and haven't had a game crash yet, though there are mini menu-crashes in some dialogs.

   Ah but unstable or not this is what I started my game in. Of course once I die I will go and look up the latest and greatest but the game is going really good at the moment. I find with roguelikes even when I have a really good game going I tend to die quick enough anyway though I guess I can show off retiring at the end of todays video so I can update.

My greatest run just ended due to getting stuck on a planet after having my ship forcibly removed from existence or somesuch. Found a powerful disintegrator within a half dozen spaces from where I land on my first planet, followed by a regular one and one of them OP reactive or whatever armors with the, what, 14 or 16 AC? Putz'd around for a good bit, accidentally wiping out a Pirate outpost and getting 10K for it on top of the mass of minerals and such I found. Also, I started out in an 8-planet system, where each one had a full bounty of minerals to gather and turn into solid bank (also, one of the planets was that living tree one, where I picked up a Level 4 Tree Scientist, as well as a suspicious doctor at level 7). The game was devilishly kind to me when I came across an Explorer with nothing but a single living crewman within. And so it was mine.

What isn't mine is the ability to control rocks hurtling through space directly at my only way off of the planet I'm currently exploring.

It's pretty rare, buy distress beacons for such situations.

Speaking of disappearing ships:

Any tips for dealing with Apollo? I agree to serve and he demands sacrifices but he smites me anyway, and with my ship vanished I can't escape. Do I need beacon to survive that? Do I just need enough medics and redshirts to survive his wrath? Need to let some of the away team die?

[Danv]

i think he is bugged, just encountered him now

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i always deal with him one way - tell him to gtfo, destroy his temple, kill him, my ship reappears again, loot artifact from the temple, leave planet
but not now, tried about five times - no ship, so i would suggest just ignoring his planet for now

Known bugs:
Setting some skills is slow
Some of the overlays are bugged during radio fire target select and examine.

Included the correct freetype6.dll file so if you have the other R142 from the forum just grab this and update that dll.


*I think I have nipped the auto explore CTD bug in the butt. The fix will be in the next release.

[Sharp]

Sweet. R142a is less buggy by far

Am annoyed though, had a good run starting, went to space station to dock for fuel but forgot to refuel so ended up dead

Slightly better then run before where only nearby star just only had the pirate world and they don't take kindly to strangers...

[EuchreJack]

I've enjoyed poker (as in, got some decent money), but it's a bit bugged.

A pair of aces lost to a pair of kings.
Selecting to see causes the player to fold.

R143: Nothing fancy just a fix for auto explore CTD
http://fred.neurotica.com/Prospector_R143_Win_X86.zip

Please post if you manage to get a auto explore CTD


Just put a fix in for "0.3 Error #6 in 4096:SPACE_RADIO F:\Prospector\rlprospector\prospector.bas" this should be taken care of in R144

[sebcool]

Holy crap, I just noticed that it was being worked on again. This used to be one of my favourite games before I was hit by the save-corrupting-CTD-bug from the last version I played. You're the best, copperd.

[Sharp]

Dunno if this occurs in R143 but in R142a I dropped a rover on a planet then around 1000 turns later I go back to it, on scanning the game appears to hang but doesn't crash or produce any failure to respond messages, on landing however it takes me on a super fast journey of the rovers movement on the planet for about 1000 turns (of which 950 turns is it just going around as everything is already explored) and then finally it stops and my ship lands and I can go pick it up. So not exactly a bug but perhaps not exactly intended behaviour. Not tested but I'm assuming scanning will do the same thing but only thing is it doesn't follow the rover or update the map so it just appears to be frozen.

EDIT:

Oh yeah, also have a bug with NPC's/monsters appearing off-set, as in tile next to me looks like no-one on it but there is a monster but I see the monster tile like 10 tiles away (in unseen area), off-set also happens when e'x'amining and moving around it makes the icon move although the monster will be in the same place for the description. And also getting some offset when commenting on space map sometimes as well.
