For a while it seemed to be snowing more than 50% of the time.

That may just be confirmation bias though.

This is way more fun than the last version I played (was a few months ago).  Being a pirate is way hard.  Is it too much to ask that the pirates kill the swarms of aliens that seem to frequent their bases?

If I maximise I just get a black screen, and I can't seem to minimise it. I'm new to linux tho. Works fine if I start it maximised. I wouldn't know where to look for the answer.

I was going to ask you about that screen statement, whether you intended to have 2 pages or that 2 was something else. Here's how to start maximised if tiles is 1.

if _tiles=0 then
    screen 17
else
    screen 17 , , , 1
'    screen 17 , , , GFX_FULLSCREEN
endif

It's the third parameter that's the flag parameter, not the second. I made that mistake too in a previous post, which you might have based yours on. 1 stands for fullscreen, you can also use GFX_FULLSCREEN when 'using FB'.

Funny... that is exactly what is happening when i tell to it start in fullscreen. maximizing later works fine.

Another bug, space combat prompts seem to take non-Y/n key presses to mean Y, which can be a bad thing!

Has anyone else encountered a

tunnel that when entered and exited causes the entire world to change

?

Also, can you make the scores save to their own folder?

[magellan]

Candlejack:
Was it the latest version? (0.1.6c)? and if no, did you save the game? (there was a bug in saving/loading that might cause this)
that isn't supposed to happen as you might have guessed...

Well, more stuff to look into i guess

[Candlejack]

No, it was one or two versions ago. It appears that things don't drop bodies anymore and your score gets recorded as negative if you die on a planet.

[magellan]

Ooooops .... sorry, fixed that one (the missing bodies) (still 0.1.6c)

Dead redshirts & officers cost you points though, so yes: if you die early and that outweighs the points you made a negative score is possible.

The others will need some looking into... :/

[codezero]

Are you saying you get a black screen when you use that code? And you can't minimise or alt-tab out of it?

[magellan]

yes.
I guess thats me and not the code, huh?

How do I succeed as a pirate? I get shot down when I try to enter a station...

[magellan]

There is honor among thiefs: The stations shoot at you, but the pirates on pirate bases are friendly (You start in a system with a pirate base) ...

[codezero]

Yeah I think it's something to do with your code, don't know what though. My first suspicion is scrptr, though I doubt changing it will fix it. I would change scrptr to a different name anyway though, as I don't think your using it properly there. It's a keyword but you seem to be using it as a var.  Haven't stuffed around with the code myself.

[magellan]

Oh, no thats not what i meant.
Something is wrong with me
this

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

#include "fbgfx.bi"
screen 13,,,1
print "hello world"
sleep

results in a black screen on my system and i guess it shouldn't.
