Hello! Thanks for reporting! The issue is fixed, it was a small mistype in the script... fix will be available with the next game build.
Regards!

Yes, it's possible, the API method "PlaySound" available in the "game" scope http://wiki.atomictorch.com/VoidExpanse/scope-game

Hello!
Thank you for reporting. We've received the client and server log files.
Some critical improvements was implemented in the v0.16.0 to fight this issue. Also the game will display message if connection with the game server was dropped - useful for multiplayer, but of course this should not happen in the singleplayer mode. So, if this happens again in the singleplayer, please send us fresh (with the same day file date) logs of server and client.
Regards!

Question, how does it work for quest objectives? are they shared too?

The quests objectives not shared and works as before.
Regards!

Hello!
The header.xml must be placed in the root of the mod zip file. So, the correct structure of the mod zip file :

Code Select Expand


root
-->  header.xml
-->  content/
-->  data/

We will improve our wiki in this aspect.
Regards!

Update is available now!
About the multiplayer party feature:
1. point mouse cursor on other player ship and press the "F" key to invite him/her into the your party (or to create a new party);
2. the party can contains up to 4 players;
3. experience is divided equally with players who was in the same star system and online when experience earned;
3. the party chat prefix is the # symbol.

We added weapon slot turret scaling as FlessenGreendart asked.
We're using it the new hull_stingray_mk2:

Code Select Expand


<weapon_slot>
<id>1</id>
<slot_type>3</slot_type>
<slot_size>2</slot_size>
<display_type>1</display_type>
<direction>0</direction>
<rotation_angle>360</rotation_angle>
<rotation_speed>50</rotation_speed>
<position>-0.489;0.0;-0.287</position>
<scale>1.5</scale>
</weapon_slot>

The <scale> element is optional. It also increases muzzle flash size.

Still can't reproduce this issue on our internal last game build. Maybe the issues has been fixed. So if this issue happens in the next version, please send us a logs to analyze it: we added more logging for devices, so it will be easier to understand why the device get locked "on".

The muzzle flashes and ray weapons fire origin should work ok with flipped turrets, no need to manually invert values in that case.
If you noticed, we improved how projectiles (bullet sprites & 3d-models like missiles) spawning in the latest release - they're offsetted by Z-axis when spawned, and then Z smoothly decreasing to the zero value. A little bit tricky, but the result is worth it - no more projectiles flying through the hull! You can test it with a  slow projectiles to see how it works now. So I'm sure it will work correctly with the non-flipped turrets, but for the flipped turrets projectiles may be spawned as turret is non-flipped - we didn't tested that case. Would be glad if you try it and let us know how it works for you!
Regards!

Try console command "debug_gc" in server console please - what it will print?
The high CPU usage will be solved with the next release. Hope we can decrease the memory usage also.

They're optional, you can add <scale> and <offset> tags in turret GFX description where you need them.
About scaling of the weapon slot on the hull - it's a good idea, we can implement it when we finish other tasks.
Regards!

Sure, we will add an option for that.
Regards!

kyokei, currently nothing, unfortunately, as it is broken in the last build. It is supposed to isolate server from the user Documents folder - and use/store all data in the server folder (I mean Core and Mods folders, ServerSettings.xml and ModsConfig.xml, also whitelist/oplist files).
If you run a server without it, it will work the same way as the singleplayer server. It's easier to validate user mods that way (just launch the server and print "check").

I see... yes, is not so turbo, as some optimizations may involve instability. We will implement them in the next build after further testing.
About memory usage - it seems to be too high. Normally it should be around 200 Mb if you create a new world or ~170Mb if you load a savegame. What version of Linux do you have?

The issue is fixed in v0.15.3.
