Another Small Update to 2.7
I should probably add a letter or something to the end to highlight these smaller updates, but anyway...
I found another exploit in the star chart script which could cause problems. I have fixed that. However in the process, I found yet another bug.
If you are in the star chart, and have selected a sector, then you click out of the star chart, to the mission command, then you click back into the star chart, and without selecting any sectors, you click on "stars" then the chart will go crazy . It fixes itself if you go back to "sectors" and click on a sector, but it's still a bit of a mess. I will look at fixing this in the next update.
The game was designed to run at 1280 x 720. If a player tries to star the game on a monitor that is smaller than this, it will open a strange window with only a part of the splash screen and/or main menu visible.
In this latest version, I added a script that detects the current monitor resolution, and will adjust the game window to match if it is lower than 1280 x 720.
I would add a similar script for larger resolutions, but the game does not always display things correctly at larger screen sizes, so I still strongly recommend playing at 1280 x 720.
Anyway, hopefully new players with smaller monitors will be able to at least start the game.
For version 3.0, I will finally try to resolve this issue, and make sure the game can run at any resolution without the problems it currently encounters.
