5.0.6 Update
UPDATE: I re-uploaded the game with some slight changes. I had accidentally left on certain warning messages in the last build. I also was able to correct the missing textures from the alien landing craft. I suppose it could have waited till tomorrow ... but it just took a couple minutes.
5.0.6 Update - Many small changes were made based on player feedback. Just for the record, I do not integrate all player feedback into the game. But if it's an idea I agree with, and it's not too difficult to do, I will sometimes implement it right away.
Since the 5.0 release, I have been getting a ton of great feedback. However, I can only do so much in a given day. If you don't see your ideas showing up, don't hesitate to remind me. I try to keep track of everything, but it's not always easy. I am thinking of making some kind of document where people can put their feedback, and maybe vote to rank things higher or lower priority. I do not have a ton of experience in this sort of thing though, so any ideas are welcome.
For this update, here's what's changed:
[h3]About Rebinding Controls[/h3]
The game's options menu has a Controls menu where you can rebind keys. However, the HUD toggle and crouch features were added later, and did not fit on this menu. If you want to rebind those keys, you can still do it though.
In order to do so, first you will need to rebind any key via the in-game Controls menu.
Then, go to "C:\Users\-your username-\AppData\Local\Star_Explorers" and find the "controls_5.cfg" file.
Open that file and type in your key of choice after the last two entries:
crouch,ctrl, (replace ctrl with your key of choice)
toggle HUD,F11, (replace F11 with your key of choice)
Please be careful not to delete any commas. Use the following codes for keys...
"a" - "z", "0" - "9", "f1" - "f12", "bksp", "enter", "esc", "alt", "ctrl". "shiftl", "shiftr", "space", "tab", "cuu", "cud", "cur", "cul", "pgup", "pgdn", "home", "end", "ins", "del", "car", "cal", "slash", "equals", "period", "comma", "brackl", "brackr", "semic", "bksl", "apos", "minusc", "grave", "apo", "minus", "plus", "sz", "ae", "ue", "oe", "scrlk", "pause", "caps".
I have not tested every possible key or how they all function - I don't even think my keyboard has a lot of these options ... grave?. If you encounter errors, it may be a good idea to just delete the "controls_5.cfg" and start over.

For this update, here's what's changed:
- Fixed the stretched star background in mothership
- Added Muzzle Flash for player and enemy guns
- Fixed innacurate temperatures on some planets
- Reduced oxygen usage slightly - to match the updated walk/run speed - I did also reduce the amount used when running a bit compared to the last version. I thought I had made it approximately 2.5x higher than walking, but it was actually 3x higher by accident. Now it is closer to 2.5x as I intended.
- Increased physical and environmental damage when suit condition = 0 - this may alter gameplay quite a bit. It was possible to run around for quite a long time in extreme conditions before.
- Added option to rebind crouch and Hud toggle - "controls_5.cfg"
