Star Explorers Testing Branch Updated to Pre-Release Version 0.3.3

[h3]UPDATE:[/h3]
I somehow missed a new image file upload, so the game would not start. Should be good now...

[h3]Fixed[/h3]
  • Introducing Pause had some unforeseen effects
  • Save game did not work properly anymore, this should be fine now
  • Not sure when it happened, but a certain particle effect in Standard Stars caused a major FPS drop. That effect has been removed
  • Approaching the mothership caused an error after the Star Chart updates, this should work fine now
  • The engine freezes right when you start a new game. It only lasts a few seconds, but would be strange for new players. I changed the loading panel so it stays up until after this freeze, and it also alerts players to wait until it resumes
  • I have not uncovered the actual cause of the freeze just yet, but this should help until when/if I am able to resolve it


[h3]Interactive Guide[/h3]
  • The guide had some major issues, especially after updating the star chart
  • Pressing escape will now close the guide, it used to remain visible over the game menu
  • Star chart will no longer be accessible until the guide directs players to open it
  • Mothership docking is disabled until guide directs players to warp to a different star system
  • "Next" button has been removed from the guide panel when it calls on players to perform some action to avoid confusion
