Star Explorers Testing Branch Updated to Pre-Release Version 0.3.6

Well, once again my self from 5 years ago has outsmarted me. My attempt to allow main menu access has been unsuccessful. It seemed to be going fine, until trying to load a game from a planet, or from a UFO, and the game would crash unexpectedly. I attempted to find the cause, but there were no error messages to learn where to look.



Even when a load was successful, the view screen in the ship stopped working.

After roughly two weeks of vain efforts, I have decided instead to focus on improving other features of the game, and to accept that this issue will not be resolved. I have rolled back the change accordingly. Access to the main menu, after starting a game, will again restart the program. I guess the good news is that this approach works...

All the updates to the star chart remain in place, and should improve ease of navigation.


Testing Branch Updated to 5.0 Pre-Release Version 0.3.5b

The main menu should now allow loading of saved games after dying. Previously this would not work properly.
