Downloaded the game Hellcat PM'ed me to.... wiped out my saved games, no biggie, maybe good that I had to start over, or maybe I wouldn't have found.....

1. Bought a cargo expansion for my Tarsus, but the cargo space didn't expand. It took my money, showed it as installed, cargo space still 100. And it didn't charge me the 9,000+ price. I didn't pull out the calculator, but it was 4-5,000. Which would be a good deal if it worked.

2. No Mercenaries Guild at Achillies. Since when? Achillies has ALWAYS had everything.

3. Roman Lynch at Basque??? I haven't even been to see Sandoval yet. The RF text was there, but no audio. This next one may have something to do with my lack of funds, but the Accept/decline buttons didn't appear after the text stopped running.

4. I liked the Vegastrike HUD better, the armor and shield graphics matched the right VDU.

5. The little pilot in the chair looks good. Any way of scaling him up or down and sticking him in the cockpits? And if so, making him the same size inside the fighter as outside?

Keep on keeping on.
 
1) ya I think I fixed that in pre4 (you got pre3 right?)
2) well I made it random based on the base name...since I couldn't find the info from the original
3) Ya you need more funds... I guess I didn't check if the gun was stolen before making Roman Lynch
4) I can bring that back easy
5) someone can do it if they please
 
Good find. I thought I'd been all over his site.

RR: you can bring back the vegastrike HUD pretty easily yourself, just copy it over from an older install. Possible to put the pilot in, sure. I can only think of a couple ships where he'd be visible, but that's good cause it's less work ;) Those two ships do look a little funny close up without anyone hehe.

1. Not sure....

2. It's in the Playtester's Guide. If you don't mind a long post I can get it to you. (oops... just saw the link.... Yeah, that's the easy way to do it.)

3. Gun? I haven't started the campaign yet, much less RF.

4. Please do. If someone wants the original cockpits they don't have to go to HUD. If you're gonna have a HUD, whuch the original didn't, it might as well look cool.

5. Have no idea who could. Volunteers?

You obviously don't know how dangerous that would be for me to try....

That's his point exactly. RIght now Lynch just appears there when he should only appear there after the gun is stolen. The game isn't checking to make sure that it has been, so there he is.

Bringing back the cockpit:
Find your privateer directory. Go to the cockpits directory. Right click on the disabled-cockpit.cpt directory and select delete.

Go to your old privateer directory (from 0.9 or whatever). Go to the cockpits subdirectory. Right click on the disabled-cockpit.cpt directory and click copy.

Go back to your new privateer directory. Go to the cockpits directory. Press Ctrl and v at the same time to paste. That will copy the old version of disabled-cockpit.cpt (HUD mode) to the new game.

Don't fear it, treat it like a mission in the game or something :D
 
Yo, hellcat! Kick me the latest, that cargo expansion problem is seriously kicking my ass in the earnings department.
