Pioneer dev forum

> I'm happy to buy merchandise, the 20-40% profit is a donation after all In terms of developer time invested compared to the number of people who actually support the project financially, I would not consider this to be a particularly prudent direction to go - the time spent preparing merchandise w...

If at all possible, this will be in the February release and coming soon(ish) to a Github PR near you! The feature (along with headtracking and other first-person camera improvements) is already implemented, just waiting to be untangled from a development branch that isn't done enough to merge yet. ...

And since I somehow missed it in the above post, the current Pioneer website is effectively a static site and can be hosted via Github Pages with our domain or on a similar static-site service for free or very low cost. I don't expect it to need to gain any kind of server-side interactivity in the f...

Indeed, thanks for the many years of active contribution and the years after keeping the place running behind the scenes! As already mentioned on IRC, I nominate impaktor to have the final say, as he's the most "administrative" of all of us at the top level - I can get particular about the...

Hah, that bug in Log.cpp is my fault; probably breaks everywhere. Unsure what's going on with assimp, I'd check to make sure you have a relatively recent version (the one in pioneer-thirdparty should work correctly).

Can't speak to anything else as I haven't run Pioneer on Windows in... ever :D

In order of your questions: - The size of the populated 'bubble' is a hard-coded constant value in the sector generator code. I do not remember the name, but you may be able to find it after a bit of digging. - At this time, I don't think the face generator supports the concept of multiple races wel...

Late to the party, but I think the left/right/up/down/rear views (and maybe even the front view, if we want to separate that from the cockpit!) should be considered views through a camera, and the cockpit a specific separate view itself that the user can pan around in using the mouse or headtracking...

I'd be happy to review the additions to the galaxy generator code once you get a PR made! The first step you'll need to take is forking (= make a personal copy of the main pioneer repository) the repo, then from there you can push your changes in a commit to a new branch on your fork and can open a ...

The last of the chapters I set out to fix up, https://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/Surviving_a_reload, is basically done and I've removed the 'Outdated' banner. It still needs fact checking, especially considering the topic is 'surviving a reload' and it's abundantly clear in PR 5306 that I don't completel...

zonkmachine: regarding the ECM crashes / zero stock, that happens when you're attempting to get station stock from a station that hasn't been initialized yet. As part of an optimization for savefile size, station inventories/stocks (and more importantly BBS missions) are not actually generated until...
