[UPDATE] Far Arm ships 3.0 beta4

[pagroove]

Hey I saw one of your cruisers today, nice

[Zieman]

Noticed a bug (copy/paster error / typo) in the Baakili shipdata, which prevents the ship's populator about 2 times out of 3.

Fixed this and also changed the populator script to javascript one.

Version 1.1 uploaded to my webspace and to Box.net, relevant links updated both here and in the Wiki.

Found about and finally got around a design fault in the OXP that caused the Baakili to use default commodities.plist instead of the custom one created for it.

Now the commodity market works as intended, no matter what script spawns the Baakili.

Version 1.2 uploaded to my webspace and to Box.net, relevant links updated both here and in the Wiki.

Updated both Far Arm ships and Baakili Far Trader to version 2.0

The Baakili Far Trader sure has strange needs and wants.
The 4 commodities lists seem identical.
Was there plans to differentiate them?

Nope.

Attention all who have downloaded Far Arm ships 2.0:

as Malcul kindly pointed out, the core package was missing a texture - I had accidentally dropped out FA_Cruiser_main_lightmap.png.

The missing file can be found here:

and I've updated the Box.net download to include it too.

Identified that Far Arm Ships has been causing CTD's on my computer. See this thread.

Also seen errors in my log (sorry didn't keep the logs) stating something like "Titan too big to launch from main station". It might have something to do with the small stations I use from Z-GrOovy Stations OXP, but it might need looking into.

Version 3 of Far Arm ships is about complete.

Thanks to the Hounourable Guild of Test Pilots, I fixed some issues and added functionality to the OXP.

As I want some more input from wider variety of Ooliteers, I release the 3.0 first as a public beta.
If you have an earlier version installed, you should remove it before installing this version.

I'm most interested in any errors in latest.log, and do the Titans & Cruisers patrolling the spacelanes appear too often or not often enough.

Thanks.

Oh, download link:

Yes, one of the improvements initiated by the Hounourable Guild of Test Pilots is that the whole OXP is again a single download, even @ Box.com.
