The CPU block (don't know about the name yet) is planned. It will serve as a remote for a limited number of AI blocks. You can then change the options also from one block instead of having to go around and do it to each block individually. To be honest I don't like the idea of limiting the...

Let me know what you think: http://star-made.org/content/space-stations-preview-part-7-new-docking-ai-module

Hello and welcome to StarMade, This preview shows the completely refined docking mechanism. Also, there is a new module: The AI module lets you configure and activate an AI on structures. Orientated and restricted docking This feature was very frustrating to implement. It took more then 3 days...

Sorry mate, there has been no incoming report. I just tested, if there is anything wrong with the reporting tool, but everything seems to be ok. Maybe try it manually.

Yeah, sorry, my English isn't good enough to explain it properly. I was talking about the advantages of just having pivots over presets, and I'm currently implementing that (restricted pivots, that is) :)

Hi, thanks for the suggestions! @Prongles: The difference between my approach and other approaches is, that docking is actually generic. Any two Structures can be docked together, whereas pure turrets are explicitly implemented to do just what they do. I'm trying to avoid that kind of special...

Hi, I didn't receive an Error report after the first one. Thats really strange, maybe it's because of the same problem. The best way would be if he sent me his logs manually: Please tell him to Zip the /StarMade/logs folder and send it to schema at star-made.org Sorry, that it still doesn't work...

Thanks! I can't say yet for certain, but I'm aiming for next week. There are a lot loose ends that need to be tied together. Also, prepare for a bugfest when the new Version comes, as so much has been changed :), Well let's hope for the best.

Hello and welcome to StarMade, This preview shows of the now fully integrated block orientation logic used with stationary weapons on a Space Station. Space Stations Progress Block Orientation The player is now able to select and connect any usable module externally. It was a bit tricky to...

Looks right. The problem is, that I do not calculate lighting that that way. I'm using ambient occlusion to calculate 'lighting' blocks. This way, light will be blocked by obstacles. It't kind of an opposite approach to the normal lighting. This is a pretty good article about it...

Thanks for the report. I can't really tell, what is going wrong as the error that java throws indicates, that the connection got interrupted or closed suddenly. Can you send me a report after a single player game crashes, so I have the log of the server. Maybe I can find something there. I'll do...

Hello ad welcome to StarMade, Step by step, the new features are getting more robust, and a lot of open ends tie together. Improved Gravity Physics In older versions, the gravity physics were a bit buggy. The camera orientation got messed up, if the ship was rotating, and the character could...

Can he send me the logs (use the BugAndCrashReport.jar in the starmade directory)? But from the sound of it, this feels like a firewall issue for me. The game establishes a connection in single as well as in multiplayer (in single player that connection is only local and never leaves the...

Yeah, the game is multiplayer in all regions (local area network or internet). To start a LAN game, you pretty much do exactly as Elladan already said. But since you probably are connected to a router at home, ususally that router gets the IP 192.168.0.1, and the router is not where you want to...

Hello and welcome to StarMade A little detour was taken, but now things are back on track with more performance and less memory usage. Also, the new recycle module is done. Space Stations Progress Performance Upgrade As I was testing with bigger and bigger objects, the space stations proved...

Hi, can you send a crash report? If it just crashes without any error message, you can use the CrashAndBugReport.jar in the StarMade directory to send a report manually. thx, schema

Camera orientation is still a bit buggy in that version. For the next version however, that is already fixed. When two lights schine on a surface, they are afaik added together ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RGB_illumination.jpg ) I'm going to try, to make the lighting more smooth. I...

thanks for the video. looks interesting. I already have a similar solution planned that also takes care of theproblems that a cube shaped world would introduce

Hi, block orientation is not yet in the game, although the technical requirements already exist. They will come soon ;)

Hello and welcome to StarMade, Space Stations are getting bigger and bigger. The first inventory block is in the game. Space Stations Progress There is now the power generator compartment in space stations. The huge array of power generators is shielded by a silo made of hull modules. The...
