What do you mean by "no save?" As in the functionality to save a specific governor out for later use isn't in or when you save your game the governor list isn't retained when you load it back up?

I think he means the ability to save a governor for use in a different game. Currently you have to set up each governor each game which is not as useful as a save option where you could just load a previously saved version. Having to set them up each game takes just as long as setting up a planet, hence there is not much of an advantage using them at the present. If they could be saved between games then it would really speed things up and make their use in the game a very huge bonus.

Cari has posted elsewhere that making governors save between games is a definite no-go.

Bug is still there that causes an error if you edit an existing custom race and then try to start a Metaverse game.  Says the race is illegal and your game won't count.  Can someone remind me what race file needs to be deleted to fix this?  Tried Search but came up empty.

Edit - Found the file.

Edit - Deleted the custom race file and made a new race.  Still getting the invalid race error when starting a new Metaverse game.  Please help.

No just the offending one.  Will remove tham all and report back.

Edit - That worked.  Thanks.

From what I've heard, it got cut. It's still available via mods, but not in 2.0 itself.

CariElf,

Dunno if you remember that back in July... you and/or codecritter had found the 'renaming' of surface tiles to match the query images shown when we scan through between planets; IIRC, this was a persistent bug that would maintain a 'memory' image of a global pool of 72 tiles that got re_used on every planets.

Arrrrggh... I was *really* hoping that this issue would show up as fixed in the 2.0 version - but, it still isn't.

What this annoyance does to me (and most probably others who already noticed!) is very simple;

- I am trying to enhance the whole terraforming features for X-Worlds to integrate three new extreme colonization layers, specific terrains tiles and a complete overhaul of the 'normal' gapping detection by the necessary heightmaps raw files.

- When i encounter (say) an Aquatic planet, the Prairies tiles are no longer **SUPPOSED** to be a Prairie (along with its default image) but rather a modded specific extreme with an alternate Aqua pic.

- On that very same planet; you can **also** find Coastal regions (improvable, btw), Toxic Volcanoes, Radio-Active areas, Icebergs in the Arctic & Abyss tiles in the oceans (at a specific maximum depth of the usual heightmap data values).

- Multiply the above reasoning by FIVE extreme types.

I must design the entire new coloring schema(s) for **ALL** default settings so that the many new layers need to be detectable and, most importantly, represented in the interface as they should.

Currently, the game doesn't do that since it simply scrambles up the tiles at random.

So, i can't work under these conditions... much less finally doing all the planet raws for every 36 major Races Homeworlds and other planets in their systems knowing the actual (example) Heavy-Gravity Vortex tile where the Avenger must land and the 'Core Brain' building be built on - will again show up as Mountain or anything else!) when it certainly isn't.

Please? Once more.

Found a bug in TA 2.0 with the Ascension countdown timer.  In my current game the Iconians are on the clock and they had about 980 turns to go.  Now about two turns later I noticed they are down to 490 turns to go!?  Obviously the rest of the galaxy is quite upset about this time warp.  Not sure if I have a save game or not.  Will check.

Edit - OK, I do have a save game that duplicates this bug.  The turns to Ascension go from 983 to 490 after advancing the game three turns.  File sent.  This is a Metaverse game if that matters.

Seriously?  Can't tell if your wink is because you are pulling my leg or not.

Yep - I had a game with three acension resource in easy distance. The neighbors rapidly got, ah peevish - {G}

Sorry about that.  I searched and searched but there's no 'winking to let you know that this is a bizarre but nethertheless true thing' smilie

For me the most annoying bug in TA 2.0 so far has been with the new espionage system.

Removing own agents wasn't easy at first, until I found out how it can be done. The problem is that a big area between the arrows on the sides causes the page to turn to show more races. This happens on top of the REMOVE buttons too - the page just switches. Basicly you have to push the REMOVE buttons as high as possible for them to work because of this.

Link to screenshot showing the page switch area (area highlighted with a yellow box):

(My screen resolution is 1280x960, and I have custom races in game if that makes any difference)

That area needs serious tweaking. Why is it even needed? Aren't the arrows on the sides enough to switch the page? Also the arrow on the left works once, but the arrow on the right works multiple times in a row - just like the middle area. Also the races can be highlighted by pushing in the middle of the PLACE and REMOVE buttons, which doesn't seem to have a purpose.
