[game improvement ideas]

Moved to suggestions.

[Achievements in MP]

A lot of achievements are broken. They don't unlock in single player as well.  It's known, but right now not a very high priority as far as I know.

[i made a server and this happened.]

It's possible nobody has ddos'd you, but if you hand our your IP to random people then you can't guarantee that there isn't an idiot among them.

The game currently sends its data uncompressed, so that might be a limiting factor for you. koonschi said, that data will be compressed in the future.

More spread out players will also likely increase the network load.

[The Empire Shipyard + a bit more]

Merged your threads into a single big one, as I wrote here. Sorry for any inconvenience :)

[Krieg's Hanger [w/ xml]]

Merged your topics. You can customize the title of the thread to reflect this, if your want to :)

[Read this before posting.]

My bad. It's thread, of course.

I think I have fixed the misleading parts. Thanks for the hint :)

[Couple of newbie questions]

Thanks for all the answers. Now i have more questions.

 

1. What is operation exodus?

2. Can i replace all my Titan blocks with Nanonite directly?

 

1. Part of the story. See this thread (Spoiler warning!)

2. You cannot currently without manually editing the .xml file. I think Kane Hart has a video on this.

[Is there a way to see selected turret stats in build mode?]

Here you go. Taken from

Hey everyone,

 

it's amazing that you want to post your creations on this forum. We love your creations :)

 

But now that more and more people are posting their creations, I am going to limit them to one thread per user. I want to give more space on the first page(s) to more users.

There are already a lot of "xyz's Shipyard" threads, where user xyz posts all of his submissions. This is style I am looking for :)

 

Don't worry about visibility, you can edit the first posts of your thread and the edits should show a notification on the board, as do updates through new replies, of course.

Also, you don't have to repost all of your stuff, I am going to merge your posts soon.

 

If you have anything to add/remark about this, please let me know.

 

 

TL;DR: One thread per user for visibility. Merging threads soon.

[When the battle gets big...]

Hey, afarina1

 

you should try to enter the beta branch on steam.

You can do so, if you right click on avorion in your library and select properties. Then switch to the 'Betas' tab and from the dropdown menu choose 'beta'.

This should resolve the problem, that every sector gets constantly attacked. But you might need to move to a different part of the galaxy if two factions are already at war.

[Which game engine is being used in Avorion?]

Don't trust everything your read on the internet, Thundercraft. 'Looks like' is not the same as 'is a' ;)

 

Koonschi has said, that he has written the game in C++ and, obviously, partly in Lua.

 

Here is a post I dug up from 2013:

No engine, I wrote this stuff myself in c++.

I'm using a bunch of libs though, directx earlier, SFML (replaces direct sound and input now), openGL in the future, lua, and boost.

DirectX will be removed, as it works only on windows, and openGL can do everything directx can.

[can we make the root block smaller?]

Don't forget to enable safe mode afterwards again. Otherwise you might remove your whole ship by accident and then you would respawn at your home sector.

[Figuring out block stats]

A reason to use them is a visual one. They can add some aesthetics to creative builds, which you might see in some ships from sci-fi series.

[Engine / Script Documentation]

There is a some automated documentation located in the installation directory of Avorion. You might want to take a look at that :)

[Client crash in creative mode(reproduced) no more]

Please add the logs as described here:

http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,6.0.html

 

Otherwise it might be hard to help you :)

[Shipyards]

Hey TBOWES,

 

I have merged your post with a thread of the same suggestion. As you can see above the devs like this suggestion as well :)

[Teleport / move to pos X]

It's officially being worked on:

 

[Sofa's Art Orifice (IMAGE HEAVY)]

Your drawings are amazing! Very good job :D

[Holy Light]

jimos, i have merged your post with a similar one into the suggestions forum.

[How to salvage wrecks?]

I have merged some topics about salvaging wrecks into this one, as a little clean-up.

[Ramming for the win! "Rapid deconstruction" done! -> couple of questions..]

The lower collision damage has very likely saved your ass. Although the armor must have had it's play in your survival as well :)

[Video Freeze]

Great to hear this :D

 

Have fun with the game!

[Annoying Black Shield Graphic Issue]

Without any information about your system it might not be easy to help you. Please post your system specs and and client logs as described in the sticky post at the top of the forum.

 

Also please refrain from writing in all-caps, even if its just the title, but I have removed the caps for this post already.

[[MOD] Better SHIPYARD! 1.0]

I have merged the topics. Please don't post a new topic for every time you update a mod, as Kane said already.

[Additional ship statistics]

I have gone ahead and split the old topic about the volume number. This thread now has the posts with requests for additional ship statistics :)
