0.4.2. test 11 bugs
During testing several bugs was found, here are most annoying some:
1. On scirmish game setup screen should be a bigger window with map description, since current one can`t display all the info about selected map.
2. PeeWee`s have wrong type of fire. They should split several projectiles (i suppose 3) one after another in one shot. Currently they shoot with only 1 projectile.
3. On crystal maps (violet ones from CC maps) metal extractors doesn`t extract metal. But moho metal extractors - DOES extract!
4. Hold fire function doesn`t work if unit is already firing at something.
I`ll keep testing.

I've tested my Linux packages on various systems, they work fine, except for one thing (that should affect all the packages) : when you only have totala1.hpi & totala2.hpi as resource files, the arm commander (I haven't tested with core) can only build basic things (solar panels, metal extractors, ... but no factories, in fact only the first build menu is available !! Add the rev31.gp3 or ccdata.ccx file and everything works fine ...
can you try and tell me if you have the same problem ?

Also - there are still some strange thing when using only totala1 and totala2. In build menu i can see all the building (on 2 pages) BUT if I begin to switch to the next page after second - all I`ve got is just blank build menu and i can swithc back and forth and all the way i see only black menu. But if i didn`t switch too far from the start - i still can return to the first to build pages of build menu.
Kinda strange

yeah that's strange. I've fixed the "only one build menu" bug but there are still some strange things that happens ... like game statistics menu not being drawn completely (seems to happens with other menus ... )
I don't know what's doing this. It may be a memory leak due to only using totala1.hpi & totala2.hpi ... I will fix that too

I've fixed lots of thread safety and a few memory corruption bugs, so now the game is much more stable and passed the ultimate stability test:
running the game with thousands of units firing at each other (using the spawn command, but I could also write a .lua script to do the job ), I managed to run it until I got fed up !!
PS : it would be great to finish the documentation by including the new version of the resource installer, so I'll send you a updated package so you can see what it looks like and take nice screen shots

Some new bugs
1. There should be ither restriction to use 12-icon build menu on resolutions lesser than 1024x768 or it should be sizeble, since now on 800x600 or 640xx480 size of 12-icon build menu don`t match size of othe GUI parts and covers some of function buttons.
2. AI still can`t place metal extractors directly where it should be placed

you should put TA CD 1 first (it contains base resources, if it can't find it it'll stop the installation process) then TA CD 2 if you have it (if you don't it won't stop the installation process), then just put the discs the installer is asking for and if it can find the required data it'll install them (unless there is a nasty bug ).
If it tells you "can't find path to TA CD-Rom" then there is something wrong with the first step of the installation ... I'll look at it in a win32 environment.
Also I'll release a 0.4.2 RC 1 today and the final 0.4.2 when it's ready .
NB: I will stay at university next week end so I won't be able to upload it to darkstars so I'll send you the packages so you can upload them if you have time

Tested the latest version. TA Spring is much advanced but gameplay of TA3D is more original. Also i got a habit to use left click mode instead of strict right click mode in TA Spring. Gameplay rules. So TA3D has a good potential for all the people addicted to classic TA (as me).
Here is the list of bugs (tested under windows xp sp2, cpu c2d e2140, video radeon HD3850 with Catalyst 8.3, memory 4 (available ~3,2) Gb):
1) listbox component (in menu) is not affected by any arrow keys (up|down), so it's very hard to select a map (scroller field is very narrow)
2) nanolathing spray disappears randomly (energy & metal is enough & they are not exhausted)
3) i can see many gray horizonal lines (artefacts?) in the game across the screen; TA Spring has this problem too but it appears on dynamic effects (explosive) only; Supreme Commander works perfectly
4) first time a started the game it hanged after it read music track list (according to log file); by that time i copied totala1.hpi only. i close the process via task manager & relaunched the game again & i finally saw GUI
5) i was playing 800x600 in windowed mode; i guess raster fonts are resized; this is a bad idea cause i could not read anything clear; this also concerns fonts in-game - looks very ugly
6) i think there are some bad calculations with plane (or activation of restriction of bulding) when building some buildings onto inclined plane - some poligons in the corners occured under the ground
7) yep, as mentioned above, shooting targets is very strange - looks like you shoot the goal, but missed; also target selection is stupid - instead of making backfire my ship was shooting at construction plants so a had to point personally where to shoot.
Anyway project is really nice, i can play windowed mode without interface bugs (original TA has much problems with it) & much of original TA is left untouched - this is perfect!
