Interstellar travel (jump)

  • load system from file
  • list of all systems
  • jump to other system
  • limit to adjacted systems
  • map displaying system positions graphically (debug:display coordinates under mouse)

Interplanetary travel (space-folding)

requires large scale systems, e.g. distances between planets in a somewhat realistic scale. this will require some form of space-folding-travel mode to remain playable, we'll keep that for later, other things are more important first.

  • gui : hud : distance display, on mouse over : name, type
  • larger system, spec travel
  • 2d system layout (orbits, but not moving)
  • gui : system map (render to texture, mousepick, click selects planet, planet has stuff orbiting, hierarchial)

Tutorial/Story

maybe a small story as intro/tutorial to game :

  • deliver something to a nearby station/planet (basic controls) (problem : 1 player ?)
  • targetting practice : shoot some debris/junk(Aquanox) /Astreroids/ old-junk-space-ship(EV)
  • destroy some drones that have run amok (hacker,FOF-malfunction,...)
  • bounty hunt : destroy some pirates , reward : jump-drive
  • sientist sensor tutorial : search for right materials, reward : construction plans (weapons, shields...)
  • asteroid mining tutorial
  • crafting tutorial
  • explore mission ? (nearby systems, some other sientist needs help, delivery..)
  • capture some animals on planet, planet personal weapons tutorial


Bugs

  • when you are in writing mode you cant zoom in/out only move the camera
  • you can shoot yourself writing your name in select/by name and shooting.
  • keyboard input does not work in fullscreen on some machines...
  • bad situation in editor : click new, rightclick , problem (last block gone)
  • the sun can be clicked from within the spaceship ? (check click detection for cross location stuff)

  • sun, additive blending z-sorting bug
  • shipeditor culling is broken if not started with -se commandline option
  • i can resize the window! but when i do it. the chat bar and the interface dont move! i should not be able to resize

Install help

These problems should be automatically detected (see also troubleshooting in INSTALL)

  • check if scons is available in makefile
  • scons : check ogre version (1.2 leads to LINKER errors, see sfz thread in free gamer forum)
  • scons : dpkg info for ogre version? 1.4.0 or later
  • scons : check lua version, 5.1 leads to errors
  • scons : plugins_linux.cfg : "locate libOgreMain | grep .so" folder + OGRE/ for plugins
