*** Vendetta 1.7.33

- Added sector alignment and monitored status to HUD (under
location indicator)
- Added 'F/A Mode' Flight Assist indicator to HUD (above
speed indicator)
- Station storage and ship cargo addons are now visible in
Commodities->Sell menu
- Removed 5x puchase limit for addons.
- Added verification dialog for any purchase over 200x
- Newly accepted mission text descriptions are updated
immediately instead of only when switching away and then
back to the mission tab
- The client now parses 'addons' directory and looks for
subdirectories. It then executes main.lua in each of
these subdirectories.

- pink/magenta as chat color

That's system chat, and has been ingame since like forever.

seems to all be working so far ....good progress...

Peculiar update. I still have to take my eyes off the crosshair and the action on screen to see how much my ship is falling apart (in a twitch-based game like VO, that can cost you the fight. It's a bit paradoxal that attempts to review my ship health will result in even lower health ;-) ), but now, I can see where I am, and if the sector is guarded, in a place where only combat information should be displayed.

I would have by far prefered if mine and my enemy's health bars had been represented somewhere close to the crosshair, not the kind of information that is only checked once, when entering the sector, and never during combat.

Other than that, everything seems to be working fine.

EDIT; Sorry, this might not be the best place for this discussion. See this thread.

I want the black ships back :(

I agree with Ion. First moving the distance indicator up, now more text in the same area? The crosshair area is getting too cluttered now. And as Ion said, with stuff that could be put elsewhere.

They didn't make this information toggable like the rest of the HUD? They should.

Ah, points taken. I guess the location info doesn't need to be front and center. It used to be on the bottom center between the radars.

Please now can you removed the F/A on/off chat message or add a toggle? During intense battles it really fills up my chat log and screen, as I swap it on and off very often.

Thanks

easy enough to do, PsyRa.. just edit the aim1 and aim2 aliases in your wgaf.cfg ...

HU? thurisaz, FA is flight assist, and has nothing to do with the selected weapons.

What I am talking about "FlyModeToggle" and the near constant stream of "flight assist enabled", "flight assist disabled" messages in my chat. I happen to use a bind to a single key on my stick that when held switches it, and when released switches it back. There is no way to alter the "FlyModeToggle" command.

I have searched high and low for a toggle or bind, and asked around on 100 multiple times, for a way to avoid this message, and there is no way to alter the "FlyModeToggle" command.

Now that we have a clearly visible in HUD display of that status (Brilliant implementation by the way), the chat record is redundant, annoying, and should be scrapped.

>they're gone???!?? OMG THAT MEANS THERE WILL BE AKANESE!!111!!! OMG

slime73, for some reason this has never been that color for me... weird?

The only chat colors in my client at the moment that are not the defaults are the private message colors, as shown here:



System chat has always been that pink-purple color, as far as I can remember.

What is the command for system chat again?

Credit to slime73 for the Lua witchcraft for this:

1) Create a folder inside addons/ named "SystemChat".
2) Create a file named "main.lua" inside SystemChat. This file should contain the following:

RegisterUserCommand("System:", function(_,m) SendChat(table.concat(m," "), "SYSTEM") end)
RegisterUserCommand("say_system", function(_,m) SendChat(table.concat(m," "), "SYSTEM") end)

Now you can bind keys to either System: or say_system (System: will look more like the other chat commands while flying around).

Thankee kindly!

ugh....
