<t>Hm. Is that supposed to be merged with the main tree when compiling? What is the directory layout supposed to be so that the compiler finds all the stuff? It's not clear from compiling.txt, if I do what it says I end up with a completely separate repository. (edit) I ended up merging the 2 ...

<t>The current Git code does not compiler cleanly with VC++ express 2012. There is a new dependency of sigc++ that wasn't there before. The libs are there, but it doesn't look like the headers made it: <br/>

Code::Blocks can't import VS 2010 or 2012 projects. Only 2008 and older. The newer formats are incompatible.All my builds have been 32bit. No point even thinking at 64bit before getting the basics to work.

Even with autotools, still the linker can't find libraries. Grrr.

<t>That's exactly the idea, I prefer a free (speech) alternative to free (beer).Well, I'm making a bit of progress towards making autotools with mingw. It turns out I didn't have pkg-tool installed. I installed pkg-tool-lite, and now it fails in a different manner:<br/>

<t>I got everything to compile fine with the latest mingw (had to recompile all libraries of course) but this is the error I get at linking stage. What I did is use Code::Blocks to import the vc2008 project, and made slight modifications to the project to get it to compile:-removed precompiled ...

<t>When compiling the latest git tree with mingw I came across the following:in src/graphics/gl2/StarfieldMaterial.h line 12:<br/>
Code:<br/>

But there is no Material.h in that directory. Needs either to become ../Material.h or place a copy of src/graphics/material.h in ...

Ever played IL-2? The autopilot there is pretty good at shooting down enemy planes for you. Better than I am anyway.

Correct, but are those shields supposed to be effective against rarefied gases? Dust?

<t>There are reasons for keeping an aerodynamic-looking shape even for ships that aren't intended for atmospheric flight. Micrometeorites, rarefied interstellar/interplanetary clouds of gas etc. at the speeds we're supposedly going can be obstacles. The less frontal area exposed and the shallower ...

<t>So which is the "official" git repository for Pioneer now? My understanding is such: the official repository is still tomm's, with John Jordan having his own which is more his plaything where he tries things out, but eventually these changes when mature making it still into tomm's repo; same for ...

LOL. Does anyone remember a number of years back, when Frontier Developments' page on Elite4 had some concept art on it - a girl in a spacesuit? Perhaps that's why E4 hasn't been developed. They were waiting for this offer.

Perhaps we should remake Pioneer into a FPS. *ducks*(boooo, hisss...)

I'm in for 1.

Perhaps you should keep a note of the parameters that generated that planet terrain, maybe someone'll include something like this in some special missions...
