Loving it, and have actually moved fully over to Quasar from Oldrora. Here's some of the things I've noticed off-and-on over the past year that are at least different, though may or may not be bugs.

  • Add extra commanders adds commanders to current type, not all types.
  • Promotion breaks civilian administrators.
  • Renaming bodies/colonies breaks randomly.
  • LP auto-route only functions if the fleet is in the same sector as the LPs.
  • Starter RP are not a thing.
  • Fire controls don't ignore max range when targetting waypoints.
  • Exclude surveyed doesn't exclude system bodies.
  • Launch missiles at order doesn't function.
  • Anti-greenhouse gas doesn't lower planetary temperature. EDIT: It kind of works... sometimes? Very buggy though and generally doesn't. EDIT2: Actually, all terraforming seems... weird. In Aurora you can add/remove gasses from anything more-or-less. Quasar seems to let you... but then the calculations often break and don't do anything.
  • Add WP to SB doesn't have the resulting WP follow the body.
  • Follow order doesn't appear for system bodies.

     Not sure if it's a bug or if I'm just doing something incorrectly because I see no-one else with this issue.  For some reason, when designing a ship, I can add components using the add button or by double clicking its name in the design tab.  However, I can never remove components, the remove button just doesn't work.  I've completely deleted all files of Quasar 4x and re-downloaded it but it still didn't fix it.

     Let me know if you need any more information and thank you.

I had a ship that had exclusively size 1 magazines with 16 capacity and was armed either with anti-missiles or size 1 missiles with warhead strength 3. I would imagine such a magazine would have maximum explosion size of 48. The ship suffered magazine explosion strength 1200. I don't know how Aurora was calculating magazine damage, but even if something like that was possible there I would still be grateful if this could be corrected.

That explosion strength is equal to 25 magazines detonating. Does the design have 25 (or more) magazines? If more, it might be explainable that 25 failed their ejection check and the total damage was totaled.

When putting an overhaul conditional order, the order would get duplicated each increment as long as it not on it's overhaul destination

Can't seem to get 'Exclude Surveyed' to work, on the task group orders area.

Thank you for your work. Unfortunately I have another bug. I cannot activate shields on some ships. In the save file below I went to the Remnant->Bath Picket Group and used the button 'shields on' (Task Groups window) after which I progressed the game by one hour. The same screen (Task Groups window) claims the shields are 0 for all ships. Individual units detail is showing that shields are on. I also had task groups where some ships had shields activated and some didn't.
Thank you for your time.

Well, I was itching to poke away at Q4X some more :)  Here are some more fixes and comments

In aurora if a jump ship was at a jump point it acted as a jump gate for all relevant ships (smaller tonnage, type). What I mean by that is that if, for example, there was a 10kT military jump ship at a jump point I could order any warship 10kT or smaller to perform standard jump without having to put the ship in the same group, as if a jump gate was on the jump point. This worked from both sides of the jump point. In quasar ships need to be in the same group to make a jump which adds a lot of micromanagement.

From eyeballing the code, this should already be working.  I don't see a requirement to be in the same group.  If this is still an issue please send me a save file for testing

In Aurora DB ship size for the purposes of a jump point transit was rounded up to nearest 50, the same as the ship size in tonnes. In quasar the exact ship size is used. For example I had an exploration ship massing 6600T and a destroyer massing 6600T but I was not able to jump. Turns out that the exact ship size of the exploration ship is 131.6 while the exact size of the destroyer is 131.9, which prevents the jump. In Aurora that would not have mattered.

I'm pretty sure this is how it works in VB6.  If I can see a counter-example in VB6 I'll make an update

I can’t be sure since I haven’t played Aurora in several years but I think the point defenses were engaging only missiles that were going to hit, ignoring those that were going to miss.

I'm pretty sure this is how it works in VB6.  If I can see a counter-example in VB6 I'll make an update.  I would need a save file I can use as a testing scenario

Extended orbit doesn’t appear to be working. The vessel treats this as “move to x distance from the object” instead of following the object at a given distance.

Added to my todo list to check this out

Order delay works as intended in case of normal orders, however if “cycle moves” is toggled on, it will only work the first time. The next time the orders are cycled there will be no delay. Adds a lot of micromanagement for fuel harvesting operations.

I tested this in VB6 and it appears to behave the same way.  However I do see the benefit of potentially adding a new "Maintain Position" order in which a fleet will just stay put for the specified time before moving to the next order.

I was salvaging wrecks (very large wrecks of ships which had hundreds of shield generators/box launchers each) and I’ve never seen more than five components of a given type salvaged from a single wreck but I’ve seen a lot of exactly five components recovered. Is it a bug or is it working as intended?

I'm pretty sure VB6 is the same, for better or worse.  Maximum of 5 components per component type in a wreck.

Secondary explosions do not show in the summary/tactical map if armor wasn’t breached. Not sure if it’s supposed to work like this.

Nor am I :)

It is possible to use damaged components in combat. The exact mechanics are as follows. You need two ships of the same class, let's call them A and B. B gets damaged, some weapons are no longer operational. You set up weapons for ship A and use "copy assign". The ship B can now use destroyed weapons.

Fixed

I've got ruins on venusian planets in non-real stars. I think it happened exactly once.

Would need to see the save file.  Conditions for ruins are more lenient than for NPR's however.  Maybe the ancients were around in a time prior to the runaway greenhouse event.

Political stability doesn't appear to affect mining. It's always extracting the maximum possible amount, even when political stability modifier is 0.

I'm not sure stability affects mining.  Would need to see an example in VB6.

New PDCs are being put into individual, new task groups rather than existing ones. I think it may have to do with there being two populations on the planet (genetic engineering was being performed).

If this is still bothering you please send me a save file for testing


Quote from: Haji on May 27, 2022, 01:32:52 PM
If a ship has automated orders to survey both bodies and jump points it will move from bodies to jump points without regard for lagrange points. This makes surveying distant binaries very annoying. For example let us say we have a distant binary with lagrange points. If I send the ship to the secondary component, after performing geological survey it will then move through normal space towards the jump point survey until it runs out of fuel.

If this is still bothering you please send me a save file for testing


Quote from: Haji on May 27, 2022, 01:32:52 PM
It seems like surveying bodies means surveying bodies withing 10 bln km of the central star rather than the ship itself. I'm pretty sure it was 10 bln kilometers from the ship in Aurora.

I think this is how it works in VB6.  Even if it isn't, I think this way is better for NPRs.  I might make this configurable for players.

The fixes are available now in version 186.

Hi, if any of these are still bothering you can you please set up some example save files for me to look at.

I will, thank you. I can deal with most problems using SM mode but I'll check my lists later (I have found over a dozen new bugs). Right now I need a help with a crash. I have no idea what's been causing it as I have not had any errors, at some point the game just refuses to progress even if I use only 5 sec interval. Save file have been attached.

For clarity I did mess with the database file. I changed system abundance (but no new systems should be being generated), species tolerances (gravity, oxygen) and race modifiers (shipyard production, research speed). However I have not touched the database for several decades of game time.

Thank you for your time.

Bug Report: Quasar seems to use rounded-up class size to calculate speed, when it should be using exact class size. Build cost for engines seems to be determined incorrectly

Example: I can reproduce the following design from Steve's VB6 Rigellian Campaign reboot. I don't know what version of VB6 Aurora the Rigellian campaign was written under, but based on the date I believe it was a fairly early of patch 7.0, so fairly current to the "final form" of VB6 Aurora:

Usually the speed bug is not too noticeable as most ship designs aim for a round HS number, and the impact for large warships is almost unnoticeable. However, I have run into this bug when I design, e.g., a 250-ton scout fighter which is exactly size-5, and for some reason in the game code this is rounded up to size-6 for the speed calculation - a very noticeable 20% difference in speed between the Quasar class and the intended design! I have reproduced this bug using Steve's design to prove that this is an inconsistency between Quasar and VB6 which should be corrected.

The BP difference is attributable mostly to an engine cost bug which appears to be because the cost is multiplied by the EP modifier (2.0x) when this should only be the case when the EP modifier is lower than 1.0x - this is the case in C# and I cannot find any evidence that things were any different in VB6. This explains 24 BP of the 25.4 BP difference, I am unsure what factor accounts for the remaining difference.

I also note that there is some inconsistency in the display (Quasar appears to round more aggressively than VB6), a small inconsistency in the missile speed likely due to rounding, and that the box launcher is displayed with a rate of fire as if it was a larger, reloadable launcher type

Thanks for the report!  Version 184 has been pushed which fixes the major issues noted above. After the fixes I was able to get an exact match on 8149 km/s, with a BP of 57, and the design summary now shows Hangar/MF reload times for box launchers instead of a rate of fire.

---

As a general update: I haven't been spending time on Q4X, so there won't be any new features.  I probably wont be working on it any more in the near future either, outside of bug fixes -- as long as they don't require too much work setting up test scenarios.  I got the itch to do some coding in Godot, hence the small patch update, but further coding will probably be in some other project.  I'm pretty happy with the state of Q4X though, it is fairly complete and stable.

When creating a new race, the gravity deviation claims to be percentage based however it is absolute. For example creating a species on a planet with gravity of 0.6 and deviation of 70% should result in gravity tolerance of 0.18 to 1.02 however it results in gravity tolerance of -0.1 to 1.3.

Reduced thermal signature doesn’t work. According to the ship design window it is lowered, however while playing two sides, the other side was able to detect full thermal signature as if the tech wasn’t applied.

Not sure if this is a bug, but it appears the game first applies last ditch point defense and then applies potential misses by missiles. I can’t be sure since I haven’t played Aurora in several years but I think the point defenses were engaging only missiles that were going to hit, ignoring those that were going to miss.

Extended orbit doesn’t appear to be working. The vessel treats this as “move to x distance from the object” instead of following the object at a given distance.

It is possible to start the game without scientists.

Order delay works as intended in case of normal orders, however if “cycle moves” is toggled on, it will only work the first time. The next time the orders are cycled there will be no delay. Adds a lot of micromanagement for fuel harvesting operations.

The above bugs were all observed on the newest version over the past few days. The bugs below were observed over the past several months.

I was salvaging wrecks (very large wrecks of ships which had hundreds of shield generators/box launchers each) and I’ve never seen more than five components of a given type salvaged from a single wreck but I’ve seen a lot of exactly five components recovered. Is it a bug or is it working as intended?

Secondary explosions do not show in the summary/tactical map if armor wasn’t breached. Not sure if it’s supposed to work like this.

It is possible to use damaged components in combat. The exact mechanics are as follows. You need two ships of the same class, let's call them A and B. B gets damaged, some weapons are no longer operational. You set up weapons for ship A and use "copy assign". The ship B can now use destroyed weapons.

I've got ruins on venusian planets in non-real stars. I think it happened exactly once.

Political stability doesn't appear to affect mining. It's always extracting the maximum possible amount, even when political stability modifier is 0.

New PDCs are being put into individual, new task groups rather than existing ones. I think it may have to do with there being two populations on the planet (genetic engineering was being performed).

If a ship has automated orders to survey both bodies and jump points it will move from bodies to jump points without regard for lagrange points. This makes surveying distant binaries very annoying. For example let us say we have a distant binary with lagrange points. If I send the ship to the secondary component, after performing geological survey it will then move through normal space towards the jump point survey until it runs out of fuel.

It seems like surveying bodies means surveying bodies withing 10 bln km of the central star rather than the ship itself. I'm pretty sure it was 10 bln kilometers from the ship in Aurora.

That's all the bugs I have right now. Thank you very much for your work.

Maybe you can insert that check for LPs when a fleet enters a system. To address the problem of possibly adding time to the move because of changing positions of LPs you could check the amount of time saved by adding the LPs. If it is less than 20% time save or less than 1bkm skip the adding.

Yep at some point I'll probably do that.

Version 182

When my exploration ship refuels at Earth, all of my maintenance supplies vanish.  Conversely when the ship resupplies, all my fuel reserves vanish.

Im not sure which one is the save but ill attach the sqlite file.  please correct me if i am wrong and i will upload the right file.  Thanks!

Fixed in 183, available now
