AI War Beta 4.046, "Megaton," Released!

[Lancefighter]

In the mean time, I've taken the liberty of mashing something together with my amazing paint and gimp skills..

They uh.. Work.. And look slightly better than light frigates

Basically just a scaled down version of their full size selves, with a hand-pixel-art'd border. I'm sure Chris will come up with something better, and for the rest of them (only frigate through cruiser here, sorry), but it was fun to do

edit
duh..

They go in aiwar/runtimedata/expansions/3/galaxyview or something.. The names in the zip should correspond with names in the galaxyview folder. Yes to overwrite etc

Eeew, light-blue highlights.

er i can remove those if you want >.> I just uh was having fun with the 'border.png' file

2. We captured an ARS and got MicroFighters up to Mk III (3). Is this intentional?

As per the notes for the pending prerelease, there's a bug that removed the prereqs for microfighters; that's fixed for 4.047 already

Got some unhandled errors in my game too, so thought I'd attach the file if you needed it.

arthurp -- that was simply a bug that microfighters were not using their techs at all in the last version.  You don't really have mark III, it's just not caring for purposes of that release, heh.  Just that one unit.

[Lancefighter]

you should post unhandled error stuff on mantis
see my sig for directions/link

Can you take a look at this:

It seems a bit unplanned to hard break scouting in this way (spire gravity ripper = cap of Mk II scouts dead).

[x4000]

Yeah, I'll take a look at that -- thanks for the note.

@Elukka: Turns out we had some weirdness in our code, though I really don't see how it could possibly have been an index-out-of-bounds problem after the very start of the game.  But if you had a bug that corrupted your save by switching around unit types and you somehow wound up with a lot of exo-galactic wormholes on a planet, yea, I guess so.  Anyway, what we can fix on that is fixed for 4.047

Well, I didn't see any exogalactic wormholes... Nice to hear it's fixed.
(I swear this is the only game ever where you can report a bug and get a reply and a fix done inside half an hour)

(I swear this is the only game ever where you can report a bug and get a reply and a fix done inside 30 minutes)

Well I don't know if I really fixed the thing you were running into, as that error message is often associated with out-of-memory or other "something really bad happened below where our code can reach and we can't do jack to fix it" situations.  But here's hoping
