ships won't move

posted on May 5th, 2003, 4:09 am

i've downloaded the beta and i have a small problem. My ships won't move when i give them an order, they just remain in the same spot, i've tried switching mouse modes but nothing has worked. I've noticed that none of the AI's ships can move either. Can someone help me? BTW, great mod.

what the hell.. some problems do realy get strange here.. :-(
do you have bought armada within the star trek action pack or do you have installed Fleet Operations over an existing Armada2 Installation?

i bought armada II as a separate game, no pack. i installed fleet operations into a new folder, not the armada one.

thats your problem i think is that all the mod files must be in the armada main folder to work... i don't know if this helps?

have you changed any of the game settings like "star trek physics" or the deepth of the map? These settings are not yet implemented and can cause strange errors in the game, pls use the default settings there.

yeah, i think i did set the "slower physics" button. i'll reverse it and let you know the outcome.

okay, it worked! just leave the settings at default and there shouldn't be a problem captain henk

Ah! Thank you! It worked.

BTW, could you fix this in the next update or at least mention it in the readme, that would prevent that this problem comes up at any further versions.

hey probs with not moving ships ... do NOT turn on the slow physics !!!! you can do it but the ships wont move ( perhaps that feature should be deactivated from the advansed settings (before starting the games)

this is fixed for beta2.. the slow physics option will be without effect
