Yitzi's unofficial SMAX patch 3.3b

New release: Yitzi's unofficial SMAX patch 3.3b
Link to the downloads section:
http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=285

This fixes a display issue in the base overview screen from 3.3, and also fixes a number of bugs associated with AI freeing of captured faction leaders.

As always, this requires the text files from version 3.3.

Yitzi, can you make that F4 window scrollable with mouse (not just clickable)? It pisses me off to micromanage 15+ bases.

[Yitzi]

Unfortunately, stuff like "make scrollable with mouse" would be quite difficult; if you want you can nominate it as a possible project for the next patch (probably working off the rules used for map scrolling, which I would have to figure out), but it would have a very low vote multiplier due to its difficulty.

Out of curiosity, is there a location anywhere that summarizes all of the changes/fixes made?  I'm returning to SMAC after a nearly 2-year hiatus.

I also wondered if my "pet peeve bug" of automated Gravship formers not making sea-based improvements ever got fixed, since I seem to run into that every single game

The wiki page is what you're looking for (unless I forgot about some bugfixes, in which case those are pretty much lost).

No, but the current voting for new features thread is still accepting bugfix nominations, so if you nominate it and can get other people to support it, it could make it into patch #3.5.

Hi,
I install SMAC+SMAX from GOG (setup_sid_meiers_alpha_centauri_2.0.2.23.exe) and then I download this latest patch patch 3.3b.

But after run I see screen "RULES PARSER" (picture in attachment) .... and then game crash.

Could you give me some advice how to fix this?

Thank you.

[Buster's Uncle]

That looks like you didn't use the alphax.txt included with v3.0...

[VladaM]

Yeah true, now I download patch 3.3 which have TXT files and I copy it to AC folder and now its working.
Thank you for help.

[Buster's Uncle]

Delighted to be of service - and to have you here.

So today I spend few wonderfull hours with this mod and I have one question about refueling aircrafts.

I have about 10 aircrafts in one city (I build per 2 aircraft in different cities so theirs home cities are different) and now I move them all into one city and I am attacking with this aircrafts - but refueling only 2-3 aircrafts (randomly) even if all of this aircraft stay without moving in this city.

And I dont know why?

Is there some maximum capacity for refueling in one city?

I tried build airbase and move aircraft here, but with same result - some time refuel one sometimes two .....

Thank you for help.

This sounds like a bug.  (If it's not present in earlier patches, I think I even know which bugfix accidentally caused it.)  If you provide a savegame, I can investigate.

[VladaM]

Here is the savegame. Aircraft are on the left side city.
Thank you.

Ok, it's late now but I can probably check tomorrow or the next day.
