I love the quality of life additions and fixes you made, especially the addition of a capital planet and the jump fuel warning (I know it will save me a lot of time, since I'm so forgetful).
No problems switching between full screen and windowed here (Win 7 x64).
Thanks and please keep up the good work!

« on: January 25, 2016, 01:35:09 PM »Right. I'm not going to change the code, though, since I'd rather not mess with something I coded that long ago. I'll just have to trust that I did it like I did back then for a reason.

« on: January 24, 2016, 11:31:15 PM »Had to check the code... Yes, part of the reinitialization code removes characters on your ship. I don't remember exactly why I did this (it's quite a few years ago that I coded that!), but it was probably to avoid being stuck with a mission character on board your ship that you couldn't get rid of or something along those lines.
For "Taxi" missions it could be problematic to get rid of passenger when mission was removed during "re-initialization".
Captives (for Bounty Missions and others) are different story because we can sell them. Right?

I was pretty sure I've got captives in old save but I wasn't able to find them until I've run old version of the game. It occurs that re-initialization in 0.7.2 removed all captives from my ship. Is it normal or just a bug?
(save on Mega)

Yeah, you will automatically interact with captives when walking into them. NPCs that are fleeing you, you will automatically switch positions with.

It won't. A lot of people will be confused about how to talk to people if you have to hold down a button to do so. Having you automatically switch positions with NPCs that you have no business with anyway, but still talk automatically to characters you do have a reason to talk to is more intuitive and user-friendly.

« on: January 23, 2016, 01:38:33 PM »The way the automatically switching positions with NPCs was supposed to work was that you only do it automatically with NPCs that don't have any dialogue and will just brush you off, so it wouldn't automatically make you switch positions with mission character and fixers and such. But I messed that up. I've tracked down the issue, though, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Don't forget about "Help" screen. Information there is for old behavior when player must hold "S" to switch positions with NPCs. I hope it will be "simply reverted" - hold "S" to talk/interact.

But in the loop where it reads the files, I have it check that the file counter number is < 91 ... and then I immediately increase it by 1! And then it of course crashes when trying to read file number 91. Sometimes I want to slap my past self.
