Re: Linking to systems in msg doesn't work anymore

Is it me or was it possible to link to a system in a msg last round? For instance if i put 54,4:99 in a msg it would go to show the whole system. Now you can only link to a specific planet it seems.

Just put x,y without a planet number. See if that works.

I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Yeah. Stefan put it in awhile back after it stopped working after server transfer. He added to Ps original work with coord links and put in whole systems.

Re: Linking to systems in msg doesn't work anymore

tried this possiblities, but they are not working;

54,4:xx
54,4:x
54,4:00
54,4:0
54,4
54,4:

I'm sure it worked last round in pw and before that in MW because i used it to quickly scan core systems for intruders. It worked with x,y:99

Re: Linking to systems in msg doesn't work anymore

It was changed recently, you have to use this format:

system:xx,yy


edit: I'm kinda dissapointed, a mod and a developer here didnt know about this changes  hmm

If you could read our mod forum, you'd see why I didn't notice it. It's as full as a turkey on thanksgiving. That, and I've been busy for awhile. tongue

Re: Linking to systems in msg doesn't work anymore

this was changed due to a related bug.  see: http://imperialconflict.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=168120

perhaps we could/should add a "hint" section in the message pages regarding this

and Render, yes you're right we all (staff as well as players) should know about even minor changes as this one.  We have some ideas cooking about improved communication regarding these things.

Re: Linking to systems in msg doesn't work anymore

We have one Jaguar, the problem is it is noisy because it includes any/every code change we do, which often contain technical details that wouldn't be of any interest to most players.

I'm working on solving this problem by making it easier to organize and manage our code pushes.  If I can come up with something that Erlo and I can use with ease then a publicly available, automatically updated, and easy to understand changelog should be very possible.

It's just a matter of time of effort.
