Interesting to see those at the top. I made a fix for that and in all the tests I did, it worked 100% as it should.
Now I have people telling me that it NEVER works as it should. The only explanation I have for that contradiction is, that the server still isn't running an updated version. The fact, that there hasn't been any patch note to that effect, supports this belief.
If I had access to the server like BT said he'd give me, I could have confirmed or denied that theory in 2 minutes and acted accordingly. Instead I have been wondering for many, many months.
It is @#(! like that, which makes me want to stick to one-man-projects.

Sounds like a fun bug to track down. Maybe the tech con is politely waiting for the enemy tech con?
I don't know, but surely there has to be some pattern to it. If someone can figure out how to reproduce it in a two player game, it can actually be fixed. I don't think anyone has made a real effort at that yet though.

I don't think anyone realizes how time intensive work on Allegiance has been for me. One factor was that C++ was still new for me, another is just that navigating the maze that is Alleg code, and especially testing takes time.
If I would have spent the time making money, I would be many 1000€s richer.
If I had made an effort getting a GF, I would probably have gotten rid of her again already.
If I had put the effort towards finishing my degree, I would have a proper grade. (Not that it would have really mattered.)
Do I really want to dive into that rabbit hole again, when there are infinite alternatives, which are probably more rewarding? I don't even have that kind of idle time these days.
