Release [Explorer's Application] Captain's Log

Is there any way to get the overlay onto my second screen, the one I play elite on?

Yep. I put that information in my release notes :)

But I'll repeat it here;

1) Put CL into Overlay mode

2) Click and drag on the "current database name" label which is located on the bottom left of the CL window. The window will then move and you can set your desired position on your second monitor.

The overlay window position will be saved for the next time you start Captain's Log.

p.s. Remember there is a hotkey for calling up CL which is quite handy... ALT-C


You can use this hotkey if you are using VoiceAttack to create a voice command to bring up CL :)

Thanks, another question how would a system like this be entered since the "planets" are actually stars?http://imgur.com/mlsSgJG

Easy - just click on the Y class star icon for the Y's. T Tauri's are Protostars so click on the PR star icon to count those, and so on...

You won't be able to enter them as planets - I've taken the decision to call them stars - they're on that borderline between star and planet. I do not plan on changing this :)

New Version : 1.4.1 "Even More Zero Gravitas"

This is a bugfix release.


- FIXED : netlog import now works and can import from both pre-2.1/1.6 and 2.1/1.6-onwards netlog formats.

- IMPROVEMENT : There should be a small but noticeable speedup of the "stars" and "statistics" stages of database load.

I just updated to this version and when I got to a new system I first clicked on the Metal-rich world icon to add it. It now shows only the metal rich world and I can enter a name for it as usual. I entered the designation "1" and clicked on OK to save it. Now the textbox to enter the next metal-rich world has disappeared along with the OK and X-buttons. So I can not get back to select a new planet or continue without closing and opening the program again.
 
Hi,

About to go exploring for the first time, and this all looks fantastic! Just what i need :)

I'm playing on an oculus rift cv1, and wondered if anyone has tried the Captains log overlay mode with one? Does it play nice on a hmd?

Thanks for your clearly considerable efforts!

Cheers,
Metkis

Argh!

OK obviously my QA department is useless - I'll look into that right now.

Hi Metkis,

It won't display, unfortunately. CL's overlay sort of cheats a bit and doesn't hook into Direct X. If I can find a way of doing this in the future then I'll certainly attempt it.

Please re-download Captain's Log 1.4.1, it has been fixed.

If you are one of the 23 unfortunate souls to have downloaded 1.4.1, please re-download and reinstall over the bugged version of 1.4.1 - I have found the problem and fixed it.

One lousy uncommented line of code... :rolleyes:

So rather than make it 1.4.2 I just repackaged it.

Apologies.

Disgraceful, call yourself a programmer! Bloody amateur, you have low standards and cant even meet them!

Oh, hang on.... that should translate as 'thanks once again for all your work on this tool, it's a bleeding godsend. I admire your dedication and am extremely grateful for all the unpaid work you put into making this available to me and the rest of the community'.

Also, I share your taste in sci-fi, IMB is/was one of my favourite authors, even got a signed copy of Surface Detail....

o7 and fly safe,

Not sure if this was mentioned before or not, but, when you change the colours (I was changing them back to the original scheme :D , the main screen reloads but the stars and the statistics do not. (just a     le, doesn't break my immersion)

Another awesome edition of the essential captains log!

Hi,

I see you have that sorted now. Yeah, the configuration window is sort of misleading in that I merely just display the last settings and you have to enter both locations - I should alter its behaviour as it's confusing.
