Game version 0.95.130 released

Notable changes:

• Fixed the overlapping of Hubble 1 and Hubble 2 in the production screen, preventing the latter to be built if run with skirmish set to level 6. Note that Hubble 1 is a campaign-scripted satellite, and can't be really deployed. [Issue #720]
• Players can now build previously non-buildable tech in skirmish (e.g., Thorin @ lvl 6).
• Added option to campaign editor's copy feature to make copy of the default labels.

Game version 0.95.129 released

Notable changes:

• Fixed issue with non-human police stations not getting workers and power in case an earlier game was  loaded with a newer Open-IG version. [Issue #719]

Game version 0.95.128 released

Notable changes:

• Changed timing of mission 7 (protect traders) and mission 13  (escort Benson): there is less chance they overlap and the player can reach both parties if playing with pre-hyperdrive trait (Issue 718)

Uninstall all Java in batch

I usually have Java 6, 7 and 8 installed on my (Windows) machines, but whenever an update comes out, I have to manually, one-by-one uninstall them from the control panel. For 64 bit systems, this is doubled. However, I found a command which can do this automatically and for multiple versions at the same time.

You only need to create a batch file with the following content, and run it as administrator:


wmic product where "name like 'Java(TM) 6%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'Java(TM) SE%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'Java 6%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'Java 7%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'Java 8%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where "name like 'Java SE%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive

Game version 0.95.127 released

Notable changes:

• Space station equipment status is now saved and loaded properly. [Issue #715]
• Fleets are auto-reequipped only once after a battle (not on every approach to a planet with a spaceport).
• Space stations are auto-reequipped only once after a battle (not constantly, which made equipment management non-operational).
• Holding down the mouse over +1 and -1 buttons to change equipment counts works again.

Game version 0.95.126 released

Notable changes:

• Fixed the equipment screen to prevent adding technology to slots which don't support that particular technology (e.g., rockets to laser slot). [Issue #712]

Game version 0.95.125 released

Notable changes:

• Fixed diplomacy screen becoming inaccessible. (Issue #708)
• Fixed missing letter in the Russian font (Issue #711).
• Fixed some labels.
• Fixed some trader chats (Issue #711).
• Modified the loading to fix older saves where the aliens shared the same Police Station as the human player.
