(since Richard and I are now flooding the "exe replacement" topic under "Fixing it ourself" with development messages and since Phoenix is perhaps starting to look like a proper clone/remake I will open this thread to announce new releases of Phoenix.)
Phoenix releases can be downloaded from here
https://github.com/joulupunikki/Phoenix/releases
A very barebones website is here (the only attraction is a link to a youtube video with
phoenix running)
http://joulupunikki.github.io/Phoenix/
I don't recommend contributing but if you absolutely must hack the sources the proper Phoenix git repository can be cloned with git with the following command
Code: Select all
git clone git://github.com/joulupunikki/Phoenix.git Phoenix
Code: Select all
git config --global core.autocrlf true
************************************************
Version 0.8.3 released
This is mostly a bugfix release. The most important change is to use -Xss32m instead of -Xss99m as java cmd line option to prevent out of memory errors. Also, since the mouse wheel planet map to space map transition was not actually documented anywhere anymore and since I should support EFS features a space button has been added to planet window. Click on space button to move to star map window. Versions 0.8.2 and 0.8.1 exist in the git repository but they were premature so no source or jar releases were made for them.
Changes
Added space button to planet window.
Changed hex grid color to darker gray.
Bugfix: java cmd line options: use -Xss32m instead of -Xss99m to prevent out of memory errors especially during saving and loading. Thanks to RSW.
Bugfix: Nova mod datafiles are supported.
Bugfix: loading of datafiles will log failures to read files.
Bugfix: java: loading and saving games will catch throwables.
Errors, exceptions and failures to read data files will be logged to phoenixlog.txt. Previous log will be saved to phoenixlog.txt.1.
