Meh. You know the drill. Fixed a bunch of s###.
- outf TechLevels of 32767 now get changed to 32766, with a note and warning in the log - ships now get a 1004 explosion only if DeathDelay is 60 or more - weaps ExplodTypes of 2 now get changed to 1002 - ships with < 100 shields now get no recharge - desc 1900 is now re-ID'd to 13999 - AlwaysPerses now get 100% probability - type 2 guidance weapons are now set to fire from guided exit points - oopses with MissionBits of 1xxx or 2xxx are now properly handled (Random = Freq, no extra bit check/set) - unused outf ModTypes now get set to -1
What's left: - doesn't recognize EVO 1.0.2 plug-ins - output log only works the first time, and never with drag and drop - dragging a file onto the SpacePort window gives...interesting results All of these are far more critical, and if I ever bother to fix them (frankly, I'm finding it hard to care :p), it'll be in 1.2.1. I've made a ton of non-critical additions and fixes since I first started work, and I'm looking forward to putting this sucker to rest.
Enjoy.
EDIT: New version! Now beta 4. Changes: - fixed the OutOfBoundsException when converting outfs - fixed the wrong shield recharge (it really is 0 now) when converting ships
EDIT2: New version. Fixed ModTypes/Vals 3 and 4 not getting -1, a minor divide-by-zero error in converting shield recharge, and armor not getting proper regen with shields < 100. Time to go eat dinner.

Sounds kewl, but what does it DO. Ive never heard of space port. I probably should have by now....lol. :laugh:
Awesome. Except I now get OutOfBoundsException whenever it tries to convert an outfit. Also, the ships with <100 shields are getting their original recharge value instead of zero.

Hmm, I'll look into it.

Ah, whoops. Simple fix.
chronodrago, it takes EV/O plug-ins and converts them to EVN format.

Ooh, I like the speed of things now Okay, the ModTypes (3 & 4) still aren't getting set to -1 though. Oh, and looking over my notes the precise details on the recharge should be ships with < 100 get 0 shield recharge with armor recharge being converted as normal except if they have 0 shields in which case armor recharge is 0 too. Wow, that's getting picky isn't it.
(EDIT) Just noticed the log shows weak = 30-50, strong = 75-80. Where did these numbers come from? In the port I've just assumed weak = 25, strong = 50.

Ah, kewl...thanks
Im trying to convert Frozen Heart at the moment... prays its gonna work
Erm, on second thoughts I'll leave that to someone else!

Been there, done that It was a while ago though on an older version of SpacePort (plus a lot of work) so it will have a bunch of minor things that haven't been converted properly but it does play right through. The biggest issue is that it's pre-1.0.2 (had to go through with a spreadsheet and fix everything up after conversion) but I also made note of a few other things which needed to be changed that SpacePort can't help with: • Mission 231 "Restore Worlds" should be made available only on Earth, otherwise can't get it there at all as Nova won't allow missions with non-specific availstels to be available in same system as travel or return stel. • Govt 178 "ComNet Satellite" should be made able to be hailed, otherwise can't get mission 225 "Rescue Anila". • Opening braces '{' in desc 5097 should be removed, otherwise the rest of the text will not be displayed. In addition, I caught some errors in the original data.

Erm, the 'normal' way to convert armor is to give it the same recharge as shields, unless the 'no armor regen' checkbox is set.
Just noticed the log shows weak = 30-50, strong = 75-80. Where did these numbers come from? In the port I've just assumed weak = 25, strong = 50.
Erm, where? As far as I know, weak always = 25, and strong always = 50. Where does it show weak and storn in the log at all?
By the way, why exactly are we ditching armor regen?

Yeah, it's just the EVO engine has some odd quirks with regen. If a ship has less than 100 shields then they don't regen (but armor still does). If it has 0 shields then armor doesn't regen either. Hm, maybe we should have just ignored all this. It does seem a bit obsessive to convert it now I think about it. Meh, I'll leave it to you but it's either all or nothing.
ECM Jamming Types: 30 - 50 is Weak 75 - 80 is Strong   0x0001 Weak Type I jamming   0x0002 Weak Type II jamming   0x0004 Weak Type III jamming   0x0008 Weak Type IV jamming   0x0010 Strong Type I jamming   0x0020 Strong Type II jamming   0x0040 Strong Type III jamming   0x0080 Strong Type IV jamming

Oh, I see, it gives armor recharge equal to what the ship should have. Okay, fixed.
My computer is telling me this new version is classic app ??? Runs fine regardless though. Anyway, outfits now open in Rezilla! Armor recharge is still zero but honestly I've decided we should have ignored this crap and I don't care anymore. Just add the new cron bits to the log, I think they're fairly important. Then all it needs is some docs

That happens with RB4. It's very unpredictable. Sometimes it says it's Classic but isn't, sometimes it really is Classic despite me setting it to compile as Carbon (I think it also just says application sometimes when it's Classic), and sometimes it doesn't add the icon.
Come to think of it, this only happens with SpacePort. shrugs

Did you uncheck the "no armor regen" checkbox?

As in, note that it uses b1000 or whatever? Or that it was converted? I was planning on doing the latter, but I could do both.

How odd. Disappeared when I made a duplicate of it though.
My apologies, you're quite correct
Yeah, the bits used so that the user will know to avoid those if they plan on making additions to it. Both would be fine
I'll make a compatible EV data file shortly that you can include. (edit) Well the EV side of conversion has issues of its own (namely outfits don't open in Rezilla again) and I really don't want to investigate anything further, especially since I can't run the original EV to verify things. So rather than convert a new data file entirely with SpacePort I've just changed the govt classes, ship speed, and added booms to make the existing data compatible. Unfortunately it's just a couple of k over 100 so I can't attach it.
