Thanks for the feedback so far. Stars-nova is still defininately at a developmental stage so thanks for persisting with its idosyncracies in order to give me some feedback.
Yes, you will get an error message the first time you start the component editor, until I get around to making it smart enough to find the component file on its own.
Edit/Browse mode. Yes, this is not fully implemented as you can still begin editing in 'browse' mode. The key diference is that in browse mode changing the component type, selects the list of components of that type, while chaning it in edit mode changes the type of the current component. Does that make sense? Is there a better way I could do that? Eventually browse mode should be all you get 'in-game' as a technology browser, with edit mode only available in the stand alone component editor.
Also note that 'saving' your component changes just copies the form data to the in memory version of the component file, not to disk. If you want to save a change for good you need to save the component file.
Any typographical stuff like 'Supper Stealth' please let me know so I can fix it. I've probably looked at it too many times to notice otherwise.
You should be able to modify the race restrictions by selecting Component->Race Restrictions from the menu. A few other restrictions are available as properties, e.g. radiation.
The source code is on sourceforge if you browse the file downloads, in the folder stars-nova\June 2009\, or folow this link. I don't plan to use subversion until/unless I have a few more people working on it. I am still learning my way around the new source forge file management, so things are a bit disorganised.
Have fun.Report message to a moderator
