Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

I suspect you blew all the mines away than, but the icon should disappear or you might need to go and unset that area as a mine field. Do we still have that ability in SE5, to mark known minefields? As for the screen shot; the way I do it is to take the shot (Ctrl + Print Screen) then paste it into a pic editing software. I use PhotoStudio 5.5 (the program I did your rank with) but Windows paint works just as well. I suggest saving the photo as something other than a bmp though to conserve size and upload/download time. Speaking of your rank Sergeant comes at 200 so PM me around 190 and I will fix it up.

Hi PES! I took the print the same way, I just slapped it into word without thinking about it really. Many games have the ability to save a screenshot as a jpg to the game directory and I couldn't remember if SEIV or V allowed this. Would be nice if it did! Thanks for the avatar help!!

Ed, no this is a neutral that finally threw his sucker in the dirt and declared war on me... took him long enough <lol>.
This is from an old save from 1.17, not even playing really, just BS'ing around to learn the game and check for bugs. Looks like Aaron addressed quite a few issues with this patch, although that fleet splitting bug still irritates the bejeepers out of me, at least I can rejoin them now.

Is this only happening in you saved game, or have you tried a brand new 1.20 game?

Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

There is a problem with minefield marking. When your ships successfully SWEEP the mines, the sector should NOT be marked as a minefield -- you just cleared it! This is a mistake. We should request that MM change this so that only when all ships are destroyed with an unknown number of mines remaining should that automatic flagging be triggered.

Why would you paste it into Word, of all things?
Paint is right there, for pictures.

Sometimes we just do *things* SJ. I wouldn’t try to over think it myself. StarJack’s cool and like me he probably uses it to spell check and has a page open most of the day.

Perhaps he just did a cut and paste out of his diary entry for the day.

Re: the minefields. I belive what has been encountered are the GHOSTS of minefields. Initially the ships wouldn't enter because they were afraid. Logical.

Becoming ticked off with Steam - still no patch up there yet. I suspect it hasn't sold very well on Steam judging by the absolute death of the forum there. One post since November - complaining about the lack of the 1.20 patch.

Tough crowd! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Close to what PES said. I use it a lot with work and it's always a quick click away, didn't even think about it until someone mentioned it.

Kana, this was in a 1.17, but I have confirmed it leaves the stars behind in 2.0 as well even tho the minefield was used up damaging my ships.
