Having Problems with ships retreating Right away
 

retreat ring is smaller than were my ships start.

I.E. My ships are starting Combat outside the retreat ring.

Is there a setting I could change?

I am also asking the guys at se5@malfador.com. Just wanted to know if it was something I did. Which I am not sure I did do anything to mod a setting like that.

For now, try editing settings.txt, and increasing the Maximum combat radius by sqrt(2).

Space Combat Map Radius := 1500.0


Pythagoras 1, SE5 0.

Thanks. I change these two settings after you point them out. Thanks.

For those of you having the same problem change them to this.

Space Combat Maximum Zoom Out Distance := 150.0
Space Combat Map Radius := 1500.0

Re: Having Problems with ships retreating Right aw
 

As a note:
The zoom out distance is a camera thing, and has no effect on the physics of the combat.

Re: Having Problems with ships retreating Right aw
 

It does seem to effect what sound effects play, though. I don't get any unless I'm zoomed in fairly close.

Re: Having Problems with ships retreating Right aw
 

If you move the camera "north" farther, they will come into range better too...

But the best solution for sound is to do a global replace on max distance := 500 or more.
