playing a bit of prospector again and greatly enjoying the latest build. Last time I played (somewhen in Setember?) the newest build was rather buggy and I had to revert to an older one, but this one is quite playable and the new features are great.
There's one thing that irks me a bit though, and that is that the tiles are so small on larger monitors. Sure I could just lower the screen resolution, but that tends to mess with my desktop.
Don't get me wrong, the issue is not so much the current tiles. They're beautiful! But they tend to be so small that I can't really appreciate their beauty. So I started to look through the data files a bit to see if Prospector defines the tilesize somewhere. My thought was that I could just scale the current tiles up a bit in Gimp (I wouldn't mind the resulting pixelated look. I looked at the tiles scaled up, and they should hold up to a bit of resizing), but I can't find a tilesize defined anywhere, so I must assume that it is fixed.
Maybe I overlooked something, if yes, where would the definition be? If not, could you imagine to make tilesizes dynamic in the future (I develop stuff myself, so I know that this usually isn't that much of a problem)?
Who knows, maybe somebdy will even make a nice hi-res tileset one rainy day if the option's there (probably not me though, I suck at art).
That said, I spotted a bug you might or might not already know of, although I have not been able to reproduce it reliably:
Sometimes when talking to people in the casino, Prospector throws an error and exits. Since there's always autosaving on stations it doesn't result in more loss than crew wages for redocking when loading the game again. On reloading the game, talking to the same person again will throw the error again.
In one case I had it hapen on selecting a specific dialog option when already talking to someone, but there I kind of expected it: The topic was "what do you know about QestGuy0?" which is obviously a bug when generating the topic ("I am error!" :lol: ), but in the other cases I have no idea what went wrong.
EDIT: before I forget, maybe it's a bug, maybe not. I just got married. No, I mean, my captain in prospector just got married. Is this mechanic intended to also apply to the player character? If yes, I'd actually like to know the name of the unlucky soon-to-be widow
