Reporting a bug in Star Wolves 3

Here's a little typo fix that's been bugging me ever since I first played the game - it's the AMS modules' descriptions. All 4 of them claim that "Missile intercept efficiency: 10" but this is incorrect, game data has different values. (It also doesn't make sense to have 4 duplicates of the same item...)

Okay ladies and gents, launch Notepad and load this file: \Data\LocData\English\m_modules.loc. This file contains plaintext descriptions of items so you won't screw it up if you make a mistake. Probably. Maybe. Make a backup copy of this file and save it in a different folder.

1) Search for "; AMS" (no quotes).
2) You will see 4 items with 4 lines each. The first line for each item is the #M_Name_AMSn, where n is 1 to 4: Boxer, Gladiator, Berserk, Cerberus.
3) Look at their 4th lines, the ones that begin with #M_LDesc_AMSn. These are the ones you need to fix. Btw, Boxer is fine (10), so you only need to edit 3.
4) Gladiator: edit the description to read "... Missile intercept efficiency: 20."
5) Berserk: edit the description to read "... Missile intercept efficiency: 30."
6) Cerberus: edit the description to read "... Missile intercept efficiency: 40."
7) Save, you're done.

Edit:
Threw in a screenshot but I doubt you'll need it, this is a very simple edit. Ignore the screwed up file path in my text editor, I'm not using English regional settings.

Trucidation, thanks! It's a pity that you're the only one concerned about fixing the bugs, it seems

No problem, the ones here are just typo fixes, other guys did the heavy stuff... it's a great series, we need more space sims which aren't simply shooting games. I really hope they plan to release more titles

How can I report this bug, it involves modding

If you assign a sound to a rocket by giving the name of a sound file in <work_sound> inside \Data\Game\Rockets.xml, game will play the sound but crash to desktop immediately when the rocket hits target.

Also, rocket launch sound is hardcoded to point to "s_rocket_launch.wav". Can we please have this as a tag instead, for example engines have <start_engine_sound> tag. It sounds boring to have all rockets share same launch sound. I want to make torpedo launches sound more... manly.

Hi guys,

Where do I report a forum bug? I noticed this when I started tagging threads. Apparently the "tag.png" image isn't referenced to properly by the forum, so we get all those ugly "X" (image not found) placeholders instead (see screenshot).

Thanks!

Not an error-creating bug, but still an obvious mistake. Inside sector XT-26 the location of portals to XT-23 and XT-93 are swapped by mistake.

If you look at global map, XT-93 is northeast from XT-26, and XT-23 is southwest from XT-26. However, inside XT-26 the location of these portals is the wrong way around - XT-93 portal is in southwest instead of northeast, and XT-23 portal is northeast instead of southwest.
