Hey, um, forgive me if someone's already mentioned this somewhere in the last 75 pages, as I didn't feel like reading that much, but I keep getting error messages in the latest version, and I could live with most of them, up till this latest one.
Whenever I try to spawn this ship, the game keeps telling me there's an error on lines 4 and 6 regarding image angle or rotangle or something like that. I'm sure you're still working on debugging the game, so could you look into that plz?
I don't know if someone has already asked this, but, for some reason, when I download v. 90b, the shipmaker is the older version, before v. 90a with all the old weapons and the old interface. Any explanation or help?

Why people keep posting stuff like this here I just don't get... Did you download this? It should be current, if not are you sure your not installing it wrong and opening up the old version?
*edit* Your right, I wish the troubleshooting thread was still open, but you could post it in its own thread instead of one with a given purpose, just a suggestion. Although if you had downloaded a version that said .90b and was really .89 or something, that would probably be appropriate to put in the bugs thread since its them that would fix it. Read the post above yours to understand the frustration about this post.

v0.90c
- Added EMP Torpedo*
- Added Flaregun†
- Fixed target acquisition behaviour for non-rotating HVRs using launch arc to fire homing shots (if you don't get what that means, don't worry)
- Fixed bullet sprite errors for arty/tacnuke/flashbolt
- Fixed burst fields in a number of weapons in SM to default to 1
- Fixed some minor errors in SM
- Added sidebar icons for the weapons (thanks to BizzarreCoyote from the IRC channel for fixing these up!)
- Added three new sounds for the EMP Torpedo, made by cycerin
- Added the ability to paste parameters between modules, including full support for ThrusterEx special settings‡
- Clarified the "thrust" field in Shipmaker to make it more obvious that it controls acceleration
- Tweaked the code for the Vulcan Cannon so that it animates fast enough for it's rate of fire
- Fixed shot spawn positions for the Twin Autocannon and Twin Blaster
*The EMP Torpedo functions like a mix between the Frosch and the Torpedo - it's a slow-moving tracking projectile that stuns the target on impact. The EMP Torpedo's stun duration is fixed, rather than dependent on the target's size.
†The Flaregun launches special armour-cased transmitters that make PD think they're very dangerous targets. The Flaregun is physically incapable of damaging enemy ships itself, but a well placed flare and luck can be all it takes to get a killer torpedo shot in.
‡Works the same way as normal. Select the module you want to transfer parameters from, right click on the module you want to transfer parameters to, and hit the relevant menu option.
As a sidenote the parameter pasting for modules is a quick hack, so don't do anything stupid like trying to paste weapon or section parameters to a module. It won't crash or anything, but the module will be all broken and you'll need to restat it.
