Improved interpreter Fixed some crashes http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0067.html Updated File Format List. This update brings a little PCC2 information. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0066.html Added c2nuvcr, a Perl program that can import VCRs from planets.nu into PlayVCR, making watching VCRs a little more fun. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0065.html Released PCC2 Beta 16. Added Auto Tasks (Enter on control screens). Enter commands for your ships in advance! Added warrior information. Improved nav chart: set up chunnels, more warp circles, ... Improved interpreter: up to 3x faster http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0064.html Updated timeline with 2010/2011 versions. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0063.html Released PCC2 Beta 15. Added ship history screen (F6). This helps a lot in observing enemy movement. Added global actions. Added help system. It currently contains only brief help, the same text as the overview file included with PCC2, but is expected to grow. As usual, a heap of fixes and improvements are included as well, including one important fix to movement mispredictions. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0062.html Released PCC2 Beta 14. This release adds a ton of information functions: Detailed Bill ('d' on ship build screen) Combat Diagram (Tab on VCR selection) Population prediction on taxation, PHost-only Imperial Statistics Fleet Cost Comparison (Ctrl+C on simulator) The simulator can now simulate planets with experience, which is required for the current PList. In addition, I added the usual fixes and improvements. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0061.html Released PCC2 Beta 13. This release's topic is messages: first, it fills the biggest gap that PCC2 was still having: it adds a message parser. This means you can now sensibly use PCC2 with Tim's host. Unlike PCC 1.x's message parser, PCC2's is controlled by a .ini file. This makes it easy to add own templates (although the syntax is not yet set in stone). As an example, PCC2 can now plot the "Ship tonnage sunk" score sent by PHCc, and the "PTScore used" score sent by PTScore. While at it, I also improved the message handling GUI in PCC2, so it now includes all features we know and love from PCC 1.x, and I threw in a c2mgrep command line utility. I have also updated the fonts. PCC2 now has most fonts in regular and bold-face, allowing for some nice graphical effects. The usual heap of fixes and improvements is included as well. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0060.html Prepared a Debian package containing PCC2 beta 12. It should work on every x86 (i386) Debian or Ubuntu system which has the packages libsdl1.2debian-all, libsdl-image1.2, and libstdc++5 installed.
