question regarding hyperspacejumps, i get confused because i play both vgap4 and vgap3
* [[User talk:ChallengeSpaceYard/February 2012|February 2012]]
when hyperjumping in vgap3 do you end up at the end of the max range of hyperjump distance regardless how far u set the waypoint indicator? for example: the falcon hyperjump ring indicates a circle of 350 lyrs. but i only want to hit a planet at 302 lyrs. will i end up at the planet? or 38 lyrs beyond? additionally does warp movement occur after the hyper jump or before? or notall during hyperjumps? thanks for your answers in advance. will write the wiki page on this once i know the facts. --Protomatter 19:47, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

:In Planets 3, you usually jump a flat 350ly (regardless of ship), but you can jump to a planet anywhere between 340 and 360ly. Therefore, with the 302 example, you would end up in space. Hyperjumping overrides standard movement, and your warp factor will be zeroed out after movement. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 00:34, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

== Race template inclusions ==
Me again, since i cant recall on how to build tables etc, id like to see if i could bother you to add a climate template to the player races pages. basically a slide thermomenter that probably should go along the rignt side of the race picture. red means colonists die at this temp, yellow means livable but no growth. and green means livable but with growth. would be nice to see the climate likes of the races to better improve the game. see example

On the plus side, backups aren't backups unless you know you can restore them - it was a good dry run.  I could have gone with the old db tree and attempted to repair it, but since splitting the InnoDB tablespace into individual files required a dump/reimport anyway, I decided to go with that and knock out two birds at once - testing backups, and doing some tweaking. I also tripled the transaction log file size, which started out the ruckus. [[User:Rbos|Rbos]] 03:19, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
You'll notice some weirdness - I'm moving stuff onto a new server, and mediawiki is getting dragged along with a minor upgrade. Hopefully doesn't break tooooo much but do let me know, rbos@novylen.net. [[User:Rbos|Rbos]] ([[User talk:Rbos|talk]]) 10:52, 25 May 2013 (PDT)


:Looks great. When I noticed my changes disappeared, I initially thought I simply forgot to submit it. Once I found out that other changes were missing, then I noticed that something went astray. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 05:51, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
:I see that the ship list tables are currently broken. I'll have to study the tables and see if I can convert them to the "wiki table" format, which is all well and good. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] ([[User talk:ChallengeSpaceYard|talk]]) 12:21, 25 May 2013 (PDT)

::I re-added the inline substitution stuff, and for some reason the tables had a blue background. Explicitly set it to white. Bit of a hack. [[User:Rbos|Rbos]] ([[User talk:Rbos|talk]]) 14:36, 25 May 2013 (PDT)
Went to edit comments in the Aries Class transport to include alchemy information, next thing i know unknowingly to me i appear to be editing the ship template instead. please look over the template and see how bad i messed it up. --Protomatter 18:45, 30 June 2012 (UTC)


:You did initially mess it up, but you've done well in cleaning up the mess. Considering the visibility of the template, and the number of pages it is used on, I have protected that template from further editing. All you have to do is type in information to each of the various ''arguments''. I've updated the [[Aries Class Transport|Aries]] example so that you can view its source. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 19:06, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
:Some ship pages had broken images; I went through, loaded all the ship pages, and saved them. That fixed it.


: awesome thankyou for the fix and ease to edit.--Protomatter 03:16, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
:Fixed the Math extension.
