I have been offline for some years and I thought to check how was AA going. It is nice to see the game is still alive, and played. Also I was glad to meet some players from my time, still addicted.
Back to topic. I had a chance to try my old cockpit with the most recent Mac OS X alpha I could find on SourceForge, namely 0.4_alpha_z1965, and it was a pleasure to see it working exactly as it did on the 0.3.
It would be great if someone running a more recent alpha could confirm the well-being of the cockpit. Thank you in advance.
(A side note for Z-Man at al.: as far as I could tell the aforementioned alpha version works flawlessly on OS X 10.11.3, if it is of any interest.)
I had to change my repository account from rain to Rain to reconcile with my forums username, thus the folder in which the cockpit is stored too. You should not experience any problem loading the cockpit (unless some newer versions are case-sensitive, but they are not, are they?), but if you do, just change:
Code: Select all
COCKPIT_FILE rain/essential-0.0.5.aacockpit.xml
Code: Select all
COCKPIT_FILE Rain/essential-0.0.5.aacockpit.xml
I am also considering freshening it up, particularly after reading the 0.4 Cockpit Discussion, so if anyone is using it, or would like to, and have any suggestion or complaint, please make your voice heard.
Lastly, to answer the poor biobern with just 5 years of delay (apologies): yes, the font is in fact condensed a little within the cockpit file to make the debug tools' texts shorter. If anyone would like to retouch it, I can point them to the concerning lines.
