http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapage.html This RSS feed reports what's new on Stefan's VGA Planets page. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0055.html Uploaded some screenshots for PCC2. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0054.html Released PCC2 Beta 9 and PCC 1.1.18. PCC2 now includes the scripting engine. The console accepts commands, and you can run own scripts (commonly stored in .q files). The scripting language is 99% identical to the one from PCC 1.x, but some things are still missing. Beta 10 will close the gaps, and most likely add auto-tasks. The PCC2 language also includes some things PCC 1.x didn't yet have. Therefore, I updated PCC 1.x to include some of the new things, allowing you to write scripts that run in both versions. That, plus assorted bugfixes and minor improvements, makes up PCC 1.1.18. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0053.html Released PCC2 Beta 8. Beta 8 add's the first version of PCC's flagship feature: the script interpreter. With that, we'll get back useful features such as the console/calculator (Alt-C) and the universal search function (F7). The language implemented by PCC2's interpreter is almost the same as PCC 1.x's. However, its internals are completely different from the old version. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0052.html Released CCBSim 1.1.17.1. This release adds support for the recent PHost options EModPlanetaryTorpsPerTube and UseBaseTorpsInCombat. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0051.html Released PCC2 Beta 7. This release adds several new features bringing it closer to the state of the art of VGAP clients: There is now an interface for PHost commands. PCC2 can generate "remote" commands as well as "give ship" and "give planet". You can also create or edit most other PHost commands using the Auxiliary Commands window (Alt-E on race screen). PCC2 now also learned the indispensible Ship Specification display. You can invoke it from the ship screen, ship build screen, and visual scanner. The latter now also includes a useful list view which, like in PCC 1.x, can be sorted using the right mouse button or the '#' or '\' keys. In addition, the structure of the RSS feed was changed a little, for the better, I hope. Those who use RSS more than I do, please comment. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0050.html Updated the File Format List with new PHost and PCC2 information, and minor fixes. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0049.html Released PCC2 Beta 6. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0048.html The site's layout has been modernized a little. Most pages now feature a navigation bar. Some pages have been split for easier navigation. I've also added an article about web mine hit odds in Tim's host. More articles will follow. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0047.html Released PCC2 Beta 5. http://phost.de/~stefan/vgapnews.0046.html Released PCC2 Beta 4. The client is now really playable, and completely supports the PCC 1.x starchart database file format. I also threw in some new command-line programs and a help page.
