Description

Combining #2082 and #1833 here:
Typo in the beginning

at the start it talks about a green light ... that is a red one

Issue: When entering the ship for the first time, the tutorial refers to the old HUD's locations on the screen. This needs to be updated.

description incorrect with new GUI
Shields in amber on the left screen side
Hitpoint system got added - Structure and armor HP bars to the left
Power (blue) and speed (green) on the right side

Issue: The Controller System is introduced by NPC-02 immediately after he explains he is going to show how weapons works. It makes sense to the developer, but to the user, it seems like NPC-02 totally forgot what he was saying. I would try to reword this.
Thats still a bit unclear and a player may get confused.
Issue: After placing 6 cannon modules (he calls them barrels, he should be calling them modules), maybe name them "cannon barrel modules" to make clear Controller -> Module and name of this module is Cannon barrel.

Crafting:
"craft generics" Button - > "Craft generic resources" Button ? or is the Refine Raw Material the target
you have to guess what it expects you to do (placing ores in Refine Raw Material slot )
pressing either button does not continue the tutorial

after placing Basic Factory
" Press the Production button.." - > its the "Change Production" Button
Issue: at one point NPC-02 reference to a gravity module to use in case of a problem. first .. there is no need to the room is small enough to jump anywhere ... and there is no Gravity module around anyway.

SmilingDemon moved this task from Unclassed to Issue affecting current release on the Starmade board.Jun 16 2015, 8:29 AM

From T223 - better description
The assignment after harvesting the two ores, the instruction window at the top right says to open inventory and click the 'craft generics' button while this has to be 'Refine Raw Materials'
The "craft generics resources" button and the "craft basic factory" button were also named incorrectly in the pop-up menu and the one at the top right.

It also says press the "production" button while it should be "change production".
The messages also talk about a "graph" button while this is called "view production recipe" or in other cases "View graph to <button name>"

This can be confusing (and annoying) as it breaks the tutorial for players that press the wrong buttons and can't proceed to the next stage of the tutorial.

How to reproduce:

do the tutorial
rush through it till you reach NPC-05
check all the button names that the tutorial wants you to use

sorry for further nitpicking ;)
Minor typo
NPC-002 Dialog :

On weapon linked weapons

In crafting

on exiting the tutorial and entering it again through the menu you can continue where you left.
BUT your inventory isnt stored again and you will keep everything you get from the tutorial guys, including the weapons

everything else from this Report was fixed

The transparency issue should be considered separate from the tutorial issues.

All other issues should be fixed now.

Everything typo etc. fixed including the transparency problem as part of T370 is guess.

But the reentering of the tutorial still gives you the ability to get a set of Weapons (no big deal i think, but depending on server setting not that great)
to reproduce

enter tutorial -- and exit it after spawning behind npc 00
enter tutorial through menu again - choose TutorialStartup
you will retain your original Inventory !
move through the station to the hand held weapons guy and talk to him. he gives aou a set of weapons
exit the tutorial and see that you still have those weapons
repeat 2.-5. as often as you like to accumulate weapons

a more critical problem i only just found while testing this:

enter tutorial
close game
restart and spawn (you are still in the Tutorial area)
restarting or exiting the tutorial will end in a game that isnt responding anylonger

AndyP shifted this object from the S1 Public space to the S3 Starmade space.Aug 11 2015, 10:55 PM

AndyP changed the edit policy from "Starmade (Project)" to "All Users".

AndyP set Task Type to Bug.

AndyP set OS-Specific to No.

AndyP set Hardware-Specific to No.

AndyP set Video Card Vendor to uncertain.

Found by Jananton:

the conversation by NPC 03 is wrong
he already talks about Cannon - Missile combo while he should get you to connect two cannon blocks to one cannon computer

First time this apears and everything that follows is wrong some how (because that is already the next task)
