Just lost some time to this and I really enjoyed it.
Glad to hear it - let me know if you face any problems or have any suggestions :D
Well it could use a tutorial, but it didn't take me long to figure out what's what. Has a very Starflight/Star Command vibe to it, which is a VERY good thing.
I'm having an issue:
Unhandled exception. System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The new console window size would force the console buffer size to be too large. (Parameter 'height')
Actual value was 50.
this is what i got before the window closed itself
Hi, assuming you're running on Windows, this problem should be fixable by doing the following:
This is all dependant on your monitor resolution though as Startron works best at resolutions above 1280x1024.
Alternatively, see the support section here for how to set the "squished" property in the startron.cfg file if this is not already happening by default.
Let me know if you get it sorted :)
i have a startron.runtimeconfig file, is it the same thing as starton.cfg? as it keeps mentioning that, but i dont have that file if it isnt the same
It's not the same file
startron.cfg either needs to be added manually, or is modified with the in-game options menu
Cool. :) And great productivity releasing new version every few days. This is nice example of how CI/CD project should look like.
