My notebook is old Samsung NP300V5A with dual videocards. NVIdia one is good enough.
I still have old issue that I cannot run game further from start menu: http://www.hazeron.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2568
So game switching to integrated videocard which not support needful OpenGL version.

I did fix that issue before by replacing file steam_api64.dll so its related to steam integration.
Cannot use that trick now with updated steam integration. Did tried all measures mentioned in old post to enforce using the NVIdia videocard, but that not helps.
I suppose, it may be system incompatibility, as I still have unsupported Windows 7.
Maybe switching to Linux will help me, but last time I tried to run Hazeron at Linux Mint, game is not even start (got Running... and stop).

Before we begin, a little story. I got my first taste of 3D modeling when Shores of Hazeron was still an MMO and free-to-play, on the early OpenCascade designer test-thing. Since then I've gained some experience with Blender. So now I feel full of myself and qualified to suggest improvements to Hazeron's designer.

Anyway, without further ado, here are some tools and changes that i feel would improve the 3D modeling experience of the designer:

Make Face
The most basic 3D modeling feature in existence. Takes a set of selected verts and forms a face between them, creating edges as necessary. This should be doable with a single keybind.
Similarly, there should be a keybind for pulling (or ripping) a set of vertices apart.

Edge Slide
I would argue this is a really basic tool. Slides selected vertices along connecting edges. If multiple connected verts are selected, they are slid in a common direction (edges are slid along faces).

Face Cut multi-cut
Add a keybind to the Face Cut operation to start a new cut without finalizing the current operation. If snap-to-verts is on, the cursor should snap to the end points of the cut preview lines. Allow multiple disconnected cuts with one operation.
In addition, Face Cut should not create unnecessary edges and faces. If the cut can be performed using only the lines the user has defined, then Face Cut should limit the edges to that.
If possible, Face Cut should stick to the mesh surface. It makes no sense to allow points to be lifted off the mesh.

Plane Cut
Takes a 2d line and projects it as a cut through the entire mesh along a selected plane. Edges are created on all faces where the cut intersects the mesh, and verts on the intersections of edges.

Inset Face
Either as a standalone tool or an extension to push/pull. Takes a set of selected faces and insets them, together or individually, and creates a loop of faces around the perimeter.

Bevel
Takes a set of verts/edges and bevels them, with configurable number of loops on the bevel. Ideally also a choice of shapes (Flat, Superellipse). Triangles are formed if the bevel is not continuous and ends anywhere at an intersection.

Merge Verts by Distance
Blender has this and it's an incredibly useful tool for cleaning stuff up. Merges (selected) verts based on a configurable distance, collapsing shared edges and faces.

Improvements to selection
A toggle to limit selection to mesh elements which face the camera.
Another which makes faces act opaque to the selection tools, only permitting elements which aren't obscured by faces to be selected.
Currently, holding ctrl only inverts the selection of elements in face mode. This is spectacularly annoying.

• Shift + Click/Drag should always add mesh elements to selection.
  
• Ctrl + Click/Drag should always remove them.
  
• Without modifiers, Click/Drag should always replace the current selection.
  

The diplomacy window (accessed from its tab in the F12 UI and through the dedicated sidebar button) doesn't seem to always update whenever things are changed, causing it to display old dossier/stance information:

• Changing your stance towards an empire doesn't appear to do anything, because the window doesn't update
  
• Adding notes doesn't update the window, even though a confirmation message is sent
  
• Sending a diplomatic message doesn't update the window, even though a confirmation message is sent
  

• Changing war policy
  
• Changing contact stance
  
• Changing the status of any dossier event
  

Ship in Stasis
My ship was destroyed. I was the captain so it should have remained in stasis until I could recover it. I hailed the ship but there was no answer.

Fixed hail reply from ship in stasis.

Recovery of Ship in Stasis
Went to an aircraft repair shop to have them recover my destroyed ship. They happily said it was recovered but it wasn't. My ship did not appear overhead in orbit like it was supposed to.

Fixed.

.CHR File Bug
An error occurred because of a .chr file that got saved without the .chr extension.

Fixed .chr file saver to append the .chr extension if it is not provided.

Program Settings FPU Info
Information was added to the bottom of the program settings window that shows the FPU configuration.

This only appears on the Windows versions. If you have experienced the yeet bug, please tell me what your FPU bits of precision are.

Empire Flag
The diplomacy window now shows a large representation of the selected empire’s flag.

Ideas for AI empires

1. pre-industrial competing tribe of the same species on your own planet -> need knifes and armor (and perhaps bows/spears) to fight them, absorbed/defeated during earlygame (starter planet)
(would however require hring troops without spacecraft, perhaps with a sailship in addtion to sailboat?) - like the tribal and or civilisation eras in Spore

2. non-spacefaring industrial or pre-industrial civilisation on another planet (1 planet)

3. friendly/neutral (early or advanced) spacefaring alien race (default neutral) (max 5 planets), taht needs help against nr 4. 

4. warlike spacefaring alien civ, but reasonable enemy that can be hostile and friendly (xenophobic, default enemy) (max 10 planets - 5 systems)

5. severe threat to all other species - no diplomacy possible (harvesters or Galactic Empire type, default enemy) (only heavily defended homeplanet in other distant galaxy (not directly accessible from SoH), captures or destroys all others)

6. race who built ringworlds or their remnants?

7. tribal civ, (maybe other race than your own) for henge form story

If planets become overun, you could flee and come back later with a bigger force to liberate them.

Discovering them could all be tied to the story


If playing as non-human, humans could perhaps be either of the 4 others, including the severe threat

Game Save
Game saves were not working on Windows.

Fixed.

Build Limits
Someone asked that size limits on spacecraft and buildings be eliminated.

Eliminated size limits on buildings and spacecraft. Specifically this refers to byte size limits, the amount of memory the thing takes. Physical dimension limits were not changed. 

You still get a warning when the size limit is exceeded but it never turns into an error.

Beware that you can now build models that are too complex for your computer or perhaps someone else's computer. While your computer may be able to handle a single instance of your gigantic ship or building model, it could bog down quite quickly if you create many of them.

Random Flag Generator
This has been on my list forever. When testing I usually don't care too bad. AI controlled emperors need this.

Flag chooser created that allows flags to be loaded from a file or generated randomly.

Mission Order Icons
Mission order window uses a generic sun icon to represent a black hole.

Changed mission orders to use an icon based on body type for suns and worlds. Also updated city lists to show bases with a different icon.

Quarry Shows Non-Stone
It is confusing to have the quarry show non-stone resources when it can't mine them.

Fixed.

Cantinas have way too much HP. While Brood Defenders appear to have a similar or more HP, they can be destroyed by RNG in a few shots or after a minute or three of blasting away. The pirate cantinas however do not have this feature. Crew, even with berserk activated, and an officer at the con will not attack the cantina.

Image below is from over an hour and a half of blasting, I coded a toggle autoclicker and returned home to see that it had only made a dent.

Also an old one, but still present.

The Character Profile Save for an Alien race ist hard to load.

While the selection dialogue does filter for .chr files, it doesn't show any. The name of the last saved file is usually still in the selection, so that can be loaded. 

But if you type that exact name in there, the file can not be loaded.

I had a System crash the other day, when I started Hazeron up today I got messages about damage and awoke in my starter city. The Spaceship was apparently destroyed as well. No mails.

After trying to restore it at the Airport Repair shop, the Message came up that the ship is beeing restored and will hail in the crew channel.
After more than twice the time it takes to build the ship no messages came, no ship spawned in orbit.

Tried this twice.

Also the officer from that ship didn't respawn.

I'd report more, but then I made the mistake of trying to load the game from a save....

So sometimes Hazeron causes a hard System crash for  me . The monitors will display a random color screen , the gpu will be in overdrive and only the power button helps.

I suspect it has to do with geometry issues. Happens a lot with tiny planets, Gas Giant cores , but also at other times.
