Stargate Command 1.1.2 - Nine chevron addresses can be dialed by hand
A fix to manual dialing. Worth updating if you use remote destinations.
Remote machines can be dialed by hand
Remote destinations get a nine chevron address, and you could already set one
yourself in MANAGE. But the DHD only ever accepted six symbols, so the one kind
of destination that most invites dialing by hand was the one kind you could not
reach.
It was quietly misleading about it, too. DIAL lit up at six symbols, so entering
six of a remote's eight looked finished, dialed a seven chevron address that
matched nothing, and reported NO SUCH ADDRESS. Nothing suggested the address was
simply unfinished.
The gate does not ask up front how far you are dialing, so neither does this
any more. Six symbols is a seven chevron address and dials. Keep pressing and a
seventh leaves it incomplete, an eighth completes it as a nine chevron address,
and the tray grows to match.
The destination readout tells the truth
It followed whatever was selected in the registry rather than what you were
actually dialing, so hand-dialing a remote while a program happened to be
selected would cheerfully name the program instead.
