v0.90a Bug Report Thread

Custom weapon names returning to defaults when ship is re-loaded into Shipmaker.

Edit: Changed 'not appearing' to 'returning to defaults' in order to clarify.

Windows ctrl key is held still when ship maker launches BS.

Aegis shield with depthing is still very buggy. Produces errors in form of either misplaced or missing shield; or error dialogue in BF or missing parenting line in ship maker.

Changing orientation of a booster module in ship maker has no effect due to it's targeting capability.

When in direct control mode, you can't zoom in or out. When exiting direct control mode, it zooms automatically to the level you zoomed in direct control mode.

Oh...and somehow I managed to start adding doodads to the core. I think you should be able to do this by default, not indirectly!

[AnnihilatorX]

For section with animation that moves after a rotation with respect to a parent origin, the absolute target position and angle settings are no longer accurate.

e.g. section at (30,0) rotate 90 degrees CW about (0,0) becomes (0,-30). If you want it then to move to -30,-30, you can't specify in ED2 for the move to be -30,-30. It will move off in some other direction after rotation.

EDIT:
I found out how it works.
Not so much as a bug, may be useful to note it in future documentations.
The setting for direction is the target angle facing + rotation angle. So in the above example the correct setting for movement angle would be (270 + 90) mod 360 = 0.
But the target X and Y is before rotation and not to be trusted in such case.

You get an error if you open a ship with a ship deployer on it. You can ignore it with no issues.
___________________________________________
ERROR in

Error in function real().


Also, selecting the ship deployer will set its ship field to 0.

I can't seem to locate the reason why they won't move. Triggers are not used.

is movement enabled?

Yes. It moves just fine in Preview.

I was asked to post my sb4.
Here it is.
Not the one I was actually working with, but I believe it is an identical copy (I copied the file on Thursday morning so I could show a friend).

[Artman40]

Oh...and when taking a direct control of the ship, I'm able to penetrate the (side) borders of the screen by gently approaching the border and then slamming into it!

[lightstriker]

Min and max target sizes don't work.

[FIREST0RM000]

The tool-tip for bullet speed in SM still says something about percentages.

not really a glitch, but thruster EX's don't activate based on rotation. looks sort of odd when a ship rotates with no visible thrust. also, when decelerating, forward thrusters should be firing, not rear.

I'll post any other tool-tip bugs here.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Only old weapons can have their projectiles changed to custom sprites,new weapons will revert to default projectiles when in game.

[derekiv]

Weapons and modules are by default shown above all sections and doodads, but you can toggle depthing on them by pressing W while a weapon or doodad is selected. This will make them behave like doodads in regards to depth.

Minor mistype in the F1 help guide.

[SHAD0Wdump]

If an allied ship in sandbox mode skirmish is destroyed,the mission will end with a 'Mission failed,Your fleet has been destroyed' prompt.

[FIREST0RM000]

there are lots of exploits with DC mode. for example, while the game is paused, your ship can still move + rotate, as well as deploy your key command based triggers.

And recharge energy in modules.

Demeter drones have 1000 deviation and 0 range

Burst also seems to be a little screwed up. 16?
