v0.90c Bug Reports - READ FIRST POST

When a ship with layering and guns that are Under some part takes the "Reinforce" bonus it warps away and back. But then its layering is gone and guns are a mess. Has no effect on the game but looks ugly.

i get that emptorpedo error when ever i put emptorps on the enemy ai (stock color red ai) allied is fine just enemy.

Enemy EMP torps cause a single error when the projectile is destroyed, but multiple errors when they hit a target ship.

So, I just decided to update the game at the cohertion of a friend of mine, and now the game will not run past 5 fps, it absolutely refuses to, this is just a blank scene with nothing on it, or even the main menu. It did not do this before, and I am unsure as to the cause. I am running Windows vista and any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's possible my copy of BSF may be screwed up, because the startup screen is messed up sometimes, but I'm assuming that's not the reason for any of these problems, mainly because they both involve shipmaker.

1) Sometimes the section name on the sidebar sticks, so all the sections have the same name (eg. Kae_sec44), then, when I open the ship with a new shipmaker window, all of the sections are the section it was stuck on (eg. Kae_sec44), instead of being the section they're supposed to be.

2) Ship deployer ship selection resets when you click off of the ship deployer. This essentially means ship deployers don't work.

Ship Maker will not load these following from an sb4:


Ship Deployer Module paths, hence requiring the designer to set them every time after opening an sb4.

Very long ship descriptions, again requiring the designer to rewrite them every time the sb4 is loaded.

*unconfirmed* Somehow forget some trigger targets.

Edit

Confirmed: Sm4 does not load On Trigger 2 or Off Trigger 2 targets.

SM belches on ships with Flareguns as follows:

1: Flaregun sprite replaced with spr_Bridge.

2: Clicking one and hitting Edit does this.

But, I have a Mac and I use CrossOver, and it didn't work... I was SO disappointed! I know it's not your fault, it's CrossOver's.

Actually, im quite sure its Game Maker, the game development environment BSF is made with. Im afraid Game Maker simply does not work on Mac, and theres nothing we can do about it.

I tried that too and had the exact same problem. It might be CrossOver, it might be GM, IDK. Might be some combination of the two... Messing with some bottle settings fixed the main game for me, but SM stayed messed up, so I gave up on trying.

Please learn to read;

There are some minor bugs in SM, so make sure you grab the hotfix!

I thought th15 packed an updated SM in with 0.90d, but apparently not? Hotfix is here.

Thanks, it works

When trying to open my new ship;

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Key Press Event for O-key Key
for object obj_sidebar:

In script loadShip:
In script oReadParams:
In script nSecD:
In script updateMovtarget:
Error in code at line 98:
ms_mcounter = ceil(ms_startdist/ms_aspeed)

at position 40: Division by 0.

When I hit 'ignore' I get like...a quarter of the entire ship, my cursor is gone and whenever I press the left button it shows the same message again. Things repeat when I hit 'ignore' again. I think I know what's wrong, though; I fiddled with movement parameters and it let me do something that isn't theoretically possible: change the rotation speed without changing frames elapsed. I thought the changes were so fine (in the 0.00's) that it just didn't show but apparently I broke it. Any way to solve this?

[Arcalane]

Your best bet is to yoink some unmodified movement data from another section and paste it over the offending section's movement data in notepad or somesuch.

[ArcaneDude]

Allright, I'll try that. Thanks for the tip.

- Division by 0 errors when entering sandbox. If you're experiencing these, putting Sbsurfsize 'Sbsurfsize = 2048' below 'Surfaces' in bfconfig.ini should fix it.

Comes back after I add it to the top of the bfconfig file, then run BSF twice. Apparently BSF rewrites the file with the surfaces variable right at the bottom, then next runtime stops reading the file somewhere before the last line. Going to try locking the file read-only, but I expect it to go BAWWW at it, then go tits up.

EDIT:

Code: Select all

Beam "Holes" when using a custom sprite, it keeps doing this on every weapon.

However, on AD's BSF this works completely fine, no holes, and the beam sprite works perfectly.

Is it just my BSF? or my video card?

Happened to me as well when using the laser pointer beam for, well, a laser pointer.
