v0.9 Bug Report Thread

This thread is for reporting bugs with the newest release.

Remember that when posting bugs, you have to include as much info as possible. Circumstances, reproduction steps, common parameters, settings, your system info, etc. If a bug is specific to a certain ship or can be demonstrated with one, include .sb4 and .shp . If a ship uses custom sprites, remember to include these, too.

If you are reporting a new bug, you are allowed to double (and more, if necessary) post. Actually, its even better if you do.

Please post only if you have something useful to add.

On any keyboard press as long as this ship is in play.
Two sections are set to move on comma press and stop moving after ten frames.
One Twin Autocannon is set to enable and later disable on comma press.

Kaelis edit: This happens with key triggers, so don't use them for now.

Linear movement sections triggered to move via Weapon Targetting.

Sections move correctly in Preview mode when 'W' is pressed.

However, ingame movements seem to follow default linear movement targets instead.

Edit:

In windowed mode, with the options Shimmer, Gradient and Interpolate turned off, an empty sandbox is incredibly laggy. The framerate sits between 12~19 and the mouse/interface takes some time to response.

However, the splash screen melee and campaign/skirmish modes do not suffer this slowdown. Only Custom Game/ Sandbox incurs this.

Edit 2:

I've checked out all the options. It seems turning off SURFACES in the options fixes the Sandbox lag. All the other options have no effect. Something in the Sandbox takes up a lot of Surface features.

No idea what I did to get this. The button still works though.

in an attempt to figure out how to get something to rotate CCW I set the "CCW Frames" entry box to 0 (it said it ranged from 0 to 9000) and the shipbuilder crashed.

In script resetRotation:

Setting CCW Rot speed to 0 puts a 36000 in rot ccw frames (and a 0.01 in rot speed), clicking that box re-defaults it to 9000 (and rot speed to 0.04).

I'm assuming it has something to do with that section, though exactly what is lost on me

EDIT: I figured out a way around it. I just used a differently named piece that was identical. It works now!

Attempting to move a default horizontal "slide" to a vertical, I changed the target X location first:

Editing because I'm awesome like that.

Attempting to load this ship (SB4) gets me this error:

Triggers are generally fubar, don't use them. Movement and rotation don't quite work properly in the game yet but they work well enough in the SM.

Sections that have a weapon driver (aka making them turrets) cannot have any other sections parented to them. If placed in the game, an error such as this:

ERROR in
action number 1
of Other Event: User Defined 3
for object ShipSection:

Error in code at line 12:

(tr_ontype != 0 || tr_offtype != 0) ) then

at position 5: Unknown variable tr_ontype

Will occur.

Also, the L hotkey does not work in shipbuilder so weapon drivers must be assigned manually. Same goes for mirroring.

:cry:

It seems that the only person who has successfully made good use of triggers and drivers is SWS.

Two very minor bugs:

- The new cool guns have old sprites when selected by pressing the "select all offensive turrets (N)" button in the sandbox. Actually selecting single turrets shows the right sprite again.

- The Particle Rifle is called Pulse Gun in-game

A pair/four-pack of known bugs for the pile;

- Twin Blaster and Twin Autocannon shots spawn from the wrong positions at the moment.
- Twin Scatterbeam and Twin Laser/Beamer turrets fire a single beam that looks like two. This is harder to fix than it sounds, unfortunately. In the meantime, if you want a dual beam turret, make one manually.
- The point of impact of a torpedo takes double damage. This needs fixing so that the torpedo doesn't deal any impact damage, just explosive damage, IMO.

And the list goes on. I've replaced everything that needed to be replaced on this specific sb4 and every sprite is where it's supposed to be. But not according to SM. I'll see if I can find something, but I have no fucking idea what this is.

Double underscores, AD.

Strange thing, but after playing with the new shipED a bit, somehow I lost the power of drag&drop... even after exiting the ed, I still can drag a thing on my desktop :lol:

Two minor errors.

If a slave weapon's Weapon Link is killed, you'll get an ignorable error box.

Should the slave weapon be left in an arc range exceeding it's set arc range, upon the loss of weapon link you will receive one more additional error prompt that can be ignored with no ill effects.
