v0.90a Bug Report Thread

[D00D!]

Got a triple error here when I try to load my ship.

ERROR in
action number 1
of Step Event
for object ctr_Turrets:

Error in code at line 49:

at position 29: Unknown variable l_owner

In addition, turrets that are mirrored have an annoying tendency to either sink to the bottom of the ship, float out of position when drived or simply vanish in the game. Shipmaker still works fine with them though

Pressing Cancel in the file dialogue of Load Encounters will crash the game with the following dialogue:

ERROR in
action number 1
of Alarm Event for alarm 0
for object MainMenuShip:

Data structure with index does not exist.

[lightstriker]

that's been true for every version I believe Annihalator

Triggers seem to reset a section's depth to what it was when placed instead of its user set depth

What the hell... you sure about that?

If so, can you post a demonstrative sb4?

Large and slow ships when losing sections, may start flying and bouncing around the screen uncontrollably.

Sounds like you're losing thrusters there.

Alright, here's a new one for you guys,
(I have yet to find a way to recreate this at will, but it exist somewhere...)

Sprites IN the interface



I tried moving the deflector around, and it quite literally is in the interface, it doesn't appear anywhere else, but the interface. However...


~~~ moments late when I tested things around ~~~

Is anyone experiencing this? it seems like 10% of the time, the section/weapon/etc starts at a north-west location at a random distance; I am currently looking at a blaster that has a coordinate of...

X = -4514
Y = -3985

I think lag has a part in this, the shipmaker does lag a bit.

Well, apparently, no I can't. I can reproduce the behavior, but it goes away after I save or mirror, and isn't there when I load the save. So... it's going to be hard to give you a save, and it is pretty easy to work around, but it's still moderately annoying.

Alright, here's a new one for you guys,

I have actually had this before, though not on the .90 SM. it seams to occur after placing multiple aegis deflectors without a target, and then placing another section. can't reproduce though

Edit: I also remember seeing the targeting lines for the aegis target the section in the gui, and the section in the gui appearing aegised.

This is an artifact of how GM works. Basically, the sidebar is placed at some far-off point in the same area as the workspace, and then the left side of the screen that is occupies is just a view pointed at the part of the 'room' where the sidebar is. By moving other pieces to the same coordinates as the sidebars, they will pop up there too, as both the sidebar and everything else all occupy the same space, they're just spaced far enough apart that this kind of 'bug' doesn't show up that often.

Sorry for the double-post, but I just got a nice, juicy error of my own that is currently preventing me from opening my ship in the SM, but not the sandbox.

Code: Select all

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.

If it helps, the ship has moving parts, and if I press 'ignore', it loads up about 1/5 of the sections, and the cursor disappears. Then, whenever I click, this pops up:

Code: Select all

ERROR in
action number 1
of Mouse Event for Glob Left Pressed

PM me if you need the .sb4.

Tell me how to reproduce it, then. Duh.



natan_j:
Do not set speed to 0...

I can fix that sb4 for you if needed.

[Siber]

Place some pieces, set some up to move via trigger. Now place another piece overlapping them, note which pieces are above which, and then manual alter depth till visible change occurs. Go to preview mode, trigger the movement, and watch it return to the depth state that existed when you first placed.

I just saved my ships, and my .sb4s disappeared or were overwritten (2 disappeared and one overwritten) and I cannot open them in the editor any more. The .shp files still work. How the hell do I restore the .sb4s???
